Skeptopathy Magazine

On-line magazine dedicated to exposing the pathological skepticism of the mainstream skeptic community. Pseudoskepticism, science, critical thinking.

Those who believe that conspiracy theorists are stupid and crazy necessarily believe (either) that:

1) there are no conspiracies
2) conspiracies are a special case that cannot be theorized about.

Both claims are clearly false. IOW such people are themselves stupid and crazy.

Using phrasing like "Iran-backed Houthi rebels" — but not "US-backed Zionist settlers" when describing Israel is the hallmark of a biased, imperialist rag.

Forget politics — just from a linguistic viewpoint, what a bloody mouthful. Who wants to read that nonsense?

@JesseBrown You deleted it because it shows your racism.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Reminder that when PM Carney and other Canadian politicians talk about rising “antisemitism” in Canada they are not talking about rising hostility towards Jews. They are talking about rising hostility towards Israel, and rising opposition to its genocide of Palestinians.
They are talking about rising anti-Zionism.
Anti-Zionism is anti-racism, anti-apartheid, anti-genocide.
And that, in fact, is a wonderful thing.
We should really be celebrating as a nation if we have come this far to be able to say that anti-racism is rising in this country.

[Skeptopathy Magazine @Skeptopathy]

@MarkJCarney Well serves all, except those Canadians with a conscience that protest Israel's psychopathic genocide of Palestinians.

[Skeptopathy Magazine @Skeptopathy]

@mandyarthur @grok Ask Grok if Israel is committing genocide to see how "truth seeking" it is.

Prime Minister Goldman Sachs lectures Canadians about hate while standing beside the flag of a genocidal, apartheid state.

@HunterBiden You can both be corrupt scum of the Earth.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

People show you examples of discrimination against Jews and it’s somebody wearing a watermelon pin or saying “from the river to the sea”. People show you examples of discrimination against Arabs and it’s families being burned alive in Palestine and Lebanon with western backing.

Unless you’re an Epstein criminal, a politician committing treason on behalf of Israel, insider trading, invested in data centers, working for Pfizer, part of the military industrial complex, or named Jared Kushner. Otherwise, Kash Patel will find you if you betray this country.

@elonmusk Well, unless it's anything to do with Israel.

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

The Smotrich parade scandal really highlighted how many mental contortions liberal Zionists are performing in order to separate Israel and its government. They like to pretend there are fairy fantasyland versions of Israel in other dimensions ruled by magic Jewish elf queens who ride candy unicorns and treat Palestinians as equals, and it is only by some freakish and unforeseeable twist of fate that our dimension's version of Israel wound up being governed by genocidal racists.

That's how they maintain their view that it's legitimate to criticize specific actions of this one specific government sometimes, but it's antisemitic to oppose Zionism or say Israel shouldn't exist. They pretend that the genocidal apartheid state we see before us today is some sort of fluke that is only one of the many possible iterations of what Israel could look like, and that any minute now it could agree to a two-state solution and become a virtuous beacon of truth and justice for the entire world.

This is of course ridiculous. Everything that Israel is today is the result of everything it has always been. All this war, genocide, apartheid and abuse is what it looks like when you give Zionists everything they want. This is all the inevitable fruit of the decision to plant a brand new ethnostate on top of a pre-existing civilization whose inhabitants do not belong to the privileged group.

There is no alternate reality version of Israel. Its government is inseparable from everything it is as a state. Smotrich, Ben Gvir and Netanyahu are the product of everything Israel has been from its very inception, and when they leave power they will be replaced by psychopathic fascists with different names and faces.

Genocidal apartheid states should not exist. To oppose genocide and apartheid is to oppose Zionism, because there is no material manifestation of Zionism put into practice which does not include those things. Saying "anti-Zionism is anti-semitism" is just saying you support genocide and apartheid and want those things to continue.

I can criticise
The King

US govt
Any MP

I can criticise
ANY foreign country EXCEPT if I criticise Israel ALONE, I risk serious personal consequences EVEN though Israel is carrying out terrible crimes including GENOCIDE

[Dimitri Lascaris @dimitrilascaris]

Israel is built upon and perpetrates genocide and apartheid. No state that behaves this way has a ‘right to exist’. Shame on @thomasjuneau for spreading the scurrilous lie that denying Israel’s ‘right to exist’ is antisemitic. The real racists are those who claim that Israel has a ‘right to exist’.

🎥 US Secretary of State basically admitting: Iran had the AUDACITY to build a real defensive shield for its own survival — and that’s exactly why the Empire struck first.

Look at the arrogance. Iran dared to defend itself against decades of aggression, sanctions, assassinations, and constant threats from the US and Israel.

They weren’t “building an offensive force” — they were creating enough missiles, drones, conventional weapons, and even a capable navy so that no one could bomb them with impunity anymore.

They were simply telling the world:
“If you attack our nuclear sites, our territory, or our people, we will hit back hard — with swarms of missiles, waves of drones, and naval operations that will make you regret it.”

That’s called sovereignty. That’s called deterrence.

That’s what any self-respecting nation does when it’s surrounded by hostile empires that have already destroyed Iraq, Libya, and tried the same on Syria and Yemen.

But the US can’t tolerate that. They can’t allow any country — especially one that refuses to bow to the dollar and the rules-based disorder — to reach a point of real immunity. So Trump (and the neocons) decided to smash that emerging shield before Iran could complete it.

Classic imperialist logic: “How dare you defend yourself? Only WE are allowed to have overwhelming military superiority and threaten whoever we want.”

Iran wasn’t the aggressor. Iran was preparing to survive the next illegal war the Empire was clearly planning. And the fact that Washington openly admits this was the reason for the attack tells you everything about who the real threat to peace is.

Respect to Iran for daring to stand tall. The rest of the Global Majority is watching.

[Rabbi David Mivasair @RabbiMivasair]

This is all completely fabricated, whipped up, frothing made-from-nothing. CIJA's mission is to defend Israel. To do that, it is distracting from Israel's massive crimes against humanity by creating this fake crisis about "antisemitism" in Canada. Don't believe it for a moment. Shame on government officials and media who allow themselves to be manipulated by these malicious monsters.

@KosherChutzpah Winning at being rapists and child murderers.

[Rabbi David Mivasair @RabbiMivasair]

The “rising scourge of antisemitism in Canada” is a completely fabricated campaign to suppress honest discourse about Israel and Palestine.

Canada’s government is being manipulated by Zionist organizations.

Fox News says Hasan Piker used a antisemitic trope by saying Israel advocacy groups pushed for his ban. And then in the following sentence details how said groups pushed for his ban.
