Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
These people don't feel shame. They're wealthy psychopaths who made it to power.
I wonder what Mr. Rogers would say.
Find the helpers?
I can tell you where we're not finding them.
Apparently, Mr Roger’s first episode he spoke against the Vietnam war
A good start. Now we only need people to start realising it's not the 'inaction' of world leaders that's the problem; it's the active support of the genocide.
This may not be the proper place for this, but is there a video or explanation for why Palestine is hated so much by Israel? Germany is no longer seen as entirely evil Nazi's, Japan doesn't have the same stigmas from WWII either. What has Palestine done to warrant the atrocities happening? If it happened in the past, surely, by now, enough time has passed where it just doesn't matter anymore.
Israelis are indoctrinated from their youth to see Palestinians as barbarians trying to kill all Israelis (or Jews as they like to call themselves). This creates a justification for the Israeli colonists to kill all Palestinians because with their twisted logic it is "kill or be killed".
What is remarkable is Israelis frequently project evils committed by themselves in the past against Palestinians. Such as Israelis throwing children in ovens during the Nakba. Or mass the mass rape of Palestinian hostages by Israel/
If Israel accuses Palestinians of something heinous, you can almost guarantee that Israel did that very thing against Palestinians
It's simple; they're living on the land that the zionist project wants. Everything else is just working backwards from that to create ideological justification for wiping them out.
Probably being egged on by USA and Europe for the purposes of keeping the Middle East in line. Most of Israel funding comes from defense spending from the US and other countries. They don't have oil like their rich Arab neighbors. ME do not like Israel around . Also the land was stolen from Palestinians, after WW2.
Japan wasnt invaded and had their population extirpated after. They mostly kept their population there after the war
Me also not like Israel.
(sorry, couldn't help it)
What’s with the constant skip jumping? Is this part of a coherent message that she originally shared. I’m behind her but this format was grating.
In the era of instant gratification, there is no time to breath. Maybe you've caught yourself skipping a post without thinking. Some posts are just too wordy. Our brains filter it out nearly subconsciously. The result of this competitive hyper targeted content delivery is a severely shortened attention span. Thinking is becoming more and more painful.
Also, Ms. Rachel is very amateur at video editing.

Fuck
Really insightful comment though. I dislike that entire medium for reasons I've never been able to fully articulate, and I think you touched on a big piece of it.
But it's early and I was being intellectually lazy.
Maybe she didn’t script it and she cut out gaps where she considered her next sentence. I don’t use the app but my guess is tiktok has a max on the length of a video so maybe she also cut other lines out so it would fit. I agree, I’m not a fan of choppy editing but I understand that people sometimes want to get a thought out there with just one take
How to tell she's right: people griping about the presentation instead of the substance.
I don’t disagree with the content. I still couldn’t sit through the whole thing and I tried three times. Delivery is important, not sure what your point is.
