Wym? Am I missing something? Either should work, right? I am most familiar with it described as Fourier analysis which to me is synonymous with analysis in the frequency domain.
You're putting words in my mouth. I am not claiming democracy led to Israeli zionism. I am claiming that liberalism did.
Make no mistake: I am not attempting to conflate democracy and capitalism. I am making the claim that the two are incompatible. If anyone is trying to conflate capitalism and democracy, it is you.
I'm not going to get into the weeds with you about how democratic Israel is, but it's clear to anyone with a basic understanding of liberalism that Israel is indeed a country based on liberalism values.
The values espoused in Israeli basic law are textbook liberalism:
protection of private property
protection of personal liberties
freedom of movement
Supreme rule of law
guarantees of no violations of enshrined rights
Israel is a textbook liberal state, and its withering down to fascism has already been predicted by leftist theory. Make a venn diagram of the values espoused in Israel's basic laws and values promoted in classic liberalism, and you have a circle.
Try to understand the article i referenced earlier, which is the crux of my argument. Liberalism enables fascism.
If you think the issue lies in one bombastic and opportunistic president, and not our deity-like elevation of these lifetime-appointed robed clerics who are the only ones we entrust to interpret the constitution as if they have some divine patriotism, then you have been oriented by the democratic party away from what would otherwise be discontentment with the political system, and instead against the republican party which, as it just so happens, makes you fall in line with the democratic party and their fundraising strategies. The democrats desperately want you to ignore the gaping insecurities, volatility, and exploitation in our political system and instead instill a fear of Republicans.
Trump merely saw how easy it'd be to capture our judicial system that was devised by 20 year old white slavers only 4 generations ago. He correctly identified how the Supreme law of the land is all based on a flimsy interpretation of the honor system: we appoint justices for life and basically just trust them to play nice for their entire tenure without provisions to deal with judicial capture. It's honestly a miracle we've gotten this far without more judges being captured.
What kind of thinking is this? That it's better to lose as long as you have the moral high ground? Maybe that thinking works for little league, but not when healthcare, women's rights, and climate are on the line.
"Sure the fascist uprising happened in record time, but at least we put it on the record that the fascists have occasional issues with intellectual honesty!"
Only in the liberal mindset does intellectual honesty come with more primacy than physically protecting people who are actually vulnerable.
The fact that it appears we are 1 or 2 years away from door-to-door gestapo visits, and liberals are still circle jerking about their epic, pragmatic, civil, patriotic, "play by the rules" mindset, means we are most likely doomed.
You can body shame fascists until the cows come home. Still won't do jack shit. The only winning strategy is violence.
Would you call a fascist the R word? How about the N word? If you found a fascist in a wheelchair, would you start talking up low blows? Leftist ought to see no utility in body shaming, we are above that. It doesn't work anyway.
This journalist just gave us a masterclass in everything you shouldn't do when interacting with nazis: appeals to logic, appeals to emotion, bringing up facts and logic, and ultimately platforming them. This is the kind of liberalism that promotes fascism. There is no excuse to give fascists time on TV and to platform them. There is no "debating" fascists. There is only violence.
Are body cams really providing justice? Where is Sonya's justice? Hailing body cams as the ultimate police reform is the type of thing I'd expect a cop to say. For people who have been experiencing this racist police violence for generations, it's clear that body cams are at best a half measure, and at worst a means of documenting all of the brutal murders that pigs continue to carry out on innocent people while body cams are running. The answer isn't in body cams, but in comprehensive police reform. So long as the pigs are running around with sus norse tattoos, toxic masculinity ("nah im good" -cop who just developed a tremor in has hand after holding in the brains of a gasping woman for 5 min), guaranteed firearms, no psychological training, gang support via departments, body cams aren't really going to do shit to protect at-risk people.
I am very critical of this ultra pro body cam discourse. It seems like a distraction. Make no mistake, there is no justice today because of the body cams present for Sonya's execution.
Idk what "free and open" internet you're talking about. All I see is a one massive advertisement that requires me to sell my soul away every time I want to sign up for something.
Bruh, why are you getting excited about the idea of crusty old genocidal American beaurocrats who inevitably sell out? No US senator is a friend of mine.

Show me where Putin claimed he'd take Kyiv in 3 days.
