In our society people are acknowledged as human beings through consumption, and that need is hammered onto our heads by ads and beauty norms everywhere.

Belonging is a human need. Sometimes some cheap makeup is all it takes.

But also, the rich people are stealing from us in so much worse ways. A rich teen stealing from a rich corporation is kind of karmaeic, and really, even if she was caught, nothing significant would happen, whilst a poor girl doing the same would suffer a lot more.

Ergo, if you see something, no you didn't.

It would, but it's not really objective since it was also established through military force. Either way, it's allowing for one of peoples to use military strength and not another.

Yes. One of my sources state that. You see I'm not cherry picking. I'm taking a variety of sources to try to make some sense of this shit show.

So. Fair. Beheading is particularly graphic violence. Is killing by bombing acceptable, then, because it's not a human killing another with their own hands, because there's indirection in between, through fighter planes and the explosives?

It should all be unacceptable, I believe we agree. I acknowledge the violence of this week's attack, but I also acknowledge the Israeli violence before and after this week's attack.

What's the objective way to look at this? Maybe is the onion's. https://www.theonion.com/the-onion-stands-with-israel-because-it-seems-like-yo-1850922505

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Sources for confirmation are the IDF and IDF provided pictures. https://news.sky.com/story/its-important-to-separate-the-facts-from-speculation-what-we-actually-know-about-the-viral-report-of-beheaded-babies-in-israel-12982329

There's also reports that there are ai generated pictures trying to support these claims: https://www.samaa.tv/208732623-fact-check-ai-generated-burnt-baby-image-shared-amid-israel-hamas-war

Wars do include a lot of misinformation, and everything is just so quick. We have to dismiss first, and try to find the extraordinary evidence. I couldn't. You can't prove something doesn't exist, or something didn't happen.

Unfortunately nobody got time to read everything in detail. We skim through everything and try to come up with some sense out of it according to our world views.

The beheading of babies is fake news, though. And use of fake news is signature tactics of far right public opinion manipulation.

Shit is complex, friend. :/

It is an intimidation technique, though.

I've refrained from even acknowledging Palestinian peoples struggle in public to reduce risk of being tagged as a anti-fascist, or pro-terrorist.

They need the content to be available for Google indexing reasons, it can only really be blocked through the client.

A smart enough backend system can access/crawl/index it, just like Google can. And then make it available to the public without the front end annoyance.

A link of any specific comment, please?

Of Palestinian children in a Palestinian hospital?

At some point prices have to adjust to material reality and someone will lose money. Sometimes expected growth is not possible.
