This guy is apparently going to consult the White House in a few weeks. He’s persuasively arguing the risks of further entanglements. So I don’t think it’ll continue long.

It has many. But he’s not going rogue, most of the government was supported by lobbies who support it. Technically the power to declare was was in congress but congress let go of the power and most of the past wars were done unilaterally by the president.

- when Hamas was elected they offered a long term ceasefire in exchange for Israel ending the occupation, rather than even negotiate this Israel attempted a coup then blockaded Gaza purposefully to punish the civilian population. Most of Gazas residents weren’t born or didn’t vote for Hamas during the last election. Currently Hamas said they’d disarm to the PA, the PA agreed to two states and ceased armed resistance to Israel, yet Israel refuses to let this happen. - so will you stop infantalizing Israelis? They voted in Likud multiple times, likud refused to end the war it waged on Gaza through blockades and strikes, and even sent funds to Hamas while reducing their own Gaza border security because they wanted more forces to help illegal settlers stealing land. By your own standards you should say they deserve Oct 7 and you don’t feel bad for them. But you won’t because unlike Palestinians you don’t accept dehumanization of Israelis, it’s just Palestinians who you think somehow should accept constant violence and oppression from Israel. - notice how you’re ignoring the West Bank because the apartheid and colonization of millions of people conflicts with your Israel can do no wrong narrative - False, israel rejected it. Hamas also wasn’t a governing power at that point so their rejection didn’t matter much.

The first intifada was after decades of occupation with no end in site. Why do you keep acting like Palestinians revolt out of nowhere? - actually the PLO initially called for a equal binational state from the river to the sea - the ruling party of Israel also calls for Israeli control from the river to the sea, which is the destruction of Palestine - once again, for the third time, the Arab states offered full normalization with Israel if they ended the occupation, instead israel expanded settlements and funded Hamas. - Israel keeps Palestinian under an apartheid, somehow accepting them to accept that as “join us in the 21st century” is like saying South Africans should be modern and have accepted apartheid.

Like I said, you’ve consumed propaganda and don’t understand basic facts about the conflict leading to your close minded view and justification of war crimes. I didn’t link to any echo chamber, the Arab peace initiative is a public offer on the table. The former head of shin bet admitted they’d have peace if they accepted it. You don’t even know what this is and just act like it doesn’t exist because it conflicts with your predetermined bias. The deal Arafat walked away from was calling for israel annexing large swaths of Palestinian land and controlling borders, airspace, and having a military base on the territory and the right to invade any time, it was permanent occupation, the American negotiator themselves said they’d reject this deal and israel refused to negotiate further. Israel has been consuming the West Bank, which hasn’t had a rocket attack in decades. Stop ignoring this point, explain to me how installing religious extremists onto Palestinian land and letting them attack civilians is just because Israel wants self defense? Israel itself considers blockades acts of war, they had Gaza under blockade, they had killed dozens of children in the West Bank that year before Oct 7. What you say is the opposite, the world ignores this, then when Palestinians resist it you say they started it and use that to justify further war crimes. Israel doesn’t have official borders for this reason, because their goal is expansion. You continue to ignore the question. If israel wants peace why did they expand settlements and fund Hamas to weaken the PA after the PA gave up armed resistance? Why do they reject the Arab peace initiative.

Again your comments show a massive lack of knowledge about the conflict and dehumanizing rhetoric / double standards Just for starters, - completely ignoring the peace initiatives supported by Arab states and Palestinians like the Arab peace initiative which I brought up - complaining only Israel and the US are blamed yet removing all blame from them by ignoring the US vetoing every diplomatic solution at the UN and blaming Hamas for war crimes israel commits, ignoring how the PA ceased armed resistance to Israel yet Israel ramped up violence against West Bank Palestinians - why is Hamas to blame for killing civilians in response to Israeli occupation and violence, but israel isn’t to blame when they massacre hundreds in bread lines, block food and medicine to starve children, block rescue equipment and destroy 70% of residential infrastructure to leave thousands buried under rubble. It’s a blatant double standard to justify violence against Palestinians. - blaming Palestinians for arabs collectively and blaming arabs collectively such as suggesting they don’t deserve human rights because of what your random friend said. Some Jews say the holocaust was punishment from god, should we just conclude Jews deserve the holocaust since we are assigning collective blame based on what individuals say? - Qatar sent money to Hamas at the direction of Israel because Israel wanted to make Hamas stronger because they were designated terrorists by the US so it would stop israel having to negotiate peace, this was the stated aim. Was your reaction to Oct 7 “israel has blood on its hands for letting settlers attack civilians and funding Hamas to continue it”? The Arab states ignore the Palestinians because they don’t want to enable Israel’s war crimes and the US lobbies them to not defend their rights. The US was actually pressuring the Arab states to normalize with Israel without Israel ending its constant violence and occupation of Palestine which spurred Oct 7 to try and stop the world leaving them to permanent occupation. You ignore all of this context to somehow imply because Arabs don’t solve the problem they are blocked from solving Palestinians deserve not having basic human rights. Really you don’t realize it but you’re exactly the person who would have excused apartheid South Africa and the Jim Crow south. Whatever rationalizations, deflections, and excuses necessary to blame the victims of injustices placed upon them.

YouTube doesn’t pay enough and Comedy Central already has the daily show, three political comedy talk shows would be pushing it

Netflix has withdrawn its offer to buy Warner Bros / Discovery, so Paramount will be buying it. Paramount is controlled by David Ellison, a Trump supporting billionaire who already got control of CBS and put Bari Weiss in charge. His father Larry Ellison is the founder of tech company Oracle and a major Trump donor and largest individual donor the IDF, he recently got control of Tiktok, and once said he supports mass surveillance because it will make citizens “be on their best behavior”. Soon after the purchase Tiktok banned the Emmy award winning Palestinian journalist Bisan who covered the Gaza conflict.

1) by that logic israel brought Oct 7 on themselves through the illegal blockade of Gaza and constant massacres of Palestinians, this is collective punishment, justifying civilian deaths collectively is a sign of low cognitive development and a lack of morality. 2) That’s a complete lie. The PLO pushed for a equal federation for decades before relenting to a partition. Palestinians agreed to the Arab peace initiative, israel built settlements to sabotage it. Even Hamas proposed a long term ceasefire for ending the occupation and later disarming which Israel still rejects. Israel continued its war on Palestine perpetually then plays victim when they resist occupation. If you can’t sympathize with thousands of children being killed or millions of people occupied without basic human rights, you are just stuck at a lower developmental stage, who falls easily for propaganda and selectively ignores the constant blocking and violence towards Palestinians who do seek peaceful resolutions as a way to demonize them when they turn to violence to defend themselves. It’s also a stupidly ahistorical way to demonize a group, every population in history subjective to violent occupation does decades has groups that eventually turn to violence to resist it.

No, you just don’t understand statistics. Having casual sex doesn’t mean sleeping with dozens of people. https://zipdo.co/casual-sex-statistics/?utm_source=chatgpt.com Correct, you were wrong and were promptly corrected. I am glad you swallowed your pride and learned. Now do so again.

He’s trying to do some weird sarcasm thing to prove a point he made in a previous thread where he got resoundingly mocked for saying conservatism encourages casual sex and other absurd notions

Most men don’t have casual sex either regularly, the average partner count for men is only slightly higher than women. Also, other studies indicate men tend to slightly exaggerate their count where women slightly undervalue theirs. One study had college students put up to a lie detector and found when aware of it women reported having slightly more average partners the men.
