  • I mean, ya, there's a lot of Palestinians there. That's because Israel took their land. There's also a lot of black people in South Africa, even during apartheid, too. But tons of them were still pushed off their homes into tiny strips of land in Gaza and the West Bank, so now the majority are in those other places. The same thing happened to the natives in the US.

    IDF don't target civilians explicitly but they also don't seem to care about them. They've killed thousands more civilians than Hamas has with the barest of excuses, all to find Hamas not really caring about collateral. That's what happens when you drop bombs all over the place. And the fear and terror and horrible quality of life causes things like Hamas. Hamas sucks, I'm sure they would kill more if they could, but Israel has the power in this relationship. When non-violent protests lead to killed or getting your knees blown off, or to nothing at all (like most protests for Palestinians have been for the last near century), when there's no hope or chance of growth, the average is 18 and you're probably never going to grow old or successful, then people turn to monsters like Hamas.

  • They're broken up because of some allegations. I'm sorry you have to learn this way. I never saw them live but have always wanted to, now I can't.

  • That one was devastating 😭

  • I imagine your perspective also changes if the missiles were landing and killing people, innocent civilians all around you, your house, hospitals, etc. That's what it's like for the people in Gaza. It also looks pretty suspicious when there's lots of immigrants in Israel and mostly Palestinians in a separate cordoned off area (kinda like an apartheid state).

  • Oh wow, thanks for the recommendation! That looks a lot more comfortable than the normal sleep masks I get. It also looks like it might last longer, because often the elastic on my normal sleep masks stretch over time and start falling off my face. I should save this comment, maybe this whole thread lol.

  • Was going to say my sleep mask. My partner needs a TV show on when she goes to sleep, I need pitch black. The sleep mask has made it possible to sleep in the same bed.

  • Capitalism is good at raising production, generating lots of products very quickly and efficiently. But it's notoriously terrible at actually distributing resources in a fair way. Like, that's it's biggest weakness and the things it's worst at.

    Communism has the opposite issue of not usually being able to make enough things in the beginning, which is why Marx thought it would happen in already industrialized nations, not poor peasant states like Russia or China.

  • Not to mention that the whole idea behind the Fed raising interest rates and "cooling off the economy" is to raise unemployment, lower employee bargaining power, and therefore keep wages low.

  • That's basically what my partner and I do with Bob's Burgers. I want to watch new things but I basically have to wait for days where she's not there lol.
