You talk about regression, I talk about progression, we are not the same.

Seems more like you are scared to actually progress intellectually.

If you yourself had any manners, you wouldn’t troll on an issue like that. Also, I didn’t call you names, I directly asked if you are Anti-Deutsch. You could just say “No, I’m not, that’s not my ideology. I’m just a Zionist, without the pretence of leftism”. If name-calling is that I call you out on the obvious bad faith troll behaviour, then idk, maybe stop playing victim, it doesn’t suite you.

In the comment I answered to, you started of with a deflection away from Israel, with classic whataboutism: “But there are other countries doing the same”. WhY dOeS nObOdY tAlK aBoUt ThIS oThEr StUfF.

Then you asked two questions:

So why are they so special? Why is that tragedy worth all our attention and the others don’t seem to be?

I answered both of these questions, directly. I gave you my take, why this might be different from other atrocities around the world. You ignored it entirely and spam-pasted your previous comment with a little amendment how “it’s interesting to watch the global outcry for kinda only one of these genocides” and immediately again, deflected to another issue, which again was simply whataboutism. So, it’s kinda weird that you are talking about manners, if you yourself aren’t even able to actually stay in the conversation, but ignore people’s engagement completely. Quite demeaning, don’t you think?

Now you slyly pretend to engage with what I said with “To answer your question, it’s not just western news that (…)”, but you don’t actually answer any question I put forward. What you do instead is deflect from the actual substance of what I commented and derail towards what might or might not be your honest take, but it’s not in any way shape or form in reference to what has been said.

I could engage with your takes, I would actually respect them as good faith commentary, if only you actually engaged with the substance of my messages. You don’t, you are a troll.

You are a bad faith actor and I call you out for it. Directly engage with the comment I made above, do it now. Do you agree with my reasoning, why it’s different? If you don’t agree, reply with reference to what has been said, explain why the points I made are, in your view, not a differentiating factor. But you don’t do any of that, you keep ignoring the topic and deflect, deflect, deflect. You are acting in bad faith. We are done, if you don’t engage with the answers I gave to your very own questions.

I’m sure your hurt feelings are the issue here. I‘m so sorry, I may have been rude to you. How about now?

There’s space for everything.

You failed to engage with my answer to your earlier comment, the one before your c&p answer. How about you do that first.

Nobody said that. Removed with your strawman.

You complain about too much politics on Lemmy with your 3 days old account and engage in rage baiting and concern trolling on political topics. How about you just don’t subscribe to political communities then? That’s gonna make live easier for everyone, you don’t see all the politics you don’t like and the communities don’t have to put up with your bad faith conduct.

So you’re doubling down, you’re a proud Anti-Deutscher or what? Stop spamming your false equivalencies. Nice concern troll you are. Maybe read my comment and try to understand to difference, as your take just doesn’t make any sense as an answer. It’s no argument.

Two and a half years into an active ongoing high tech industrialised genocide and you come around with that smelly removed hasbara take to deflect. The countries doing “the same” are the countries enabling this shit. So let’s see:

• Maybe it could have something to do with the US, UK, Germany and others (ThE wEsT) actively facilitating that fascist Lebensraum endeavour by finance, ideology, policy, weaponry, research, development, logistics, infrastructure, consent manufacturing, domestic opposition repression, domestic justice disintegration – instead of doing anything at all to put an end to it.
• Maybe because Israeli mass murderers and mass rapists are free to move anywhere in the West and are institutionally protected from any consequences for their vile deeds or are even celebrated as heroes or at least as poor victims.
• Maybe because the West is acting antisemitic, by equating Zionism and Judaism; and people really don’t like Anti-Semitism for some reason.
• Maybe because “never again” was supposed to mean “never again”.
• Maybe because anyone is able to witness the horrors live on their devices every day.
• Maybe because it’s THE main showcase for western value hypocrisy.
• Maybe because the West is ignoring international law and the international court.
• Maybe because the West is doing nothing to protect their own citizens that decide to take action – but rather deport them, strip them of their citizenship, beat them up, jail them, treat them as terrorists?
• Maybe because western police are actively suppressing activist Jews, underscoring the antisemitic and hypocritical nature of their policies.
• Maybe because it’s furthering societal division?
• Maybe because it’s racist as fuck?
• Maybe because it’s a western colony?
• Maybe because it’s an Apartheid regime?
• Maybe because your stance is symbolic of what the German Staatsräson is supposed to accomplish – wilful ignorance.

Idk, man, maybe you could just delete your account again, doesn’t seem to be worth the constant attention with removed takes like that.

The US National Security Strategy (2022) says its top priority is “out-competing China and Constraining Russia” and that a key goal is that “Russia’s conventional military will have been weakened” (p.23, p.26).

A 2024 Foreign Policy analysis from a RAND expert explicitly calls Ukraine “a widening proxy war” with East Asian powers competing on the global stage.

By now, the US National Security Strategry (2026) shifts to “prioritize deterring China” and says NATO allies should take “primary responsibility for Europe’s conventional defense” (p.10, p.11).

The US wants to weaken Russia so Europe can handle it by their own, freeing the US to focus on China. Wild stuff!

The more interesting question would be, why the UFC is supporting a fascist regime and what kind of action antifascist fans will take and which kind of individuals are openly boycotting this kind of endorsement. Any?

The content of that picture does not support your claim in any way. Also, it’s from a straight up western cyber security and intelligence think tank. This is not a source, it’s narrative shaping.

Provide a serious source, this shit ain’t it. Right now, as far as I’m concerned, you’re spreading desinformation.

You’re allowed to concede that all you do is act out of impulse, not through the process of thinking.

Nobody’s praising anyone, you’re jumping to conclusions. If you’d have a good understanding on why you hate the US, you’d focus more on their proxy war in Ukraine to weaken and take out Russia in order to encircle China. It’s not that complicated. That doesn’t mean, that anyone argues in favor of Russia, that’s a dishonest take. I implore you to focus on the actual problem in this world and work from there.

How so, by backing a US/NATO proxy war?

The actions were laid out in the OP comment and in the article you refuse to read.

You think Michael Parenti had to gain as much from writing up this article, that it’s not worth your time reading it? A published academic article for the global community.

Stop wasting your time finding excuses.
