I’ve been reading books about the region for about 20 years. Where have you been? There is no difference between the parties when it comes to that conflict. They have other differences but not about Israel Palestine. Israel is the major Middle East foothold for American empire and policy has been consistent there for 50 years. Biden/Harris are currently committing genocide there, escalating the terror there to the worst levels in the history of the conflict. It does not get worse than genocide, nothing republicans can do is worse than genocide, there are hundreds of thousands dead. Fuck Harris, Biden, and Trump for this. Don’t come to a thread about what to do about ending the genocide and defend a comment that says voting for Harris (SECOND IN COMMAND OF SAID GENOCIDE) would have stopped it.

You can’t get worse than the Biden Harris stance. And there is no way Donald Trump is going to be better. So yeah equally bad.

That wouldn’t have helped this situation EDIT: I voted Harris, but if you think she would have changed course away from pro genocide once elected you are insane. She has been second in command of the genocide for a year. She made very clear statements of total support for Israel. She was confronted by the left to change course and she told them to go fuck themselves.

Jesus christ ppl don’t downvote someone for respectfully asking a question.

War criminals like war criminals

What if the person gives him the gun, tells him how to find his target, watches him kill, and keep killing. And whenever his gun runs out of ammo he helps him reload it. And whenever anyone tries to stop the killer, this person prevents it because they are the biggest and toughest guy around?

The united states is just as culpable as israel

“Slowly, I told myself that evolution failed itself by giving a bit more individual selfishness over community/species survival.”

There are a lot of great answers here already, but I would like to put forth the anticapitalist position that the quote above is likely false. Humans can work together, we have developed systems of cooperation that can deter selfishness from destroying a community. This is possible (and despite decades of propaghanda…popular!) What is stopping it is the greed for wealth and power of the 1% at the expense of everyone else and the planet. The masses of people are constantly trying to stop this, and mostly fail. But cracks in their power do open occasionally, and you just have to do what you can until a Crack is available for you to help widen. I think it’s possible to win, but not through personal lifestyle changes and voting alone. Only through activism and protest is it possible. Most humans keep trying to solve this, and that gives me hope.

Ah yes the infamous dinner she had with Russian notable. Having a dinner with a foreign power obviously means you are a paid spy to disrupt elections. Lots of dots to connect there!

It’s true. She’s speaks truth to power and is therefore kept out of political discussion.

Israeli military is funded by the US. They are given weapons. They are given logistical and intelligence support by the US. They are given diplomatic support. They are trained by the US. In almost everything but name, they are a US force. They would not exist without US support.

Joe Biden can tell them what to do at any time, and he chooses to ok the genocide.

A: Gazan genocide

Problem is there is still months and months of spinning the story. With all he has done it probably won’t be hard to win them back.

Early in the article: “Poll numbers have dropped due to his handling of Israel and Hamas”

Hmm, how could he handle this one? Stop sending weapons and $$$ to Israel?

Later in the article: “Some advisers have told him he should walk faster out of concern that his gait feeds impressions that he’s too old”

I’m thinking of switching to Tidal. I’ve had YouTube music for awhile and I like it, but I just learned they fired a huge chunk of their staff after they unionized and that pissed me off. Anybody know how their rock and jazz selection is, especially with smaller lesser known artists?

my guess is that later we will hear “gosh darnit we really tried with the food and it didn’t quite get there” meanwhile not one arms shipment will ever be late.

This is Biden creating a headline to try to slow down or stop people from becoming aware that he is (along with the rest of our govt) committing genocide

God its so fucking tone deaf to post shit like this. It’s one thing to reluctantly support Biden but to cheerlead him while he massacres thousands is beyond gross.

Pretty frustrating interview, I didn’t grasp what his actual issues ate with AI. I guess I’ll look for other articles somewhere else

Counter measures against warlordism would be crucial for effective anarchism for sure!

I think the easiest approach to anarchism is searching for Chomsky talking about it.

This is correct. If society becomes a place where a few people are running everything by force it is not anarchy, even if technically there are no written down laws. A lot of anarchist philosophy is about how to achieve and maintain anarchy without it devolving back into hierarchical power structures. There are a lot of different ideas that have spawned their own subgenre of anarchy. I personally think some checks and balances combination of unions and community councils is the most likely to succeed. This is anarcho-syndicalism.

I don’t think thats true. Housing prices are high everywhere, I have friends and family in the midwest their shit is out of control too. New York and San Fran are the most extreme for sure but costs of renting or buying have like tripled everywhere over the last decade
