  • The UN says its genocide. The icc says it's close enough to genocide for the Israeli government to be arrested, every non Israeli historian with a specialty in genocide says its genocide.

    And yes, the questions have been "do you support the governments actions against Gaza and the Palestinian people", and yes those actions are known to be genocide by the people that carried them out, i.e. the general public in Israel thanks to mandatory IDF service.

    There used to be 2 million people in Gaza. There's now at most 1.2 million by most outside estimates. Deaths stopped being counted when all the hospitals, and that's not an exaggeration, were bombed in Gaza. So no one has been counting the dead.

    You don't get to say Ukraine has it worse, because they don't. Objectively. No part of their experience is pleasant, but it's simply incomparably better.

  • I'm glad you can support genocide and say it's the only way to prevent genocide.

    I don't believe that's the case and I never will.

    We are fundamentally different species, divided on that thought; whether crossing an uncrossable line is okay to theoretically save yourself.

    I will never be sorry for not supporting genocide, as you will never be sorry for supporting it. Neither of us will change each others minds, we can only hope that only one of our species survived this admin and the rise of the far right.

  • The Israeli public, at least 60-68% of it consistently supports genocide, even as they are direct witnesses and for the most part due to mandatory IDF enlistment, participate in it.

    Most people in Russia hate their government and military, beyond some basic notion that they should be the toughest because they're Russian. Most people in China, especially the military, have nothing to do with any alleged genocide.

    But the Israeli public is different. That is why they get less respect.

    The Nazis were popular in Germany for a time, the Israeli government is no different at the moment. Both populations should not be respected even a little, given they have largely chosen and supported attrocities.

  • Asking for one that isn't a genocidal maniac shouldn't be the impossible bar that you consider perfect.

    I don't know about you people, but I'm not a genocidal person, I don't think genocide is a good thing, and I don't believe a cult of fascists have a divine right to kill the brown people.

    I don't think it's that big of an ask to have at least one candidate that believes the same as me in this very common notion.

  • They're including the entirety of China's media budget.

    While I agree things like npr, pbs, and local newspapers are propaganda, you guys typically don't. So it's silly to compare the two like that.

    It's like saying the entirety of the UK's tv license fee is just for state run propaganda; and that's not fair, channel 4 exists and works against UK state propaganda.

  • Minors are going to access the internet no matter what you do, it's on them an their underdeveloped brains on whether or not they can handle it.

    If their parents don't care enough, then let them be raised here, amongst the stable minds that think anything to the left of burning kids alive for warmth is tankieism (.world) or anything to the right of luxury gay space communism is fascism (all the sane instances).

  • That wasn't the comment I responded to, this comment thread is about Harris. I responded about Harris.

    And yes, this one has a green card, so instead of being disappeared into jail for an indeterminate amount of time later to be released on court order, he's disappeared into jail with his green card suspended later to be released on court order.

  • That humans are human?

    Yeah, I'm willing to draw the line in the sand there. Equality in the face of nobility (i.e. class vs race based discrimination) is more fair and equal than the view espoused by our founding fathers. But all caste systems have always been bad. Universally. And no matter the culture or time period with this idea, you'll find a loud minority or a large majority of people that disagree with the caste system in place.

    Because that's how they work, a minority can only benefit, and are the only ones that need it to work, so the less stratified they are the more people are against it but are rendered powerless by the system in place.

    Every human that didn't believe in equality, and by that I just mean that all humans are human, is a bad person.

    For fucks sake orangutans got their name because we as a species treated them as human at one point. If we can do that to a fucking monkey there's no epiphany needed to do it to actual humans.

  • Because encryption is a weapon of war (according to the US government, seriously look up why encryption tech cannot be exported even as open source to us enemies), breaking their encryption and trying to install your own software would be an act of war.

  • If that was the version of Buddhism he's advocating for Tibet would still be an autonomous region instead of under direct control.

    They had child sex slaves and a caste system that would make some parts of India blush.

  • No,but the dalai lama who is tibetan and is a believer in tibetan Buddhism which has child sex slaves for most of its existence is in fact a pedophile.

    This is from someone with an East Asian mindset.

    Sucking children's tongues or vice versa is weird here in China too.

  • But it inevitably will become that cheap, as your steak and pork become infinitely, exponentially more expensive over time.

    We're already massively subsidizing meat production and we're entirely ignoring the majority of meats costs in calculating prices.

    Those costs are going to keep getting higher, however, and those subsidies won't be able to last even in a wealthy monetary issues country like the US. Unless you completely abandon capitalism, real beef isnt going to be a thing for middle class or poor people within 20 years, and it won't be a thing period within a hundred.

    However the tech to print meat will get smaller and cheaper over time and the seed ingredients are already cheaper than the land maintenance and feed for real livestock. Hell it's cheaper than most inputs for anything except corn and wheat. There will be a time in the next few decades where middle class people in smart countries will have a meat printer at home to make whatever they want for dinner and shopping for meat will be too prohibitively expensive for anyone but the rich.

    Climate change is already causing crop failures and water distribution fights, and quite frankly the meat industry doesn't have enough money to fight the climate on this issue.

  • In the US, at least, nearly all corporations digitized around the late nineties while buying into personality test nonsense.

    At this time the screening was more simple than it was today, keyword searches and yes/no personality decisions that eliminated over 90% of applicants.

    Now with LLMs they can eliminate nearly all applicants, giving them more legal justification to request visas or outsource.

  • Cops exist exclusively and solely to protect capital; and many businesses owners have deluded themselves into believing they're capitalists. However as they are not and have no real understanding of how that relationship works they try to appease cops instead of demanding them.

    In this the Petit Bourgeoisie harms itself and shows it's whole ass; forever setting itself as subservient to police, who are subservient exclusively to the real Bourgeoisie.
