Do you know how you stop Hamas from hoarding aid and selling it back to civilians? End the blockade. This is basic economics. Flood the area with aid and Hamas loses any bargaining power they could possibly have from hoarding it. Supply goes up, price goes down.

Hamas has stores of food and medicine? So in other words, Israel's blockade isn't working and they're starving civilians for no reason?

There's enough blame to go around for both.

Is Hamas responsible for the Israeli settler violence in the west bank too, even though they're not in charge there?

Nolan's best work, which is saying something.

I don't think there's a simple correlation, but I wouldn't say there is zero factor at all. Individual minds are different, and it would be silly to expect that there is literally zero variation in susceptibility to this kind of thing. Although I agree intelligent people can definitely fall victim.

I'll do that. I find it all quite disturbing how people who know nothing about anything sort of become "infected" by propagandistic delusion that takes the place of actual understanding, and how current-day telecommunications tech acts as the medium through which these ideas propagate.

I think there's plenty to criticize Biden for, but MAGA are just bringing him up constantly to distract from what the current administration is doing now. Biden's not president anymore, and shouldn't be the main focus.

Not quite. Mental illness is generally an individual ailment, not contagious. What these people exhibit is more like social-media propagated mass hysteria.

Just imagine if they have him on the news and he's just like "Yeah, we're all gonna die. Go tell your family and friends you love them, cuz this is it." And then he just gets up and leaves.

Netanyahu admitted already his priority isn't the hostages.

Such a dumb narrative. These platforms have a right to decide who they want to host, and it's pathetic how they act like they don't.

I think money can't buy happiness in all circumstances, but it can buy happiness if the main cause of your unhappiness is related to lack of money.

Oh and pharmaceutical, hospital and health insurance industries too.

Still waiting for this to happen to the fossil fuel and social media industries.

I was just talking to my friend two days ago about the AI boyfriend/girlfriend thing and how weird it is. Then it got me thinking about that video and how well it's aged.

Everyone calm down. The Trump administration says that what the Trump administration is doing is fine. /s

This is very similar to the philosophy of the Sith from Star Wars. You know, the most obvious bad guys in all of fiction.

I'm no expert but I feel like if you have an adrenaline dump you can move with a broken ankle, but not run necessarily. I'd be interested to hear from someone with medical expertise on this.

Putin, Netanyahu and Orban seem to like him.

It's pretty narcissistic if you think about it. My political views are based on how I want the world to be, not my personal interactions. I've encountered many annoying lefties online, but this has never made any right-wing ideas sound at all appealing.

"Hey guys, look at this random picture I found with no context. This proves everything I say is true!" This dude has the cognitive ability of a mushroom.
comment in response to
post
Agreed. If the claims he makes in the book are false or exaggerated that's one thing, but being mad at him for telling us things that a true is cultish behavior I would expect more from the right.

For all their differences, the online left and online right spend a lot of their time doing the same thing, attacking left-wingers.

Suppressors don't make guns any more dangerous.
comment in response to

Absolutely. Fucking hate the GOP, they're a bunch of disgusting fascists. But being anti-suppressor is just weird. They don't make firearms any more dangerous, and they can cut down on hearing damage.

Not sure what this has to do with that.

I agree with the point you're making, but by this logic the US civil war wasn't a real war.

But he's not yelling at them for fucking people over. He's yelling at them for not bending to his authoritarian narrative. This is a pretty damn significant distinction.

Antisemitism is genuinely awful and I hate that these assholes have cheapened the term by using it so disingenuously.

True, although I would point out that even in the context we did evolve for, migratory hunting and gathering, child mortality was still super high.

This isn't even coherent enough to be a lie.

That would be silly. Universal healthcare would give workers way more bargaining power, as they wouldn't be dependent on their employer for insurance.

Inflation causes uncertainty in prices, which sellers can take advantage of to raise prices more than would expect purely based on supply cost increases alone.

I'm loving this right-wing pivot to "cheap goods are bad actually."

Must be a tough time for the Fed to avoid politics, even though that is what they're supposed to do.

They just steal words from the left and use them incorrectly. It's like their thing.

By this logic, we would save the most money if we just stopped having an economy. Everyone just goes out in the woods and hunts their own food. Nobody could rip us off by, uh, giving us things in exchange for money?

There's no practical way to end the war, therefore we should... commit as many human rights violations as possible? The fuck kind of take is that?

A lab leak isn't necessarily indicative of a conspiracy. It could merely signify incompetence or negligence.
