OurToothbrush,

Yes those are all indications of colonial violence turned inward.

Trying to prosecute him for his real crimes is honestly damaging the election chances of Biden, lots of voters with a vicarious persecution complex through Trump.

OurToothbrush,

And if you only treat symptoms, what happens?

Also no, in many cases you do not have to treat symptoms, and it can be damaging to do so. It’s not a good extension of the metaphor.

OurToothbrush,

As empires collapse imperial violence turns inward. For a more in depth analysis I would read anticolonial theory or Marxist analysis of Nazi germany, like “economy and class structure of german fascism”

OurToothbrush, (edited )

I mean we don’t have a dictator and we’re involved in killing tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians over the course of a month. Even if Trump is never elected again we keep sliding into fascism, and liberalism doesn’t really have a response to that besides to join in.

OurToothbrush, (edited )

Honestly this is just liberal strongman politics.

Please learn to identify and complain about the things that are actually increasing fascism and not just be like “bad people might make the country bad if they’re in charge” Trump is a symptom not the disease.

Denying entry to random people is different than telling someone to leave?

Imagine the difference between a bar with a bouncer at the door and a bar without, and then apply that principle at a much larger scale.

OurToothbrush,

But it makes it much harder to control who is in a space, which means in practice there are additional liberties.

OurToothbrush,

There is a massive difference if you can practically establish who is allowed into and out of a country

OurToothbrush,

Literally the free movement of people? Borders used to be “the zone of control of a government” and couldnt really exist as checkpoints for people moving back and forth over the border.

OurToothbrush, (edited )

They couldn’t effectively police borders, so they didn’t. Technology and population density influences the way the state works and whether they could do borders as they existed in the 20th century and exist in the 21st century.

The argument isn’t against technology, it is saying borders as they are understood here are a relatively recent technology relying on other technologies

OurToothbrush,

They’d kick you out and burn down your house or kill you for being an invader?

That is a complete anachronism, unless you actually were an invader. Have you actually researched this or are you just taking your assumptions and trying to apply them to history?

OurToothbrush,

Exile as punishment for a crime and keeping slaves is distinct from having a border with border controls.

OurToothbrush,

Literally whether you can control human migration between territories.

OurToothbrush,

Yeah, and that is not equivalent to modern borders.

OurToothbrush,

A war with better armed Ukraine would be shorter.

We could make Russian dominance in the region history, just like the myth of their military competence is history.

The “west” is running out of stockpiled munitions at this point.

As Obama said, Russia will always have escalatory dominance in Ukraine. The Biden administration is just dragging out a loss.

OurToothbrush,

Love to save ukrainian children by dragging the war on, making it deadlier and deadlier.

As Obama said, “Russia will always have escalatory dominance in the region”

OurToothbrush, (edited )

Yes. People aren’t born to hate they’re taught to hate. If you’re going to act like kids in Gaza aren’t taught to hate in school, and in training camps then you’re either defending terrorists or you’re just ignorant.

If you think that kids and Gaza need to be taught to hate when the colonizer is out there already teaching them through violence youre just ignorant. If you want to stop training camps existing in the first place, stop the settler colonial project.

Read Fanon liberal.

Let’s listen to the people who literally did the holocaust on issues of genocide /s

OurToothbrush, (edited )

Yes, quite literally. They understand what’s at stake for society as well or better than anyone on the planet right now.

Really? More than jewish holocaust survivors and their descendents? Get a fucking grip.

It is embarrassing that anyone upvoted this nonsense.

They’re also a good example of how deradicalization efforts can be effective, not perfect but effective as reestablishing a modern liberal democracy.

Are you living in the reality where Germany doesn’t have a far right extremism problem, and where denazification was actually successful?

Gaza will need something other than what they currently have for an education system if they are to develop into anything other than a terrorist enclave.

Yes, radicalization happens because of bad education, and not because Israel keeps stealing their land and killing them.

OurToothbrush, (edited )

So you’re saying that you think the curriculum and education, that involves coloring books showing the shooting of Jews and hands on training with weapons for elementary school children isn’t a problem?

Sure it is a problem, and it isnt going to solved until Israel stops being a settler colonial apartheid state or they entirely murder or displace every Palestinian. I’m guessing you prefer the latter?

On a technical note, Jews didn’t colonize Judea. They’ve been there since before the Arabs. They decolonized the region, Palestine and Gaza is literally a colony in practice.

What not ever reading a book on colonial theory does to a motherfucker

We are all from Africa, but if you went to Libya and started killing people and claiming their land as your own, you’d be a fucking settler. So to with Israel.

OurToothbrush,

You did a typo i think

OurToothbrush,

Zionists intentionally tie zionism and Judaism together, endangering non zionist Jewish people.
