The account Taylor Swift Updates is run by an Israeli girl that went to prison rather than serve in the IDF

Never thought I'd call a swifty based

[-] [email protected] 69 points 11 months ago

Good for her!

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Why was she suspended on Twitter?

[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

They don't let you use twitter in Israeli prison, afaik.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

No clue, sorry.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

I am surprised anyone would actually put someone in jail for draft-dodging in this age. Even countries that haven't banned conscription yet should have the sense not to make celebrities of those who refuse. The Swiss system (higher tax for refusing) seems more reasonable.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

Higher tax for refusing seems like your giving rich people a pass. Unless it was really graduated to take a much higher percentage of higher income?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

The Swiss rich are already taxed, this would make that higher. Hell most countries tax based on income and iirc the Swiss do to.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Obviously, but the question is what rate would be fair for what incomes/wealth. Because the target would be that the wealth distribution of those passing would be roughly the same as the wealth distribution in the country.

I wonder what https://twitter.com/LegitTayUpdates did to get their account suspended?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Probably kept reposting Chocolate Rain.

The IDF is the Israeli Defense Force, the main military arm of the fascist Israeli government.

Hamas is bad too before some ass comes along and yells "antisemitism" cause I said Israel sucks.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Still factually wrong. The IDF ist Israels military, independent from whether there are currently fascists in the government

Your formulation implies

  • there’s a fascist government
  • a special armed force installed by that fascist government specifically (I.e like the SS/SA from the Nazis, or possibly the Wagner group)

While the first one is debatable, the second one is just plain wrong.

Finally! A comment that gives out the full name of this stupid abbreviation

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Honestly it should be common decency to put the full expanded name if you're the first one to say it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I didn't even know what it meant, because abbreviations are fucking stupid

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

IDF reservists actually took the step of protesting against the government over recent proposed changes to weaken their Supreme Court. (Source)

Not what you'd expect "a bunch of fascists" to do. Nearly every Israeli citizen has mandatory military service.

Surely you're not labelling an entire population based on the actions of their government?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

It turns out you don't need to be a card carrying true believer in fascism to be a fascist. All you gotta do is stand by while the fascists do what they want.

Protesting is nice, i guess, but characterizing the Israeli government as "fascist" is pretty fair.

getting jailed due to not wanting to kill is so fucked up

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Happens in America as well

[-] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

It wasn't the Immune Deficiency Foundation, it was the Indiana Dodgeball Federation. And I don't blame her. Who likes being hit in the face with a dodgeball?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Or wrench, for that matter.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

From april 2nd 2019? Wonder how they're doing now, if they're still in Israel.

Further coverage and interviews with this poster in gatdam Vogue, perhaps in a bid to catch up with the revolutionary vanguard of Teen Vogue.
