jordan peterson (with legs crossed too tightly): what women fail to understand is… every time Lucy pulls that football away. that takes a toll. that takes a psychological toll on Charlie Brown.
Hamas has no reason to attack US citizens as polls show the public is becoming increasingly pro Palestine the longer this conflict goes on. Also Hamas is very busy currently fighting a guerilla war against the IDF inside the Gaza Strip.
imagine if someone said “arm and leg strength are correlated, therefore there must be an underlying ‘g’ factor, a 'general strength’. we can test for this by simply having someone lift a series of heavy objects, and if someone’s SQ or 'strength quotient” is low, instead of trying to increase it through exercise, we should just declare them fundamentally unalterably inferior.“
literally the stupidest people are commenting on some of these posts about media and antisemitism. marxist media criticism is not antisemitic. im deeply sorry that so many people have never looked into the structure of the american media or the history of imperialism because then it would be extremely obvious why someone would make sweeping statements about media bias towards imperialism and zionism. fun fact the new york times runs their articles by the state dept first! you understand that fascism purposefully adapted language from socialism, not the other way around. stop fucking implying that everyone talking about media bias is probably antisemitic, this is ridiculous and ceding ground to the right on an issue thats pretty important
the right wing of the imperialist bourgeoisie is exactly as much our enemy as the left wing of the imperialist bourgeoisie. they have all their interests in common and are exactly equal in their willingness to carry out genocide to defend those interests. the only things they disagree on are matters internal to the imperial bourgeoisie - the division of taxation, the precise execution of their class’s imperial projects, etc. not only are these differences immaterial to us not among the bourgeoisie, but they are also a realm of politics that we fundamentally have zero influence over. what affects us, and what we are capable of effecting, are proletarian politics, and proletarian politics alone.
as well as allthe ways that it’s just running rhetorical cover for the genocidal murder of the people of gaza, the liberal obsession with “condemming hamas” is so fucking indicative of Mind Palace Politics. like okay all us pro-palestine protestors will Condemn Hamas. we’ll go blockade all of those famous hamas arms factories in our countries, protest our politicians who go on TV saying hamas has the unconditional right to kill as many israelis as it wants, boycott all the multinational companies that work with hamas to help them kill israelis. oh wait whats that? none of those things fucking exist? only israel has those things? well then it seems like ‘condemming hamas’ is pretty fucking pointless innit!
like again even before you engage with the reality of what 'condemming hamas’ really means, every time i see some idiot pundit or liberal zionist handwringing over “why aren’t there marches against hamas in europe and america???” it is so fucking irritating because the answer is the most clearcut and obvious it could possibly be. americans aren’t having anti-hamas protests because their government isn’t arming, backing, funding, and enabling hamas. that’s why. it’s really fucking simple!
