I said nothing about anti-zionism and I responded to a poster blaming the murder of a group of innocent people on criticism of Israel and asking non-Jews to consider the same

Of course not! Where did you read that?

No, I fundamentally disagree with the message being put out. Innocent jewish Australians have been killed because they have been blamed for the actions of Israel - trying to make the two congruent only makes that worse

I am fairly neutral regarding zionism. However, the linking of the behaviour of Israel with jewish people worldwide puts those people at risk and it doesn't matter who does it

Absolutely! That's precisely why conflating Jewish people and Israel is so dangerous.

The critical thing is to constantly challenge people who conflate Jewish identity with the State of Israel, so please stop!

It is really curious how Consumer Confidence is something for Economists to discuss but Planned Obsolescence is not!
Is GDP Grossly Distorted Propaganda?
How many billion$ do consumers lo$e on technology built to NOT last?
What is NDP, Net Domestic Product?

Doesn't profit from Planned Obsolescence mean losses due to Depreciation on the part of consumers?
But then Economists do not put the Depreciation of Durable Consumer Goods into the NET Domestic Product equation.
How convenient!

The British government may have been tyrannical, but the consitutional position of the English monarchy was established when parliament invited William and Mary to become monarchs in 1689. Hence 'no taxation without representation' - the wealthy in Britain had a vote, rich folk in America didn't

The party is changing rapidly classwise with new members. I'd also point out that Zack's boyfriend, who he never speaks of in anything other than admiration, is a careworker.
To assume that not wanting to do a job is devaluing it, is more than a little middle class.
