Israeli and Zionist influence in the USA is a purposeful choice of the American government. It allows the American government to circumvent many domestic and international laws by allowing Israeli firms to do the spying and dirty work for them. Israel is essentially a rogue state that is entirely controlled by the American intelligence apparatus (and therefore, American capital). This has created a feedback loop of constantly reinforcing settler colonialism and American economic extraction of the Middle East. If America withdrew support to Israel, this feedback loop would cease and Israel would be greatly diminished or completely collapse.

Saying Israel controls America is simply wrong, stop saying this. I will remove your post. ✌️

    I agree that it’s wrong and bad analysis. I could say more about it but mostly I’m just wondering why more poor judgement interventions being made by mod/admin team. Like are you bored or something? Not enough notifications this weekend?

    I said I was eating icecream :smuglord:

      Jesus why the fuck are you being so dismissive? Is this a thing where mods get drunk and do horribly short-sided and harmful things for fun? If it’s an inside joke, have fun I guess, but it’s unbarably cringe and making me doubt trust in mods at all

          I think the site culture still maintains some boundaries at which we react seriously to hard work put into a thought or idea. This is just an instance of someone missing that entirely and needing to reflect on that. Maybe it is impossible to maintain these 2 different cultural aspects I guess

            Yes, I agree, it’s OK to be ironic sometimes as long as you can be serious when needed. I think the irony has been reduced over the years, but sometimes it can still spill out like this in a completely counterproductive context.

        and making me doubt [sic] trust in mods at all

        My faith in the mods hit rock bottom during the DNS issue and has remained at rock bottom across all the other struggle sessions of the past year. Seeing this thread, Pippi Longstocking has for the umpteenth time put her hand on my shoulder and told me to make an Eigo Kinshi splinter of Hexbear already… Alas, I remain broke, know jack about computers, and don’t like that sort of attention, anyways.
