Harsh, but historically accurate.

The genocide that you directly profit and benefit from every day of your life was accidental, what a shocking coincidence πŸ˜‚

Why is @gallego.senate.gov endorsing a literal Nazi for the US Senate? Is Senator Gallego a Nazi too, or does he just think Nazism is an acceptable price to pay, to avoid the horrific injustice of nominating an experienced and competent woman over the age of 60?

Either way, Senator, get fucked.

"Someone who tells you exactly what he thinks"

What Graham Platner thinks:

- Got a Nazi tattoo
- Called himself a communist
- Said Black people don't tip
- Called all police "bastards"
- Said rape victims should "not get so f**ked up"

Bravo, leftists. Pure genius move.

And unlike most of the GOP's bullshit, all of these claims are both accurate and in context.

This is but a taste of what awaits EVERY Democratic candidate this fall.

Yeah, I got what you meant.

He wasn’t trying to make a joke, the only reason he didn’t understand what he said to be a joke was because he’s not as familiar with Jews and Judaism as he thinks lol

The fact that Wales and Ireland have both resurged in recent decades, to re-establish their own linguistic and cultural traditions that had been suppressed by Anglo-Saxons, and later Anglo-Normans, and later the English, for centuries, answers that question.

Your White Saviordom is showing.

I fully support land-back movements all over the world, because indigenous people deserve the right to live in the lands of their ancestors, including Jews.

The fact that YOU seem to think colonization and theft are crimes that are totally fine as long as you run out the statute of limitation says

this land from your ancestors, they just moved on after the fact, so you’re just shit out of luck I guess!”

Yes, the lands of the US whose indigenous inhabitants have still managed to exist and retain their culture despite ethnic cleansing and literal genocide absolutely should be returned to them.

Yes, if there was any justice, the indigenous tribes of North America would have returned the lands that were stolen from them by European colonists.

If people of the Oneida nation came to me and demanded their land back, what argument could I make against it? β€œIt wasn’t MY ancestors who stole

Ehh, I don’t feel like it’s really my place to have an opinion on that. I doubt he’d win a free and fair election though, any more than the Ayatollah would.

I sure the person who said it didn’t mean it that way, but to anyone who is Jewish, the statement β€œyou can’t argue about…” literally any aspect of Judaism is inherently hilarious, because of the level of ignorance of Jewish culture that statement reflects.

Everything is arguable, it’s what we do πŸ˜‚

Exactly. I would love for Iranians to have a freely elected democratic government that actually represents their interests.

But I don’t think the way to achieve that is by the US bombing whatever makes Pete Hegseth feel most badass, and potentially imposing the son of the previous brutal dictator.

Something I see periodically from non-Jewish anti-Zionists is this line about how it is against Judaism to make a Jewish state before the Messiah comes and I would ask you all to kindly please shut up

which is why there has been a continuous, if small, Jewish presence in the Levant for the last two thousand fucking years, despite the ahistorical nonsense and bigotry cooked up by European Nazis, Arab Imperialists, and White Saviors of all stripes.

And, for the record, many Levantine Jews (and non-Jews) were forced submit to Arabization after they were conquered by colonizing imperialists, and eventually their indigenous culture, language, and religion were erased in favor of Arabic and Islam.

Many others retained their identity and culture,

The fact that you could describe the Romans’ forcible expulsion of Jews from Judea as β€œmigration” speaks volumes about the bigotry driving your perspective, and underpinning your bullshit arguments.

You people are fucking pathetic.

historical use of propaganda, it’s effects on populations, and how we distinguish between different kinds of information and how we learn to interpret and draw conclusions from those sources.

When 30-40% of students are too busy watching tiktok and assaulting each other to learn those things when

The number of people you see online complaining about things they were β€œnever taught” in school is innumerable, however the things they complains about largely ARE taught in school.

I teach civics, and how the government works. I teach critical analysis of primary sources, and I teach about the

almost always those who immigrated to the US, and see education as the vehicle to give their children a better life.

We have an enormous problem in the US with how education is perceived: learning is treated as having no value outside of giving people the ability to generate wealth as adults.

learning are the students who are the children of immigrants, or immigrants themselves. Across racial, subcultural, and socioeconomic lines, American students are largely disengaged from the process of learning, and their parents largely don’t care. The engaged parents I’ve met with as a teacher are

of those things actually address the systemic cultural issue that Americans simply do not value education and learning, and largely do not teach their children to value those things.

There is plenty that could be improved about our education system, particularly related to class sizes, differentiated curricula, and the way we teach reading (i.e. without phonics), however none

Our education standards are largely fine. It is not the fault of the government, that none of my students have an attention span longer than 45 seconds, and are pathologically addicted to the dopamine drip that their phones constantly to give them, to the point that they refuse to engage with their

If you actually thought you were making a serious argument or if you were just repeating someone else’s bullshit paraphrasing of a genuine scholarly work that you saw on the internet.

Of course, I shouldn’t have expected anything like the citation of a source to back up your claim. How silly of me.

So you are completely full of shit, and don’t know what you’re talking about. Thank you for clarifying that.

If you had actually read the book you’re trying to cite, it should be easy for you to do. I’m pretty sure I know which part of you’re failing to correctly describe, but I was mildly curious
