    “Statesian”? “Zionist entity”? You talk like Jordan Peterson.

    You know there are much simpler, more descriptive words for these, yet you choose these 5 dollar words to sound more academic and thus more respectable. Academia is not about obfuscating ideas and obscuring reasoning.

      If you think everyday words are $5, get a weekly vocabulary lesson for free, online. It’s not up to us to dumb ourselves down all the time, drag yourself UP, and get the needed hand.

      I didn’t realize Jordan Peterson was an anti imperialist. I’m not an academic, I chose my words deliberately to convey my feelings about the subjects.
