"Jewish settlements are a national value." Isn't that enough of an apartheid for you?

It's literally coded into your legislature. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Law:_Israel_as_the_Nation-State_of_the_Jewish_People The state of Israel is here to advance whatever the jews wanted and views the *jewish settlements as a national value*. Apartheid state is one that seperates people based on race or ethnicity. Here the ethnicity of jews are given more relevance than other ethnicities and their causes are seen as lesser to that of other ethnicities in Israel. I can add plenty of jews who agree with me as well.

The second video you linked is utter trash and riddled with subtle western biases that I couldn't even keep watching it. NATO is not here to provide security for the Baltic states and to protect them from Russian aggression. Lol. You have to relinquish the idea that US/NATO is some sort of global police that comes to heroically save helpless nations from the scary giant evil Russia. Real world is not Hollywood lol. NATO is here to secure their own interests. Which is to create wars to the profits of Lockheed Martin and Boeing. I can comment on more bullshit in the video if you want but I don't see the point. I agree with most of what Mearsheimer asserts. Americans are too myopic to get the point he is making.

That's from your perspective. What's ZERO is the empathy of the Americans or the collective west. They just can never put themselves in the shoes of other nations and see the world from their perspective. NATO is basically controlled by Washington. And Washington is controlled by the military industrial complex which needs endless wars to fatten it's pockets. It's a sick denegerate system and any country is wise to not Trust America and their flimsy promises. NATO itself was created to counter the Soviet Union. So they don't even have a legit purpose to stay alive and was in the process of decay. So as the military industrial complex. They need a new enemy to stay relevant. So the policy to push NATO eastwards started way back in the 90s Clinton Administration. Who do you think persuaded to push NATO expansion? The Military Industrial Complex. Of course. Sell weapons. Spill blood. Billions in profit. Of course their end goal was to get a long lasting war with Russia. You have to be beyond oblivious to not see this especially in the light of all that is happening right now.

Pretty low bar for being considered evolved. I see it in India everyday.

The CIA are even smarter. You can hunt down the "high IQ rich" folks if they want. Only their HQ. Their business still operates in US, EU etc. They still need to move money to HQ Heard that even Dubai started introducing taxes. These havens exist because the government let them. And if the government want to get you, they will. Green countries have policies that you might think are going Nazi on rich people.

They can leave. But they can't transfer their wealth with them. There can be policies to that can't be gamed by packing bags and leaving the country. Although taxing the rich shouldn't be the absolute best priority of any society at the moment. It's only a secondary goal. There are better things to do to bring fairness in business.

Left or right are labels that are applicable to ideas, not individuals. You are correct in the sense we should not be labelling people as leftists or rightists. But we need to categorize ideas and label them. So labels are quite useful in that sense.

Give it a try for yourself and then report back. It is a pain in the ass, and you will not be able to make sense of anything. I am talking from experience. Even proper lawyers struggle to make sense of this. Correct discussions starts from policy.

Lame reasoning. Israel or jews across the entire world does not even have enough people to be considered "popular". Who's popularity are they protecting? BBC released an entire documentary on how democracy is losing grounds in India. They did not care about offending a billion people. CNN reports on the roughly the same grounds. They do not care about popularity at all. Just imagine if US passed a bill giving exclusive rights to whites, and described America as the land of white people and described white settlement as a national value. Will CNN not report that in fear of being unpopular? That is what is happening in Israel. I ought to get this information from the BBC/CNN not from YouTubers with less than 200k subs.

I do not want CNN to say that. That is my conclusion. I totally agree. What I expect CNN to do is factual reporting on what is happening in Israel.

The BBC will rather report that Modi is a fascist rather than Israel being full blown far right racist state that is far worse than what South Africa has once been.

The intensity of your voice matters. What tipped me over was the non mainstream small YouTuber news channels. What happened to mainstream ones like CNN who poise themselves to do factual reporting on global issues. And the BBC? Those small youtuber channels are screaming in the middle of nowhere and CNN is whispering in the crowds.

What is striking is when the US media who throws tantrum on the slightest remark of racism in the US is dead silent of the gross injustices on apartheid state of Israel. Much of the reason I supported Israel initially is because of the void of this information and I judged Israel in good faith.

If that is what you want to do, then bring in your lawyer. Collect all the judgements released by courts. Even some of my lawyer friends struggle to make sense of the legal language and you want to discuss all that on an internet forum. It's clearly out of scope. Try reading those judgements released by the courts on any matter. You will never want to discuss anything about laws ever again.

@Emerald Leftist policy is dictated entirely by leftists. But when you enact laws, plenty of right wingers also have to approve of it and get in between. So laws are far more complicated and even lawyers cannot discuss and understand it's ramifications. There is no such thing like a leftist law. Just like there is not right wing law. It is a mixed bag. Policies are easier to discuss. They make it clear the intentions and the effects of those intentions. That is all that matters.

What lol? I thought having a multi polar world is good for everyone. You think globalism is bad because it takes power away from America? What? Distributing power to multiple countries across the world is good for everyone. On top of that, countries will be less willing to wage wars on each other since they are dependent on trade from each other. I just do not get the problem with all this. We need as much trade and globalism and legal immigration as much as possible.

Leo I wonder what's your reasoning for this. Trade is done for mutual benefit. There is no force involved at all. This is the best of liberalism. What's what's wrong with globalism. It's bad when you push it, but else it's great.

Also there is more things to add: We need to teach children to be good citizens and honor the law. We need to teach them good etiquettes, manners and how to behave in public places, especially roads. Law and order has it's limits. Laws can rectify only when something bad has already been done. It's culture that makes people behave like good citizens that they don't even need law to guide them. Religion did this for a while, but no more. So we need to continue such moral studies in school. Eroding people's faith is bad like Leo mentioned in the post. @r0ckyreed did a gread post covering that. https://www.actualized.org/forum/topic/100613-the-missing-element-of-actualizedorg/

There are 1.8 million immigrants who came to America via the legal route waiting for citizenship based on employment. If any these people have virtually zero crime rates and they contribute disproportionate value to the US economy. Have you thought about honouring them. They are also in the united states, like those border crossers, just that they took the legal route. It's disrespectful to people who honor the law and come to united states legally, to give citizenship to anyone who can jump a fence. Leftist/Liberal policies has a trend of incentivising these kinds of unlawful behaviour while punishing people who take the pain to follow the law and morality.

Sir this is unacceptable. We need a submarine taskforce to check their papers.

I am from India lol. People assume I am American for whatever reason. Liberalism can thrive only in good times. Times of abundance and prosperity. In times of trouble people start to notice the way they become decadent in their past liberal era and gets into a conservative bubble. This decade is going to be a regression to conservatism throughout the globe. Liberalism thrived from 2010-22. 2023-30s are going to be the breaking down of the liberal international order. The average joe can hardly spot Israel on the map. It looks more like Israel uses America to destroy Iran.

You think it's right wing only because you belong in the top 5% of humanity. The US & Israel are among the most liberal nations in the world considering how conservative the rest of the world is. So make no mistake, the libs are who got us into this. What you are seeing is liberalism. She was kicked for "anti Semitic" remarks even though she replied with one word answers on X. Like "AIPAC" It's on libs who made it racist to criticize anyone but straight white men. And now you couldn't even criticize Israel with facts for fear of being called an anti Semite. It's the libs who dug their own ground. Own it.

And you think there is a logical fallacy in these statements? Cute.

What you even saying? If we didn't chase like we do now, we would gone extinct long ago already. Chasing is done exactly like Nature intended. And there is no logic involved in chasing. We are chasing only following the emotional instincts to get laid.
