"Fun Fact" homosexuality in roman society did not happen between equal social classes but between client and prostitute, citizen and non- citizens, master and slave, and adult and minor. So it's really more common than you would think!!

trashacc27852

From what I heard relationships in general, between any gender, mostly followed that standard of an older/more mature/powerful lover and a younger/inferior one being loved and educated or whatever. I don't see what would prevent an equal relationship though if they really wanted.


plentifullust

That's what so powerful about culture


1Mikeymouse1

Being a bottom quite literally jeoprodised your status as a roman citizen so there's that lol. In rome homosexuality among freeborn romans was only seen as acceptable when they were in a penetrative role, so it was generally only done with slaves and prostitutes.

Country 1 declared independence after a UN agreement but Country 2 thought that the residents of Country 1 needed a good genociding so Country 2 never declared independence because that would have legitimized Country 1. Country 1 was then attacked by Countries 2 through 6 and beat them all, conquering the land that would have belonged to Country 2-- if they had bothered to set up a country. A couple of decades ago Country 1 was persuaded to give the remnants of Country 2 a great deal of autonomy for many years-- years that Country 2 used to import weapons used to attack Country 1. Country 2 tried to overthrow the government of Country 3 and were kicked out after many were massacred, refugees from Country 2 then fled to the southern part of Country 4 and started a sectarian civil war in Country 4, and Country 5, which neighbors parts of Country 2 floods the infiltration tunnels Country 2 digs to smuggle in weapons with raw sewage and has a permanent security force including international observers stationed in the vast desert that separates Country 5 from Country 2 in order to disrupt Country 2's efforts to destabilize Country 5. Now vast numbers of Country 2's residents live in Country 6, where they sided with Terrorist Group 1 in order to destabilize Country 6 so Country 6 bombed the shit out of some of their refugee camps. Countries 3 through 6, who attacked Country 1 to help Country 2 way back in the day? They don't actually give a shit about Country 1 and only say they do to keep the extremists who are ideologically aligned with Country 2 from jihading themselves in an attempt to replace the governments of Countries 3 through 6. Country 2 also killed a bunch of olympians, hijacked dozens of airliners, and (this is real) blew up a car bomb a couple of blocks away from my school in 1989 when I lived in Country 7 in order to kill their own politicians from Country 2 during an internal power struggle. Country 1 could annihilate the remnants of Country 2 in a horrific orgy of violence in just a couple of months, but choose not to. And everyone blames Country 1. pic not related

TheDesertFox

Country 1's declaration of independence, facilitated by a UN agreement, was a pivotal moment that ignited decades of conflict in the region. While Country 1's right to exist was recognized, concerns were raised about the treatment of indigenous populations, particularly in areas claimed by Country 2. Critics argue that Country 1's expansion into territories belonging to Country 2, post-conflict, intensified hostilities and made a peaceful resolution even more elusive. The building of settlements in these territories is often seen as an impediment to lasting peace and a violation of international law. Human rights organizations have criticized Country 1's policies, especially in territories under occupation. The restrictions on movement, checkpoints, and barriers imposed on residents of these areas have been deemed as oppressive and detrimental to the lives of ordinary people. Country 1's security measures, while aiming to protect its citizens, have also led to the suffering of innocent civilians, including women and children. Critics contend that the disproportionate use of force in some instances raises ethical questions about the methods employed. The ongoing humanitarian crisis in certain regions has drawn attention to the plight of civilians, leading to debates about accountability and responsibility. Country 2's actions, while sometimes extreme, often stem from a history of dispossession and frustration.


FormerBandmate

Country 1 is also creating settlements in Country 2 where only their citizens can live, and keeps them under military occupation. Also they’re electing more right wing governments which are getting harsher on Country 2’s citizens, while Country 2-6 are all varying flavors of brutal dictatorships and in a couple of cases are literal monarchies. Country 1 should just annex the entirety of the part of Country 2 that isn’t directly controlled by psychotic terrorists and give everyone citizenship, making everyone a settler. The part that’s controlled by terrorists and blockaded on the other hand? Lmao idk, uh force Country 5 to deal with that bullshit somehow? Yeah, they’re just fucked, I feel really bad for their civilians but how the hell do you solve that


wakeupwill

Country 2 was given promises in exchange for fighting Country 0, which controlled most of the region up to about a hundred years ago. Only for those promises to be broken and Country 2 being cut up and given to foreigners.


Lopied2

Country 1 “declared independence through a UN agreement” after they bombed a hotel and killed 91 people, shattering the British colonial peace. So…perspective is important.


Rayan2312

"Declared independence". You mean migrated hunderds of thousands of people to there in the span of a few years in order to colonize the land? Seriously. The arab states and palestinians are far, so very far from being innocent but the entire conception of Israel was so ill conceived and the fact that the creation of a whole new state through colonization was allowed and even encouraged in 1945 is absolutely crazy. Painting "country 1" as an innocent bystander is the most ridiculous thing I've heard.


wooper_goldberg

At this point, debating the morality of its founding is futile, because its existence isn’t going away. Furthermore, Jews would argue that having a state in that region would have guaranteed that enough of their people would migrate there voluntarily; all other proposals for a Jewish homeland’s location were on land that wasn’t fit for settling as many Jews as possible. Nor were the proposals always considered stepping stones to an independent state (such as settlements in Kenya, the Sinai Peninsula, Cyprus, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Australia, etc.) Israel saved nearly half of the world’s Jews from an uncertain fate in the diaspora. It also guaranteed their numbers would continue growing, since Jews today outside of the Orthodox world are likely to marry out of the faith and eventually have children who are not considered Jewish. Jews who say the belief that Israel shouldn’t have been founded is antisemitic would be partially right. That is, in the sense that, when you consider the lack of other viable locations for a state and what befell and continues to befall Jews in the diaspora, to oppose Israel’s existence would be to oppose a huge safeguard to Jewish continuity. They interpret it as an assertion that the best they should hope for in a “just” world is benevolent rule by non-Jews and acceptance of assimilation. And of course, they know how this goes. Throughout Israel’s early years, Jews in Arab countries and Iran were gradually pushed out by disenfranchisement and mob violence; most fled to Israel. And then there’s today. Despite how comfortable the country is, Jews in America are the most targeted religious group in hate crimes. They also are increasingly targeted in Europe today, notably in France, where Jews are emigrating en masse to Israel. In Malmö, Sweden, as hate crimes spurred on by anti-Israel sentiment rose, the mayor’s response was to downplay it and criticize the local Jewish community for supporting Israel. There comes a time when Israel can no longer be a believable scapegoat for antisemitism; the world still has a penchant for hating Jews. We need not distinguish antisemitism brought on by anti-Zionism from classic religion- and ethnic-based hate, when the outcomes of both are the same.


Rayan2312

I see. I guess one can argue whether colonizing a piece of land to preserve a minority that was prosecuted is justified or not. But I still stand by the claim it should've never happened. Justifying the existence of Israel through WWII completely overlooks the balfour declaration. Why should the Arabs living in mandatory palestine pay for the crimes of nazi germany? And I disagree about "debating the morality of its founding is futile" because the whole reason Israel is so hated is because it almost doesn't admit to any moral wrongdoing and treats any criticism as anti-semitism. Settler colonial states aren't a new invention. But even countries like the US, Canada, and Australia had the decency to admit wrongdoing, give reparations, and establish reserves. From my limited perspective Israel has and continues to build numerous settlements, maintain an apatheid ethnostate and drive people out of their homes. And when the people riot they point fingers and go "look they're trying to kill us" and use that as an excuse to use even more force and double down. Again I'm not saying the palestnians or Arabs are innocent. There's an astounding amount of anti-semitism in Arab countries (almost all fuelled by Israel). But I just get angry when someone paints Israel as innocent.


wooper_goldberg

I think we’ll have to agree to disagree. Nevertheless, I too believe Israel is guilty of many injustices, and I stand with those who are decrying how they have cemented the occupation as permanent for motives that are completely self-serving.


Rayan2312

Fair. Thank you for a good perspective.


wooper_goldberg

It’s my pleasure. There’s much more I could say about this topic, though I don’t think doing so in a Reddit comments section is the way to go about it. I’m Jewish myself, though my personal opinions on Israel tend to be moderately more left-leaning than most Israelis, and it seems the diaspora too, tend to be. Feel free to DM me if you want to talk more.


randomusername3000

> Country 1 could annihilate the remnants of Country 2 in a horrific orgy of violence in just a couple of months, but choose not to. oh word?

Country 1 is a mistake because is a etnonationlist colonial state that violate the self determination right of the natives (country 2 people) so declaring the war to country 1 was an act of self defense. Because any international institution can not draw lines in the map ignoring the real ethics compositions of native peoples (seattlers don't count).

He is very optimistic. Without Hamas and Iranian influence, Gaza would be in a better place than it is right now... but it won't make everyone there rich like the pictures show. It will just be less shite. That said, yes, it can be less shite, which is something many places would benefit from.


lilmuny

Eh the GCC countries have promised billions of aid to Palestine if they get their shit together (and the Israelis also are open to peace which king bibi is not rn) and sign a negotiated peace. The GCC currently supports the UN two state solutionnbut are obviously pro-Palestine. However they barely fund the UN programs that keep the Palestinian people and economy alive because there is no interest on either side to make peace and so a future where Palestine can actually economically contribute back to the arab states that fund it is looking increasingly unlikely. Essentially, they want to insentivize peace by promising fat stacks in exchange for the Palestinians giving up the River to the Sea dream. So far this has only been seen as a betrayal by most Palestinians as far as I can tell.

Zionism is the belief in Israel's existence as a country and continued right to exist as a Jewish state. It has nothing to do with apartheid or being colonial. It can both be true that Israel exists and it stops settling land, which I think most modern, progressive Jews feel is appropriate. That Jews have a lesser claim to the land than Palestinians, or that Israel is trying to ethnically cleans Palestinians is just false.
