You’re talented, like I said!

I look forward to reading you

Probably, not sure.

But you are combining your right to free speech with propagating propaganda. So it’s hard to find daylight between them.

If it’s any consolation I think you are a natural rallying point for the zionists here, you have natural talent to being a focal point on the debate, bringing out the worst in many.

Very rare though

I was talking about the internal state of the USA and how it is not changing from its normal.

All the above what you said is true, but is not an increase of resistance from what is seen from years past.

Americans, as a group, cannot organize to resist; and this stops political violence from increasing

I don’t see dozens killed or wounded daily, due to political violence?

I don’t see a lot of violence happening by any side in the USA.

The social structures to promote a real resistance are simply gone, and have been eroded for decades. Without a real opposition the ice and their supporters will have nothing consistent to react against

I think there will be sporadic low key violence but nothing beyond a few individuals. And I think a lot Americans will be ashamed later as they just let these crimes happen, they will feel frustrated and become keyboard warriors.

Not all problems can be solved using one method

I think it sometimes can be the case

Often a larger problem can be solved by lots of smaller problems being at cross purposes

I don’t think Egypt as being in the western camp so much as walking a tightrope.

This sale helped Chinese soft power as much as its defense industry

These comments are an eye opening experience for me; and I’m not sure I like that feature. It seems whatever the good it does, it’s open for endless abuse because at the end of the day, we are all human and petty at times.

The true power of the fediverse is that little dictatorships should, in principle, balance out each other

I normally hate on world news, in fact I have blocked it for quite a while out of disgust.

But this is a correct call, they did good here. The source is bad, it’s widely known to be propaganda, and its uncritical spread by USA mainstream media is a seen as a massive failure of journalistic integrity.

In other words, if the world news mods see this as a bridge too far, then other pro Israeli people should use caution when passing this blindly.

If one wants to know more about the hostages and what they suffered, read independent Israeli media instead.

Laughs in randomly chosen for enhanced checking…

While I think the mod is just doing regular mod stuff; that is an overly broad rule to justify it.

I think one can argue that excellence to our fellow beings would be a revolution that burns all those houses down!

They need an anti insurrection rule on that community, to fit with their plain, vanilla, safe guidelines

I also think our primate brains simply cannot handle being in a group larger than some small number; and most of us have lost the ability to shrink back down to that level of interactions for sustaining ourselves .

So we have exceeded our design parameters.

I like the documentaries that show how some renegade humans are trying to save a small percentage of the remaining life from other humans.

Those are my truest heroes .

Please remember individual humans do not suck, but any large group we make is deadly

Any decent political organization cannot give equal rights to those who want to hurt others. One can be as kind and gentle about that as possible, but ultimately that rests on violence, or at least the threat of violence, to keep the peace.

Any violence, or threat of such, is by definition dehumanizing at some level.

The democrats are necessary for the establishment, they act as the good side while continuing to the decline of the country.

They detract from the fact the USA is not a democracy. And they will never go away. Most likely they will come into power again by winning congress next year and the presidency again after that.

But their wins only solidify the overt corruption of the republicans, who themselves will win again in the next one or two election cycles after that .

This is possible because enough votes are counted by private companies who do not have their counts verified.

This is a very expensive game of “good cop, bad cop”. A mutual codependency . It’s been going on for decades, and every iteration of it moves money from the lower classes to the super rich

It took me way too long to find and unsubscribe from all the communities you moderate.
