    Israel is currently on an absolutely bloodthirsty genocide bender right about now. The fact that it doesn’t give two shits about women’s rights is quite a bit further down the priority list from where it doesn’t give two shits about life in general, and is violently unaliving most everyone not like them in the region

    Pretty ironic, actually.

    Males bullying females is the “wedge” that they use to get far-right totalitarianism’s basis in…

    It’s consistent, through different cultures, & it may be hardwired in our limbic system: bullying women is the basis for male-fascism-totalitarianism.

    Counter it XOR fail the Great Filter, humankind…

    Having-exterminated-ourselves is a “valid” choice, in Universe’s Natural Selection’s eyes…

    Women’s rights are on a sharp decline in Israel.

    Yeah, that’ll happen in a patriarchal theocracy.

    Once they’ve killed all the Palestinians and journalists, the IDF will need someone new to shoot

      You joke but this is why fascism isn’t sustainable. You always need a scapegoat and eventually your gonna run out of them as you make your population more and more uniform.

        No you don’t run-out:

        Factionalism will always provide more “enemies” for that-Way.


        “Corps Business: the 30 Management Principles of the US Marines” identified something in our nature, in 1 of the principles:

        IF you just keep accumulating people, in say a village, or orgnaization, there is a point around 150-people, where factionalism sets-in.

        Al Gore & Associates ( Goretex ) intentionally limits the parking-lot size, so that when it’s visible that there are now enough people working at a site, that some are parking on the lawn, then they need another site.

        Militaries all 'round the world have a 150-person “company” or equivalent, but not a 200-person one…


        Even if some rabid ideology exterminates all “others”, then it’ll fractally divide-up & begin its civil-war, because factionalism is intrinsic to our unconscious-minds…

        That’d be true for all except people who trained to dismantle unconscious-narcissism from their unconscious-mind’s ruling-of-their-life…

        & nobody I’ve encountered has earned that, except perhaps the Society of Believers ( the Shakers ) community it the US ( @ Sabbath Day Lake, iirc: Christians: they identify that THE primary cause of people not-staying is “too much community” ).

      I’m sure they’re efficient enough that they can start shooting new groups before they’re completely finished the previous groups.

      When they’re done raping all the women and young girls of Palestine, they’ll turn their rape spree onto Israeli women and young girls.

      I wonder how all these pick me bitches openly supporting the IDF will twist the narrative for it.

      I don’t know that I’d include judaism on a list of “three major religions.” Hinduism and buddhism have much better claims on being in the top three.

      You’re not calling Judaism a major religion are you?

      Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, have billions of followers each. Judaism has a few million.

        It has influence disproportionate to the number of followers. (But Hinduism and Buddhism should be ahead of it anyway, this is a very Western perspective)

            Most Jews in Israel are Atheists. That’s not even close to correct.

            Most surveys suggest that roughly 15-25% of Jewish Israelis do not believe in God or describe themselves as atheists or convinced non‑believers, depending on wording and methodology.

              Zionism is the abandonment of the Torah by saying the Messiah will lead the Jews to the promises land and instead doing it themselves.

              “God” for Israelis means “Jewish people”. They are their own God.

        There is the whole myth that ancient people couldn’t see the colour blue. But that was because they didn’t have a distinct word for it that didn’t include other shades like purple.

          I think, technically speaking due to Rayleigh Scattering and the nature of our sun, the sky wouldn’t be blue if it weren’t for the composition of our atmosphere — if I’m remembering correctly. So the sky could potentially be a different color with a different atmosphere, or at least we would perceive it that way (we are also sensitive to the color blue, so it is easier to see).

          Idk, this has led to many more questions than I anticipated. I guess if you’re very strict about the light not being a part of the atmosphere due to scattering then it is not blue. Other factors like clouds, fog, smog, obviously play a part.

            I can’t understand why Rayleigh Scattering is presumed to be the only reason our sky is blue.

            Oxygen’s blue!

            Isn’t there enough oxygen in our atmosphere to affect its apparent-color??

    I mean I get that’s bad, and it’s definitely a sign of civilization regressing, and with each step backwards, we continue to inch towards the day where we finally topple any evidence of progress that has been built, and we’re lucky if we can even hold it together enough to emerge from the ashes of modern society as feral bands of mud people with some chance of perhaps one day making it back to this same point in another 2000 years or so.

    But, is the “loss of women’s rights” perhaps offset by the privilege of knowing that even if you lose your rights, you can still be shitty to people of a different ethnicity without concern of public judgment or accountability for your shitty behavior? And if so, isn’t that what freedom is all about?
