all the small walks also make it more likely you will do a big walk, had to go back in the suburbs to watch my parent's house and people thought it was weird I was doing 30 minute walks there

you should do the math on this, a social democratic welfare state cannot be solved purely on taxing the 1%

also no I dont think that israel is without autonomy and somehow were mechanically forced to jail people

I don't think the extent of civil detention combined with how the government makes propaganda gleeful about torturing them and the rape camps can be seen as using the power justly even if that was possible

weird take because most of the vampire killings I remember were caused by them actively trying to kill people.

I'm saying they're (designated /sapient race/ of enemies, all of whom are "fire at will" targets) and not incarnate evil because they're naturalistic

people in government as well as settlers have been pushing out palestinians as well as calling for that

I think you are underselling this

Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
fair enough for you but its not something that would sell leftist on it which I think was the original point

Problem is in freiren they are naturalistic, they don't come from hell or are made of sin. Its an orc by your definition not a demon

I think they're separating the leftists who are angry about voting for harris from those who say that they'll withold their vote until there's a leftist

I think that's a real monstrous morality that would equally justify the ICE concentration camps

If there's a majority blockade that people understand as a way to force ethnic cleansing through starvation I think we can say this is an attempt at genocide

and for intent, in the same article: "the chair of the major settler organisation Nahala, Daniella Weiss, was more explicit. Asked what would happen to the 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, she said: “The Arabs will move.” Just as Israel “doesn’t give them food” "

I don't think bombing aid trucks or calling for food blockades is good guy behavior

are you arguing a country should be able to hold people forever with no charges or investigation if another country thinks they shouldn't exist?

In the tens of thousands for years? Before a war too? I think this is something we should worry about especially when the government in question runs rape camps and openly celebrates how it tortures these people

Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
how is me talking about how food aid was blocked by isreal moving the goalposts from israel attempting to starve people?

Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
no, you'd need a statistic to prove that. Your anecdotes technically only prove there is about 50 of them

Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
hey, remember the floating pier situation? You may want to look into why that happened. Israel's defense minister called for a total blockade

Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
even beyond that why would you trust any government holding people without trial on suspicion of terrorism? Like that was a big issue people had with america and still have

Why Does Israel Have So Many Palestinians in Detention and Available to Swap?
While many have rightly hailed the release of civilians held hostage by Hamas after the killings of hundreds of Israelis and other civilians on October 7 — hostage-taking is a war crime — less attenti...

Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
trying to starve people is also a war crime

so what percentage of buildings hit in rafah were hamas? More or less than 50%? were those aid trucks hamas? Was the news lying when they said they weren't?

but america provides munitions to israel

Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
considering the exile of all germans from 1870 onward its a clear ethnic cleansing
000
Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
I do have to ask at this point, what do you want to change from the pro palestinian ethnic cleansing status quo

Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
not what they are doing

Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
just no? No counterargument?

The nuance is that both groups are working on defacto eliminationist doctrine but only one has significant capacity to enact it
100
Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
of course the IDF mostly not targetting hamas is not a problem

Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I have to ask: by this logic should we not provide precision munitions to palestinians?

Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I think the second part about kidnapping ignores the power of kidnappings as propaganda in the same way america did when they promoted the use of torture. How many people joined hamas because an israeli sniper kneecapped a child they knew for example?

nazis thought slavs were subhumans that would corrupt the blood of "real" people I'm less knowledgeable on the soviet side but I'm pretty sure they saw nationalists and kulaks as a corrupting fifth column

the protest at the border between 2018-2019

Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I don't think you can call tens of thousands of people arrested for no official reason not kidnapping. You are just certain that israel is operating in good faith to the point that them doing secret police shit must be justified

Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
you are thinking of a different time period from the one I'm referencing
000
Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I mean you did basically say that palestine's freedom is not possible because they do more than zero terrorism while israel's freedom is a given while they kill far more people than anyone in gaza has

that doesn't make it better

they do also get them for free, like I agree they buy arms but america also sends them freebies

Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
considering the rhetoric used as well as how the government has argued complete annexation into their ethnostate I think we have intent
100
Vorarchivist @voraciousarchivist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
so your argument is that israel would spring for less precise munitions if they have to buy them? Also by this logic should america give hamas precision munitions?
