Intermittently I get a fit of the bleak giggles thinking about how much poorer the Iran war has made all of us. Bills and inflation going up on the theory of “drop a few bombs, magic happens, Reza Pahlavi comes back”.

Sometimes when I'm burned out the only thing that makes me feel better is doing historical research. Right now I'm looking at the way people from the UK participated in the building of the Göta Canal. It was drawn up by Thomas Telford, who also sent lots of workmen to the project.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back

One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

YOU are arguing that the state can go, as long as there are rights, and that anyone pointing out the real issue with this (rights can be taken away) is "justifying genocide". So let's hear it, what is YOUR solution to make sure rights are protected, if it's not a state? Go on.

The Crusader Project @crusaderproject.bsky.social · 17h

Your response to my point about Jewish people having rights before 1933 that did nothing to protect them was met with 'you're justifying genocide', and the only conclusion I can draw from that is a complete failure of thinking and total absence of any historical literacy. 1/2

"There is a western backed war against Russia." It literally isn't. It's a war against Ukraine, and Ukraine is in a war with Russia, not against it. It'll end in a second if Russia decides it had enough. But tanks don't see it that way.

I maybe weird, but I am not as weird as some cretins who think it's fine for Israel to be abolished as long as people there have rights. You know who also had rights? Jewish people in the Weimar Republic, and Jewish people in Belgium, Holland, France, Austria and Italy. Fat lot of good it did them.

‘Western-backed war against them’ - seems you are in dire need of a history lesson on the origins of the war against Ukraine. As for equating the two, charitably, you either believe 7 October was a false flag or you’re unaware it happened.

If the Ukrainians stopped fighting, Bucha would be repeated manifold, because the western Ukrainian lands are full of people the Russians hate even more than the Eastern Ukrainian lands, where they already mass murder at will. There’s no alternative to fight.

It actually is working. It’s preventing the Russians from getting into western parts of Ukraine where they would mass-murder, torture and generally genocide even more Ukrainians than they already do.

Not just any country. It’s stupid position to hold in general and an insane one in this particular case. Like the idiot who observed that Judaism had been doing well for 2000 years before Israel was founded.

Maybe if spend like a single second thinking about WHY Israel exists, the cretinous nature of your question will become obvious to you. I suspect not however.
