And you've figured that out by carefully observing reality, reading a shitton of books and chewing on all this, hilariously enough for a good part in an internet comedy forum but whelp there's literally nowhere else where you can. Technically doing what you're supposed to do. But you can't breathe a word of any of this where anyone of even the slightest import might hear. Literally we're not supposed to use our brains, just regurgitate the same bullshit groupthink or face (potentially severe) consequences. And I don't think you can argue it's cus we're just plebs or cogs in the machine or whatever. I don't think anyone at any level in the machine is allowed to use their brain and have any original thoughts at all that deviate from the important mandatory conclusions. I'm sure it's that cybernetic capitalism at work again but goddamn it's quite a thing how fundamentally anti-human it all is.

most people won't come to that conclusion unless apocalyptically bad things happen that shake the existing order loose. 19th century whites were socialism curious because unfettered capitalism sucked rear end with very little trinkets for the average bloke in the west. Post WW2 is when the big project of giving people blue jeans and bananas started so they would identify with their somewhat privileged status in an extractive pyramid.
y'all will never come to any real answer until you understand the role of the renaissance in desacralizing the world and making man the measure of all things. it's only after you've ruined the basis of your civilization that you can come to so profoundly misunderstand every other civilization.

I know this is 6 pages ago (drat this thread moves fast) but I just wanted to point out that in the past 10 years there's been a Yiddish resurgence, thanks in part to a fantastic musician named Daniel Kahn who's taken old 100+ year old Yiddish songs (quite a number of them antizionist) and modernized them:

Thank you for posting this - I couldn’t remember whether it had been posted earlier, or not at all.

As for Joe Biden being upset with Netanyahu - the United States has bankrolled the Israeli armed forces for decades, with Biden as a significant cheerleader and facilitator. Up until, say, October 6, most people believed all that money created one of the better fighting forces around.

Come to find out that the IDF is - factoring in return on investment and the complete inequality of the resources of the opponent - pound for pound, dollar for dollar, and man for man the worst military in the history of the world.

Both the US and Israel would have done better if they had used that money as defense - as in, literally stacking dollar bills in columns to form a ten-foot thick barrier at the border.

Wouldn’t you be upset?

The GDR was amazing because of the Stasi. The entire place would have been like 70s Italy with attacks constantly terrorising the people without the ability to defend themselves from Western intelligence agencies and their Neo-Nazi cut-outs.

Hundreds of stores, businesses, and firms shut nationwide in plea for Oct. 7 hostages
By SHARON WROBEL
14 January 2024, 4:11 pm 4

Hundreds of shops, restaurants and businesses on Sunday came to a standstill across the country during a 100-minute labor strike to commemorate the 100th day since the abduction of hostages by the Hamas terror group on October 7.

Employers and employees in Israel, including in universities and retail chains, halted all of their operations starting at 11 a.m. for 100 minutes. Arnon Bar-David, chairman of the Histadrut labor union, agreed to a request by the families of the hostages to hold a 100-minute labor strike to broadcast their message demanding the return of their loved ones.

Among tech firms and large businesses that took part in the solidarity act were Israeli online gaming giant Playtika, Teva Pharmaceuticals, the Aviv real estate and construction group, Israeli investment house Altshuler Shaham, and leading law firms across the country. The Israel Bar Association and The Teachers Association also joined the effort.

Retail and food chains at Israel’s main shopping malls, including Fox, Fox Home, Foot Locker, Laline, Mango, American Eagle, Flying Tiger, Nike, Cafe Cafe, and McDonald’s, closed their doors for 100 minutes and engaged in solidarity and support ceremonies.


“We haven’t seen this before — that commercial businesses shut down in such a magnitude — but we feel that this is the time for us to show social responsibility and do everything we can to put pressure on the government to bring back the hostages,” BIG Shopping Center CEO Hay Galis told The Times of Israel on the sidelines of a ceremony held outside the Yehud BIG Shopping Center during the 100-minute shutdown. All of the 24 BIG malls across the country halted their operations.

With canopy tents set up for the ceremony during rainy weather and yellow balloons in abundance, family members of current and former hostages as well as BIG shopping Centers management representatives and employees gathered to show their support wearing yellow shirts that read: “100 days without them, bring them home now.”

Family members of the hostages and the malls’ chairman addressing the gathering warned that time was running out to save the hostages, and expressed disappointment with the government, while emphasizing that the unity of the people as the whole nation was coming together in this difficult time was giving them hope.

War erupted between Israel and Hamas on October 7, when thousands of terrorists burst across the border into southern Israel from the Gaza Strip by land, air and sea, killing some 1,200 people and seizing over 240 hostages of all ages — mostly civilians.

“To the Knesset and a government that brought this upon us – you have failed! And in particular you have failed in bringing back the hostages,” said Eitan Bar Zeev, chairman of BIG Shopping Center. “I have lost faith in you. Disconnected government.”

Speaking at the ceremony was Yoni Asher, whose wife and two young daughters were released after being held as hostages by Hamas terrorists in Gaza for 49 days.

“Without bringing back the hostages there will be no trust and without trust there will be no state and no government,” said Asher. “The people are already united; it is the government that is lagging behind. Everyone knows that the priority is to bring the hostages back home now.”

Also speaking at the ceremony was Shahar Ohel, the cousin of Alon Ohel, 22, a budding pianist who was abducted by Hamas terrorists from a crowded shelter in a field on October 7.

“Keeping up the spirits is so important right now. Everyone is breaking down; even the strongest break down, but they also know how to get up again and this is what we need to do right now,” said Ohel. “We need to stay strong and meet our goals to build a better nation for the period after the war.”

Ohel’s family started a project that began with bringing a yellow piano to the Hostages Plaza in Tel Aviv, representing the hope that he will return. Visitors are invited to play the piano and send love and strength. Additional yellow pianos will soon be placed in at least four BIG Shopping Centers, including in Yehud.

Among other retail chains that joined the effort are H&M, Kravitz, Ronen Chen clothing, Lee Cooper, Nine West, Jack Cuba, Opticana, Optica Halperin, Mega Sport, Intima, Golf & Co, Kitan, Steimatzky, and Adika.
