Yes, he is a doctor. He has a PhD.

Earlier in his campaign he lied about being a physician. I have no idea why.

Now this article pops up and the title calls him doctor. Which in this context sounds like physician, but is technically true. And I have no idea why again.

Is this just for Healthcare expertise credentials? As far as I understand he still works adjacent to the field. This is just such a weird thing to lie about.

I mean the city bombings were war crimes after today's standards. Idk when the Rome statute or Geneva convention were created. Was driving out all the Germans from now Poland a war crime? The death toll was around 400,000 for that.

I'm not a historian idk if that's just what people did back in the day. Today that would be a war crime.

As a guy who knows nothing about the laws here:

If those were cops, that search and seizure would be completely illegal and they would get laughed out of court. You can't force someone to give you their password.

Now these were border people. That part of the american justice system seems already pretty lawless. Whether or not they are allowed to do what they did will be a central part of the case.

Also they pressured him to give them the code to unlock the phone and seemingly typed it in themselves. So maybe you can argue that it was their fault for not researching GrapheneOS and they destroyed the evidence.

This whole thing seems stupid and about some power tripping border-guards.

I've been blocking a lot of spaces, but the tankies just spread out and brigade everything. It's really annoying. I'm on a German instance so I'm pretty sure db0 defaderated because we actually police antisemitism, so I already get less of this.

But yea, Tankies being completely unhinged is all over the internet. If you want some examples look at what happened to Ethan Klein and Fleshsimulator (Re-upload because he gets mass reported).

This needs to get called out more.

I think the terms get mixed up sometimes. Israel calls it the war of independence. The displacement was part of "Plan Dalet". Nakba sometimes refers to the displacement and massacres specifically and sometimes to the whole war.

Don't get me wrong, war crimes were committed (if that was a thing back in '48 not sure). I just don't like the characterization that Israel is a terrorist state that terrorizes all its neighbors. This was not one-sided at all.

That's a wild telling of what happened in 1948.

After the Brits left Mandatory Palestine it was basically an existential war for Israel. Israel declares independence and immediately gets invaded by Egypt, Iraq, Transjordan and Syria, supported by the Arab Liberation Army and corps of volunteers from Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Yemen.

After the war Israel extended it's borders. Some say for security, some say as territorial conquest for more Jews to settle.

This is very much not as one-sided as you make it out to be.

It's funny how people say democrats should copy his performative stuff. Any other Democrat, who isn't DSA adjacent, would get memed out of office.

Get a DSA candidate elected in a purple district and you can talk. This is so dumb.

First few seconds:

People were into the idea of forcing control. Control for control's sake. Forcing people to obey.

This guy sounds like an idiot.

If we want to seriously talk about the covid response, we first need to kick out all the conspiracy theorists who hold it hostage.

Bonus meme:

I consider myself a classical Marxist and a classical liberal.

Lmao

To be fair, that sounds like an oxymoron. The Communists and Anarchists usually start killing each other after the revolution.

And yes, a communist being a mod here is sad. How do all the lib spaces get infiltrated by these LARPers.

The second comment is just me being annoyed. "Rape" is so inaccurate and overused. The article this is from describes something more in the direction of torture than rape.

I don't remember what that was was in response to, but it sounds like I'm comparing Israel to Russia. In which case I'm just right that Israel is way better.

But please do tell me where I was wrong there.

The "west" thing about Israel is that they are historically an ally of the US (still are) and a democracy with open archives, so we can see the bad things they did. None of the Arab states let people into the archives, so the comparison always feels weird.

As for "Zionist": Yes Israel has a right to exist. I like how the internet pretends like that's not a completely normal opinion XD

Tankies denying Chinese and Russian atrocities and maximally boosting and focusing on Israel are two sides of the same coin, because Israel is "the West" and Palestine is a former Soviet ally.

Although funnily enough, the Soviets pushed for a two state solution and tankies mostly don't want that I think.
