Israel is fascist. They don’t need to put much effort into making their propaganda particularly realistic because the people they want to eat it up will do so, both knowingly and not. Their usual audience already wants ethnic cleansing, they’re active participants in it.

They assume their audience won’t care. They’re mostly correct, though media literate people are noticing and undermining their efforts more than they hoped.

Surely this other monopoly will save us

Ask your mom if lying is bad

Redditor moment

Did anyone leave behind a child? We’ve got a lost kid here, very confused and scared.

Bluster can definitely be engagement, you need to learn your words better, child. Though I spent time to explain things to you at length.

It’s a shame you’re not honest enough to handle contradiction. Your insecurity is on full display.

Feel free to compare the engagement in my responses to you vs. your responses to me and ask yourself, “am I a good, honest leftist or a liberal coward?”

Yawn

Yawn

You’ve got such Reddit brain that you think someone directly telling you no is a dodge, lol

Yawn

How novel: ignore what I say, ask a question.

Oh I did, just not with the kind of answer you wanted. Poor baby.

Yawn

Feel free to revisit my original comment in this thread where I go over what is meant by “socialist country”. Funnily enough, it’s the first comment of mine you replied to, though you didn’t address anything I said in it and instead just started asking stupid questions. At least you’re consistent!

Consult my previous answer, as you seem to have had trouble reading it.

Me: writes paragraphs explaining my thoughts and answering your questions and ask a few questions, all of which you ignore.

You: write 1-2 sentences in response, usually just asking new questions rather than engage.

Sure buddy, I’m the scared one.

I will wait for you to reply to the things I’ve said.

lol, you think I’m offended? I’m really just bored. I’ve been giving you chance after chance to engage just in case, but it eventually gets tedious - and indicates that good faith is not something you respond to. You seem to engage much more directly with people in this thread that you think you have bothered. Ask yourself if that’s a healthy thing to do.

It’s funny that you haven’t learned that I don’t actually care about your attempts at goading, either. Refer to my previous response to your question.

Okay, so regarding democracy, when you said you didn’t vote to allow a genocide in Gaza, were you saying a vote should have been taken, thus making the United States a more democratic country?

I was giving an example to challenge common presumptions about what is democratic and what something with that labels can then be used to justify. The idea is to get you to think critically and ask your own questions about what the true meaning of that label is by how it gets applied. It’s not about what is simply true democracy and what is not. It’s what function the term and concept serves in our societies, particularly Western ones where it is used chauvinistically and is full of contradictions. Nothing can be more “authoritarian” (the other half of this concept’s dichotomy) than inflicting mass death and disposession and there isn’t even a fig leaf of requiring informed consent from the people of the state that’s supporting the genocide you see happening right in front of you. At the same time, the label of “democracy” is used everywhere to justify these dehumanizing, racist actions. Have you ever heard, “only democracy in the Middle East”? Have you ever wondered what makes an apartheid settler ethnostate democratic? What does it really mean?

The goal is to get you to critically engage with the tropes and thought-controlling cliches at work here. Your questions are full of them. It’s clear you’ve never really questioned hegemonic thinking and at the moment you’re being combative towards the idea of applying a little critical thinking or, God forbid, answering my questions or statements.

If that’s the case, then we agree that more democracy is good. If that’s not the case, why did you bring it up?

That last question is the only thing you should’ve said in reply to my first comment. An attempt to understand rather than an attempt to eagerly dismiss what you have never investigated.

I have answered that question twice now, though.
