Zionists have the self awareness of a fucking goldfish with no eyes. Misinformation? Really? That’s like your entire shtick. If Israel didn’t constantly lie and spread misinformation they would have nothing to hide behind.

Passive, meek and nice people don’t tend to do well in the military/police.
Your job is literally to hurt people when necessary, without hesitation.
It takes a certain type of person to do jobs like that and the thing is… you still need people like that for society to function as it does.
Edit: If you are downvoting at least respond.

If a society requires that kind of person to function, it should be society that is questioned, not people unwilling to abide by it

A benevolent peace loving world where there is no conflict or violence doesn’t exist in the animal kingdom/nature/etc, so why would it exist in human society either?
Has there ever been a society or will there ever be one where spontaneous violence does not break out occasionally? Will there ever be a society where there isn’t someone out there that wants what you have and isn’t afraid to use force to get it?
Maybe there will be, but it won’t be a human society I know that much.

u/happy_grump Canada Apr 13 '24
"Humans have a tendency towards violence, and some people will use force to take what they want even in a peaceful world, therefore we need to allow a class of person that has rights above those of a normal citizen whose only job is to brutalize people with very little oversight in the name of making life easier and more organized for white collar parasites"
Flawless, totally not sociopathic thread of logic there bud

u/Free-Perspective1289 Apr 13 '24
There are plenty of examples of countries that don’t have effective law and order. Look at countries in Africa, Mexico, Latin/South America.
People have to resort to vigilante justice and public lynchings in order to get “justice”. They are also extremely violent places, with little to no consequences for violent, if anything they reward violence by being a survival of the fittest situation.
The countries that are the most peaceful have effective law and order where the government provides that mandate to protect citizens from banditry and violence, or at least provided consequences for it. Again it’s not hard to find examples of places that don’t have this and let me give you a hint, they aren’t nice places to live.

The UK has a policy of policing by public consent (Peelian principles based on an ethical police force) and the police are on the whole not militaristic nor thuggish. Of course you get those who are criminal (murderers, rapists, corrupt) and racial profiling still exists, but having moved to Germany from the UK, the difference came as a surprise. The UK has an independent police complaints commission to investigate police brutality and keep oversight, Germany does not. Amnesty has also reported on the erosion of civil liberties in the country.

They also stopped Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitti (UK citizen) from attending the conference to talk about what he saw first hand in Gaza during his months of service there... When he landed at airport he was denied entry into Germany, questioned for 3.5 hrs, deported baxb to UK AND threatened with jail time if he speaks via zoom on any conference in April.

We like our police in Singapore, half the force is conscripts who just want it to be over, other half is people who just want a job. Crime is low so our police don’t have much to do, shootings are measured in years per shooting instead of shootings per year. So they just harass political opponents a bit and that’s it.

All in a day's work.

You underestimate their competency and effectiveness. There's an entire segment of the force that are career police officers that deal with the dark underbelly of Singapore that very few Singaporeans know or talk about anymore. It was common knowledge 50 or so years ago but it's been completely whitewashed, as with everything else in Singapore (another tactic out of the Israeli books, I'd say).
Crime in Singapore is low because the who's who in the Singapore Police Force work with gangs and triads to keep disruption of public order at the minimum. It's a case of I'll scratch your back and you don't bother with my illegal business activities. Every once in a while the gangs would throw the police a small fish to catch as a sacrifice to look away for the other 99 that get through.
Not to mention their complicity in all things Israel. There were recently protesters against the Singapore-Israel arms trade, they hung a banner at Gardens by the Bay and are currently "under investigation" by the police. This usually means the police have told them to cease and desist or else.
Add all that to the fact that you don't have a right to a lawyer in Singapore, the police (and by extension, the government) actually have tremendous powers over the societal order, and hence "low crime".

u/GeshtiannaSG Singapore Apr 18 '24
The public is very involved in it, we love snitching, we love seeing others fail, we love catching criminals on the street so that we can whack them a bit before the police come. We have public order because we do like having order.
Gangs are not doing well because crime doesn't pay, to the point they have to actually get late night jobs to get paid, and rivals love sabotaging each other because they love seeing each other fail. All the lupsup places keep getting raided. So why do crime when you can be a property or insurance agent?
I suppose I'm complicit in Israel? I've fired a SPIKE missile, that's a few hundred thousand dollars sent their way. That's not supporting anything, that's just wanting to be friends with everyone, and in Israel's case, seeing some parallels of being surrounded by Muslim-majority countries. And we're buying more from Sweden now so Israel is becoming less important.

u/welcomefinside Apr 18 '24
That's not supporting anything, that's just wanting to be friends with everyone, and in Israel's case, seeing some parallels of being surrounded by Muslim-majority countries.
The parallels run a lot deeper than that. For one, Israel pretty much gave Singapore the handbook of how to build and run a standing military despite their relatively small populations (IDF officers literally trained the first batches of SAF troops). Add to that the deep business and political ties between the countries and the similitude of their geopolitical standing in their respective geographic neighborhoods (and hence institutionalizing the disenfranchisement of the local Malay-Muslim population during the early independence years), I've always believed that Singapore is basically Israel-lite (albeit with a much lower tolerance for violence and bloodshed, instead opting to go all-in on the rules-based order espoused by the West).

u/GeshtiannaSG Singapore Apr 18 '24
We really do just want to be friends with everyone. After independence, one of the first countries we reached out to other than Israel was Japan, the very country that genocided us a bit. The main reason we're an economic powerhouse today is because Japan was so happy that someone wanted to talk to them, that they created our industry for us from the ground up, among other help.

Republicans don’t care about the constitution and have over and over again proven that. Trump says he wants to deport people that are critical of Israel and if he willing to do that they could go much further.
Especially when just today the Republican house passed a bill to continue their ability to spy on Americans without a warrant. They will do what they please and their packed court of activist judges in the Supreme Court will uphold their will.

Trump has been one of the most critical of Israel. His stance is always not being involved and wanting less people be killed, which in this case is alot better than Biden's "ironclad support for Israel"

u/DarkArtHero Apr 13 '24
First of all no need to insult. And second he'll say whatever in order to get votes and from what I've seen he's shown more compassion for victims of both Ukraine/Russia and Palestinians than any other high profile politicians. If your hate for Trump doesn't make you at least realize that then maybe I'm not the one who's head is buried in sand

More compassion for Ukraine? When the guy was president he publicly sided with Putin over accurate US Intelligence and also witheld confressionally approved aid to Ukraine. He previously sided with Russias annexation of Crimea and spread Kremlin talking points.
He has made perfectly clear again and again and again, through his words and his actions, that he cares little for Ukraine and would sooner side with Putin over them. He would gladly shrug his shoulder, accept and recognize Russias land grabs and make the defense of "We aren't starting ww3 over Ukraine."
