  • I get it, i know how it is. I’m an Israeli anarchist, you can tell by a previous post and my user name.

    I’m making a bit of a fuss over it because i find this trend within myself, having grown up in a nationalist family and a religious school, i tend to say those words as instinct as well and am trying to unlearn this behavior.

    I grew up as an edgy teen as well so i guess i can relate, but now I’m intp young adulthood and trying to be better to not repel potential friends.



  • That’s a hard question to answer in short, I will try my best to not waste your time.

    I’m going to assume you know the flaws of the system in which we live, so as to not give you a wall of text give you less of a wall of text.

    In short, right now is not a good time to answer that, kind of like trying to prepare for a future (uncertain) update in software, you’ll most likely find yourself in different condition than the ones you were expecting, making the work you did obsolete.

    Instead, we should lay the groundwork for solutions by building community, unionizing, and just trying to make our own material conditions, in which, the “kind” of solutions we’d like to see could be invented.

    This answer is kinda “in order to bake an apple pie, you need to invent the universe”, but this is not to say that this is a bad question.

    We could look to the past, in order to see how other societies faced with this and try to learn why and what can be improved, but we should not be too early to answer this just yet.

    Hope this answer isn’t unsatisfying, took me a few tries to get it as short as it is now.






  • Not the OP, but sadly, the israeli state has a vested interest in supporting rabbis like him who act as an arm of extreme statist propaganda.

    Even though the “disciples” of these kinds of rhetoric are not likely to serve in the military, they will egg on the existing population and do their spiel of making bullshit stories up.

    And while I’d love to be in a position to go all “not all of us are like that”, and while I’m aware there are some Israelis who fight to get food in gaza, my entire family and most of my friends and colleagues spout this kind of extreme rhetoric, and i honestly feel like I’m slowly losing my mind over it.

    There is not much willing in any community, and not much hope anything will change internally for the time being.
