Yeah, I see denouncing and illustrating terrorist attacks as a good thing.

Palestine isn’t a state. It never became it state. It never has been a state.

Palestinians knew who they were when they elected them.

Getting rid of misinformation is great.

Getting rid of accurately reported, gruesome images because of a government mandate flies in the face of the core principles of free speech. And it would cause real damage to the world.

Remember that it was only when the world actually saw images of the Nazi concentration camps that the world actually believed it. They’d heard about it for years, but it was largely ignored.

Horseshit.

When hundreds of civilians are murdered by terrorist, that’s not the moment to talk about rewarding the terrorists, which is exactly what they are asking Israel to do.

To be ABSOLUTELY CLEAR: Israel has offered peace deals and two state solutions many times before. Palestinians always walk away.

So this should be the moment that progressive turn to the PALESTINIANS and say, time for YOU to end the occupation by taking a peace deal that isn’t your favorite, because this terrorism shit is 1000% evil and unacceptable.

We have a lot of nightmare scenarios in the future: Trump wins, Trump loses and we get insurrection part II, Biden wins and we don’t take the house and keep the Senate, and we have at least 2 more years of gridlock while our lives continue to get shittier, etc etc.

The true tragedy is that there isn’t even a good outcome in the mix. Biden wins and Democrats take Congress. Fine, will they fix the courts? Fix student loans? Will they even try for universal healthcare? Universal Basic Income? Anything even close to meeting the moment?

So depressing.

Anyway, vote Biden so at least we don’t wind up in a fascist dictatorship.

Sorry, but the UN’s anti-Israel bias is extremely well documented. They’ve earned my skepticism and yours.

Again, the sources are suspect. The UN has been widely, absurdly anti-Israel to an absolutely comical extent.

According to who?

You have to take these stories with a grain of salt.

Do you remember the Jenin massacre?

Do you remember all the awful things that the Israelis did? It was horrific.

… Except …

It never happened. The Palestinians lied about it.

Israel has never targeted civilians. Palestinians have always targeted civilians.

Hamas uses civilians as meat shields.

When people like you take INTENT out of the equation, your just doing Hamas’s bidding.

I feel sorry for these folks. They have no idea what’s about to happen.

This is just the smallest tip of the iceberg.

I’ve been working with gpt-4 since the week it came out, and I guarantee you that even if it never became any more advanced, it could already put at least 30% of the white collar workforce out of business.

The only reason it hasn’t is because companies have barely started to comprehend what it can do.

Within 5 years the entire world will have been revolutionized by this technology. Jobs will evaporate faster than anyone is talking about.

If you’re very smart, and you begin to use gpt-4 to write the tools that will replace you, then you MIGHT have 10 good years left in this economy before humans are all but obsolete.

If you’re not staying up nights, scared shitless by what’s coming, it’s because you don’t really understand what gpt-4 can do.

McCarthy: “hard-right Republicans want to burn the whole place down!”

Moderate Democrats: “so you’ll work with us instead, to pass legislation that keeps the lights on, and addresses some of the problems we both agree exist?”

McCarthy: “No. Fuck you. Die in a fire.”

AOC pulls the party to the left with her rhetoric, and then lends her support to strengthen the party as a whole.

In this political environment, when the opposition is literally a fascist cult, it’s great that she’s being a team player.

Also when she eventually does run for president, she won’t have alienated the party.

She has handled it perfectly.

No… Don’t you see?

No matter how centrist or moderate democratic candidate is, the Republicans call them communist, socialist pedophiles.

They’ve painted themselves into a corner. We could nominate a full-on Marxist flag-burner, and they would have nothing left to say about them that they didn’t already say about Obama and Biden.

I can’t wait for her to be president!

It’s not an American problem, it’s a Republican problem.

They aren’t pro-birth. If they were pro-birth they would be for universal healthcare coverage of birth expenses.

They are pro-controlling women’s bodies.

Good!

Anti-nuclear is like anti-GMO and anti-vax: pure ignorance, and fear of that which they don’t understand.

Nuclear power is the ONLY form of clean energy that can be scaled up in time to save us from the worst of climate change.

We’ve had the cure for climate change all along, but fear that we’d do another Chernobyl has scared us away from it.

Think of it this way:

It’s indisputably evil what the United States did in stealing land and commiting genocide against the Native Americans. (I’d argue that Israel’s founding was far more just, but let’s say for a moment that it was equally horrific).

So, if today, Native Americans were launching thousands of rockets from their reservations, targeting civilians, targeting kids, and saying they won’t stop until we give them California, New York, New England, half of Washington DC, AND adopt a political reform that will inevitably lead to dissolving democracy and replacing it with a theocracy…

What the hell would you say the solution to that is?

At what point would you say to the Native Americans, “what happened to you was a tragedy, but the reality is we’re so far down this road it will never be undone. We need to find a way to move forward with that shared reality”?

Because that’s the situation in Israel.

The Palestinians are demanding (with no leverage) that Israel adopt a peace deal that would destroy Israel’s form of government and their ability to defend themselves from hostile nations (which they are surrounded by).

Israel will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever do that. They can’t. It would be governmental malpractice to do it.

So what, they are just supposed to let the Palestinians launch thousands of rockets at them … out of guilt?

There’s only ONE way this ends: Palestinians admit that they lost. It might not be fair. It might not be justice. But it is REALITY.

And then they need to take the best peace deal Israel is willing to offer.

… this is the reality they walked away from 20+ years ago.

That’s an entire generation of Palestinian children growing up in an incredibly shitty situation.

Meanwhile, Israel said “fuck this”, built an iron dome defense system, built a border fence, and have economically thrived.

They can literally keep going like this indefinitely. And as time goes on they only get more and more bitter at the Palestinian terrorism. So they keep leaning harder and harder on hardliner politicians, who say "well, if Palestinians are going to be our enemies no matter what, why shouldn’t we just take and take and take?
