    Compromising with fascists never works out, because the second you give anything less than 100% support, they treat you like You’ve always been mortal enemies.

    But moderates are constantly re-enacting Charlie Brown going for a fieldgoal

        Does calling Netanyahu ‘Bibi’ put a bad taste in anyone else’s mouth? I know people are trying to emasculate him a lot of the time, but it feels like calling Hitler ‘Addy’.

          I feel the same way. He’s not my friend and he’s not a cute kid or something. He’s a genocidal war criminal.

          It’s situational. When he’s acting like a child it’s fun to bring a little levity to the conversation and mock “strong man” politicians. Treating him like a petulant child When he whines about fairness etc. Doesn’t take away from the genocide of it all. I think we’re intelligent enough to not get lost in the nuance.
