“Our poor people are the poorest” sounds suspect to be honest - Haiti? Congo? If you count $200K in student loan debt as poorer than $0 across the board, sure, but if you go by actual quality of life, there’s no way.

who could have seen this coming? surely not the south Vietnamese, the south Koreans, or any of the other militaries the united states propped up until it became clear that they weren’t going to win
There’s one key thing that he also said he wouldn’t let stop him:
I wonder why they left out of the headline that he also said that he wouldn’t let The Hague stop him 🤔

“Flags”, red or green, are usually the latter, but both are certainly good for this thread!
you might not be offended, but you’re definitely insufferable
In the interest of discussion, what tactics would you personally use if you were a Gazan paramilitary looking to liberate yourself from apartheid? Not saying I’m a fan of how things have gone down either but this discussion is always rewarding when I have it
please stop pushing tiblur
so are we already doing the propaganda fluff pieces about how brave the Israelis are? Can we also get some about the bravery of the Palestinians in their resistance against apartheid?
I have tried arguing with the people I would categorise as ‘anti-intellectual’ more than 99% of people to ever have lived trying to understand them
this betrays a lot about your attitudes towards 99% of people and how you interact with them
Consider that the ones who aren’t as enlightened as you just haven’t had the privilege to get the free time, financial flexibility, and education to spend a lot of time and effort self-reflecting on their own intellectual purity. Consider also that there are many in that group who count you as anti-intellectual for your prioritization of the ideals of a squeaky clean intellectual platform over the material realities of living in the world and having to engage in conflict and contradictions.
Hoping for civilian safety on both sides, and hoping that the Palestinians are able to reclaim as much of their stolen territory as possible.
is this the same energy that you use to hound women walking alone on the street to “smile more”?
reddit atheism and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
I literally said I don’t worship a god. That’s blasphemy. You should examine why you’re so much more hung up on making your magic sky fairy reddit arguments than you are about the Palestinians getting bombed right now
might have been an hour or two before you were typing this actually.
Rest assured though, this wasn’t the only time, here’s another https://www.businessinsider.com/videos-show-israeli-airstrikes-leveling-gaza-apartment-buildings-2021-5?op=1
Don’t you think the more parsimonious explanation is that this is a war of apartheid and colonialism?
There are Muslim and Christian Israelis and Jewish and Christian Palestinians. Sure, religion plays somewhat of a role in the conflict, but this is no more of a holy war than Operation Enduring Freedom or the Russo-Ukranian war, except that you wouldn’t ever accuse those of being about religion except in the context of this argument as a defense mechanism.

I don’t worship a god, I just don’t like seeing “barbaric savages” rhetoric in the wild. Whatever metric is being used to call them religious savages is equally applicable to America’s christian fundamentalist religious savagery, except that America owns more press.
“our poor people are the poorest of any functioning democracy on Earth” - Does this mean that the author doesn’t count the developing world as functioning democracies, but does count all of the developed world as functioning democracies?
