  • Okay so are you asserting the attack on the Nova Music Festival was justified and Israel should have done nothing at all in response? Is the solution you’re proposing is the death or exodus of every Israelite? Fat fucking chance getting that outcome, pal.

    In my opinion, Hamas are not the good guys, they started this war, and Israel is a horrible place filled with horrible people committing a genocide. I just don’t see any positive outcomes from having any other opinion, I’m incapable of seeing any good come from your pointless inflammatory comments.

    The way it starts out talking about pills makes me think it’s referring to antidepressants or ADHD medication, or some such.

    I feel like some people can and should benefit from pills to control their emotional states and focus, but I also agree that it comes with risks as well and that not everyone should take such medications.

    I also think promoting such medications and treatments to people can be very bad and that it should only be a choice made between an individual and their physician with acceptable input from their immediate family, and likewise physicians need to be wary of these medications and not be swept up by promises of more money or by corporate propaganda.

    But I still believe in science and medicine and that these pills do indeed exist and can help people.

    P.S. You do realize that #redpill is something conservatives use to describe conservative ideology, yes?


  • People who have good ideas and want to implement them and even run for office exist, today. But politics is a difficult game to win when you make more enemies than allies.

    Also, the more immediate and impactful reform you advocate for, the less likely any of it is to succeed as it would take increasingly more money and labor to do. Even China does reforms as part of a 5 year plan. Even if, for example, the USA’s DNC got the reigns to start reforms like transitioning to green energy, codifying bodily autonomy in the constitution, and passing Universal Healthcare and Universal Basic Income: if they don’t get everything they promised passed before losing their supermajority then voters will blame them for not accomplishing it.

    That’s why Bernie Sanders succeeded where so many have failed. He didn’t fight the system, he wants to fix every individual problem with it until eventually it stops being what it is.
