getting called an israel lover isn't as bad as getting called a communist but it's basically as bad. if we just nuked russia and israel there would be peace in the world. china would be totally fine if they stopped manifest destinying but trump is basically just giving them permission with his behavior so

@shibao nuking Russia gives me only a little pause but not near much as it would even a year ago.

@awl@shitposter.world it's because they have their entire cock and balls inside the us apparatus. china's cock and balls are in our apparatus because we sold out to them, that's our problem more than it is theirs. but literally they'd be blameless if they gave up on taiwan and the south china sea

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz i don't think ethnostates with nukes are an improvement. we went to war with germany for trying to build an ethnostate but we're totally fine with israel doing the same thing. israel's nukes should go to taiwan

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @awl@shitposter.world oh yeah def. unfortunately that's probably not going to happen so you're right that china will probably never turn around until another world war breaks out. yeesh

@shibao most states are ethnostates, with a majority culture, religion, and ethnic group that dominates. its wrong to single out one of them. also I think no one should have nukes.

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz ethnostate is different than just having a majority ethnicity, in this case the state we're talking about is bombing and bulldozing palestine so they can turn into isreal. it makes china's tibet and uyghers look like childs play

@shibao youre right that Israels conduct makes chinas look mild, but Jews are still indigenous to Palestine, they should just share the land with others. and there are more "ethnostates" by your definition than you know, states with laws of return, official language, official religion, etc. and don't forget israel has armenians, druze, samaritans, and other ethnic groups, not just arabs who feel (are) disenfranchised.

@georgia @shibao Jews as a whole aren't a single ethnicity and aren't indigenous anywhere, it's too vague a category

The specific type of Jew I am is indigenous to central Europe, formed the money caste of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, invented the hydrogen bomb, and speaks Yiddish

@scathach @shibao thats just not true, genetic studies on Jews find a common Levantine paternal origin that predates the diaspora. this has always been the jewish understanding of ourselves as well. youre a fool if you think any jews are indigenous to central Europe, and they certainly werent treated that way. its a totally different ethnicity.

@georgia @shibao "Jews" is a hundred different ethnicities pretending to be the same thing

We've diverged so much since the diaspora and the fall of the second temple that any claim to the old kingdom of Judea is completely absurd; genetics is irrelevant

There hasn't been a Jewish homeland in two thousand years and never will be again

@scathach @shibao funny how you think dwelling amongst the gentiles for a time makes us effectively a gentile ethnic group but you dont think different "jewish ethnicities" dwelling together as a common nation would make us a new Israel. personally I believe that a national understanding of ourselves as one people + common preservation of the Israelite language and religion + genetics makes a very compelling case that we are as we always said we were. but to each their own.

@georgia @shibao Building a unified Jewish nation would be pretty cool if it didn't require genocide to make it happen

@shibao Nuke:
-Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sevastopol
-NY, DC, LA, SF
-Israel
-London
-Paris
-Delhi
-Beijing

And now you actually have positive peace in the world. If you nuke Russia and Israel but leave the US with the ability to make war, they'll just keep starting shit as they have always done since the world wars. The libertarian leaning USA of the early days does not exist anymore.

@georgia @shibao The main difference between world wars and Israel-led wars is that the former were wars where the participants were fighting for their own interests, not just shedding blood for someone else's interest with no possible gain to themselves.

@georgia @shibao Your own people's rich and powerful =/= someone else's rich and powerful who actively separate themselves from you and consider themselves a separate cultural and ethnic group.

This applies as much to Israel/USA jews now as it applied to Norman rulers in England or Spartan elite in Greece.

@georgia Well, argue your point, I'm willing to hear you. I do think the separation between social status within a same national group that identifies itself primarily as said national group is much smaller than social status separation+active identification as a separate group. That's why I put up Sparta as an example, since their ruling and warrior castes actively considered themselves a ruling conquering minority in the region, separate from the land and people they ruled over. In the latter case, there's no motivation other than overlapping short term economic interest to pursue the wellbeing of the ruled. In the former, there is.

@georgia @shibao @scathach The British (evn if evil as always) had a self-interested justification in attacking Germany before Germany outdid them industrially and destroyed their empire as a collateral effect of their own growing industrial and naval capacity. It was evil shit, but it was profitable evil shit. Consequentially, Germany had an interest in self-defense against the British desire to sabotage or stop its growth.

@shibao @georgia an ethnostate is a ideology that an nation can follow.

a nation can be ethnically homogenous whilst not being a ethnostate.
