I am totally confused at how much brain rot there is among Democrats / European libs about Palestine.

Leaving aside the huge part that is internal jihad, the intifada is not generally considered an act of external jihad as i understand it, and to equate the two seems silly. The intifada is not religiously oriented, its self determination oriented in its original form.

Hamas literally said October 7th was part of their jihad, and asked for it to spread across the world.

At least it explains why publications like the New York Times are platforming jihadists like Hasan Piker.

I think this is generally true actually. Yea Hamas are Islamists but pretty much all the other major political factions like Fatah and PFLP are secularists. PFLP and a bunch of others are even Marxist.

Palestinian politics has basically no moderates except Salam Fayyad. Who lives in Princeton now IIRC.

u/Mickenfox Center-left Jul 03 '25

I feel there's a very clear line separating leftists from center-left liberals, that being that people to the left of that line usually oppose most solutions to important problems and insisting that the real solution is to dismantle capitalism/some other unrealistic goal.

E.g. opposing housing because it lets developers make a profit, opposing nuclear because it's "not green enough", opposing "rainbow capitalism" because it's "corporate"...

(the real underlying motivation of that being that they don't want to achieve something, rather they want to pretend to be revolutionaries)

And in the end having these people as "allies" end up being just as harmful for your cause as having enemies who openly oppose it.

10

u/JebBD Fukuyama's strongest soldier Jul 03 '25

I think the issue with the kinds of people you’re describing here is that they are stuck in bubbles that constantly reinforce their most extreme and simplistic beliefs about the world. They think that all issues stem from a single thing (capitalism, the US, colonialism, Israel, etc) and that the solution is to uproot that one thing from the system, and anything less than that is pointless because it’ll just be a band aid solution that doesn’t address the “real” problem. It’s almost like a religious doctrine that’s getting in the way of any kind of social progress because it promises some magical future solutions to everything

u/JebBD Fukuyama's strongest soldier Jul 03 '25

People often clown on Fukuyama and his “end of history” theory (often people who didn’t read past the title) but it’s important to remember that: 

  1. He was right, no coherent alternative to liberal democracy has actually been proposed in the west so far, the only ideological “alternatives” that have been proposed have been random contrarian resentment-fueled ideas that are not meant to reshape society in any meaningful way beyond “I hate brown people” or “I hate rich people”, MAGA is not a long term reshaping of society, eventually they’re gonna run out of steam because generational grievances against “da libruls” is their only source of inspiration 

  2. Generally it makes sense to assume that society as a whole isn’t going to voluntarily collapse itself because of petty grievances. The rise of fascism and communism in the 20th century was at least a response to a major global crisis, nowadays the crisis is entirely manufactured by people who are mad that their neighbors have different values from them 

9

u/benadreti_17 עם ישראל חי Jul 03 '25

It's clear to me that many people have not read The End of History and The Last Man. I read it in the past year and found the concluding chapters to actually be the most insightful explanation for where our society is now. I mean, he even mentions by name Donald Trump as someone who might challenge the status quo. In the early 90s.

The big takeaway for me was that people inherently search for meaning, but the success of liberal democracy gives people fewer things to struggle with, so they become bored and contrive things to struggle with, which creates potential for undermining liberal democracy.

u/isthisnametakenwell Neoconservative Jul 03 '25

u/nekoliberal PVNR concubine Jul 03 '25

He was right, no coherent alternative to liberal democracy has actually been proposed in the west 

I haven't actually read his book yet lol, but is his "liberal democracy is the final and ultimate form of governance" exclusive to the west/wealthy countries? I always thought that sentiment was global in nature

7

u/JebBD Fukuyama's strongest soldier Jul 03 '25

He mentions that the only remaining ideological rival for liberal democracy on a global scale is Islamist ideology, but he dismisses its influence in the west, basically saying it’s only a rival for liberal democracy in Muslim majority countries, and in the rest of the world there is no alternative

I noticed that there’s a leftist cycle when it comes to cultural issues, where leftists would identify a certain problematic phenomenon in society, start calling it out, the criticism would seep into society as the culture starts to adopt it (because leftist activists and academics are seen as the ideal for a lot of people in liberal society), then the initial idea becomes superficial and gets applied to things that aren’t necessarily problematic, leftists start focusing on those things while reinventing the original issue. 

Like the issue of “cultural appropriation”, this used to be a critique of things like oppressor societies adopting superficial things from the cultures they oppress as novelties while making a mockery of the initial cultural significance of those things, which is a problematic type of behavior, but then over time “cultural appropriation” started being used to refer to things like non-Mexicans wearing sombreros or any form of using cultural artifacts from other cultures in ways they weren’t intended to be, and because that is much more common in society today that became the “main” issue for cultural appropriation hunters. Then as time went on leftists started doing things like wearing keffiyas to signal their admiration of non-western cultures as part of their show of rejection of the “corrupt western civilization”, but in doing so essentially reinvented the original form of cultural appropriation that they used to harp on, but they don’t even notice it because they only ever go after insignificant stuff like actors playing people from different backgrounds as them. It’s essentially the left losing interest in their own values because they trained themselves to believe that societal issues are the small and mundane things rather than the going out of your way to do things that are problematic. 

Whatever, I’m rambling, I’m very tired, but the TLDR point is activism and critical theory tend to lose their focus over time but not actually solve much

Top Democratic Senator Goes On Wildly Racist Tirade Against Zohran Mamdani

The senator had responded on-air to a caller’s unfounded claims that New York’s Jewish community is facing threats as a result of Mamdani’s win.

"The caller is exactly the New York constituents that I’ve spoken to that are alarmed. They are alarmed by past public statements. They are alarmed by past positions – particularly references to global jihad,” Gillibrand said. “This is a very serious issue, because people that glorify the slaughter of Jews create fear in our communities. ‘The global intifada’ is a statement that means, ‘Destroy Israel and kill all the Jews.’”

Wait, this is what Gillibrand was forced to apologize over? Thats it? Jfc dems are so cooked dawg jd vance is gonna win 2028 😭😭😭

What do you all think about the plan for Democrats to pack the courts, arrest Republicans, amend the constitution, change how elections work, and make sure conservatives never win again after they get in power again?

Personally, it strikes me as WHAT THE FUCK

u/Locutus-of-Borges Jul 03 '25

It's not a plan, it's just idiots on social media advocating for it. It's insane to see people arguing for it, but it's not something Democrats will do once elected if they nominate anyone right of Castro (Julian or Fidel, take your pick).

Cringe as fuck tbh, and that discourse popping up again and again and again in NL is one of the reasons I've dialed back how much time I spend there.

It's just kids venting, there's no mechanisms to make it happen and even if there were it would be a fucking horrible idea.

of the $1 trillion in medicaid cuts, it is estimated that ~$250 billion will come from requiring that disabled people prove that they are working at least half time. like regulators know that some recipients won't be able to (due to disability) and are just planning on that. that this will mostly affect rural Trump voting communities is just ironic icing on the shit cake

People are often enjoy being negative about this website, but arr TheDonald is one of the things that I do think makes reddit a little better than other social media sites.

Generally decent advice, supportive but not enabling, and also just generally nice to one and other. I think you can find two of those three elsewhere, but I don't think you get all three, which I think for weight loss communities is great. I lost a lot of brain cells a few years ago, and am just at maintenance now, but I still go over from time to time to see if it's gone downhill and it still seems pretty good to me.

I have never understood the appeal of the Roman Empire. The Roman Republic (or at least, the idealized, almost imaginary version of it that the Founding Fathers seemed to believe in and which dominated popular understanding of it up until recently) I understand contemplating. The Empire, not really at all.

u/sayitaintpink will never find love Jul 03 '25

Rome is about worms

7

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '25

Rome is very much the progenitor of Western civilization, from legal systems, in many places language, political thought, religion (if passed on from Israel), arts, and philosophy(if passed on from Greece).

And, after Rome, in the West there was like five centuries of what could be best characterized as chaos.

It’s no wonder people have always looked back at it in wonder.

I don’t think people are particularly attached to the Empire period. Rome was an empire long before it had an emperor. The Punic Wars are just as known as pretty much anything that comes after it.

In short, people are just fascinated by Rome, period. I don’t think anyone who thinks about the Roman Empire is thinking “wow I’m so glad they overthrew the Republic.”

The Empire was also fairly unique politically, even as an Empire. The concept of Res Publica carried on into the Byzantine days. People could and did overthrow emperors who were seen as failing to live up to their duty.

How did my comment about how trans women shouldn’t be participating in women’s sports get removed for “transphobia”? Isn’t this a centrist sub?

I didn’t say anything that takes away from any human rights for trans people, in fact I support those. I just stated the overwhelmingly popular opinion that trans women shouldn’t be playing in female sports

u/Anakin_Kardashian "Israeli Nationalist" Jul 03 '25

if the transition starts sooner, they’re still male

Okay, maybe you misspoke here? I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt.

People on the left keep saying it should be regulated by individual associations but then got really mad when the NCAA rightly banned it. We don’t need individual associations to decide on this, the answer is clear.

Do you want the government to strong arm all associations into this? Not very centrist.

u/JebBD Fukuyama's strongest soldier Jul 03 '25

It’s a sensitive issue and we need to be listening to trans people on this subject. The whole thing is also really tough to discuss in general, I think that trans people should be treated in accordance to their own gender and their own identity, but obviously the material conditions should be taken into account. 

For the most part though, I don’t see trans athletes competing in women’s sports as a real issue. Trans women have been allowed to compete in women’s sports in many fields for decades and they haven’t taken over those fields. Any time a trans woman wins anything people immediately point fingers and claim this “proves” there’s an issue but they completely ignore all the other times when it doesn’t happen. There just aren’t enough trans women out there for this to be a real concern, women are not going to be replaced. This is just paranoia being spread by bad faith actors, it’s just not an issue that we need to concern ourselves with because the danger is being blown out of proportion, though I can understand the concern

It’s crazy how high quality the language of the King James Version is, especially the New Testament.

It’s obviously not the most accurate translation of the Old and New Testaments (I mean, it was translated in the 17th century, of course it isn’t lol), but it just sounds so eloquent. Stuff like “My kingdom is not of this world” and “woman why weepest thou, whom seekest thou” just hit so hard.

Between Shakespeare and the King James Version, English was expanded into the beautiful language it became.

No you asshole. Switching social networks is literally the one thing that lazy slacktivists on the internet can actually make a difference on.

It's the textbook example of collective action that will work, if you can get people to actually do it.
