I don't think it's fair to characterize global colonialist powers like Britain, France, or the US as not violent expansionists.

Ah yeah, I don't think anyone is having a serious political discussion on the internet, it's all just dunking and trolling. IRL I've heard many people be completely upfront about it when talking to other leftists.
I don't think you need to provide sources or preemptively defend wikipedia.
In my experience the kind of communists who want to shoot all the anarchists have a detailed knowledge of the history of shooting anarchists and talk openly about the fact that they'll shoot all the anarchists.
Also anarchists tend to be pretty aware of what happens when you oppose state power.
I'm Jewish, I'm very aware that the side running brutal racist internment camps was meaningfully less bad than the side running brutal genocidal death camps. Neither qualify as good.
Sure, there are no good guys in any war, since the good guys are never the ones with guns killing each other.
But the more genocidal death camps you have, the bigger a baddy you are. It's not that difficult to understand.
If they've already proven they can steal and lie, of course they'll get VC money.
White House has absolutely zero control over an immediate and permanent cease fire, or lifting the Gaza blockade, that's all on Israel
The white house has plenty of influence over israel, they've just chosen to green light the genocide and netanyahu's regional escalation against the advice of our own experts.
An arms embargo would empower anti-netanyahu voices in israel who could point to his mismanaging of israel's most important bilateral. It would reduce the rate and kind of weapons the idf could bring to bear against civilians, saving lives.
It's not murder when the rich do it.
You know that feeling you get when you look into your dog's eyes? The same parts of your dog's brain became active, so they're probably feeling similar emotions at that moment.
Larger platform changes such as ranking content based on quality, rather than engagement, might hit at the root of the problem
Wait, we shouldn't just let people create intentionally divisive outrage machines?
Some people love to dry hump strangers on a crowded bus or train, is that more like it?
I have to admit I don't understand what connection this has with paying for music apps.
Apologies.
But if being a violent expansionist makes the axis bad (which it obviously does) then the allies are clearly just less bad in this particular situation rather than actually good, since all the allied powers have extensive histories of violent expansionism.
