The Democracy of the founding fathers was Greek Democracy, predicated upon a slave society, and restricted to only the elite. This is the society we live in today, even with our reforms towards direct representation. The system is inherently biased towards the election of elites and against the representation of the masses. Hamilton called it “faction” when the working class got together and demanded better conditions, and mechanisms were built in (which still exist to this day) that serve to ensure the continued dominance of the elite over the masses. The suffering of the many is intentional. The opulence of the wealthy is also. This is the intended outcome.

I'm fine with discussing politics here, but I'd rather the post be funny. There's plenty of jokes you could make about this, but this post is just a wall of text.

Ok. Well I’ll be sure to change what I’ve been doing for months to cater to your desires. Thanks for letting me know!

You cannot even define the difference between capitalism and fascism. I do think you should change what you are doing.

Go simp for more genocidal masters, I’m sure they’ll never turn it against you.

Bro, I'm a primary source. Have fun not impacting the world at all.

There's only one side in this conflict claiming death to one side and it's not Israel. When a group tells you who they are, you should believe them.

Yep. When the Israelis say their intention is to push all palestinians in Gaza into the Sinai Peninsula, I believe them. Which is by definition genocide.

Scumbag zionists using Hitler tactics.

Yeep. If they’re really a “primary source” (read: Israeli Colonizer), they’re likely personally harmed Palestinians if they’re old enough for their mandatory service.,

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Got a primary source for that?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Several. I have spoken to many family friends, one of whom is an Israeli journalist. Do you have a complex perspective or just meaningless grandstanding based on your own infallibility. This is what this has always been, horny trans memes with a heavy tilt against systems of oppression and genocidal governments. This is not equatable to supporting those systems, because one hurts people and one offends you. Hamas is not Palestine, civilians are not militants, only one group here has been occupying land and displacing innocents for generations.

Your source is that you know a person who heard it once from a journalist speaking their opinion? I'll let that speak for itself.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No I know a person who is a journalist in Israel and is Israeli. Don't reply if you don't care to read for meaning and just to argue for your own biases.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's not a primary source and you are a useful idiot.

Don't reply if you're not going to provide a source other than your word. My bias is that I'm formally trained in identifying mis and disinformation within large scale combat operations. Sorry that you assume that bias is not taken into account in a professional setting. I'll just trust your "I know a guy" narrative.

Their former UN envoy is on record saying Palestinians are animals. Not hamas. Palestinians. If you don't see what they're trying to do, you don't have your eyes open.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I'm not familiar with that record but I'm sure that if it is true it has something to do with the former title. People get emotional sometimes. That doesn't make it policy.
