Comment on Why would the immune deficiency foundation do this?

  Still factually wrong. The IDF ist Israels military, independent from whether there are currently fascists in the government.

  Preemptive centrism I like it

    “War crimes are always bad no matter who commits them” is centrism?

      Any sane opinion is centrism and somehow bad. You are only allowed to commit genocides here!

      Centrism is selling guns to both sides.

      I understand your apprehension to centrism as it tries to normalize uneven sides, but to answer your question yes. The bare definition of centrism is that you don’t align with either side.

    I don’t think it’s centrist to say Fascism and Terrorism are both bad.

    Although I suppose “shitty people are shit” is neither a left wing or right wing take, so maybe it is.

      Frankly, centrism is fine in situations like this where both sides are so blatantly evil.

        There are lots of situations where it’s okay to sit on the fence. Centrism is only a problem when it’s pathologic.

        There is no situation where centrism is not fine, lol. The only people who dislike centrists are extremists and fanatics.

    Hell no, I’m just not some delusional chronically online tankie that’ll cheer on the deaths of hundreds of civilians. I’m an anarchist. Ideally there’d be no nations to fight over or religions to fight about anymore, but we don’t live in that reality. Hamas committed a massive atrocity. Israel has repeatedly committed atrocities by murdering tens of thousands of civilians

  IDF reservists actually took the step of protesting against the government over recent proposed changes to weaken their Supreme Court. (Source)

  Not what you’d expect “a bunch of fascists” to do. Nearly every Israeli citizen has mandatory military service.

  Surely you’re not labelling an entire population based on the actions of their government?

    It turns out you don’t need to be a card carrying true believer in fascism to be a fascist. All you gotta do is stand by while the fascists do what they want.

    Protesting is nice, i guess, but characterizing the Israeli government as “fascist” is pretty fair.

  Finally! A comment that gives out the full name of this stupid abbreviation

  source

  • kboy101222@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Honestly it should be common decency to put the full expanded name if you’re the first one to say it.

    source

    • Destraight@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      I didn’t even know what it meant, because abbreviations are fucking stupid
