Those are just words. You have the ability to do something about changing your country, instead you spend the day posting about Israel.

Except for that one irrelevant middle eastern country of 9 million people.

I don't see myself as a victim of Israel. I don't see myself as a victim of any group. I can be dissatisfied with things but I don't see the value in blaming my problems on any country or large group. If I want to see change, I try and make that happen myself.

Frankly the Catholic Church concerns me more than Israel. It's that Catholics that fund and facilitate the migrant caravans, they move and settle them when they cross the border, they advocate against deportations, a Catholic is responsible for our 1965 immigration law that opened us up to legal immigration from the third world.

I still don't think of the Catholic Church as my oppressor though. I reject that way of thinking.

And yet, he was violently assassinated because he was a white, Christian male. They literally hate us, and we’re rapidly becoming a minority in a country that OUR ancestors established.
It’s not victimhood to notice that there are more black on white crime, television propaganda and discrimination in hidings/college admissions against our European descended brethren, than the other way around.
It’s reality. Accept it.

---

He was right about personal responsibility though and the dangers of going through life viewing yourself as a victim.

Pointing out problems is great. Believing that you aren't going to be allowed to fix them is terrible.

You want to stop crime, you can elect politicians to stop crime.
You want to stop illegal immigration, you can elect pols to stop it.
You want to fix college admissions, you can elect pols to fix it.

Victimhood ideology says that you have no agency, no way to fix your problems... something I think most of you believe. That ideology has never worked, never created anything of worth and will only lead to pain.

quote:

---

No, no, no. You see, when “whites” want to play the identity politics game, people like you want to dismiss it as victimhood while other races can group together with no pushback.

---

I'll explain my position clearer.

Most black people are taught to see themselves as victims and therefore not responsible for their own personal actions. They are oppressed by another group of people. Their politics are dominated by this ideology. Their "leaders' like Jesse Jackson, keep them angry and in search of revenge. This ideology obviously hasn't worked out well the last 60 or so years.

Some people on the "right" are now seeing that model and thinking "we whites should follow suit, we're also victims who shouldn't be personally accountable"... Those people are currently in search of oppressors and are preaching anger and resentment rather than guiding people towards personal responsibility.

So where do you think that ideology will lead those angry whites? Probably to the same place it leads every other group of people.

Charlie Kirk was the largest voice among young people guiding them away from oppressor/oppressed ideologies but after his death that void is being filled by people who will lead us to destruction. Charlie said to follow God, start a family, go to work..... his voice is missed.

Also, the ones you label as “always online” are literally 95% of Gen Z. That’s the world we live in.

---

I'm aware, which is why I think the woke right won't be stopped.

quote:

---

Claiming Israel is a perpetual victim and surrounded by hostile neighbors is EXACTLY why many on the Christian Right support Israel.

---

Which has nothing to do with an abandonment of personal responsibility and an embrace of oppressor/oppressed ideology. That ideology has zero to do with whether we support foreign nations or which foreign nations we should support. It's a personal ideology that drives people towards anger, bitterness and a desire for revenge.

In other words Ted Cruz doesn't support Israel because Ted Cruz thinks that Ted Cruz is a victim of an invisible hand.

Mamdani supporters want revenge because they see themselves as oppressed.

quote:

---

You will get what you give with me!

---

I doubt it.

quote:

---

And that is exactly what informs much of the Right’s support for Israel.

---

No it's not. Oppressor/oppressed ideology is what informs the black community's worldview. It's where people land after abandoning personal responsibility.

You've just made up some weird connection that makes no sense.

Further, Israel is mostly surrounded by enemies, denying that is denying reality.

quote:

---

with a deadly ruthless military

---

Because of our support.

We support them because they share common values in a region that doesn't share our values and we support them so that when they are attacked by those enemies, we don't have to put boots on the ground.

quote:

---

Why should taxpayers in the United States be expected to subsidize Israel’s existence into perpetuity?

---

Because you keep electing people who want to support Israel but your denial of personal responsibility leads you to believe that those people are actually good and then "compromised" by Israel. Maybe just do a better job electing good representation.

quote:

---

I don’t like Fuentes. I think he’s childish and I think he’s incredibly nasty. But I won’t be surprised if his popularity continues to grow because Ted Cruz thinks everyone is retarded and can be threatened into becoming zionists.

---

I don't think his popularity growing has anything to do with a backlash to people like Ted Cruz throwing around antisemitism claims. There aren't many people paying attention to either Fuentes or Cruz.

The trend on the right is towards an oppressor/oppressed ideology. The leaders of that ideology are irrelevant, the ideology will grow as people abandon personal responsibility.

quote:

---

no amount of released files will satisfy the people obsessed with this case

---

This is true. So many people want the files released because they are convinced of one or more conspiracies. When those conspiracies aren't confirmed, they'll just claim that more files need to be released or that the files aren't the real files.

There have been plenty of reports, some even using FBI sources detailing his online presence/footprint. I don't know that anyone was claiming he had no footprint.

Around that time, records obtained by CBS News show he started using encryption services that masked some of his internet use, mixing those with more typical visits to sites like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X.

An analysis by CBS News of Crooks' internet routines shows he developed an increasing interest in news, explosives and ammo, and secrecy. The records include nearly a year of Crooks' activity on his college's wireless internet network. They show hundreds of visits to websites ranging from his academic email account and discussion boards, to his bank, news sites, gaming platforms, social media, weapons blogs and Steelers fan sites.

On some days, he left little trace of his activity, choosing instead to first turn on Mullvad. Virtual private networks, known as VPNs, route a user's web traffic through encrypted tunnels, hiding their activity from prying eyes, such as a college's web tracking security software. While Crooks was using Mullvad, his browsing history was effectively sealed off.

During the hearing, Abbate explained to Senators that the FBI discovered two different social media accounts that they believe may belong to Crooks. According to Abbate, one account shared "antisemitic" topics and thoughts, but a second account on the platform Gab, shared "differing points of view."
