Do you know what’s worse than stimulating your fear response? Stimulating your anger response. And millions of people choose do that daily in their interactions with social media.

Those kids are going to love Israel growing up. I wonder which organization could they join to show their thanks.

Literally Plato’s Cave.

Humans are rationalizing creatures, much more than rational ones. Our first gut reaction is trying to make sense of why we think what we think and why we behave how we behave, rather than trying to figure out if it does actually make sense. If this natural tendency could be changed, the world would be far less of a shithole.

Being well aware about the limits of what you know makes you smarter than average, but it may also make you feel not so. So take this from a stranger: you deserve at least a little pride.

It’s still a bit of a mockery to ask employees on wheelchairs to get up and walk if they want their bonuses.

Workers of the worlds you mean?

Man, you sure are making a good argument against anarcho-capitalism.

Graphic design is my passion.

Why are y’all in the comments trying to act like one or another universalist position has to fit like a sock to all situations? There are debates where one side is blatantly wrong and the other is blatantly correct, debates where one side is wrong and the other has some points right, debates where both sides have some points right, debates where both sides would do well to return to school and debates where no side can be objetively correct because they’re discussing something intrinsically subjective. The “enlightened centrist” meme is useful to mock the stupid position that “the truth is always in the middle”, but if you think you’re always going to find someone in any debate who has the right answer, you’re going to find yourself siding with stupid shit all the time.

No wonder US and the IMF are applauding Milei’s plan.

This is very much not a good thing in my book. The IMF has a historical record of always recommending austerity policies that always fail to let the country staying afloat.

Lmao

Most of the currently conscripted Russian soldiers are there against their will.

In 2018, Netanyahu’s administration came up with a plan, according to the New York Times. As part of a peace agreement with Hamas, Qatar would bring millions into Gaza to distribute to Gazan families, the outlet reported. (…)

Though the money was meant for Gazan civilians, Western intelligence determined that Hamas was taking money from the funds to use themselves, the outlet reported.

Let’s take this at face value. 1) Why has Israeli media decried all sort of help towards Gaza Palestinians as “financing terrorism” if Netanyahu was willing to send them money himself? 2) If the Israeli government wanted to provide financial support to Palestinian civilians in Gaza, why not make the peace deal public? Why not establish criteria of transparency to make sure that the money got where it should have? 3) If you’re willing to send money to Gaza, why not send the required supplies yourself, when you’re the main country blockading it?

If we accept the narrative of the article, it is like Israel wanted the money to be misused.

Even if he personally has an ideological commitment to Zionism, he should be smart enough to not to say it out loud when it is clearly an issue that supposes a risk to his numbers.

The user who said “this crime is justified because of another crime” is rauls4. The user you replied to was arguing against rauls4’s comment.

Is this racist bait?

There’s a hell of a difference between calling random commenters “dickriders” and having your boss, whom you have a very unequal relationship with, berate you like this.

This is fine🔥🐶☕🔥

Yeah, your nickname is a great subtitle for half the submissions of this community.

While there are very notorious exceptions, a lot of the landowners and politicians committing and allowing this crime come from families who have lived in the territory for generations without having ever loved it, and would rather die rich in a desert than letting their children inherit green lands.
