Al-Saqr posted:hey guys quick question if a german stole the jewelry of jewish people in europe but killed those jewish people in Aushwitz do the germans get to keep the jewelry or do they have to hand it over to the surviving relatives of the victims. I've checked the first edition of the rules-based international order and it looks like in your case of disputed jewelry the people who get to keep it are .... the Swiss? Welp, those are the rules so that means it's by definition a fair outcome.

The mental whiplash I'm getting from seeing tweets from users with Ukraine flags in their name saying Palestine has no right to defend themselves. Their positions aren't based on evidence or critical thinking. It's purely whatever they absorb through r/worldnews. I ate a 2 week ban for saying Israeli soldiers deserve what they got, and muted for asking how that is hate speech. Ridiculous given the bloodthirsty messages that get posted there about russian soldiers.

The most impressive thing for me is Hamas's media/propaganda ability. Just video over video over pictures of them undeniably winning against Israel. Tho in part it's also because it's purely urban fighting, while in Ukraine I imagine it's just walking over empty fields.

KomradeX posted:Once you see the light of materialism you can't understand the world of liberalism anymore The strangest thing to me about the liberal response to Ukraine is that even though we are inundated with capitalist messages about how everyone is a rational actor acting in their own self interest we just… aren’t allowed to consider that about designated bad guys. It isn’t enough for Putin or Xi or whoever to be opposed to our aims. They have to be insane creatures of pure evil whose actions are completely unmoored from material reality.

KomradeX posted:Once you see the light of materialism you can't understand the world of liberalism anymore I can understand it just fine, even if I could never actually look at things in that way myself. But it's definitely a barrier that goes in the other direction, where liberals (or pretty much anyone with mainstream political views) are genuinely incapable of comprehending any other way of looking at the world. I think it's primarily a media thing. People raised to believe that "you get your info about Things from the media." Liberals are a little bit worse about this, but conservatives also choose whatever media or talking heads they prefer and get their info from them. The "trick" to it in America (and probably some other countries as well like the UK) is that there's some minor variation in opinions displayed in our media (usually on a partisan basis). So people truly think that all legitimate/serious views are being presented, and anything outside of that is inherently not worth taking seriously. The justification for this (when it exists) is something along the lines of "just like any other complex field, we rely on experts to know things and make decisions." The idea of someone forming opinions about a topic like politics without getting them from experts on TV or in newspapers is viewed as absurd for the same reason as someone forming opinions about medicine from a source other than medical professionals. To use a topic like Ukraine as an example, the idea that Ukraine might not be the "good guys" (or that supporting them in the war might be a bad idea) is inherently absurd, because that viewpoint is not expressed in the media they watch/read. They can't explain to you why this is, but they don't need to - other people (who they are certain know far more than they do) have already studied the subject and came to those conclusions. It's similar with stuff like the Uyghur genocide - they can't explain to you why it's true, but the fact that no one in serious news media was questioning it is evidence enough. Just like with a topic like medicine, they just assume that there must be a lot of "expertise" going on behind closed doors.
