They fixate on presumption and emotion because they cannot engage with intellectual debate.
People usually have an emotional standpoint first and then construct an intellectual argument for that emotional position. Also they mostly just ignore facts, that do not line up with their world view and if you “win” an argument, they usually just shut you out. So the best way is to go for emotions first.
There are something like 100k Israelis who are still alive and survived the Holocaust. That is mostly just due to the Holocaust ending over 80years ago and people die of old age.
Honestly I dislike the constant Holocaust comparisons. They play into Israeli propaganda, as the connection between Israel and Jews is very obvious and Jews were the victims of the Holocaust. That makes Israel look like a victim just defending itself.

World News@lemmy.world•Trump says U.S. will blockade Strait of Hormuz and intercept ships that paid tolls to IranEnglish

68.4% of Japans population lives in cities(50k+), whereas only 40% of Europes population does that. Not to mention the rural population(below 5000) is nearly three times higher in Europe.

It is United Mexican States so it would be UMS

World News@lemmy.world•The deal maker makes his worst deal yetEnglish
12·11 days agoIf the US leaves NATO, it would be even better. Seriously that would clean up a lot. Also the US bases in Germany are legally NATO bases, so they loose their biggest bomber base doing that.

16·11 days agoWe kind of know how Trump sees international agreements. I very much doubt any such deal is actually going to last, especially with Israel really wanting to bomb Iran.

202·11 days agoObama was black. It was therefore obvious that his Iran deal was worse then what Trump come up with /s
Obviously it takes time until it is fully implemented and missiles take some time to reach Israel from Iran.

Technology@lemmy.world•Internet shutdown in Iran is now the longest in world historyEnglish
2·11 days agoA good chunk of the Iranian diaspora are the old supporters of the monarchy. Under the Shah Iran and Israel were allies. Also a lot of Iranians are strongly racist against Arabs. The fact that a lot of Arabs killed family members, when Iraq invaded them in 1980 and an eight year long bloody war followed, certainly does not help.
Not saying Israels genocide is a good thing, but the Iranian diaspora is probably a bad gauge to judge Iran by.

11·17 days agoOh sorry dollar, I thought you meant RMB, because you wrote so much about China, and just miss wrote that. Also most stuff is not made in China. Share of global GDP of China is like 20% or so.

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•Trump claims Iran war will end in ‘two or three weeks’ and says he is ‘strongly considering’ pulling out of NatoEnglish
3·18 days agoPretty sure the door will be fine.





























It is honestly surprising, that it took so long. China is a massive country, with a large economy. They should be an absolute leader in exporting cultural products. Especially since China inherited Hong Kongs massive movie industry, which decline after the hand over.
