Access to land, resources, trade routes, y’know things that imperialists have historically spilled lots of blood for. “Spheres of influence” if that makes more sense to you. Here are some links to the references I made so you don’t have to type them yourself —>

This generational fear was manipulated by the imperialists to create a colonial outpost with the façade of being a Jewish Safe Haven, and today continues to perpetuate a “siege mentality” to keep its population fervently nationalistic

Right, so the search for a national identity occurred in response to attempted extermination, during a period of imperialist powers carving up the globe (Herzl’s letter to Rhodes; Sykes-Picot)

Zionism was very much not agreed upon by the diaspora - Ahad Ha’am with cultural Zionism, swathes of Orthodox Jews criticized pre-messiah emigration, Albert Einstein refused the offer to be PM

Idk I think if a bunch of diasporic Jews are (understandably) frightened by annual ADL reports that say antisemitism is on the rise (conflating with antizionism), they might be encouraged to immigrate to “The Only Jewish State”, thus perpetuating the validity of a state founded on Zionist principles

If the ideology was formed in reaction, then wouldn’t it need to perpetuate antisemitism in order to maintain its validity?

"Today, the 'Palestine exception' has become a key entry point for an ideological capture of higher education, decades in the making."

Harvard talks free speech but silences Palestine It stands up to the Trump administration’s sweeping demands, but bows to those of its own billionaire donors.

Yesterday, in protest of Harvard University's response to the genocide in Gaza and deepening repression of campus activism against it, I submitted a letter of resignation from my job there. Here is that letter.

"What trillion-dollar problem is AI trying to solve?"

Luigi mangione reportedly played multiple videogames where players are rewarded for engaging in “boss battles”

What started as four pots and essential ingredients in Bait Lahia had grown into a remarkable effort to feed 3,000 people daily.

“I don’t really talk about politics”—sure you do! You’re just oblivious as to the ruling class ideology and propaganda you’re regurgitating!

At MIT we built an entire course around the fact that billionaires + companies dont innovate, normal people do

We innovate to solve problems we or our communities face, then companies either form around, buy, or steal those innovations and sell them for profit
