it's surprisingly easy to forget that israel is a fascist colonial ethnostate

quote:

What we observed during the past several days in Gaza is a mass suicide. There is something especially horrifying about mass suicide; in some ways it shocks us more deeply than the deliberate slaughter of civilians. Hamas had told the world for years that it loves death more than the Jews love life, but the theatrical sacrifice of dozens of its adherents at the Gaza border brings home a horrible truth: the modern world has an ambivalent attitude towards life. We observe the slow-motion suicide of numerous countries, including Iran, in the form of fertility rates so low that they portend depopulation by the end of the present century.

Backward cultures thrust into the modern world have the highest suicide rates ever recorded. The Guardian reported in 2013 that members of Brazil’s Guarani tribe are 34 times more likely to kill themselves than other Brazilians.

The suicide rate among aboriginal Inuit youth in Canada is 11 times higher than the national average. A 2006 study by the US National Institute for Mental Health warned, “Indigenous people around the world have the highest suicide risk of any identifiable cultural (or ethnic) group. It is a youth epidemic.”

Indigenous peoples in the modern world know that their culture has reached its use-by date and despair. The Gaza suicides have the same motivation.

Applying his own logic I think we can consider him suicidal and burn him at a stake as his articles are clearly a desperate call for release of death.

Perhaps the problem is with the modern world and not their cultures (since isolated tribes do more or less fine).

Like, okay, I'd be able to maybe tolerate (not really but still) when somebody speaks of bravery of the soldiers defending the actual Germany within its borders as it was getting rolled over by Soviets and whatnot but on D-day they've been defending land they loving occupied illegally

the article is paywalled so taking the exact temperature of the take is difficult but the author is a loving fascist bootlicker so at best it's "haha just joking but not really"

Defending Germany from the Soviets was 100% bad and they should have all surrendered instead.

Right I'm just saying; if you're looking for a moment in history when you could call any part of the Nazi German army "heroical", D-Day is one of the worst places to look at.

The bottom line here is that bravery isn't a good in itself, and while it might be technically impressive in some sense that doesn't make it worthy of praise. "Heroic" struggle is distinct from mere bravery, in that it implies they were acting towards some kind of good. You're still giving way too much credit to Nazi apologia by entertaining any notion of Nazi heroism.

Well, the dude's Greek, and the Classical Greek hero does not have to be acting towards some kind of good - he merely has to show manly abilities beyond those of regular men.

Greek heroes are also tragic figures who are doomed by their struggles with the capricious nature of the gods. Remember who the Nazis were we’re struggling against?

Frankly, the eliciting anger scene is just too crowded lately. Everyone knows eliciting despair is the real untapped market. Witness:
