    How are you this dense and don’t already have your own moon orbiting around you?

    Yes, political and bureau are two English words, and if you had used them, they’d correspond to your quote from a wikipedia article. However, you used “politburo”, which is the abbreviation used to denote the political bureaus of the communist parties within the Soviet sphere. You know, like compromising material being an English phrase, while the abbreviation “kompromat” is a Russian intelligence abbreviation from the Stalin era.

    It’s odd for someone getting their worldview through Wikipedia to not at least look for the wiki article for politburo. But in any case, I’d suggest not limiting yourself to the non existent nuance in Wikipedia and try to dig a little bit deeper in order to understand the words you’re using to sound smart online.

      Again: english is my second language, “Politbüro” is literally the German term for “political bureau”. See random german newspaper article to confirm the use of the term “Hamas-Politbüro” in german: https://www.n-tv.de/politik/Hamas-Politbuero-spricht-sich-fuer-Ende-des-Krieges-aus-article24613499.html

      Sorry for the confusion, it was simply a translation error I made. Because when formulating posts in english I might sometimes miss some proper English terms and use german ones by accident. Now please stop with the insinuations, I did not use that word to compare Hamas to communist parties or to “sound smart”.

        Ok. To be fair, it is actually the first time you’re mentioning the German angle and English being your second language, so I had no way of knowing. Also, there are a lot of people online using these terms (politburo, kompromat and the like) in order to cast a subliminally negative light on the subjects being discussed, so I wasn’t trying to be malicious, if perhaps a bit too defensive 😄 My apologies for insinuating that you have a hidden agenda.
