Thank you for the explanation. I don’t think you’re wrong, but I do think you underestimate the protective power of name recognition. It’s stupid it works this way, but simply by being there she offers some additional protection to all the other brave individuals participating and thus reduces the chances that they all become names on that list.
I wish others in her position could realize that fact and be brave enough to put themselves in harms way to reduce the risk us mere mortals face.
I’d encourage you to read the reply from SassyRamen and the subsequent discussion there. It’s not about being “semantically correct” it’s about understanding.
Why the use of the word “poor”? She’s being brave as hell and using her publicity in a very productive manner.
Those children grow up to be the ones writing policy. They are people too, don’t forget that you were also once a child.
The “stupidest shit” that is said is often due to them being isolated and in a social bubble where those beliefs are the norm. Those “Internet arguments” may be the only exposure to ideas outside and social pushback outside said bubble.
Lack of evidence of outcome is not evidence of outcome.
If you’re getting heated you’re doing it wrong.
The payoff isn’t to convince the other person one way or another, it’s to provide others reading the discussion alternative viewpoints. In this case pushing back against the idea that children’s thoughts, feelings and questions should be ignored.
Ah, you’re just being a pedant. My bad.
If it’s not your first language it’s confusing, try interpreting “the worst” as “evil”.
The most evil scum human history has seen
Makes perfect sense
Both sides can’t be “evil” if one is “the lesser evil”.
Doesn’t make sense.
Hope that helps!
The time period they are referencing (old history at this point…) the Ottoman empire was in control of the area and it operated as something of an apartheid state. Pogroms, persecution and oppression absolutely happened. However it was mostly a new import from western Europe. Jewish citizens were second class but they were still “people of the book” and fared much better for most of the empire’s history.
However, understanding a bit more history there is a direct through line from those historical wrongs and the modern Palestinian genocide. It is just a continuation of the Spanish, Portuguese and British (amongst others) campaign against ethnicly semetic peoples that the Jewish people also historically fell victim to.
I will note the slew of pogroms in the middle east and ask you read about why the Bar Giora was formed.
I understand that you are trying to draw a direct line from the modern IDF to a historic Jewish Resistance Movement. However, I would argue that it was coopted by foreign powers and abandoned it’s goal of an independent jewish state after it’s transformation into the Haganah and transitioned from a defensive force (largely support) to a colonizing force (don’t support).
I do not support the Ottoman empire in its persecution of religious minorities. However, I do not see how your logic and worldview wouldn’t support the Ottomans in persecuting the Jewish people at the time due to their militant tactics. What perspective am I missing?
Tell me what your point is or drop it.
The point is controlled opposition, perverse incentives, and the power/danger of “sell outs”.
No, it originated from a 1975 Senate hearing where civil rights lawyer Jack Greenberg took Joe Biden to task for sponsoring bills that would prevent desegregation in Delaware.
The nickname really caught on after the series of “new Jim Crow” legislation, nomination, etc. that culminated in the 90s crime bill.
He was chosen as Obama’s VP explicitly due to that history along with that nickname as a form of appeasement with the “white moderates”.

I’m blanking on the exact phrase, but it’s something like “never believe a number with unreported error”.
To get further into the weeds there is a significant difference in approach between theoretical and experimental science. In experimental science it’s not only enough to communicate what you “know” but to communicate the underlying biased, tolerances and precisions of the thing being measured and modeling approach being used.
these represent the threshold of the known.
I would argue that those representations are inherently bad science because they do not communicate the margin of error. Grue, I believe you are spot on with a concept in how you would make those drawings more scientifically accurate, but ultimately they are artistic renderings of scientific understandings, but not scientific themselves.
While I don’t disagree with WoodScientist that modern scientific institutions are inherently conservative, the process of science is not, nor should it be. Apologizing for the inherent conservatism in science is unscientific, harms belief in vetted resulted, conflates institutions for processes and projects a people problem onto the inanimate.
Gonna also address why his nickname in Congress was Jim Crow Joe?
Are you not entertained? You realize that for a good joke you have to kind of go with it right?
the re-colonization of Israel by Jews goes back at least as far as the 1200s.
Immigration is not the same as colonization. When immigrating to a location (even mass migration) the power dynamics do not allow for the migrating group to dominate the local group. Colonization is when that power dynamic is flipped.
There have been war crimes on both sides, and they both need be acknowledged
Again power dynamics and scale are the most important factor here. If someone punches you that does not give you the right to murder their whole family. If someone peacefully barged their way into your home and you to leave what would your response be?
They were used by the Nazis to potentially make impossible choices that hurt their fellow community members, but they had to make these choices or else their community would have suffered even more harm
Yes, but why did Nazi Germany form them? What was their purpose in the machine?
I’m curious where you find a connection between these WWII Judenrates
I think it would be more productive for you to do a bit of reading and come back with what you think I’m getting at. I think answering that now would color the perception and make it harder to learn about a very important political concept.
I appreciate the honesty but you seem to be missing the perspective that:
The existence of the State of Israel is an explicit British colonization project and currently exists as a puppet state of “the empire”.
The power imbalance between the state of Israel and Hamas and the repeated, and well documented, war crimes and ethnic cleansing perpetrated by the State of Israel.
Left wing vs Right wing is a false dichotomy. You will have opinions and viewpoints of both matter your political self identification and they are poorly defined.
I would be curious to know your opinions about the judenrätes of WWII (whether they were heroes or villains, left wing vs right wing, etc.) and how the current State of Israel is not just a continuation of that?
Lol, well now that you’re in a better mood are you going to address any of the things we were discussing?
Yet again with the wild assumption (projections?) about those you’re talking to. Not needy, just annoyed and concerned. This pattern of behavior ends poorly.
The comments will continue until your self awareness improves.
Can’t use it to find evidence or get a warrant, but absolutely do use it to figure out who to target/where to look for evidence.
Herring Vs. United States set the de facto legal basis that allows for this sort of evidence laundering.
Why don’t you care? Why say anything if you don’t?
“killed by Israeli fire” is quite the choice of phrase.
