I can’t wait until the day the employees in his company finally decide that enough is enough with robber barons like him and cause an untold militant labor strike against him.

What about the skyrocketing antisemitism occurring around the world?
-
Most of the citizens in every developed country is very much against this now.
-
Yeah, and now Israel has become as much of a pariah as Russia and North Korea is. I fear that Israel may not even survive as a country anymore because of this war.

I really think that the Jews really should've been given at least half of Germany after WWII as a major form of reparations for them. Looking back, it's very obvious that the Zionists made a terrible mistake by deciding to make their home state in the middle of a fucking primitive region of the world.

But wouldn't they become completely ostracized from the international community and lose all of their allies in the end if this goes on for decades? Also, does this mean that there is no hope for the pro-Palestinian movement to ever succeed? Are all of the pro-Palestinian protestors around the world just wasting their time completely?

So, there's no hope for Israel to evolve as a society for decades, right? Mearsheimer says that the country is essentially doomed. I think the creation of Israel a country was tragically a failed experiment for the Jews.

I've always been a staunch supporter of Israel..... but after watching these videos I feel like I've been deceived by Israel for so long. It's no wonder when I went on that Birthright trip to Israel that I thought that a lot of the people in the country looked attractive and why a lot of them there liked to party a lot. I mean I always knew that they were trying to encourage Jews in America to come live in Israel, but I never really knew before that part of it was for building their military power for oppressing innocent palestinians. However, I know that a lot of secular jews have been leaving Israel. So, I wonder if Israel's military will shrink.

Yeah, Musk kinda ruined it for Trump:
-
I am not sure how Elon Musk campaigning out there with Trump helps him. Elon Musk can try all he wants to make himself look like a man of people, but at the end of the day, he still gives off that vibe of being an elitist globalist nerd who is so out of touch with everyday people.

Even if Harris become president and the Democrats win back the House and keep the Senate, the Democrats will still continue to arm and fund Israel to the hilt.

The Fairness Doctrine, which was in effect from 1949 to 1987, required broadcasters to present balanced and diverse perspectives on controversial issues. If reenacted for current times, it could significantly impact the media landscape. Here are potential implications: Positive effects: Increased diversity of viewpoints: Media outlets would need to present diverse perspectives, potentially reducing echo chambers and promoting informed discourse. Reduced misinformation: By requiring balanced coverage, the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories might decrease. Improved public discourse: The doctrine could foster more nuanced and respectful discussions, encouraging critical thinking. Negative effects: Regulatory challenges: Enforcement would require significant resources and potentially infringe on free speech. Determining "balance": Regulators would face difficulties defining and measuring balance, potentially leading to subjective decisions. Potential censorship: Overly broad interpretation could stifle controversial or minority viewpoints. Modern considerations: Digital media: The doctrine would need to address online platforms, social media, and podcasts, which challenge traditional broadcasting regulations. News cycles: The 24-hour news cycle and social media's rapid information dissemination would require adaptable regulations. First Amendment concerns: Any doctrine would need to carefully balance free speech protections with fairness and balance requirements. I firmly believe that something like that would greatly heal the terrible divis in our country, restore functional bipartisan consensus in Congress and the state legislatures, and it would prevent another proto-fascist like Trump from ever rising to power again.

Netanyahu has turned out to be arguably the most incompetent and corrupt Prime Minister in modern Israeli history. All of the Israeli victims who were killed and/or taken as hostages from Hamas happened under his watch. Bibi doesn't really care about his people. He only cares about his own worldview and preserving power.
-
but how will we ever overcome these current echo chambers?
-
Yeah, and the GOP has always claimed themselves to be the party of Law and Order since the Nixon presidency. What a joke.
-
Yeah, well I think it’s very unfair that a lot of women aren’t called out for being creeps or perverts like a lot of men are.
-
But teenage girls and women in their prime have tons of estrogen. So, then why aren’t they horny as often as men are?
-
But even if Israel were destroy a nuclear facility in Iran by military force, it still wouldn't stop Iran from building nuclear weapons.

I would think that he would do a much better job of handling something like this than the way Bush handled Hurricane Katrina back in 2005. Every time I think back to what happened back then with Hurricane Katrina, I always snicker over how terrible of a job Bush did back then with mitigating that disaster. I remember when Bush said to the head of FEMA at the time, Michael D. Brown, whom Bush appointed, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job." That was another prime example of unbelievable tone-deaf leadership. It also was one of the first time I really began to realize how racist the right-wing was as I remember Tucker Carlson back then was like "Well, what about all of the looting that many African Americans are doing now?" -

Shit. I am so sorry about that. OP, are you, your family, and your friends physically okay? -
I thought that the economies of most countries in the middle east have gotten worst over time because of: Dependence on oil exports Corruption and poor governance Lack of economic diversification Political instability and conflicts Limited institutional capacity Inequality and social unrest wars globalization
-
Where else besides Saudi Arabia and the UAE has been there any real progress in the Middle East? Israel is going backwards in its development. The other countries in the region seem to be stuck in primitive stages.
-
So much for the Middle East being more civilized and developed than ever before.

I guess that’s why even the CCP in China had to eventually allow at some freedom of religion in their country by the 1980s. -

Why a leader like Hitler?! We need a leader like FDR or Winston Churchill to truly save the world.
