I’m optimistic about the protests as well.

What’s the difference between what’s going on now and carpet bombing? 60% of buildings in the strip have been damaged by bombs. Sources from december are saying that it’s the most destructive bombing campaign since the second world war. Gaza is already being carpet bombed.

That’s despicable for sure.
That’s not any different from the Palestinian point of view though

Wow.
Can’t put any criticism against Biden here…
We’re clear that every Republican candidate is worse than the last. Voting biden in 2024 will help the short term. You’re going from crisis to crisis. It’s by design. Can’t put the neighborhood fire out if you’re always worried about your house.

How would Trump be worse for the Palestinians?
Would Bibi bomb even harder? Because he seems to be ignoring international pressure now. Would Trump give even more bombs to Bibi? Because there doesn’t seem to be a handle on the throttle now.
Trump moved the embassy. Did biden move it back?
Trumps despicable. There’s lots of reasons to prefer biden come November, but how is biden better on this issue?

He lives somewhere. He shouldn’t ever be comfortable

Srsly Wrong’s latest podcast talked a lot about how oil companies funded grassroots pro oil campaigns and then linked it to our larger culture and how we can’t trust anyone anymore.

I never thought I’d be able to say not trusting each other is big oils fault, but here we are

I agree with you, but you might find the history of Zionism interesting. Before Israel, there was a sizable portion of Zionists that didn’t want Israel to exist in the middle east. There were also Zionists that didn’t want a ‘state’. They thought it was more important to have a safe place for a sizable Jewish population. There’s probably a lot of flavors of Zionism that you’d agree with. It’s the dominant Israeli Zionism that’s horrible.

It’s a lot easier to say ‘Zionist’ though. Just thought I’d share in case you weren’t aware.

Exactly. All we can do is try to improve.

Southern Ontario checking in. We did that too. ‘Gyped’ and ‘indian giver’ were also things.
Although, I had an indigenous friend one summer who quickly became popular because he was very funny. He used to use slurs against all of the white kids all of the time. It was the most effective anti racist tactic I’ve ever witnessed. None of us were comfortable using a lot of the slurs that were baked into our culture, unless it was with our friend and a smile.

I grew up just outside south Detroit. Those network television shows were nuts. It was the 90s. Crime was everywhere in Detroit. This was the era of hundreds of buildings being burned on devils night, and every single crime was done by the same guy. I remember his description clearly. 5’9-6’. Short hair. Between the ages of 20-35.

I often forget that DNA evidence has been much more important regarding wrongful conviction than any other facet.

Ethylene glycol.
It’s toxic to mammals.

I’ve heard, so take with a grain of salt, that China likes Chiang’s ideology that China should be reunified.
The disagreement was who should be in power after.
The removal of the statues somehow indicates they don’t want reunion.

Fascism doesn’t exist without capitalism. There’s been vicious and authoritarian socialist/communist states, but not fascist

The guys unhinged. He puts Matt groening orbiting the center of some great conspiracy while at the same time his main point is correct.

I’ve seen people fall down these rabbit holes and have them trigger something that drives them away from sanity. It’s sad af

I’ve worked in factories before. I’m not saying you have to be smart to work in a factory, but if you spend too much time in one you won’t be.

Israel has attacked 4 different countries in it’s ‘war against hamas.’ It’s attacked, Syria, Lebanon, Iran and Palestine. They’re aggressively trying to escalate.

What stops a class action, against whatever government that’s responsible, for settling for so little. Shouldn’t the company be on the hook for everyone’s cancer treatment. At the very least.

Taiwan has always been a bit fascy.

When Kai Cheks party split from the CCP, he ordered the killing of any communists still inside his own party effectively starting a civil war. Kai chek eventually lost and fled to Taiwan where he ruled until his death.

That bit of history is crazy interesting and also illuminating regarding current Chinese policy. I’d really encourage anyone to read up on it

Will they fight the suljuks?
