Israeli Jews are mostly European and Americans, you can look up the census.

Israel was created as a way for Europe to not give the European Jewish people their land, wealth, language and influence back in Europe after CENTURIES of oppression. But yeah, it’s the Muslim’s fault. You don’t even understand your own history at this point, you just want to hate Muslims, even when majority Catholic countries like Spain are calling out Israel.

But history is history.

LMAO rich coming from someone who is defending a country that was apparently promised to a group of people THREE THOUSAND YEARS AGO. Check your own hypocrisy.

Today in 2026, 2/3 of racial attacks in my country are against Jews. We have synagogues being shot at coinciding with events in the Middle East. Sorry to pierce the safe little bubble you’ve built for yourself, but anti-zionism is the same as anti-semitism now

Post stats. Back up your statement. If you’re going to call the Jews in Israel refusing to serve under the IDF when they are attacking civilians in Gaza and Lebanon anti-semetic, back up your statement. If you’re going to call the Jews around the world speaking up and saying that Israel should stop bombing children and civilians, back up your statement about them being anti-semites. If you’re going to defend an environmentalist getting bombed in Lebanon because she didn’t want to leave her conservation work, back up your statements about why she deserved to die.

And if you live in Canada, here’s the police stats about hate crimes there. It’s not 2/3’s btw, because anti-Islam hatecrime is also up there in the numbers, and so is anti-Asian.

It’s hilarious that you say I live in an anti-semetic bubble, when the evidence actually points to YOU living in one. I’m glad others also called you out on it.

It’s crazy that all you have to do is be perceived to be more charismatic and competent than Liz Truss and Rishi fucking Sunak, and Starmer only just cleared that low, low bar. This might be hell.

In basic terms: too left for the right, too right for the left. He appears to have pulled the Labour party more centre-right and abandoned a lot of the socialist and soc-dem positions for more neoliberal policies (though people have varying opinions if it’s actually true.) That has made a lot of people unhappy, leading to a surge of Reform UK (the ultra-right party) and the Green Party (the left, environmental focused party). You can see the current trends in this Wikipedia article as well as the other parties in play.

If it gets to a point where Jews are leaving your country to escape antisemitic violence, who’s the monsters?

LMAO, the people who leave are getting discounted houses/free land stolen from LIVING families who are now homeless. There are so many fucking reports, documentaries, and interviews about this, spanning back to the 19-fucking-70s. The Nakba is a real historically analyzed event. Fucking Helen Mirren has a quote about what she saw:

Mirren said of her experience in Israel at that time:
I witnessed things that were wrong. I witnessed Arabs being thrown out of their houses in Jerusalem. But it was just the extraordinary magical energy of a country just beginning to put its roots in the ground. It was an amazing time to be here.

Who’s the monster? Look in the mirror, “space cowboy”. From a Canadian instance no less: you exist in a server on stolen treaty land, and you’re support other’s land getting stolen. What else is new.

It’s so blatant too, for anyone with half a brain. We’re part of 5 Eyes, there’s like 97 data centres being built or already in the late stages of approval here, and all of our internet traffic is controlled by 3 mega ISPs in moustache and glasses. We’re already being tracked pretty thoroughly. Conservatives or Liberals, it doesn’t matter when it comes to selling Canadians off to foreign corporate entities.

Sorry, I was unclear. I meant the layoffs were related to replacing pandemic hires working from home with cheaper H1Bs willing to RTO/take cheaper salaries, since by then everyone was boostered up and ready for travel, and visa applicationswere actually being processed instead of “backlogged” (ignored) by Trump Admin 1.0.

Wasn’t this more related to the Trump era H1B limitations expiring under Biden around 2022? I may be misremembering the timeline since time after 2020 is fucked, but I swear I remember a greater uptick of H1B hires in tech around this time, as well as outsourcing teams to India.

There are probably many more minds that could hack being a good doctor, but are smart enough to go into a field where the work-life balance hasn’t been a terrible trope since 1900.

This was me. Studied for and did well on the required exams, interviewed at a couple of schools, and in between my interviews and acceptance letter I talked to a couple of people in residency at my university. The descriptions of their work-life balance was so atrocious, and the altruism of the profession so stomped out of their mentality that I decided I could probably help people in other ways.

As I watched a couple of my close friends battle depression all through medical school and residency with very little institutional or mentor support, I decided I absolutely made the right choice. I really respect you for staying within the system and becoming an RN, because you guys also have it just as rough, along with the added disrespect of “But you’re not a DOCTOR.”

I don’t know why medicine is so gatekeepy in it’s processes. Being strict in education and procedures I understand. But the heirarchy, egoism, and political games to grind down all these young trainees is quite archaic.

How is this better???

I’m sorry to have to tell you this but cocaine isn’t a pharmaceutical, buddy 🥲

Some would argue these immigrants were the formally wealthy class fleeing the revolution, and that was initially true. But that was just over 60 years ago now. This doesn’t explain modern asylum seekers very well

To be fair I think a lot of Cuba’s struggles and failures are a direct result of decades of US embargo and interference.

This I can agree with. I don’t think Cuba is like…HEAVEN for people living there, by the way. But I also disagree that it was an “absolute hellscape” before the Trump Admin 1.0 came in and destroyed any forward momentum the Obama administration created towards fully lifting the embargoes, and I don’t think (as far as I know) the Biden administration did as much to reverse them. The last 12 years is really what has cemented the hardships in Cuba (and Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Nicaragua etc) are suffering from, and this is reflected in the stories of the (non-American) Cubans I hear from daily around me.

Then you have fuckers like Rubio pushing for taking over Cuba “for their own good” and to “save the country” and like… I’m sorry if I feel like residual bitterness of my Cuban friends and family towards American Cubans pushing this narrative colour my view.

Already drafting the petition to leave the commonwealth.

What if he’s a cook but he also has unmedicated ADHD

So this is the year for a summer Japan trip, got it.

Thanks!

Guess I’m gonna keep on my plan of keeping an eye on the used market and hoping for honest gamers who don’t mark up their 2nd hand GPUs

This is really helpful for my CS/mathamatics courses actually, but if you think my English prof is gonna be able to parse a git repository… :/

I know many Canadian-Cubans that visit family and have families that visit Canada no problem.

Love how you ignored this part and focused on whatever was beneficial for propping up your worldview

It’s not just in-bound tourism, I probably made the mistake of emphasizing the cruises. Notice I said that Cubans from outside of America were able to travel to visit family, and vice-versa. If it was such a hellscape, why would people choose to travel back to Cuba after leaving?

You realize the rest of the world has been able to freely travel to Cuba and come back safe and sound since the 60s, right? Like…

We have been suffering the 42 years I’ve been alive […] It’s the kind of hell you risk anything to escape!

??? How the fuck do 4.7 million people visit/year on cruise ships and air planes if Cuba is suffering? I know many Canadian-Cubans that visit family and have families that visit Canada no problem.

Americans believe so much bullshit propaganda about our country

Yeah, and you’re literally one of them lmao
