Hamas attacks Israel
-
It's interesting hearing all the wailing of even non-religious Jews after this terrorist attack and subsequent abandonment by the Left.
I wonder what impact that will have politically, both inside and outside of Israel?
-
The "hug a death cult" crowd has self-identified, and is in the crosshairs of some social retribution against their political opinions, for the first time in their lives. That will realign chunks of the younger mediocre masses who are really just interested in being socially acceptable, and have never thought or cared about politics or culture to begin with. Social retribution is anathema to them, and they will toe whatever line they are told to toe.
The older leftist mediocrities are more set in their ways, and have less to lose, and will happily die on whatever cross they think they're dying on.
Education is extremely important.

We all know this is exactly how lefties form opinions.
But has anyone ever heard a lefty say this out loud?
I think this might be like the eligible voter who wasn't allowed to vote. Nobody has ever seen or heard one.

Low self awareness correlates with being a lefty, so it stands to reason they're mostly unaware of their own programming.

Not to derail the thread but…..
How does that factor in for the likes of Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz or even that Donald Trump character?

People who get to the top might be more self aware than they let on. Trump is a conscious opportunist. Tucker has those texts where he admits to despising Trump. I don't know much about the others. But people who float to the top in politics are not great examples of the tendencies of the masses under them. They will all have enough awareness to navigate to their goal, even if part of that navigation is to convince everybody that what they say and do is what they really believe.

Good thing the right isn’t subject to programming, otherwise some con men could talk them into supporting Russia and forgetting their decade-long, full-throated support of the Iraq war.

You go with the information you have at the time. Back then, the Iraq War made sense. The only regret I have about that war is screwing over the Kurds, but I understand the realpolitick of why.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

There wasn’t a single original thought in that whole piece. I don’t understand why he felt it necessary or desirable to release it. He’s not wrong, just late to the dance.
He couldn't do it when he was President and he's still incapable of pinning the tail on the Muslim donkey.

The change in information was obvious in 2006. It was only a decade later that you changed your tune, and only after Trump gave you permission to do so without betraying your tribe.
I’m giving you a bit of credit with that last sentence. I assume part of you knew it was a strategic failure years before, but it took Trump giving you cover before you could say it out loud.

Trump. The man strides through your brain with seven-league boots.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Once again, BBC approaches this from the plight of the Gazans.
If you look at the BBC website there are plenty of articles about the horrors that have happened to the Israelis written from their perspective. Many of them are very difficult to read. I don't feel that the situation of the Gazans should be ignored or overlooked. Clearly Hamas were the aggressor, and are monsters, but the regular folk in Gaza are suffering because of this.
