Re: War, what is it good for?
The majority of the Palestinian people hate Hamas and are unable to express that for fear of reprisals. The Israeli government on the other hand... How many times have Hamas been described as "a creature of Israel" funded by right wing religious zealots to undermine the secular Fatah movement, and d...

Re: Should we eat the rich?
If you convince someone that the fashion at the time is for minimalism and you are a great interior designer, can you sell your elite skills to not put anything into their home? So long as they value it, then you have created value without consuming any materials. Thus the environment has less resou...

Re: Should we eat the rich?
If my neuro spicy-ness didn't get in the way, my first book would be a bit of maths, metaphysics, and sociology... Stuff I learned from Frito Carpa's "The Dao of Physics" (which is a book I can't recommend less), "The Emperor's New Mind", which is fine apart from the last chapter (is the reason Penr...

That's not eating the poor, that is paying for their excess babies production and eating them, so the poor have more money and fewer mouths to feed!

Re: Should we eat the rich?
You know, I'd always had you down as one of the "perpetual economic growth is u sustainable" crowd So here is the thing. Some growth may require smarter use of less resourced in a way which makes it more valuable. So computers, or silicon chips in general, are far more valuable than the sand it is ...

Just as an aside. Hamas may have killed hundreds, but then the Israeli military didn't bother to distinguish between targets before opening fire.

Great quote from Conservative Muslim and former British cabinet member on Israel:

Referencing a 2019 discussion between Netanyahi and Israeli far right. (Skip to 43 minutes 56 seconds, if my time stamp isn't working)

Re: War, what is it good for?
If someone comes into your home with aging, and shoot you when you tell them it is your home and you should leave, that is not self-defence.
The courts have shown so measure of judgement against these illegal settlements, and the result was the current govt trying to replace the courts.

Re: Howdy folks
I am not aware of any cancellation of folks. I would suspect that folx is along the lines of other words changes where an X (as in Mr, Ms, Mx) is used to be gender neutral, but folks is already gender neutral?

Re: War, what is it good for?
This didn't start with Hamas's recent attack (which I don't support). It started in 1948 with militant Zionists forcing around 50% of the Palestinian population out of their homes and off their land, under threat of murder. To fail to acknowledge that is to be oblivious of the historic context of t...

Re: War, what is it good for?
Israel is defending her citizens by attacking the fascist neighbour that declared war on her. Israel has very little choice in the matter. They have to attack because leaving Hamas undefeated is not a viable position for them to adopt, and they have to bomb because if they send troops in without it...

Not wishing to give the impression that I don't trust your word on this, but I don't trust your word on this.

Re: Annual Religious Thread
This is such utter garbage. Sorry but historically the religious justification for moral actions was 'listen to US because we have the authority of God backing us' an appeal to authority. It wasn't encouraging anyone to think deeply about the topic. God as an answer to any question (like why the th...
