Precambrian Video Games posted:But Hamas decided instead to make Gaza a springboard for destroying Israel. To put it another way, Hamas had a choice: to replicate Dubai in 2023 or replicate Hanoi in 1968. It chose to replicate Hanoi, whose Củ Chi tunnel network served as the launchpad for the ’68 Tet offensive. So in this analogy Israel is South Vietnam/USA. Someone who's good at history remind me how that ended up.

You know it's a Friedman because the metaphor means exactly the opposite of what he wants it to mean and makes him look like a loving moron even if you assume it's a good metaphor for the situation, but it's also a terrible and wrong metaphor. It's not a genuine Friedman unless it's stupid on at least two levels.

Let me get this straight for you dear readers, Israel is the Romanov family and Hamas are the Bolsheviks. Don’t let history repeat itself.

And not, like, one of those people who are skeptical of the new type of vaccines that are mRNA-based. As the article notes, she was one of those 2000s-style Jenny McCarthy anti-vaxxers about normal-rear end vaccines that we've known work great for decades upon decades.

Toplowtech posted:The antivax positions are always super weird. In the 1800s when Napoleon(a big fan of Jenner, partly because the British Parliament was poo poo to him, partly because vaccination was a genius step forward in term of public healthcare) did a European-wide cowpox inoculation campaign, he was originally afraid the catholic church would oppose the campaign. It did not. The priests and hierarchy were so extremely in favor they took part in the inoculation proper, organizing local campaigns to help it. You know who opposed it? A few doctors, who were afraid a successful campaign would portrait them as quacks who let people die. Also, note it didn't stop the English press from calling Napoleon the anti-christ and the inoculation scars the MARK OF THE BEAST. Didn't know that, that rules.

Vaccines are a bit of a victim of their own success. In Brazil, despite all that Bolsonaro did to try to discredit and stop vaccinations, only like 2.5% of the population said they wouldn't get the covid vaccine under any circumstance. 82% were vaccinated according to the latest data, and if you look at the map, it is more due to access reasons than political reasons. That is in large part because polio vaccines didn't become widely available in Brazil until 1980. So anyone from my generation knows someone who had polio as a kid and can see the outcome, and can see that people born after 1980 didn't have the same problems.
