you have to admit this is one hell of an edge case. the vast majority don’t have your sister’s ‘problem’

that’s all you got huh?

weaksauce. no refutation, no thesis just… lol.

god what a waste of time your entire existence must be.

Holy multi Strawman attack batman LOL.

Because it’s truly insane and will never get any support in real life.

It’s got lots of support IRL already. I support it, therefore your assertion of ‘never get support in real life’ is specious and incorrect.

Absolutely no one

bzzzt wrong again, I’d vote for estate tax reform in a heartbeat.

no one will vote in favor of the government confiscating all of your property when you die.

if this is what you think the estate tax is you’re incredibly stupid. yet another misrepresentation of reality to fit into your premise, but it’s so fucking dumb from the outset it doesn’t even warrant a reply. Yet here we are.

Tankie shit isn’t popular outside of a handful of message boards.

Taxing the ultra wealthy isn’t ‘tankie shit’ you fucking dirtbag. Cute attempt to associate ‘people who don’t think a few should horde all the wealth’ with ‘tankies’.

Your entire argument is lies and garbage. Please, just stop whatever weird piece of performance art this utter shitshow is.

give all the things you want. multiple BILLIONS of dollars? nah man.

imagine telling a grown adult one person shouldn’t horder 30% of the money. IMAGINE!

Man in NRA hat: Interfering? I’m fucking sponsoring it!

place your bets place your bets will it be a nazi, a klansman, a jihadist, death by cop (never discount the possibility) or just some other random murderer? AAAAAMERRRRRICA THE LAND OF FREEDOM AND LIBERTY

every single time I’ve tried reddit’s search it delivered results that were somehow worse than not searching at all.

Gulf Stream, not jet stream. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-66289494

so you don’t think the increase in methane is gonna effect this?

I dunno about you, but ‘lots of doom and gloom’ sells short of utterly fucking shocking temp rises in the ocean, the slowing of the gulf stream and the heat-stroke of a winter the southern hemisphere just endured.

meteorologist Brian McNoldy of the University of Miami called global air and ocean temperature trends “bonkers,” stating: “People who look at this stuff routinely can’t believe their eyes. Something very weird is happening.” https://www.axios.com/2023/06/13/climate-extremes-warming-charts-concerns

I’m not trying to fear-monger but I think we’d all be better off frankly recognizing the shit isn’t going to hit the fan, it’s hitting it rapidly and the backblast is beginning to impact. It’s not doom-and-gloom if it’s actual reality people are trying to live through.

oh man this is hilarious.

you’re kidding right? did they fix it right before everyone left in disgust and no one even noticed?

In no way am I suggesting Israeli crimes be forgotten, or that they’re let off the hook. But in this instance Hamas attacked civilians and that’s not going to go away, even if you can spin Hamas’s actions as retribution.

The thing that sickens me the most was Hamas murdered multiple people who were vociferous and lifelong advocates for a two state solution and wanted compromise. And Hamas has never shown leadership; the people of Palestine deserve better from both directions.

Hey finally someone who wants to talk actual actions! And I agree with most of your points!

stop blocking people from Gaza from leaving to Egypt,

uhhh is this the case? My understanding was the passage from Gaza to Egypt was blocked by Gaza. Hard to find details though, I could be mistaken.

I’m all for Israel being held to the rule of law. I’m also all for Hamas being held to the same structures.

You’re not going to get any magical solution

and yet they all believe in their invisible friends and holy books so much… ironic that.

Israel is a country founded on stolen land by entitled religious extremists. People always leave that part out when they talk about this situation.

funny how you’re leaving out the near extermination of their people and world recognition of their state, kinda glossing over most of history even. guess you decided to leave those parts out too. It’s almost as if both sides are completely full of shit.

Huh.

so make Israel an easier target for the many countries that agree with Hamas and think it should be destroyed?

pfft. did you even read the question? How the fuck does that stop Hamas, if anything it would embolden them. How does that help Palestinians wanting a future without a genocidal fuckwit club running their country?

what can third parties do to reduce or eliminate Hamas’s hold on Palestine?

I’m all for Palestinian rights, and the constant encroachment of fundamentalist settlements is a war crime that went unpunished for Israel - but Hamas’s charter is explicit, there’s no middle ground or two state solution, just the destruction of Israel.

So how can third parties help the Palestinians in the one way that would make a significant difference in their QOL and interactions with Israel?

Honest question.

That would be awesome.

sure bud, whatever you tell yourself.
