Ain’t that just the way

The only ones I’ve seen are from @yiffit.net and @pawb.social

I’d volunteer for this. Fuck those French knights

I want to like Cool People who did Cool stuff, but the way information is presented by Margaret almost reads (listens?) like fiction storytelling. I appreciate the source quotes and media critiques of BtB which the few episodes of CPWDCS I’ve listened to didn’t really have.

Been going through Behind the Bastards and I enjoy it a lot. I started from the beginning which was excellent for understanding some of the memes and ongoing jokes.

I skip the “It Could Happen Here” episodes personally because they are very long and tend to bring me down, but they’re also really good and they really highlight the vulnerabilities of contemporary systems of government.

Eggcellent for egging Nazis on the streets

You need to expand on this claim. Yishuv, from my understanding, is the generation of Jews in Palestine before the formation of Israel. I’m not sure what point you’re making.

The whole story of Zionism pushing the idea of a country “of their own” and destined as a Jewish homeland predates the riots and conflicts that arose from increased Jewish settlement (and literal smuggling) in the area, because of Zionism, and nations like Britain playing up the idea of a promised Jewish homeland with the Balfour declaration for political purposes, and then dropping it when WW1 was over.

The yishuv living in relative peace prior to increased migration from people who believe fundamentally that this was their land is the story of human migration patterns causing strife that has happened throughout history in literally all corners of the world and is a very poor justification for why one group deserves their “ideal” homeland over another.

Agreed. I find the people in my life who blindly support Israel know nothing of the history of Zionism prior to 1948 and think Palestine was given to Israel just because of the holocaust, almost universally omitting that there were already people there and the responsibility of all western governments (I’m considering Russia “west” here) in the oppression of Jews in the years leading up to, and after, the holocaust.

The Behind the Bastards episode on Bibi Netanyahu talked about how he really got his start in the US as a lobbyist for the state of Israel and the media blitz Israel utilized to get both American parties to unconditionally support Israel. Most Americans are just propagandized af.

This is going to be how the zombie virus comes about. Someone ingests a million year old virus that becomes infectious and boom, we got new COVID.

Why not use both? I still use Reddit for game communities that haven’t developed on lemmy. Right now Lemmy is useful for different things, though I hope it continues to grow.

I deleted the Reddit app so I’m forced to use the browser version of Reddit which is fucking awful and keeps my Reddit time to a minimum.

I mean posts

I think you mean high art

It’s the slightly less motivated “committing”

Lemmy is Reddit from 13 years ago. Here’s hoping it doesn’t go the same way Reddit did lol

That’s been the opposite of my experience here on Lemmy and the exact thing I’m experiencing more and more on Reddit.

I get better responses here on Lemmy with my longer replies, which is great. Reddit feels overall dumber now where people will try and argue that your comment with sources is somehow less compelling than someone else’s sourceless opinion (true story).

I’m having far better interactions on Lemmy.

I’ve seen this comic

Ain’t it Ray?

I got banned from a bunch of right wing subreddits (r/conservative, r/askthedonald etc.) because I either posted articles disproving whatever garbage the post was spewing, or called people idiots because: they would make up a bunch of claims, they didn’t post any sources, and a quick google search proved them wrong.

I got banned from a bunch of left wing subreddit (r/againsthatesubreddits etc) for posting in and calling right wing subreddit people stupid and stating that pitbulls are far more dangerous than the average dog type, with links.
