The fact that companies are better off replacing workers with AI kinda proves that capitalism is incompatible with humanity.

Trump is bringing back nuclear testing. What could possibly go wrong??? I hope this doesn't become a trend.

President Trump says the U.S. will โ€œimmediatelyโ€ resume testing nuclear weapons for the first time since the 1990s.

Nuclear expert and disarmament advocate Dr. Ira Helfand says the move will inflame geopolitical tension and that โ€œour luck is going to run out at some point.โ€

Grok's transition from Mecha-Hitler to Zionist hasbara bot happened awfully quick, but I suppose it isn't that big of change...

So he's not really that progressive, then??? Why would anyone expect him to be any less of a disappointment than Obama was???

It's a spectrum. It should be obvious to anyone paying attention that this is fascism now, but the signs have been there for a while...

To be clear, and it shouldn't need to be said, but I think antisemitism is every bit as disgusting as the Jewish supremacist movement that is Zionism.

My family only had 3 TV channels growing up. I would usually fall asleep to the sounds of either F1 racing, Cheers, or Bill Maher's first show, Politically Incorrect. I used to think that guy was reasonable, but now he's an atheist who thinks Jews should control Israel because the Bible says so...

The "arrest suspects" of literally anything they can think of and hold them without charge, aka kidnapping.

The IDF even admits what you can't...

Stop using kidnapping and resistance to occupation as an excuse for genocide and ethnic cleansing. Especially when Israel has kidnapped far more Palestinians, and many of those killed on Oct. 7 were killed by IDF soldiers via the Hannibal Directive.

Having doubts about one specific story I'm not familiar with is the same as denying that Hamas has ever done anything wrong?!?
The Iron Dome makes it impossible to target civilians. All they can do is send as many rockets as they can in hopes that some penetrate the defenses.

I'm not denying Hamas has done some horrible things, too, but it doesn't compare to the endless crimes of Israel. Any act of violence against an occupying force is defensive. All violence against a population you occupy is offensive. Palestine has a right to defend itself.

16.10.2025 14:49 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

1. No. Hamas doesn't have the capability to aim rockets specifically at civilians. Maybe Israel should stop using human shields.
2. There is no evidence that the Bibas babies were murdered by Hamas.
3. Not too familiar with this one, but I have my doubts about the accuracy of the story.

I don't believe those areas fit the definition of occupation, but I can see how someone could make that argument.
