>>2313621>>2315906>You put up an image of an actual Maoist.i was just using it as a reaction pic, not asserting anything about the "majority" of black people which is what you are doing.
All I said was
<Have you taken a survey of all black people? I think you might be overstating your case.A question you didn't answer. Reminder that a question is not a contrary assertion.
>>2315955>american capitalists do get benefits from this relationship because israel is a massive trading partner>>2315959>Israel doesn't produce anything, its "trade" is largely just a welfare state funded by American taxes.>>2315964>but muh soda streamI think this argument that Israel doesn't make anything is wrong, it's actually much darker and eviler than that. Israel a major research & development hub for weapons, and is very closely interlinked with the American military-industrial complex, so there's a lot of joint research between Israeli and American MIC firms. The military aid to Israel also acts as an indirect subsidy to the U.S. MIC because it's conditioned on buying American bombs and airplane components and other things. I think there's a lot of military stuff that also doesn't get mentioned a lot like radars and software (because it's boring), but I think is important and involves a lot of money. Missile defense. Point-defense laser weapons to shoot down drones. I think part of another reason for this is because the U.S. MIC moves rather slowly while Israel tends to rush and adopt weapons much faster, so it works as a sort of IRL laboratory tested on human beings.
>>2315971I get too paranoid.
>>2315991The way Muslims avoid charging interest is hilarious. They will sell you the loan essentially at a far higher price that you will owe them. So they technically didn't charge accruing interest but you paid a big upsell cost of the loan amount
Samething
>>2316002Zoomers are such a failed generation.
When we read it in the 00's everyone just giggled at being allowed to say a slur and then we moved on and it stopped being funny once the themes of the book became clear.
>>2315521I would also compare to the similar situation of networked reaction in Korea. More paranoidly, it's the colonial boomerang coming home to the Anglosphere.
