A Very Long Read. It Will Tax Your Attention Span

Sorry Dan. I've actually read some of your links. But I have ZERO interest in the opinion of a self-stated socialist. Anyone who thinks socialism is good is a moron and not worthy of an ounce of my time.
I think it is a poor decision to isolate yourself from any particular school of thought. It seems almost cowardly in a way, as if you’re terrified you might hear something you can’t rebut which would throw your carefully protected personal philosophy into turmoil. IMO one’s personal philosophy should always be in turmoil, a never ending quest for truth knowing you may find it in places you never expected. But that’s me. As for this article I don’t recall the subject of socialism being mentioned. He mostly laments what Zionism has become, gives historical perspective on how it became the way it has, and mourns how it has altered the religion of Judaism on behalf of a political ideology and agenda. I found it to be compelling.
You’ve found numerous propaganda pieces on the subject to be compelling.
I take it that in your eyes any opinion that conflicts with Israeli actions can only be propaganda. What a convenient way to look at things!
You retention sucks or you don’t read what people write.
I suspect the later.
I’ve said numerous times it’s all propaganda.
Both sides.
Thats what happens.
That’s an unfortunate attitude. Actually it is possible there are people who present honestly felt opinions based on years of study. The author from the link is such a person.
You lost me. What did you mean when you wrote “You should read more of their works like I did?”
Maybe you should call an ambulance.
You’re currently tied with an inanimate object.
I don’t see you being able to separate yourself either.
Yes, you’re a mental giant. Only a mental giant would think it’s a good idea to converse with an inanimate object.
You introduced the comparison.
I just pointed out how poorly you were doing in the comparison.
You’re still tied.
What comparison? You mental giantness vs my inanimate objectness? You talk in more riddles than a Talmudic scholar.
There are billions of stories and millions of writers in the world. I have to use some criteria to choose who is worth reading and who isn't. If a writer believes that socialism is good, then they've proven to me that their opinion isn't worth my time as they are an idiot. Why should I waste my limited amount of reading time on someone I know is an idiot. It has nothing to do with an inability to challenge my own beliefs. The fact I've read a number of your other stories is indicative of that. But I refuse to even give clicks to someone who is dumb enough to think that socialism is good for society.
Oh, please understand how grateful I am that you have occasionally read one of my links. But I still maintain you are shortcoming yourself if you’re only going to read things by people that agree with you about everything. Most of us are right about some things and wrong about others. I’m as big an opponent of socialism - really about any collectivism - as one can get, and if I read an article of his extolling the glories of socialism I’m sure I would hate it. But this is not an article about socialism, I don’t remember the word even appearing, and I found it makes far more sense than those who equate Zionism with Judaism as if they are the same thing. Maybe you could give it a look, read a few paragraphs before you dismiss it on an erroneous assumption.
