trump gives the VP to RFK so he can ask the CIA to do the funniest thing ever

mods! mods! this poster is vaguely suspicious, arrest them at once!

The worst part is that adopting a tiny modicum of "progressive" politics would actually make them (the country as a whole, but also the bourgeoisie) more money in the end, just based on the fact that you can't run a capitalist society in any meaningful sense if your working class can't afford to live (and thus make surplus value available to the owner-class). More public transport would make it hella easier for a business to recruit a workforce from places with lower rents and further commutes, more money in the pocket for consumers means more consumption, etc. etc. There was that survey a few years back that showed that if wealth were to be redistributed fairly, the average American would be almost twice as rich.

The problem is really that certain segments of capitalist society would not be so overwhelmingly powerful, and easing up on military adventures would mean a resurgence of workers rights in many parts of the world.. It's not enough to be the richest country if you can't also make the rest of the world poor.

fucking incredible how in the same breath she clearly enumerates exactly how many Israelis were BRUTALLY MURDERED and SA'ed by the wild hordes of Hamas, and then go on to mention an unspecified number of unfortunate Palestinians that lost their life due to mysterious kinetic circumstances. How many, KKKamala? How many Palestinian children?

It's a copypasta yes

wdym we already have Jewish Kanye

I just upbeared your comment.

FAQ

What does this mean?

The amount of upbears (points) on your comment and Hexbear account has increased by one.

Why did you do this?

There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be worthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to:

• Rudeness towards Redditors,

• Spreading Marxist Theory,

• Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

Am I in good standing with the Hexbear?

No - not yet. But you should continue making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to retract my upbear, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

I don't believe my comment deserved an upbear. Can you un-upbear it?

Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo an upbear. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Hexbear PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of upbear appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

How can I make this happen again in the future?

Accept the upbear and move on. But learn from this: your behavior will be tolerated on hexbear.net. I will continue to issue upbears until you fuck up your posting. Remember: Hexbear is privilege, not a right.

A problem that remains unsolvable because of everyone's refusal to abandon their own ideological biases.

If only people could become less polarized they would be perfect little centrists like me, not a single ideology rattling around my skull. No biases here, no siree.

So the region just devolves into two groups slaughtering each other

It's just tribalism and religion, no need to look at who colonized who, land ownership is just vibes after all (except when it's ordained by God or the British), a six year old Gazan kid who gets pasted onto a wall by a 500 pound bomb is just as bad as the guy dropping said bomb

It also had a very clear objective that was limited in scope (capture PoW and hostages to trade for Palestinians currently held in rape/torture-camps where they get surgery without anesthetics and often aren't even charged with anything) so not a futile attempt at vengeance or terrorism, but a guerilla/military action against an armed occupying force aimed in the service of liberation. Fully justified under international law

compare that to the IDF's response which is collective punishment, genocidal actions, carpet-bombing entire neighborhoods, killing hostages, torturing doctors, murdering aid-workers and journalists and ramping up general settler violence in the West Bank and other places.

It's abundantly clear who the worst actor is here.

(holding the mass shooter's gun when he gets tired also you bought the gun for him) "I'm working tirelessly to end this terrible situation!"
