She's a typical modern Republican politician. She loves money, and will support literally anyone who cuts taxes, and works to remove regulations that hinder profit. That's it. That's all they care about. All the culture war stuff is to keep the poors blaming each other than coming after her masters.

Why would you think it's a good political move to sign a bomb in such a controversial conflict. It boggles my mind who suggested that as a good idea.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 91 points 5 months ago

The conflict is only controversial to one party.

[-] takeda@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

Unlike Hollywood movies, things aren't always black and white. It is quite possible that both sides are. Neither the Hamas nor Nethanyahu government are the good guys. Both sides try to exterminate the other side. Both sides also don't mind killing innocent people in their way.

It is a fucked up situation, and with recent developments it looks like it is turning into Israel's Afghanistan. Biden was right warning Nethanyahu to not make the same mistake at US did after 9/11.

I responded to a comment asking why a national politician would choose a side in a conflict. My response was that her political party has picked a side to support by a wide majority.

Republicans support Israel in this conflict almost universally. Haley's support of Israel isn't controversial in her own party.

This wasn't a statement on the morality of the conflict, but of the political support of the belligerents. Republicans support Israel.

Behold, the moderate Republican.

[-] suction@lemmy.world 61 points 5 months ago

FYI: Most of those braindead “am I not allowed to criticize Biden???” comments and posts on social media are a concerted effort by right-wingers from /pol and other such sewers, trying to get people to not vote against Trump. Don’t fall for it. These aren’t “lefties” or “tankies”. Just downvote, report, and ignore.

Maybe they're involved, but a much bigger player pushing that line of reasoning is the Kremlin. They want to get Trump elected again so he cuts aid to Ukraine.

Lemmy is fucking FULL of them. Every other post is some Israel / Genocide Joe bullshit.

If you didn't know any better you'd think Joe is literally flying a bomber over Gaza right now.

It's getting tiresome even down voting this crap.

Why WHY would Joe Biden sign off on providing Nikki Haley with PERMANENT MARKERS!

[-] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 22 points 5 months ago

An incredible oversight. How can he recover from this?

How can they say they love Israel but also say Jews run everything and be generally negative towards Jews here?

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 39 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

"Doublethink is a process of indoctrination in which subjects are expected to simultaneously accept two conflicting beliefs as truth, often at odds with their own memory or sense of reality. Doublethink is related to, but differs from, hypocrisy."

Edited to add:

It's a common tactic with fascist regimes. Nazis used to do it with Jewish propaganda by simultaneously claiming that Jews were weak vermin that needed to be exterminated and that they are this supervillain that controls all the money.

You currently see it a lot with the people chanting "Genocide Joe" and claiming he is some mastermind warhawk with at the same time claiming that he is some feeble, senile old man. He's Schrödinger's politician!

She was ambassador to the UN. The Republicans and Likud together constitute the new Nazi party. Nationalist Zionists.
