What? Initiated by Israel you mean?
Yeah a lot of people are ignoring Russian war crimes and I agree that’s a problem. But I don’t think you really understand what’s happening in Gaza given the meme you made.
I mean there’s a lot of ways to interpret it that’s for sure. But if you look at the entire response that quote is located in, it’s in the beginning of the debate when he’s really nervous and kind of all over the place. He somehow continues after that sentence talking about Trump crowd sizes. It’s almost gibberish to make any sense from his response there. But I think the message of it was something along the lines of Israel should defend itself against Iran and the US will support it in that endeavour.
If I was editing wikipedia and saw your statement I’d add these two tags:
[dubious claim: discuss] [citation needed]
I know you’re taking a quote from the debate but it seems really out of context. If I remember he was talking about Israel’s response to a potential Iranian attack.
Not the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
r/libertarian was mildly pro-Biden 4 years ago. I guess the astroturfing and corpofication of reddit have taken their toll.
Not really.
There have been extensive sociological studies over this. Condition in a capitalist society and the promotion of the “homo economicus” model continually reinforces “greediness” and leads to people in capitalist societies being far “greedier” on average.
It isn’t a natural thing, it is conditioned. Obviously everyone is greedy to an extent. But in anthropological examinations of different forms of societies, altruism scored far higher than greediness in non-capitalistic societies.
Kate Raworth, Oxford Economist, wrote an excellent chapter about this in her book called “doughnut economics”. The chapter is “Nurture Human Nature”.
The view that all humans are greedy and rational was promoted by Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill and is the precursing foundation of capitalism. But modern economics have rejected this view as it has been proven to be inaccurate, and increasingly rely on theoretical models built within behavioural economics.
what are you trying to say?
Critical of capitalism ≠ Socialist
There’s a lot of nuance you’re missing out on in this simplistic statement.
I obviously oppose any authoritarian regime regardless of the economic system.
Does this statistic include calories fed to livestock or not?
This fact makes me viscerally angry
Lac Léman, is the french word for what english people call lake geneva (all the region around lac léman is french speaking).
Léman comes from celtic “lemann” which means lake.
So lac léman is the lake lake. Given it is the biggest lake in western europe, not a bad name.
I agree this meme is bullshit but you’re comparing two sources that shouldn’t be compared.
Your number for Gaza’s children is from the (hamas run) Gaza health ministry. While your number from Ukraine is from the UN has confirmed.
The Ukrainian government has a much higher estimate for dead children than the UN. And the UN has confirmed far far low children deaths than the gaza health ministry.
