Israel’s military has claimed it has encircled Gaza City and divided the besieged coastal strip into two, as Gaza came under its third total communications outage since the start of the war.
“Today, there is north Gaza and south Gaza,” Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari told reporters on Sunday, calling it a “significant stage” in Israel’s war against Hamas.
Israeli media reported that troops are expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours. Strong explosions were seen in northern Gaza after nightfall.
But the “collapse in connectivity” across Gaza reported by internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org and confirmed by the Palestinian telecom company Paltel made it even more complicated to convey details of the new stage of the military offensive.
As a LIbertarian I can happily say that the Chinese Communist party is like a band of angels compared to Hamas. As repressive governments go, they have done an incredibly low amount of shitty things. So I don’t think your comparison quite works.
“As a libertarian” is not the way to start an opinion if you want to be taken seriously.
Most political ideologies have at least one good take. Libertarianism has the “don’t allow companies to seize power with regulatory capture” and “whatever the state does is backed by enforced seizure of funds and whatever it enforces it does so with violence” takes, which are both pretty solid, regardless of what you think about economics or if any of the actions of states are positive on their own.
Not that I agree with this guy’s rambling take on Hamas at all…
Have you noticed how any mention of libertarianism is instantly met with the ‘pedo association’ thought terminator?
It was really gaining a lot of popularity as an ideology until around the 2016 elections and trailed off until COVID. But like Occupy WallSt and all ideas dangerous to The State, suddenly anyone who wants to be free to do what they want in their own home (like growing and using entheogens) and not let corporations run the state suddenly equals “they just want to date kids.”
Astroturfing works. It’s especially effective when you can do it to an entire new generation, all at the same time.
No one here mentioned pedophilia until you brought it up justsayin
No, the commenter who mentioned being libertarian just got -18 votes for a valid and pretty universal opinion, with the next comment being
Funny enough, I recognize the user who’s comment I quoted as the poster of one of the most ridiculous shittakes I’ve seen in recent weeks.
However, pedophilia is typically brought up within 2-3 comments when someone says they’re a libertarian. That’s not to say it’s the only thought terminator people use. Seems now all they need to say is
thought terminated. downvote indiscriminately.
Wow, another good one. You people are amazing.
Some people openly call themselves marxist-leninists in here too so I thought I’d join their “never take what these guys say seriously” club.
Well then I guess it’s good people aren’t taking you seriously.

If we had a forced and honest age & intellect number by each username, the numbers you’d most commonly see are 13-23 and 80-110.
Don’t worry, you’re talking with teenagers and college freshmen that know everything on every topic. They can’t name 3 aspects of an ideology they claim to represent but that’s besides the point. ChatGPT will hallocunate it for them so we can get even more chuckles.
well, considering you are a libertarian, you don’t have a good track record of understanding reality
Oh, good one.
look, I can’t help that it’s an economic ideology based mainly on a few works of fiction that involve “the parasites are the only thing preventing the Übermensch of creating a pepetomobile”
You’re thinking of objectivism.
libertarianism is mostly based on economic objectivism.
It’s like socialists and socioeconomics.
the primary difference being one based on a dialectic analysis of how economics function, leading to what we consider modern economic theory, and the other based on the fantasies of a deeply traumatized woman.
