@Artemisfornow Lauded people like you and Paul Ehrlich have said that every decade for hundreds of years. We're not "running out of time", not by a long shot.

Humanity is dying and we are running out of time to save ourselves. You know that right?

@TruRedpolitics @TheOmniLiberal Finkelstein crushed himself. His "exhibit A" which he persisted with for over an hour was a quote from Benny Morris, literally the guy opposite him.

@TheOmniLiberal Lmao you crushed Finkelstein? Whilst your Mrs was getting crushed into the head board in the room next door ? Is this what you mean ?

I have openly said I didn't know fuck all about I/P until October 7th and I started doing research on it. In 6 months I was able to debate your best scholars on it and crush them (see: Finkelstein RIP), and the rest avoid the debate (for good reason). Hasan claims to have known about I/P for over a decade and doesn't know literally the most important landmark in the country.

@tanc_rant @stephen7502 @g_gosden How can you accuse others of stupidity with sentences like that? Have you ever considered you don't have all the facts and your worldview might be slightly off-kilter?

@stephen7502 @g_gosden No. It just says that dumb racist cunts who like bending over & spreading particularly wide for those that are going to shaft them, vote Reform.

Well that’s pretty clear cut

@g_gosden Why would any educated person vote for the Green Party? They're economically illiterate, latch onto any fashionable policy even if it contradicts another, and appear to want to run the country on "vibes". Quality of education is also a factor.

@Selim032452 @NathanJRobinson Had he continued the block, Hamas would have kicked off big time. He did it to help the fragile ceasefire, and ironically to quieten criticism that he was causing a humanitarian disaster by blocking funds. As always, the Israelis are damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

@brown421762 @NathanJRobinson No. Even before October 7 Netanyahu was approving cash flow from Qatar to Hamas, sometimes even physical cash deliveries through crossings. His goal was obviously to keep hamas in power and to weaken them, rather then having the PA regain control in Gaza.

one important question for anyone who supports "defensive" military aid to Israel such as the Iron Dome is: do you support defensive military aid for Palestine? Will you fund a Golden Dome for Gaza to protect its civilians from Israeli missiles? And if not, why not?

@Selim032452 @NathanJRobinson Under pressure, Netanyahu lifted a block on money transfers from Qatar into Gaza. Anti-Israel trolls misrepresent that as "Netanyahu funded Hamas". What would you have said had he kept the block? Be honest.

@brown421762 @NathanJRobinson You mean the Qatari money, that Netanyahu begged for? Lmao

@Selim032452 @NathanJRobinson Hamas don't allow ordinary Gazans into the tunnels to shelter. They deliberately keep them up top. The Israelis care more about minimising collateral damage than Hamas does. And yes, the Hamas leadership are Qatari billionaires who martyr their own people for the "cause".

@brown421762 @NathanJRobinson Dude.... Wake up. Nobody believes this propaganda anymore.

@WorthSharingX @jk_rowling Replace "the whole world" with "the very niche voguish views of some Western academics and perma-students" and you're halfway there.

@jk_rowling Oh sure, the whole world was wrong until you came along to set us straight

🙄The fringe idea that we all have a 'gender identity' that may or may not match our biological sex is the whole point of this discussion. Trans activists act as though the existence of 'gender identity' is a settled, self-evident point, when to the vast majority of the world it's unevidenced, quasi-religious, pseudoscientific nonsense, which has been imposed top down on our society with serious consequences for vulnerable women and troubled youth in particular. Meaningful discussion about competing needs and rights cannot happen inside an elitist ideological bubble where everyone is forced to adopt gender ideology's approved jargon, accept its self-contradicting slogans as fact and pretend fact-light assertions and feeble sophistry are critical thinking. You tell us to 'educate' ourselves, by which you mean, 'adopt our beliefs unquestioningly,' but at this point, most of us know your arguments off by heart. These include, but are not limited to: feelings trump facts and unless we agree we're 'erasing people from existence'; women and girls aren't definable entities, so why should they be entitled to their own sports and single-sex spaces; clownfish and people with DSDs mean sex is 'on a spectrum' and 'woman' is a set of stereotypes associated with the female sex class, so it doesn't matter if you've got a penis, if you identify with those stereotypes you're 'valid'. The reason we haven't been won over by these talking points and remain so tragically 'uneducated' isn't that we've failed to grasp the sophistication of your world view. It's that we think you're talking unadulterated bullshit and making fools of yourselves.

@TheAliceSmith Yes. And soft Western Lefties would get eaten alive if they had to interact with actual Islamists or the working class. Those groups are just tokens for them.

Some of the support for Islam by western leftists is due to what used to be called orientalism. This is a romanticised view of the Eastern world exotic, alluring and spiritual. It’s the same patronising attitude they apply to e.g. the working class.

@Jwang312 @TheAliceSmith Totally agree on both points. I'm in the UK and it's slightly different here. We have a Left wing government trying to introduce surveillance and mandatory ID, and our PM is getting cosy with China. Our Conservatives are really secular free speech Liberal Democrats, like Canada.

border and domestic immigration enforcement are two very distinct subjects, though often conflated on purpose. mass domestic enforcement means inevitable mass surveillance and police state, as well as due process violations, which are significant steps towards fascism. The only viable solution is a pathway to citizenship (some may call it amnesty) combined with targeted deportations of violent criminals. The cost is only political. Before anyone mentions welfare, it should be struck down regardless of immigration topics. remember if the goal is to preserve western civ, then there must be no compromise to authoritarianism.

Signs that you are NOT a FASCIST: You support smaller government, not bigger government. You support free speech, not censored or compelled speech. You support the separation of economy and state. You support private property, not public ownership.

@realMaalouf Cover those ankles Kate! How dare she inflame the rapey animal lusts of those men? They can't help themselves, the poor dears.

Princess Kate wanted to sit cross-legged in a mosque, but was told that she couldn’t because it’s haram.

@WorldByWolf He has a degree from Oxford, but I can't find a single source which says it's third class. Evidence please, or are you just making things up like most of Murray's critics?

I’m not sure most people realise that Douglas Murray’s only formal qualification is a third class bachelors degree in English Literature. By his own standards he isn’t qualified to talk about foreign policy, immigration, or Islam - all of which he’s built his career on.

@Jwang312 @TheAliceSmith No, obviously. But the term "fascist" is being misapplied to those who just don't want open borders. Open societies aren't the same as "open borders". Being selective about who we let in isn't fascism.

@brown421762 @TheAliceSmith to state it another way, consider this. Classical liberalism or fascism, which one is the western civ way? If I am pushing an agenda to deviate from classical liberalism towards fascism in name of preserving western civ, am I really preserving western civ?

@PalczynskaAnna @JakeWSimons @EylonALevy Can you explain how Israel is an "apartheid state" involved in "ethnic cleansing"? Arabs in Israel have equal rights to Jews, and far more rights than in any Arab nation. Israel has equal rights for women, gays, etc.

@JakeWSimons @EylonALevy At the time, Golda Meir’s words could actually convince some people. Now, severe apartheid, ethnic cleansing,Gaza genocide, the “lawn mowing”and other exercises in war crimes, leave even the most naïve with no doubts as to the nature of your tribe. You forgot the internet. Fatal.

Golda Meir was always so right.

@JohnLeBrocq @TheAliceSmith ...which is the polar opposite of classical Liberalism and Liberal Democracy. Fascism is "everything in the state", i.e. totalitarian socialism.

@TheAliceSmith A fascist govt. is far-right, authoritarian, and nationalistic, forcibly suppresses opposition, strong regimentation of society to conservative values, extreme nationalism, militarism, often racial superiority, subordinates individual to the state or state sponsored business.

@RandyEischer @TheAliceSmith Please explain?

@TheAliceSmith This is libertarianism, which is far more adjacent to fascism than you're willing to admit.

@Jwang312 @TheAliceSmith Sure, but classical liberalism is a polar opposite of fascism. It's designed to prevent totalitarian government. It's also inherent to Western civ, so I don't see how a belief in Western civ means you lean fascist.

@TheAliceSmith these are actually signs of libertarians/classical liberals/economic conservatives. Some RW may argue that there is still space between these and fascism. Any many people pretend to believe these until you repeat the cues “national security” and “western civ”

@aziz0nomics Only if Palestinian leaders give up the fantasy that any day now Israel will be destroyed and actually come to the table in good faith. 4th time lucky.

Do you think permanent peace between Israelis and Palestinians is possible?

@P202641716 @forallcurious You honestly think Artemis is a fake? You think the hundreds of thousands of people who work in and around NASA are all faking it? For what reason?

@forallcurious Why should we believe a damn thing coming from NASA? Oh that's right we shouldn't
