Speak softly and carry a big stick.
To name a few:
- moon landing
- banning CFCs
- German purity law
I agree with your sentiment that Israel has a right to defend itself. That said, I think the reason folks are saying you’re wrong is because Israel just bombed the hell out of Gaza, which killed fighters and civilians alike.
You don’t have to call it genocide, but killing indiscriminately is a pretty thin line.
I want to converse in a place where most people are civil and tolerant of ideas even if these ideas challenge their view of the world. People don't have to agree, but I think most people should be treated with dignity and respect. Further, I would love to converse in place where people are rational actors and free thinkers, rather than just simply aligned and regurgitating their group's thought leaders' talking points. A place where people have been taught the scientific method, fallacies, how to discern most propaganda and advertising, and also have at least a minimum understanding of philosophy, psychology and sociology.
In other words, I want to converse in a complete fantasyland.
Joking aside, these arts were once taught to all students at most universities. I'm not sure if they are anymore, but the news paints a picture that they've been exchanged for more "employable" skills. I hope to see more pushback against those efforts.
But weirdly enough, the French transferred New Orleans ownership over to Spain so that it wasn’t lost as a spoil of war. The Spanish then governed it for 40 years before it was given back and then promptly sold to the US.
And community, hard to know your neighbors when you're renting.
I’m surprised this is news. I mean how else do you make cheese? Isn’t most dairy cheese just fermented milk and rennet?
Likewise, weren’t a lot of the original vegan cheeses different forms of tofu?
Remember that anyone can be elected speaker, even someone off the street. You know who no republican would dare vote against if nominated? I’ll give you one guess.
We gotta stop thinking that everyone that doesn’t think exactly like us is our enemy. This guy probably did an untold amount of things to obfuscate what Cheeto knew during his presidency and what his actual options were. Remember that huge bomb in Afghanistan or the killing of Iran’s head of CIA? Or completely backstabbing our allies, the Kurds? Or when he met and then fell in love with Kim Jong Un?
When Cheeto was presented reprehensible options, he chose them.
If Mussolini got the trains to run on time, why shouldn’t we?
You don’t have to hold political office for it to be political. Being persecuted by someone with political power due to your religion, status, ideals, protest or actions happens on the daily.
Moreover, the whole reason Hunter is in the public spotlight is due to Trump and the GOP trying to tie his actions in Ukraine to his father. Otherwise he’d be just another schmoe who lied on a form to get a firearm.
