Every single endeavor that musk is involved in, is toxic af. He, and all of this businesses, are cancers metastasizing within our society. We really should remove them.
Oh, I forgot about the time that nonviolent protest ended slavery in the US. Sorry ‘bout that.
This is the part where genocidal freaks, like yourself, claim that Israel, and the US, don’t target civilians. Got it. That is of course a laughably inaccurate characterization of US and Israeli policy.
I also love it when the people with all the power proclaim the wonders and efficacy of peaceful resistance. How convenient for the entrenched power. I’m tempted to call out the origin of the United States, which was violent resistance to an oppressive regime. Funny how we find that story inspiring, but deride anybody else’s struggle to escape our own oppression.
I just love western logic that decries killing civilians as terrorism when one side does it, but rationalizes the same act when the other side does it in an efficient, mechanized way with orders of magnitude more death and destruction.
Hamas is justifiably resisting a violent occupation. Also, the US has been participating far more directly in the apartheid and genocide than just supplying munitions.
I’d just like to take this opportunity to say “fuck you” to all the service people flying these planes, planning the logistics, and otherwise operating at the behest of our sadistic federal government. Sure, the civilian leadership is ultimately at fault here, but y’all are humans with agency. I’m no longer carving out culpability from these goddamn people anymore. Fuck you terrorists. If we escalate yet another war, I’ll plan to spit on you when you arrive back broken and dead. Bring on the downvotes.
Israel does not want world war 3. They want to seize territory, establish regional hegemony, and build out their ethnically pure, fascist empire. All of that is terrible and they deserve to be wiped from the map for trying. They do want the US to fight their war for dominance for them, so they are trying to manipulate the US into ever more participation in the project. But, world war isn’t the goal.
Well, I never said they were. They aren’t the only ones being targeted. The kind of pedantic excuse crafting that you’re doing right here, is the kind of nonsensical rationalization that is always deployed when that vicious, violent, predatory nation does what it always does.
Well this is Israel’s big skillset. They are a culture organized around the oppression and murder of innocents.
For the sake of peace and the wellbeing of all the people living in that part of the world, I desperately hope that Iran is much closer to developing a nuclear weapon than the world knows. Israel is an unspeakably evil, and relentlessly provocative entity that is as deserving of dismantling as any of the notorious fascist monsters we typically call out in history. A nuclear capability will at least provide some kind of meaningful check against the violent tendencies of the US and its vicious client state.
Doesn’t need to be ‘willing’.
Oh I hope this is true. I’m no fan of the Iranian government, but for the safety of their people and stability in the region, they should have nukes.
I’m not an expert, but I’ve been observing investment behavior for a while now. I’ve watched VC behavior, and the behavior of retail investors on the stock market. I’ve watched analysts, owned some stocks and worked with investor relations for a technology company, and I’ve participated in an IPO. I’ve also listened to executives talk about ‘valuations’ behind the scenes. Over time, I’ve become convinced that there is no real “market” operating the way that most people who advocate for the benefits of market dynamics define it. It’s not allocating capital based on anything related to merit and it isn’t efficient in any real way. These valuations are largely arbitrary and manipulated by a choreography of marketing, fraud, and the continuously nurtured delusions that some parts of the market (like journalists and analysts) are objective, and that the majority of normal investors are actually able to make informed decisions. In short, I have no confidence that Neuralink is actually worth that much. But, in the end, almost no one cares and almost no one participating in these “markets” has any interest in the supposed benefits to society that markets bring. That is why society keeps getting worse the longer it is being shaped by the parlor game that is our economy.
There’s an obvious reason. It’s a fucking Tesla.
I basically agree with you assessment of the US. You are either unaware of or ignoring the nuance I added to the description of my position elsewhere in the thread. But, whatever.
I’m not talking about the existence of Israel, or some asshole’s conspiracy lunacy. I’m just talking about the brutality and crimes of Israel.
Are you saying that because you don’t know any Jewish people that have a problem with Israel’s actions, that being a supporter of Israel is part of being Jewish? Are you really comfortable making such a generalization?
Nope. Not even close. Stop making stuff up asshole. As I have explained elsewhere on the thread, culpability is relative to role/actions and the severity of the organization’s crimes. I also explained that none of this violence is good. I’m not advocating for violence, I’m explaining that is inevitable when people and organizations perpetuate unbelievable violence, it’s going to blow back. I DONT WANT VIOLENCE. That’s why I’m so outraged at Israel’s fucking violence.
No.
Point #1: Conflating the idea of ‘support for Israel’ with Judaism is antisemitic. While support for Israel is a thing that many Jewish people do, it is not a characteristic of being Jewish.
Point #2: Conflating violence against supporters of Israel as being necessarily violence against Jewish people depends on and reinforces point #1, and is therefore antisemitic.
Israel and many of its supporters want to make these conflations, because they want to frame any critique of the nation or its actions as a critique of Jewish people. Basically, they want to launder their crimes behind the goodwill that people have toward Jewish people. That is inaccurate, unfair, and dangerous. Unfortunately, it is infused in most of the media coverage of these murders, and being used to provide cover for Israel’s genocide and other crimes. I’m just calling it out when I encounter it.
Fighting fascism, together.
