  • We felt poorer, so economists should be lynched!

    The contrast between people’s experiences in their everyday lives and what politicians or experts say is important.

    If the economy is supposedly doing great but I can afford less and less and my life gets worse, that’s a contradiction.

    The USA is moving more to something like the gilded age with more wealth disparity, more suffering for the poor, more violence.

    The anti-intellectualism and anti-elitism of the cultural revolution was far more extreme. You are right that there are some similar ideas brewing.

    When the political and economic system is no longer delivering for the population, it will turn against the (perceived) leaders. Trump and the right spins this very well by directing the anger against „woke“ liberal academics, foreigners, and away from the billionaires.

    The „woke“ elites are also in crisis. The Democratic Party is in shambles.

  • often people know that, for example, elections are fraudulent, but they are too scared to say anything

    People might vaguely understand that elections don't produce good outcomes or have systemic bias. That’s then condensed to „elections are rigged“, regardless of the facts and details.

    Most people know little about most things. It’s difficult to even have good fundamentals about most things in our complex world. So people will defer to their personal experience and information seeped into their minds by osmosis/exposure.

    Things like an economy or political system are extremely complex already and not fully understood even by experts.

  • Hamas routinely calls for killing all Israelis and Jews. It’s in their charter as well.

    Hamas are Islamist fanatics first and foremost. They don’t give a shit about the lives or wellbeing of Palestinians. Holy war for Islamic domination is their goal. Destruction of Israel and expulsion of Jews is just the first step in their ideological goal.

    Hamas had a whole conference about what they would do after their victory against Israel.

    15 In dealing with the Jewish settlers on Palestinian land, there must be a distinction in attitude towards the following]: a fighter who must be killed; a Jew] who is fleeing and can be left alone or be prosecuted for his crimes in the judicial arena; and a peaceful individual who gives himself up and can be either] integrated or given time to leave.

    Except they also want to enslave the useful Jews for a while.

    16 Educated Jews and experts in the areas of medicine, engineering, technology, and civilian and military industry should be retained in Palestine] for some time and should not be allowed to leave and take with them the knowledge and experience that they acquired while living in our land and enjoying its bounty, while we paid the price for all this in humiliation, poverty, sickness, deprivation, killing and arrests.

    Hamas has nothing to do with liberation. Palestinians will never be free under Hamas rule.

  • It becomes a problem when pro Palestinians are purely anti Israel. The destruction of Israel is routinely demanded, which would mean death and displacement for half the world’s Jews.

    A truly pro Palestinian position would also be against the religious fanatics of Hamas and their disregard for the wellbeing of Palestinians.
