The Liberalism to Fascism Pipeline (Neoliberalism Explained)

Economic Update: Fascism

Why Trump is a fascist and a brief history of fascism

https://blowback.show/ also provides all the sources used, can be found on any podcast service. It’s done by two great journalists and they also interview people who have direct experience with the conflict, such as independent journalists who were on-the-ground

You’re actually right about it being a Palestinian proposal. It was proposed multiple times since the late 1920s, and even during the meetings of the 1947 UN partition plan.

Books:

• Nur Masalha - Expulsion of the Palestinians: The Concept of Transfer in Zionist Political Thought 1882-1948
• Simha Flapan - The Birth of Israel Chapter 1 and 2
• Ilan Pappe - A History of Modern Palestine Chapter 3 and 4

It’s almost like 19 is the median age, due to the ongoing apartheid and ethnic cleansing, and Palestinians have only ever known life under the violent supremacist Zionist occupation.

Hamas and other resistance groups are fighting for the end to the apartheid and ethnic cleansing, Zionism is fighting to continue and accelerate them.

Resistance of the oppressed isn’t equivalent to the violence of the oppressors. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is a clear example of that

Deadliest for children because Israel targets children.

Resistance groups grow because of the fucking apartheid

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of it before, the cast looks great

I think addiction is a key aspect. Like with gambling there is of course that aspect of responsibility, but regulation to minimize harm is also important.

All the major social media apps being designed to exploit that dopamine response is kind of like junk foods being the most common due to being subsidized; of course people just shouldn’t eat junk food, but we should make healthy options the most prevalent and common instead.

Of course that would require a government that would actually force corporations to implement harm reductive measures, instead of one bought by and working for corporations…

FOSS alternatives like Lemmy, Pixelfed, and Loops should be much healthier due to no algorithm working to maximize engagement. I also think social isolation is a big part of the addiction aspect, at least in America

Tbf, Wesley was on a pretty good run until he broke space-time with a science project

Oh there are for sure anti-semites who verneer their anti-semitism with anti-israel language, like Candace Owens. They also can’t help themselves but conflate Jewish people with Israelis, as if they are all the same and monolithic, at least in my experience.

Of course they also support the same kind of fascist ideologies and policies, they just try to hide their anti-semitism as anti-israel. The difference between pro-israel anti-semites and anti-israel anti-semites is that the pro-israel ones want to deport all Jewish people to Israel, while the anti-israel anti-semites don’t want Jewish people to exist at all.

It’s pretty easy to spot imo, but it’s important to be critical when unsure

The IHRA definition conflates Anti-zionism with anti-semitism, in order to criminalize pro-palestinian activists and organizations protesting the genocide. Rescinding the IHRA definition improves combating genuine anti-semitism, by not attributing the actions of Israel with Judaism and by no longer providing cover for pro-israel anti-semites like Musk and Christian Zionists

I think it can be helpful for some. I know people who’ve had success by lowering the nicotine % they vape gradually down to 0

Zionist Settlers revel in terrorizing and forcibly displacing Palestinians

Here are some informative videos if you want to share, the Gaza Ghetto Uprising, Roadmap to Apartheid, and The Palestine Laboratory are the ones I’d recommend the most

I don’t see any drastic changes on Trump’s approval, but there’s unfavorablity across the board otherwise
