If you don't want to hear about billionaires, I invite you to try.... billionaire controlled media! You will find they are scarcely mentioned at all, except to glorify the accomplishments of individual billionaires, with no consideration of class structure or generational privilege

Now I'm definitely on your side by temperament but my understanding is that they do this to try and build social bonding. (They don't have the capacity or inclination to bond by infodumping about their special interest(s))

Just imagine, being stuck in small talk for as many as 5 minutes!

The point isn't the thrill of the hunt, it's the ostentatious display of the trophy that you can show off to all your guests

Ahhh, of course, we are going to reach for the "Anti-Zionism = Anti- Semitism" defense. For the record, I make common cause with any Jewish people who oppose colonialism and genocide, like these honest and noble folks: https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/

Interesting, I wonder what happened immediately before the state of Israel declared Independence? Funny how you and the other occupiers never want to talk about the Nakba. Funny how you want to talk about declaring independence but not about displacing hundreds of thousands and destroying or colonizing hundreds of villages and towns.

How about this: return all the land that was taken in the Nakba, then we can stop talking about the destruction of the occupier state. Is that civil and fair enough for you? Or was it always about stealing the land from the beginning?

I don't really give a shit if resistance fighters check all the right civility boxes. The occupiers were already given most of the land in 1949, but that just wasn't enough. Fuck genocidal setters. Fuck false equivalence. Fuck apartheid. The PLO has played the civility game all these years, how has that worked out for them? Israel is an evil and corrupt society (the US is too).

assault with intent to annihilate

So we're just making up serious sounding phrases to try and balance the scales? Which side is bulldozing houses and stealing land? Which side is practicing brutal apartheid? Which side FUCKING BOMBS SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS?

Jesus fucking Christ get outside of your media bubble every once in awhile.

I suspect that you can't because you have built a comfortable occupier existence for yourself, so you can't look at the pile of bodies forming the foundation of your existence.
