    Surprise! Surprise! The elite class who start wars and sent ordinary people to their deaths at the battlefront are draft dodgers!

    I dream of a world where whenever these ‘leaders’ and rulers declare a war, ordinary people on both sides drag them out of their castles, tie them up and throw them in an arena along with sticks, stones, knives and maces. The people can take positions along the gallery of the arena and cheer their leaders on, as the latter fight each other to their deaths. And if they refuse to do so, we can send along some wild lions and elephants for motivation.

        They’re are quick and messy. And someone has to do it. This is way more entertaining and the problem takes care of itself.

          This isn’t and shouldn’t be about entertainment. This should be about equality and fear.

          That and you bet your ass, if someone rolls one in, there will be a crowd with waaaaaay too many people willing to pull the cord.

          People are currently not eating. People are being bombed. People are freezing to death.

          It’s not enough

            This isn’t and shouldn’t be about entertainment. This should be about equality and fear.

            You’re dead serious. I’m joking. It’s not that I take the situation lightly, but it’s a blessing to behave so lightly in such a situation.

            That and you bet your ass, if someone rolls one in, there will be a crowd with waaaaaay too many people willing to pull the cord.

            No need for bets. I’m sure that’s what will happen. The elites know it too and they’re building secret bunkers to escape it. Currently they are stretching the divide and rule tactic as far as it can, by getting the ordinary men and women to fight each other. But they know that it won’t work forever.

            However, I must warn you. The results won’t be as clean and just as you imagine it to be. Angry people yearn for vengeance, not justice. It won’t stop until a lot of innocent blood is also spilt. That’s what happened in the French Revolution too.

            People are currently not eating. People are being bombed. People are freezing to death. It’s not enough

            The same people won’t seek other solutions until a tragedy is inevitable. Whenever I speak a solution that can recover our economy before it goes south, the same ordinary people scoff at me saying it’s wishful thinking, ignoring the fact that it has been implemented successfully several times in the past as a measure of resistance.

      Israeli here. His son gets to live there while he here paid a terrorist organization milliards, took bribes out of said payments, claimed it was not his fault at all when said terrorist organization massacared 1,400 people and that there simply wasn’t anything he could do differently (you see, the left that last ruled the country over 50 years ago and the deep-state the head of intelligence service he himself appointed declared does not exist, simply do not allow him to rule properly. If the Attorney General didn’t object to his dictatorial self-coup, Hamas wouldn’t’ve attacked Israel, it’s all her fault, and that nasty Supreme Court and those Kaplanist hostage liberation protesters that didn’t let him rule properly - if not for them, this time Hamas would be so afraid, he wouldn’t dare attacking us!), …and he continues to this day to claim the afforementioned terrorist organization is the country’s biggest asset in the fight against… the Palestinian Authority, who fought together with Israeli forces against that very same terrorist organization for the entire duration of the war caused by said massacare.

      So yes. His son gets to live over there. With illegally-assigned government protection and allowance, no less.

        Maybe Hamas wouldn’t have attacked Israel, or even existed, if Israel wasn’t violently occupying Palestine

    Controversial opinion: more young Israelis should do what this man is doing. They should say “lol fuck this shit, who wants to be fighting anyway” and move out of Israel. North American and European countries should welcome them with open arms. Anti-aliyah. Who needs a shithole apartheid bunker state anyway? Settlers move out, come live free from that shit and Free Palestine.

        Pedantic Esquire points out the prompt didn’t say the chud themselves has to be the one uttering the phrase. A phrase stated by someone else about the chud still reveals the subject’s chud-ness.

          A phrase uttered by someone else is enough to “instantly reveal” a third party is a Chud? You are easily persuaded.

            You’re putting words in my mouth. I didn’t say “instant” and I didn’t state the general definitiveness off a single comment you are trying to box me in with. “What’s a chud?” “This guy is an example of a chud”. It’s no deeper than that.

            We’re not on reddit here, we don’t have to turn this into a place that wallows down conversations with that sort of crap.

              You’re right, I was quoting the title of the link you posted.

              “What phrases/sentences instantly reveal someone as a chud?”

              I should have been more clear.

      No he wasn’t. Although there was a clickbait article recently that implied it in the title, while in the actual article just saying that in theory it’s possible it could happen.

      Lol my company sent me down to Florida a couple times a year. They’d always have me wait around a day or two in the vain hope a load worth hauling would pop up. I never minded, I’d just Uber to the beach for a day. Free vacation! Unless it was Orlando, which as far as I can tell is just a swamp infected with capitalism. Never cared for Orlando…
