I don't understand
The account Taylor Swift Updates is run by an Israeli girl that went to prison rather than serve in the IDF
https://twitter.com/jvplive/status/1378048793950646274
Never thought I'd call a swifty based
Good for her!
Why was she suspended on Twitter?
They don't let you use twitter in Israeli prison, afaik.
No clue, sorry.
I am surprised anyone would actually put someone in jail for draft-dodging in this age. Even countries that haven't banned conscription yet should have the sense not to make celebrities of those who refuse. The Swiss system (higher tax for refusing) seems more reasonable.
Higher tax for refusing seems like your giving rich people a pass. Unless it was really graduated to take a much higher percentage of higher income?
The Swiss rich are already taxed, this would make that higher. Hell most countries tax based on income and iirc the Swiss do to.
Obviously, but the question is what rate would be fair for what incomes/wealth. Because the target would be that the wealth distribution of those passing would be roughly the same as the wealth distribution in the country.
I wonder what https://twitter.com/LegitTayUpdates did to get their account suspended?
Probably kept reposting Chocolate Rain.
The IDF is the Israeli Defense Force, the main military arm of the fascist Israeli government.
Hamas is bad too before some ass comes along and yells "antisemitism" cause I said Israel sucks.
Still factually wrong. The IDF ist Israels military, independent from whether there are currently fascists in the government
Your formulation implies
While the first one is debatable, the second one is just plain wrong.
Finally! A comment that gives out the full name of this stupid abbreviation
Honestly it should be common decency to put the full expanded name if you're the first one to say it.
I didn't even know what it meant, because abbreviations are fucking stupid
IDF reservists actually took the step of protesting against the government over recent proposed changes to weaken their Supreme Court. (Source)
Not what you'd expect "a bunch of fascists" to do. Nearly every Israeli citizen has mandatory military service.
Surely you're not labelling an entire population based on the actions of their government?
It turns out you don't need to be a card carrying true believer in fascism to be a fascist. All you gotta do is stand by while the fascists do what they want.
Protesting is nice, i guess, but characterizing the Israeli government as "fascist" is pretty fair.
Preemptive centrism I like it
"War crimes are always bad no matter who commits them" is centrism?
Any sane opinion is centrism and somehow bad. You are only allowed to commit genocides here!
Centrism is selling guns to both sides.
I understand your apprehension to centrism as it tries to normalize uneven sides, but to answer your question yes. The bare definition of centrism is that you don't align with either side.
I don't think it's centrist to say Fascism and Terrorism are both bad.
Although I suppose "shitty people are shit" is neither a left wing or right wing take, so maybe it is.
Frankly, centrism is fine in situations like this where both sides are so blatantly evil.
There are lots of situations where it's okay to sit on the fence. Centrism is only a problem when it's pathologic.

There is no situation where centrism is not fine, lol. The only people who dislike centrists are extremists and fanatics.
While both of them have committed atrocities, the only reason Hamas has the power and influence it has because the Palestinian people are facing a genocide if they do nothing.
If you look at the recent history of the middle east you would quickly see that you don't need to be on the brink of genocide to elect terrorists into government. Ideology and brainwashing is one hell of a drug
If you look at the recent history of gestures broadly
Hell no, I'm just not some delusional chronically online tankie that'll cheer on the deaths of hundreds of civilians. I'm an anarchist. Ideally there'd be no nations to fight over or religions to fight about anymore, but we don't live in that reality. Hamas committed a massive atrocity. Israel has repeatedly committed atrocities by murdering tens of thousands of civilians
