Nice, quoting the dead sea scroll now
TFW Carl Schmitt
should stay on the concrete, preferably forever
''It's too complicated, what happened is disgusting regardless of the facts''
Rather, they, like many Palestinians in the region, view Hamas's attack not as an unprovoked aggression but as the consequence of decades of Israeli oppression.
I don't understand why liberal democracy that says they are the good guy because they are allowed to look at all the information available in the world doesn't seems to want to look at the issue beyond last week
I think there is a limit in the propaganda when you have propagandize the evil Russians having the power to flatten Ukrainian buildings and flip it around and portray the Israelies who also have the power to flatten Palestinian buildings is now the good guy (tm)
Also Iraq War still haunt people's memory. Regardless of the bleakness of the world, I still have Faith in most people are not as memory holed as we think and that people still has gut instinct that people with zero means to defend themselves are not terrorists
Moving the goalpost
“Right now, one goal: Nakba! A Nakba that will overshadow the Nakba of 48. Nakba in Gaza and Nakba to anyone who dares to join! their Nakba, because like then in 1948, the alternative is clear,” the Likud Party member wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.''

''Israeli officials have repeatedly stigmatised the term as embodying an 'Arab lie' or as a 'justification for terrorism'. In 2009, the Israeli Education Ministry banned using 'nakba' in Palestinian textbooks for children. In 2011, the Knesset forbade institutions from commemorating the event. According to Neve Gordon, a school ceremony memoralizing the nakba would, under the 2011 law, have to respond to charges that it incited racism, violence and terrorism, and denied Israel's democratic character, in doing so.[55] In 2023, after the United Nations instituted a commemoration day for the Nakba on 15 May, the Israeli ambassador Gilad Erdan remonstrated that the event itself was antisemitic.[56]''
Also, laissez-faire is just the physiocrats translating and applying wuwei to state involvement in economics
This is kind of interesting
Because Laissez-faire vs State intervention was already a debate in Ancient Chinese empires.

To the point of Daoism, it is kind of interesting that the ideology basically involved into Mohism, Legalism and Confucianism with the latter basically just out right copy the 2 formers. The case of Daoism fusing with Legalism (a kind of totalistic ideology) basically created Foucault's Panopticon
wait for a year when the US department will try to bake shit on how taiwan is actually a synthesis of the best of Asia and the West.
As a matter of fact, there is a taiwanese talk show had a dude talking about how the democratization of Taiwan showing that Taiwan is superior contrary to the barbaric rule of law in the mainland (mainly referring to Hu jintao and covid)
The dude quoted Steven pinker for his thesis
