That's interesting. Like it seems that, like most people, he had a complex relationship with his heritage and the way it manifested in the world. But what's especially telling is despite him making the antisemitic comment about breaking of the 1973 ceasefire it turns out he gave them the green light to break it, so that makes it seem like that comment might've just been an act for the benefit of others. Saying the equivalent of 'Oh lawd, those silly Israelis are breaking ceasefires again', etc, to conceal or misdirect from his involvement in giving them the go-ahead.

But also this isn't particularly relevant to the joke I was making. Which is that Israel calls anything said or done against Jewish people for any reason antisemitism, so I was turning that back on Israel for doing/saying things against a Jew. It's funny regardless of Kissinger's relationship with his ethnicity/religion or Israel because it's about Israel, not Kissinger.

I sadly don't think that's the case. I still talk to people every day who are parroting 50s-era anti-communist propaganda straight from the mouth of the CIA unironically. Circumstances may be dire, that I don't dispute, but I feel like they're going to have to be considerably worse before most people are willing to overcome their indoctrinated bias and start considering alternatives that don't involve 'maybe make capitalism suck a little less?'

Kissinger was Jewish, so that was antisemitism. That's how it works (according to Israel), any political statement or action made against anyone who is Jewish is antisemitism, right? :P

Hmm, someone call maga a waaaaahmbulance, it's nappy time.

I mean it's definitely both, but the fashy admins were the last straw.

If you feel like hunting for it I'd be happy to look at it, but I'm not gonna go digging in your posts for who knows how long to find it.

Yep, entirely fair. S'why I left.

I'm not complaining about people leaving, just saying the bots are not the biggest problem.

Oh no doubt, everybody had some kooky ideas.

Positively giddy. :)

The Navy cooked up all sorts of whack-a-doodle ideas that didn't have a chance in hell of being feasible, much less useful, but that's definitely the silliest I've seen in a while.

You're right, relative density and the chemical composition necessary to oxidize fuel combustion definitely are irrelevant, thanks for reminding me!

Ohhh, shit, my bad. I hadn't seen that.

That's fair, it just seems like that if they're going down the list of problems looking for things they can do to make reddit a better place, it doesn't make sense to not start at the top.

I agree that's definitely the case, but I think the problem here is that most Americans can't tell minorities apart, they see brown skin and assume. I once watched a grown adult yell 'Mexican go home' to a Pakistani couple, and this sort of thing is far too common.

Yeah it's definitely the bots and not the fashy admins that drove me away from reddit.

Why are you replying to someone else and pinging me? I'm just making a silly joke over here.

To the best of my knowledge the navy has never flown a plane underwater. If I'm wrong about that then please do enlighten me, I'd love to read that shit.

Plane not fly in water, plane fly in air.

It was just a half-assed attempt to provide an example, I'm just a dude on the internet who doesn't write headlines all day, I'm sure someone who does could come up with something better.
