I think it’s meant more as “Bibi, specifically, has failed to get the ideological allies of Bibi into power” rather than “Israel has failed to ensure that both parties are ideological allies of Israel”

The distinction is important insofar as Netanyahu’s alliance with the GOP is concerned, as opposed to the general bootlicking attitude of American politicians towards Israel.

Iran and China are hesitant on him. Iran because he might be stupid enough to actually start a pointless war that’s in no one’s strategic interests, not even the US; China because he can be bribed, but he also swaps to the opinion of the person who last spoke to him, which makes him unpredictable (and thus makes it difficult to establish any policy that deals with the US as long as he’s in power).

Speaking as a mod, even speaking as a mod who’s terminally online, we can’t have eyes everywhere at once. Somewhere, in the depths of the comment chains, we always miss something, or skim over it. Reporting isn’t adding to our work load (generally), it’s a great help. You shouldn’t hesitate to report anything that seems like it breaks the rules/expresses bigotry.

Surprising absolutely no one except for the staunchest and blindest American Zionists.

Can’t avoid all family functions and family friends without alienating non-shitty family.

Cultural appropriation is American culture 😎

Of all the stupid, bigoted dogshit flung around by Hexbear, outright transphobia generally is not one of them.

It may be more effective to bring it up to the moderators of the individual communities where you’ve seen it. Also, generous use of the report button.

Returning to an occasional coke out of necessity after swapping to other sodas is a bizarre experience. It really has a strange taste. Not even necessarily bad, but strange. But if you return to it for a few weeks, you stop noticing it.

Israel is doing their damnedest to start a war with Iran, and there’s a non-zero chance that a sufficiently intense war between Israel and Iran will draw the US in for multiple reasons.

May labor continue to increase and exercise its power in this damn country! The decline of unions in the 80s did immeasurable damage to our society.

Hey, subbed to the former! Feel free to crosspost those to !historyporn@lemmy.world with a mention of your sub if you like.

I use my lemm.ee alt now. On Kbin it used to work if you self-upvoted, but Kbin doesn’t look like it’s coming back. I presume Mbin would work the same way, though.

Switzerland neutrally carrying water for fascism as per usual. It would be terrible if they burned bridges with Russian and Chinese oligarchs.

Oh, well, Israel couldn’t have THAT, of course

Which are used to target unpopular fringe groups not regional majorities.

Oh, okay, they’re too popular to do anything about. Phew. For a moment there I thought there might have been a consistent opposition to fascism.

I believe this is a private warden. Not sure what the game was in the area. Point probably applies otherwise.
