  • Sounds like it’s time to establish a viable third party. Obviously, that is easier said than done, and many would consider it impossible. But left-wing sentiments continue to grow in popularity and we must not resign ourselves to a fate without challenging it!

    It’s crazy to think about what a viable third party would look like, and how it would get off the ground. It’s tragic and says a lot about the world we live in that the only way I see it happening is through virality — memes and influencers — but then, how is this campaign funded in a way that competes with the corpo vaults, and how do you get the right people onboard?

    For me, it was hiking to a waterfall in Costa Rica with no food and only one bottle of water. THANK FUCK it rained; we would have been in trouble if I couldn’t have had sips of water from the leaves to stay hydrated, and if the temperature had stayed as high as it was.

    Yeah, totally. That doesn’t mean we can’t / shouldn’t be aware of past actions and vehemently disavow them, especially now that he’s won! Hopefully, the next anti-establishment politician isn’t a murderer with a Nazi tattoo with intents to bolster the military and incentivize service.

    I understand the historical neo-Nazi ties, but I mean, AIPAC has its fingers in practically every politician. Practically every politician is a Zionist. It follows that the US government is occupied by Zionists, no?

    I also am confused by how the article you linked seemingly equates Zionism with Judaism; haven’t anti-Zionists been putting effort into emphasizing that those two things are not the same? Yes, the neo-Nazis often use ZOG and JOG interchangeably. But the recent adoptees of the term do not.

    I’ve been hung up on this issue specifically for a few weeks. My belief is that the use of this term does not automatically make one an anti-Semite or a neo-Nazi, despite its history. Are you concerned about the rising use of this term radicalizing people into neo-Nazisim?

    Also, as an aside, I feel like there’s some disagreement as to what Zionism means. Zionism is the advocacy for a Jewish colonial state in Palestine; my understanding is that if one supports Israel’s right to exist, they are a Zionist. Do you disagree? Last time I brought this up I got downvoted and my comprehension skills were insulted, but I mean it’s literally the first sentence of the linked article.

    Please try to engage with this comment in good faith.
