All the white men in American politics! The horror the horror!

Now you are putting words in my mouth. Also, the situation in Palestine is no excuse. Also, source for the claim that “da Jooz are replacing de Europeans”?
Also, blaming all Jews for Israel’s abuses is just as inane as blaming all white people for slavery or whatever. Do you not see how you are falling into the same identity politics trap you claim to oppose. I don’t give a flying fuck that white men are in American politics because I’m not some kind of deluded identitarian idiot. Still, that doesn’t excuse anti-semitism.



Who said I’m against identity politics? I’m not a trump or Shapiro conservative lmao

And if I gave you a source you would just scream racism

And I mean it’s kind of an objective fact if your not totally clueless.

Why do you think most countries other then the state dislike Israel?

*** Warned *** for echo trolling.

It's antisemitic and it's not allowed here. Refrain, please. Additionally, if you wish to discuss human rights abuses and Israel, then there is a place for that and this thread is not it.

Thanks!

We are discussing how “white men” dominate US politics and I called out the lie that is so obviously transparent it hurts.

Why do you think most countries other then the state dislike Israel?

1. If you support identity politics, then I doubt you care about being ideologically consistent. Has it occurred to you that the exact same rhetoric against Jews could be used for any identity?

2. I’ll reserve judgement until I see the source. If your source is some stormfront type shit, it’s safe to assume it’s a shitty source.

3. That white people in politics isn’t some evil force? Why doesn’t this apply to other demographics?

4. Probably because of the abuses they are committing. Also, Palestine does have the backing of the Arab League. Also, most countries with a beef with the US probably hate Israel because the USA likes it.

Neither do I, the OP is wrong in my opinion. Still, that gives you zero excuse to be an anti-Semite. Unlike you, I refuse to single out any identity as some sort of evil entity.

1. No really?

2. Ugh slave trade, both world wars, the Russian revolution, yeah Hebrew nation is sure not responsible for anything right.

3. Because that is the indigenous population of America and not subject to the same standard.

4. And again notice the diversity of opinions who oppose the ZOG complex.

Fine. Still, blaming most Jews is hardly any better.

Here let’s get back on topic before the mods steam roll us

I’m glad you disagree with the OP that is respect. Regardless of ones belief that point is a stretch

Good idea. And yes, I’m glad we can at least agree on the lack of validity in the OPs statement.

Let's be honest, this diversity push will be used by our elites to show how forward thinking they are while nothing changes, which is the type of politics that San Lumen supports.

Can’t argue with that. I could care less if the person I’m getting screwed over by is white or not.

Your not wrong

It’s easy to virtue signal about racism

It’s hard to actually help the working class and poor people

I’d think most people would rather have a legislator of a different race who agrees with them on issues, than one of their own race with views they dislike. I’m part Asian, but I’d take a white guy who I liked over someone like Duterte.

Jews are that different from Europeans? They look pretty much the same. I've talked to San Lumen before like where we could see each other and he looks pretty much like a "white guy" (pretty fluid concept). So I dont see what the issue here is, besides of course the very real issue of Israeli war crimes.

Much of my family supports this sort of thing, at least in part. Or at the very least, they are defeatist about it. In some ways, only my uncle and my grandpa aren’t like that. Albeit for different reasons.

Race is not a factor in how I vote or of anyone I know. I vote for whomever the best person is. But having a legislature that looks the state or country is not a bad thing
