You don’t even know what capitalism is. I may as well read Stefan Molyneux’s Art of the Argument.

(It’s apposite because he wrote a whole book on something he knows nothing about 😉)

This in no way addresses what I said. You are only repeating yourself.

If you see any of them, call them out. You would be aware there are plenty of people using antisemitism to run interference for Israel’s crimes. If you raise it to people who aren’t doing that, people are going to get defensive.

A number of them have left. Which is interesting because it wasn’t because their homes were bombed out or they were in any significant danger. As I’ve said, I don’t blame them for leaving. It isn’t their country.

Well you should complain to Israel’s leaders and apologists because they’ve worked for the entirety of Israel’s existence to create the conflation. Otherwise, in the current climate, if someone says they’re anti-Zionist, you ought to give them the benefit of the doubt absent other evidence.

For example, China has apparently been backing militias in Myanmar and relations are strained. Trust might be an issue which needs overcoming.

My understanding is that they are doing so in some African countries. Possibly one problem is setting up the logistics network, which cannot be done overnight.

Some people do that too.

I believe it turns out she’d be more expensive than most actors (which tracks). More desperate VC’s lurching around for a use case.

She’s going to complain about Fosters going woke. Forgetting that no-one in Australia drinks it.

Yes, Price, we know all you can do is copy and paste from the American right playbook. You’re a one-trick pony like that.

I bet they fought kicking and screaming not to be sent to Portland, Chicago, etc, etc. Had to drag them out of the barracks. Left their nails in the floor.

My wife and I have an idiom, "job-ending fall" like, 'push that chair in, we don't want a job-ending fall'. It came from a work safety officer who told my wife and her colleagues that people in Australia (which has good healthcare) can lose everything because of one fall.

‘Warfighter’ sounds so childish. Like something you’d name a line of knockoff GI Joe dolls for sale in a dollar store.

I’m also on block lists for being a wannabe comic whose jokes suck. And, hey, no contest.

I’m on a list or two for criticising Ukraine (I don’t talk about Ukraine) and for hashtag spamming (don’t do that either). Looks like some people are weaponising the block system in an attempt to get others to block someone who really annoyed them.

A letter to those who taught me my Jewishness, and who now sit on the other side of a deep chasm.

When you first heard me speak against this genocide, you heard my words as betrayal. But they were meant as love

Not speaking would go against everything I was taught to honour: the righteous among the nations – those who refused to be bystanders to injustice
