We should change it to Roundball Rock. After the revolution.

I should also have looked up Khabib's last name and I meant to do it but I forgot I even talked about him, I'm gonna look it up and fix that if I gotta, yeah of course I gotta. I'm pretty good with spelling but I wasn't gonna get that one in one go.

tldr describing AIPAC as controlling Congress isn't antisemitic, it's a description that isn't out of step with others, and which corresponds both with AIPAC's donations and memos as well as Congressional acquiescence. It's not uncommon to describe influence as control.

The attempts to call communism "red fascism" and similar are much more destructive to our understanding of fascism as a phenomenon than people just going "you're being a fascist" to their boss or whatever. To say that sharing and cooperation are evil, etc. And to even accept fascists in history.

To me it always seemed that the bar for whether you "could" call something fascist or not was one of degree. If it "wasn't that bad" you shouldn't call it fascist. That's the part I disagree about. It's not about degree but accuracy.

People used to argue that it wasn't good to call things fascist "just because you don't like them" because it would trivialize being called fascist. I don't necessarily agree with that. But I do think such charges can be trivialized, and it's when the charges are misused.

But it's not unique to these types who are unknowing. This is basically what Israel has been doing itself by accusing people of being antisemitic by doing things like reporting on the genocide in Palestine. It's just interesting where it pops up.

It creates a weird situation where you can substantively describe the ways AIPAC is actually manipulating Congress but you aren't allowed to say that they actually have any control, once you introduce the word "control" then it becomes an issue. I think that trivializes the accusation.

By looking at someone who criticizes AIPAC for the behaviors we've all witnessed and automatically conflating that with antisemitism, what you're doing is the same thing Israel does: any criticism of Israel/AIPAC is antisemitic, because it can be compared with some trope in the past.

People would describe the oil lobby as owning Congress or the tech lobby as owning Congress. There is actually precedent for saying that a particular lobby controls the government. Now, I acknowledge that there are also antisemitic tropes which say the Jews control the world, but that's what I mean.

Listen. Over the many years I have been on the internet, people like you are never right. I know you think this is going to show that I'm being unreasonable but you are being very stupid. I didn't make you misread or get loud.

The point is not that there exists a ton of Americans who hate Jeremy Corbyn, I am stating the opposite of that.

Firstly, if you were less loud you would look like such an idiot when you get corrected. Secondly, the point is that as outsiders, American leftists are likely to hate UK rightists more than anyone like Corbyn, but Badenoch has so little juice that the Corbyn-hating left Americans outnumber B haters

I expect you were mystified by connect the dots pictures as a child. Forever missing the point.

you're going to war jail
