Hey, you don’t have to agree, you just have to follow the rules of the community.

Just as a heads up, we don’t like horseshoe theory here, which “authoritarian” falls under. Please refrain from horseshoe theory posting.
Also, factually, China isn’t a dictatorship. They follow a proletarian democratic model that is significantly distinct from bourgeois democratic models.
Fascism is caused by systemic political and economic factors- basically when capitalist psuedo democracy runs out of runway and the capitalists choose to preserve capitalism over the concessions of bourgeois democracy.
If you care about democracy you have to join a socialist org and fight for socialism.
What do you think he gets wrong?
^^^ missing an /s tag for my overly literal fellow travelers
Sure, it is, and what Israel chooses to do with the support is entirely up to them, but we aren’t supplying them so they can continue a genocide, we are supplying them for their own defense.
If they keep using weapons we ship them “for defense” for genocide then we are shipping them weapons for genocide, you can’t just feign ignorance when it is so obvious.
No, that’s not defense. Defense is shooting down the Iranian missile attacks. Legitimate defense is why Biden approves sending support to Israel.
Isn’t killing occupying Israeli forces committed to genocide defense?
It isn’t just missile interceptors:

Israel has the right to defend itself from attacks
Is killing hundreds of thousands of civilians with something like 70 percent women/children casualties defending itself? If genocide is required to defend itself, it should be destroyed.
Also, Palestinians have a right to armed resistance against an occupying force in accordance with international law. Do you support the United Front’s right to defend itself against Israel?
No, the argument was that he was so enthusiastic about genocide that he was willing to break the law to be a vital part of it.
Did you read the article because your response article doesn’t really address it, or the moral culpability of it either
Like, is the argument you’re making that congress also approves of giving weapons to allow genocide, so it is fine actually?
If there is one thing this Genocide on its way to Holocaust has shown us. is that the Democrat Party leadership are without a doubt sociopaths of the worst kind
Nah, they’re normal people well adjusted to an evil system. The trial of the nazis showed that it wasn’t mental illness, just normal people doing very evil things.
but neither Biden nor Harris are the ones out there targeting individuals or pulling triggers.
Isn’t this pres admin breaking US law to send even more weapons for the genocide?
You use “oh it is just iron dome stuff” rhetoric but that’s not true, and even if it was, a defensive system lets them take violent actions with less worry of retaliation
This you?
Do you often make up fantasies about strangers on the internet that you lose arguments to?

That is what your little middle school demonstration of informal logical fallacies are though, you’re substituting arguments for “um actually fallacy” like it is some checkmate that dismisses everything people are saying.
Notice how you went for an “um actually I didn’t technically say those words” instead of responding to this:
You’re straight up doing it though, like, your nuanced bullshit around Israeli settlers and indigenous Palestinians.
Genocide isn’t morally complicated, and the fact that you’re debate broing about it defensively when people say shit that is just objectively correct, like, “Israel is a settler colonial state commiting genocide” is a real indication that maybe you should step back for five minutes and check in with yourself.
You’re straight up doing it though, like, your nuanced bullshit around Israeli settlers and indigenous Palestinians.
Consider that you have to keep declaring victory because you’re aware on some level that you’re wrong on this.
You’d say “its nuanced” about colonizers killing indigenous tribes and the indigenous tribes fighting back.
A 1000 year Middle East conflict “isn’t a complex issue”?
Israel as a settler colonial entity is around 100 years old. Before that, Christians, Muslims, and Jews lived in the same area with very little sectarian violence for around 800 years.
Would you defend german ally troops during the holocaust? No? Then maybe reflect.
Honestly, I am quite surprised how low tankies are willing to go to defend China. As a Chinese, it is very disheartening to me that people have never experienced or seen the suffering of living under an authoritarian government, are more willing to blindly defend it, than having a intellectual discussion.
Compare the prison population of the US to China’s lol.
likely means the wage that reaches your bank account, i.e. wage - 401k, insurance etc
Well ain’t that a shit definition then
Lol no you can still call fascists fascists. We are just asking you to use more accurate language.
