re: Again its sad to see how this board is so easily manipulated.

Adding...my biggest concern in all of this is that people are going against a group of 20m max worldwide, while supporting the stance of billions that are also our enemies. People are being used, and that is going to end up hurting us.

I can't disagree with any of what you posted. I'm not arguing for leeway.
I'm responding to the post that stated the Jews aren't God's chosen people.

I know you are. But I've read enough on here to know what people say about that, so just trying to describe my opinion on how we balance the difference between the people and the govt.

Again it is sad to see how many on this board see anyone criticize the Israeli government and then immediately call that person antisemitic

My only question is where was this rationality during the protests of the Israeli military action after October 7?

I made this point countless times to NPCs calling anti-Israeli protesters "antisemitic"

That vid is not too bad, but the vitriol for boomers is a little over the top and seems to be catering to something, maybe disenchanted young people. Tuck is somewhat moving into Art Bell territory on a few things, though.

The MAGA/AF civil war over a certain country is very interesting and I really cannot tell how much is manufactured v. organic.

Them doing that makes people who hate the NYTimes, and they should, side with him. So what they’re doing works.

It's a bit of both. Some of it is just your typical BS online content of the out-group (which has created a HILARIOUS flip on that Israel v/ antisemite stuff that I pointed out above).

The stupid Evangelical types who promoted this heresy about the Christian-biblical support of Israel predates Trump, goes back at least to the GWB era during the WOT. Those Evangelicals were hardcore neocons and their soulless church leaders knew how to sell the anti-Muslim conservatism that was rampant.

Some of it is the bad stuff from the right that people pretend doesn't exist and/or claim are just feds once its exposed. Your "blood and soil" and the "Holocaust didn't happen...er...wasn't quite as bad" stuff.

The root cause of the problem is this country is going broke and we are fighting for scraps to maintain previous standards of living. This takes many forms. We see it on the right currently in the form of a neocon MAGA infiltration. They are winning in terms of controlling power and money and kicking out AF people like MTG and Massie who just want to keep American treasure domestic. It seems like the country is trending to a fiscal situation where we will be begging for foreign aid from other countries instead of the other way around.

Yep. I agree. The internet has always had tabloid types of journalists, but now it's an extravaganza.

People don't buy the National Enquirer anymore, they sub to podcasts.
