    Spoken like a true bigot. Good luck with that 👍

    A predictive model is only as accurate as it’s underlying assumptions. Leftists are floundering on the Palestine issue because they don’t actually want to understand the opposing side. They’re just chasing the dopamine rush of feeling like they’re right, always - kind of like religious fundamentalists.

    You’ve gone from “the Christian right only believes this because” to “quite a few weirdos I have met personally”, and I’m the one doing mental acrobatics?

    You’re painting with the same broad brush right wingers do when they say all leftists are gay furry terrorists.

    Do you want to understand your enemy, or just demonize them?

    Tell that to northern Ireland, Scotland, Gibraltar, French Guiana or Polynesia.

    Both countries still have overseas territories all over the world. It doesn’t matter how hard you, they or anyone else tries to legitimize those colonies, that’s still what they are.

    Why were the French using the Polynesian islands as nuclear testing grounds up through 1996? Would the French government be so lax with testing in their own country? No - that’s why they did it in a colony with 200,000 brown people instead.

    That sentence takes away agency from those European “vassals”. The British and French empires still exist to this day. They conduct their own foreign policy and are in charge of their own internal security and territorial integrity.

    The person you’re responding to is absolutely right.
