It’s antisemitic to make Israelis look bad by highlighting what they say to each other.
You are only allowed to hear official, sanitised responses from English speaking israelis.
Agreed, I think if we translate more of these we are in for a bad time.
<Seattle goes up in smoke because foreigners don’t understand the difference between Washington state and Washington DC>
<Trump starts selling gold-plated Space Needle statues with his head on top>
Foreigners know the difference. It’s Americans who are dumb. I can’t tell you how many Americans think New Mexico is not a state.
There’s a tweet going around a little while ago about an American who didn’t know that Rome was in Italy. Apparently there’s a Rome in the US and she only knew about that one.
Do American schools teach their kids literally anything at all? How can you not know where Rome is.
Lol, I think I remember a trivia question where texas had more foreign states in it than the ussr. Americans get off on naming cities/areas after foreign nations.
Pff, yeah right, and New Amsterdam isn’t in Europe.
I wish this wasn’t true. My teen thought this for a few minutes and I had to correct her. I thought she was gaslighting me at first.
I mean, you wouldn’t be too far off. There’s an Air Force base about 20-30 minutes from my house. I imagine it would be a military target if a war was ever waged stateside.
There are several high-value sites in the state, and I-5 is an obvious target just generally. JBLM, Whidbey Island Station, Everett Naval, and major power infrastructure like Hanford or Grand Coulee.
Also Bangor (now Kitsap) for the nuclear sub fleet and such.
There’s an AFB or navy base by a lot of bigger cities. The army takes their crazy off into a corner of a state though, so they can play in the field alone.
I guarantee that a random Italian living in a tiny nowhere village knows more about the US than your average US citizen knows about Italy. I don’t know a single person who doesn’t know the difference between Washington state and Washington the city.
I have however spoken to Americans who couldn’t point to the United States on an atlas.
To be fair if we’re talking geographically, it’d be more fair to compare knowledge of the US to knowledge of the whole of Europe.
If we’re talking about history it’s a bit different.
Timmy has fairies, he doesn’t need god
Akschually, Da Rules state t
It annoys me that it actually is canon that the fairies are angels. Fundies can’t help but steal everything.
The creator is a fundie
Yes, and as in fundie tradition he stole parts of other myths and forced it to fit his own beliefs.
Right, the way it was worded kinda sounded like you thought the show had been taken over by a fundie to shoehorn in that they’re angels.
Sometimes I wish this would happen so that the USA would 180 and invade Israel instead, but like the USS Liberty is evidence that the opposite would happen and the government would just cover it up and send Israel another billion dollars
We’d do like that guy who dick cheney shot in the face, and apologize to the Israelis that they bombed us.

Huh ? Last I looked Mango the Hutt was doing everything an Israeli could want ? How has he upset the genociders ?
He told Israel to stop bombing Iran >:(
He also didn’t wipe Iran off the map like Miriam Adelson and Netanyahu wanted.
This concludes the extent of his negotiating skills.
Israel is like a cat pushing things off a table. They maintain firm eye contact while committing war crimes, just to demonstrate how little respect they have for their supposed allies. Of course Trump can’t see that is their game because he has the IQ of a watermelon.
Plants have demonstrated sentience/self awareness.
Ahh. Missed that. Thanks.
Tomorrow: rains of fish
does “national honour” justify starving tens of thousands of children and civilians?
Of course. That is how nationalism works.
Nationalism isn’t something evil inherently, I like to remind of the “singing revolution”, a peaceful separatists movements of the baltic states to split ties with the soviet occupying force:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_WayBut it can very quickly turn into something evil if utilized by powerhungry regimes
Nationalism as a political ideology and nationalism as advocacy for independence of people sharing national identity that isn’t broadly recognized as official nation are two different things sharing the same name. Nationalism as political ideology is inherently evil, as it puts interests of an artifical construct above interests of people, with specific attention put to ingroup and outgroup dynamics. Separatists movements aren’t inherently evil, with the desire of liberation being usually something everyone can stand behind, but if those movements co-opt the nationalist ideology, then they may be classified as evil in my book. Or evil-er. There are no perfect victims and such.
I feel like it’s a meaningful distinction to make.
I disagree with this argument solely for the fact that nationalism as a FUNCTION arises out of a desire to form a cohesive cultural identity that can be defined and can ostensibly provide context for people’s place in a society; something that occurs across the scale of human settlements, but which in our current age manifests primarily in association to a nation-state. I think the point you’re trying to make is that nationalism as an IDEOLOGY is weak and highly prone to exploitation, leading to its broad application by people with evil intentions.
Also, a reminder that the Confederacy was definitively a separatist movement.
Nationalism as a function, to use your terms, doesn’t have to specifically be a result of a desire for cultural identity. It might, but when speaking of it as a function it has a narrower meaning and doesn’t have to carry additional baggage like that, though it may often imply it. When speaking of nationalism as ideology, it definitely fits my definition of evil, by putting artifical values above the wellbeing of people, which nationalism does by definition. Following that logic, nationalism as function isn’t necessarily evil (though it may be if you flavor it with racism or such, like Confederation did), while nationalism as ideology necessarily is. I’m not sure what specifically you were disagreeing with, so I hope I made my point clearer.
Nationalism vs Patriotism
Nationalism - identification with one’s own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations.
Patriotism - the quality of being patriotic; devotion to and vigorous support for one’s country.
Zionists are blood thirsty monsters that should be stopped by the world. Stomp their ideology out.
When I saw the news about the impeachment vote, I had the thought “what if they don’t want to replace him just yet because they assume Iran will assassinate him and he’ll be gone?”
This just adds to that idea.
Zionists don’t care about lives besides their own. I find it so ironic how the US calls itself the land of the free yet sides with genociders. you would’ve thought that after the USS Liberty incident the US would’ve had second thoughts about being allied with Israel
Is this Amichai Shilo someone important? I don’t recognize the name
Plrase let that happen!
And it would be the most symbolic if it was a shit bomb under trump’s chair.
Should have been one at the GOP convention.
Figures there’d be a blue check.
