It at least delays it. And the alternative is voting for Trump.

50% of people keep voting for it, so some people must love it.

So is everybody just snapping at each other more? Like is the friend group more angry? I'm kind of confused at the nature of the toxicity. But it does feel like the pressure of society making people a lot more tired and stressed, quick to snap. I've notice the same thing with some of friends of mine, and it's unfortunate =(

He bullied the Feds into lowering the interest rates low for so long and extended the pandemic, so I content a lot of this is his fault to begin with.

Gas is actually the one thing I've noticed that has been a lot better lately. But everything else is still expensive from the crazy greedflation every company was trying to pull when we were tolerating post-pandemic cost rises.

The Middle East in general has oil and Israel is our main base over there basically, being an ally in the region. They give us a zone of control. (Also Turkey but Israel is easier to control and it's good to have backups.)

Stop Israel oppression of Palestine so Hamas doesn't have a cause to recruit people behind? They're already not supported by the majority of people in Gaza, but if someone is left an orphan because Israel bombed their block, of course they'll be easier to recruit to Hamas.

Nah they're doing pretty great at it. Maybe a little too fast this time, normally they're better at taking the land and killing people slow enough to give the US and other Western allies some plausible deniability, but since no one is stopping them still, you can't even hold that against them.

They'd probably need to give them equal rights and not be an apartheid state, too, and stop kicking people out of their homes. But once all that happened, the violence would probably be greatly reduced. The same thing happened with the Ira in the UK, their attacks stopped once they negotiated.

Wtf are you talking about? The straw manning is crazy. They never said Hamas was the good guys in that comment or that they tried to get land through negotiation. They were talking about the relationship with Palestine before Hamas. Hamas was a result of the failures of those negotiations.

If you oppress people and take their land without a peaceful resolution, of course a violent, terrorist group will result. We've seen it in other countries, too, from the IRA in the UK to the ANC in South Africa and the BLA in the United States. If Hamas were to disappear an equivalent is just going to appear again without the underlying conditions that caused them to be created being solved, or without full ethnic cleansing, which is obviously the route Israel would prefer.

I mean, some did. With special visas and stuff. That still means they're occupied.

Don't forget filled with the constant sound of drones to the point people can't sleep or study, a majority of their water isn't drinkable, they don't control their own trash, and they restricted the amount of calories into their to be the bare minimum at one point.

The difference is that he didn't accept the peaceful transition of power at all. And they're at it again with their new Project 2025, they're aiming for fascism.

Israel hasn't actually wanted a two state solution since Rabin. They pretend to offer it then withdraw it the second something goes wrong, which they goad into happening on purpose by doing things like continuing increasing West Bank occupations while negotiating, or propping up Hamas to do a terrorism while negotiating, so they have an excuse to stop negotiations.

It's getting very I'm Sorry To Bother You up in here.

I like this. It's applicable basically everywhere nowadays.

Now we can't even buy property at $150k without being called out for making bad choices? Holy shit the working class is lowering their expectations way too much.

People used to be able to have a house, a car, hobbies, have medical help, all the house appliances, and yearly vacations on one income at some mindless factory job. Expect more, people. Demand more. You only can't have it because the rich are hoarding everything and stealing your money. Don't shrug and take it. Don't criticize others for expecting it. Fucking demand it for yourself. It's your work making them rich.

Ah I see. Thanks again!
