  1. In your opinion, what's an example of such an organization? And why? What are the US's interests in that case?
  2. > Lei Cidade Limpa (Portuguese for clean city law) is a law of the city of São Paulo, Brazil, put into law by proclamation in 2006 that prohibits advertising such as outdoor posters.

  3. I’m saying the creation of Israel caused the expulsion of the Jews from the surrounding countries. No Israeli state, no expulsion.
  4. Sorry that happened to your family. The Zionist project has killed a lot of innocents.

    > 800k Jews were kicked out of middle eastern countries

    As a result of the creation of Israel.

    As for Jews killed or terrorized into leaving Baghdad: Israeli historian Avi Schliem (whose family fled Baghdad to Israel after the Baghdad bombings) says Iraqi Zionists were responsible for some of those bombings in his latest book.

    Finally, should Jews who had their lands stolen in the name of Zionism have their lands back? In a just world, yes.

  5. This is hasbara. You need to learn more about Israeli history. Hamas was elected with the support of Netanyahu et al. And 50% of the people in Gaza weren’t even alive when Hamas was elected. (However many of them remain. The death toll after Oct 7 will probably be around 500,000 dead)

    Israel has never been interested in a peace deal.

    It is a settler colonialist project in the finest traditions of such with the aim of conquering the entire region. And the US and friends support it for racist and capitalist reasons.

  6. > It shouldn't be the job of the US taxpayer to feed someone that doesn't want to work, study, or pass a drug test

    What about someone who works and still can’t afford enough housing/food?

    > shouldn't be the job of the US taxpayer to feed another country's citizens half a world away.

    I mean where’s the profit in that, am i right?

  7. You can add Syria, Lebanon, and Ukraine to the list.

    And of all these countries, nobody screws w/ N Korea. (Nukes!)

  8. The study seems to say

    1) kids with worse mental health use social media more (unhealthily)

    2) parenting is (very) important

    Ok. Sounds about right. There is still a negative correlation with social media and mental health. So not seeing how this one paper shows we shouldn’t reasonably restrict social media.

    This is a conservative angle on the problem: it’s about individual choices (or individual innate fitness) not about dangerous products in society. Not sure why we should ignore the fact that people are profiting of these dangerous products. And that these are man made dangers made for profit, not wild animals that just exist in nature.

  9. A good starting point
  10. what evidence have you found that in?
  11. They tell me i’m being hysterical when I call the regime fascist. Ok, buddy.
  12. The only one being hysterical is you.

    Please tell me what’s the appropriate label.

  13. How exactly is reporting on CECOT hysteria?

    I guess you have no problem with erosion of liberal freedoms as long as you’re not affected.

  14. We shouldn’t anthropomorphize any billionaires. They’re not even people at that point, just destructive aliens who undemocratically ruin everyone’s good time.

    We need confiscatory taxation for a better future.

  15. Small government leads to big capitalism which is its own kind of tyranny. Our current problems are not because government is too big.

    Powerful regulation which answers to the people is the answer.

  16. Pattern of… what? Misrepresenting the administration? Or immigrant (and others) detention?

    On the other hand the thin-skinned fascists in the admin have a history of trying to silence the truth about them.

  17. This interview with Sandeep Vaheesan on the history of public power in the US was super interesting. Relevant.

  18. > largely due to fleeing anti-semitism in those countries

    I thought it was mainly being expelled after the creation of Israel. Sometimes with encouragement of Israel.

    > In any case it seems to be quite clear that the extreme UN bias against Israel largely comes not from the colonial aspects of Israel's creation but rather from the various degrees of anti-semitism that is pervasive in many countries to this day.

    Israel rather than being the victim of racism is a major perpetrator of it. In fact, the Israel project foments anti Semitism around the world. This is especially sad for those non-Zionist Jews who want to live their lives in peace free of discrimination.

  19. Israel is a colonialist occupation project. So the UN being "biased" against it is good and correct.
  20. sending a warning to other ICC judges/employees.
  21. > I think the ICC has much bigger credibility issues trying to impose jurisdiction over conflicts involving countries that are not parties to the Rome Statute.

    such as…?

  22. but also: exploit the oil
  23. > Neither of us had prior experience developing mobile apps, but we thought, “Hey, we’re both smart. This shouldn’t be too difficult.”

    Is this an actual quote? Because it sounds like a standup joke.

  24. Thugs is as thugs does.

    They're detaining citizens:

    They're doing it because they're brown:

    They're deporting them third countries:

    > We should think about the consequences of letting in tens of million of illegals instead.

    What are the consequences exactly?

  25. Clever snark!

    We should think about the consequences to everyone’s lives of having thugs cosplaying as soldiers running around disappearing innocent people off the streets because they’re brown.
