That is false.

Zionists and AIPAC have enough money to make sure Trump is the most pro-zionist president ever.

Israel’s escalation and invasion of Lebanon is most likely to make the Democrats more unpopular. It’s not a coincidence that these escalations happened so close to the election. Israel has been wanting to attack Lebanon since at least the spring, and the US had to talk them down. These events just make the Democrats more unpopular and make a Trump presidency more likely. Which would be Israel’s wet dream given how pro-zionist he is.

You’re welcome to post here if you’d like. I don’t think these kinds of discussions are against the community rules. Are you going though one of these moods now? Anything on your mind?

I’m not saying you’re not welcome to post here, but maybe you’ll find more like-minded individuals over at https://hexbear.net/c/neurodiverse? I only just joined the community so I can’t speak to what it’s like though.

I’m not a professional in any sense, but it sounds like you’re having trouble actually processing your emotions and getting the closure you need. Is there anyone in your life you can talk to about what you go through?

I sympathize with that. I’ve been that kind of person for most of my life. It sucks that the internet can be the kind of place where it discourages people to speak comfortably.

For what it’s worth, I think you write very well. Based on these two comments only :).

it seems to me that they and iran just wait for Israel to do something they don’t like and fire missles at them

They don’t wait to do anything. They hate Israel for what Israel has done to their Palestinian neighbors as well as to Lebanon and Iran. Hezbollah didn’t just suddenly spring up out of nowhere. The group was literally founded to halt Israeli aggression. This is the only reason Israel hasn’t occupied Lebanon and oppressed them the way they oppress the Palestinians.

It’s probably easier than you think. I suspect interconnects are consolidated into a handful of buildings.

That’s true for pretty much all countries. Virtually all countries have a few sites that are responsible for routing the majority of the countries Internet traffic. The trick is keeping it that way. It’s very easy to throw in some kind of band-aid solution to get it back up and running if you are able to throw enough resources at the problem.

Yeah sure, you can cut the cables. But like you said, alternate means of accessing the information exist as well. Technology limitations can be very difficult to enforce and maintain due to how quickly it can grow and evolve if people are motivated enough. Which the North Korean government definitely would be.

The internet is not some single entity. It’s a collaboration of all countries all over the world sharing their IP addresses with each other using open standard protocols so that everyone can talk to everyone. To get a single country cut off from the rest of the world would require active participation from every country around the world which is highly unlikely. At most you’d just have some or most countries participating in the ban.

What would happen to North Korea in that case? For the common people, nothing. They are already living with very limited and filtered access. For the government agencies that have full access, they would likely work a deal with a country to get the rest of the internet routed through them.

I completely forgot about that whole incident. I guess in that context it does make sense, I agree. A political tit-for-tat between the 2 parties.

Don’t be so harsh on yourself. This is all informal conversations. You don’t have to hold yourself to such high standards. Your ideas aren’t any less valid because you have trouble articulating them. If someone disagrees or has a problem with what you say then they can just say so and you can clarify.

Pretty fitting username for this post lol.

They make a significant number of voters in critical swing states like Michigan. Biden won certain counties in the 2020 election by a handful of votes. This can make a significant amount of difference in the coming election.

“I know that if I had chosen to end it, it would have started with a call to him. I would have said, ‘You know what, Jagmeet? It’s not going to work.’ You make those tough calls.”

I honestly get why Singh chose to distance himself from Trudeau but I kind of see where Trudeau is coming from to say he should have at least talked to him first. You don’t just quit your job without telling anyone and disappear. Not unless something really bad happened where you feel unsafe to do so or its just such a shitty workplace. I’m not aware of anything like that to have happened between the two. It seemed to be just a split in political priorities.

EDIT: Completely forgot about Trudeau’s forced arbitration of the rail workers strike. I take back what I said above.

Criticizing and condemning Israel is like criticizing and condemning Trump. They just have so little shame and display their crimes so blatantly that it’s just so stupidly simple to call it out.

And America is using that to exert their influence on that region in the world. Sure sounds like a proxy. Just because Israel has more power in American politics compared to Ukraine doesn’t mean they aren’t a proxy.

America has lot’s Lebanese people. They’re just there to visit their families. Lebanon wasn’t an active war zone until Israel decided it was. Thanks to being enabled by America.

It’s not radical to stand up for oppression and genocide. It’s not pointless to hate a group of people who stolen everything from you. The fact that you would label it as such just goes to show how little you actually value human lives and their rights.
