In my mind, a colony is a colony no matter how you slice it up…even if Israel agreed to cede the West Bank, there’s enough evidence to conclude that a two-state solution simply won’t work in the long run.
I don’t think any solution will work in the long run.

people have been fighting over that land for centuries and the fighting only really stopped when some powerful empire conquered it

Jesus tapdancing Christ…first of all, they made Fred and Mary look WAY too human, which is wild considering how everyone else here looks like their faces are either about to melt or just started doing so…Junior and Eric don’t even make an appearance, would love for that to be the case in real life (not like their dad even remembers they exist)…and I love how both Donnie AND “Meelan” gave birth to Tiffany 31 years apart :luffylaugh::rolaugh::kailaugh:
i would totally agree with this if the area wouldnt previously have been "the british mandate of palestine" with, towards its end, a very clear goal to make it a safe haven for jews, who initialy accepted a two state solution, with palestinians and basically all surrounding countries waging war on them one day after forming.
Sure, but don’t get it twisted, the Brits have no real love for my people either after they kicked us out of the country for a good 350 years…and talk about colonizers! No other nation has a richer tradition of stealing other peoples’ land and treasures than those limey fucks, they only support Israel because they stand to profit off it like America does :stealthblack:
 
He always brings up one piece in political discussions

The manga made by the guy who never read a single philosophical book all his life
It almost feels like logiko just bases his political alignments on random fictional works he likes at this point
He seems to have a very primitive view of the world in general and acts like nothing bad should ever happen no matter what
It's weird.
 
you’re French, right? Imagine what would have happened if you let the Germans conquer your country in World War II.

not all those German soldiers were Nazis, not all of them were bad people. Many of them were just ordinary folks roped into a war by a corrupt and evil government.

but your ancestors still needed to kill those men for you to have the freedoms you currently have.
In this case the choice is completely ethical one person is about to kill the others

So of course I would act.

You would benefit from a lesson or two from the guy mate lol


Just note, for clarification that i'm not talking about a case where the one person is a "horrible person" anymore. Just a simple rando (or even someone you care about perhaps) AGAINST multiple billion people

Well, if we reduce this issue. You will see that some of the character in OP are making a real choice and it's not the one of the group. As in reality, in the case of OP, the group is INCLUDED in the choice and action of the person.

I never told you that the billion of people were not included in your action. In reality, the best choice is to consider the agency of the person in the problem, on both sides of the balance.

This is what Oda does in One Piece. The characters break the troley problem by including character into the choice and targeting the real problem : the one who pushed the choices on the character.

And this is what I'm telling you to do here.


Stop looking at the balance
Stop weighting the lives of people as if one person is worth more than two

Consider the agency of all the person as their agency might make the difference and target the real problem:

- Not individual behaviors
- Not bad apples
- Not extremely sociopathic people
(even tho these three must be taken into account)

But the system that pushes you to consider some people as more human than others.
When in reality, we are all humans and we are all potentially capable of doing horrible things in horrible circumstances.

It doesn't mean forgiving people. It means knowing what to do to create a society where those behavior won't appear.

I'm using OP because it's a OP forum and I need to find a way to vulgarize complexe stuff to people who can't even understand the concept of systemism and domination systems. I know people forget it sometimes, but it's important

We won't build paradise on fatalism and sarcasm.
 
Ottoman Palestine was pretty deadly, so were the Mamluks Caliphates and Roman Eras

The Romans genocided the Samaritans after they genocided the Jews lol
People will die over that land till the sun explodes

how do you feel about the allies invading Germany to overthrow the Nazis

and the fact that innocent German women and children died in that invasion. Ally leaders knew innocent Germans would probably die, they just inevitably calculated that the sacrifice was worth it.
 
Logiko is a hardcore materialist that doesnt accept any deviation from what he believes. He once claimed that anyone who had a bad encounter with cops wouldnt become one themselves yet here I am. He didn't like that response.
Fuck the police but we legit need them so whatever

I don't think war was ever portrayed as a good/neutral thing though
Yes it has lol
 
Look at the all the pro war movies during any major war. Also see societies such as the Spartans which glorified wars

Obviously, at my core, I don’t WANT my people to always be nomads, but we’ve just taken over previously established land for 80 years, they can’t reasonably sell a sob story about needing a consistent base while driving out the natives :sanmoji:
80 years is a lot tho, at some point you have to give up on reclaiming an entire area and kicking out the people who curtently live there

I don't know. I don't have all the contextual informations. And my political brain is not always coherent. Killing innocent german would be unethical. The question is "was it necessary" ? I don't know.. I was not there. But if it was done today.. I would do it differently yes.. to a certain point.

Nah.. and this is why it's so cruel but also so interesting. War is not rational and not really ethical or justifiable. There is always a better solution. but in this context... the choices become strange. This is why we must be 1000 time more careful.

Nah. There is no "we need them". We don't.

This is why a one state solution is the best option. Of course sending people away is useless and will only create horrible situations and precarity.

But there is a way to make everyone coexist on a shared land.

One state solution is ideal but neither party wants it. It’s best to just get a Palestinian state and try to mend relations between both nations which hopefully overtime can lead to an unified state, or at least a one state two nations thing

I mean, sure, but the vast majority of people see war as a terrible thing.
