I just read an article that said both Kamala and Trump are keen on helping out. You know, with the indiscriminate murder of thousands of children.
I gotta say this is really dragging US’s public image through sewage. People weren’t too keen on the US’s foreign policy after that Afghanistan withdrawal, but basically delivering a country and millions of dollars of military equipment to a terrorist group on a silver platter doesn’t even come close to literally helping out murdering children and paying for it.
I sure hope the US government comes to their senses at some point in time, preferably soon and stops this for the literal sake of children. At this point what choice is even there for American people.
On top of that can you imagine the US actually punishing its heads of state for anything on behalf of an international organization?
The US is literally funding and helping carry out the genocide and war crimes against an entire people with absolute impunity. Its two parties fully support it. Its corporations and universities fully collude with it and name and shame employees and students that don’t in public, so their livelihoods are affected.
It seems all these international organizations can do is publish statements that the law is being broken. At least the history books have a legal, contemporary point of view, i guess. Peak performative justice.
It’s not just the US. Most countries aren’t doing any meaningful change to counter climate change. It’s just net zero by 2300, ban straws here, make stupid soda caps that stick to the bottle, performative trash separation that gets dumped together, magic carbon offsetting and climate summits of empty promises that overall net more pollution due to heads of state and heads of corporations traveling somewhere rather than if it hadn’t happened at all. Just kicking the can down the road, while living through the hottest summers on record.
Worldnews is famously a zionist hasbara distribution channel. Any opinion that is not pro zionist is perma banned there.
I got banned there for writing in a comment that Israelis act like fascists towards Palestinians in the occupied west bank. The mod team responded in Hebrew and muted me. You kick a rock and hundreds of current and former reddit users will come out from under there telling you a similar story.
It is pretty well known in reddit you are not allowed to write criticism of Israel on Worldnews.
Yeah i didn’t necessarily mean our DNA, more like our internal fauna, in particular our gut fauna, which has tremendous implications over how our body functions, influencing our brains, metabolism and immune system.
If bacteria are changing and our bodies are about a one to one ratio of human cell to bacteria cells according to recent studies, it follows that bacteria changing does not preclude us from changing as well, since not only are bacteria a part of us, we fundamentally depend on bacteria to be alive. We cannot ever be separated from the evolution of bacteria.
So while our own DNA will not change significantly in such a timescale, that doesn’t mean our internal metabolism processes will not change somehow, i would wager. Not only us, but all the animals around us that we eat and live with as well. It’s interesting to think, for instance, of vitamins we don’t produce but still need and we take from bacteria living inside us. I wonder if similar bacteria would, for instance, evolve to decompose plastics in our bodies or such like.
Plastics are becoming endemic at this point. There are bacteria evolving to live in and consume plastic already. I wonder how our bodies are beginning to change to cope with this.
Imagine saying in a public forum that all people of a certain religion, even though most of them do not commit acts of violence against others in such a manner and are children, must be “eradicated” like they’re some kind of pest and thinking you are on the right side of the argument.
That’s just indiscriminate hatred right there. It’s crazy how you consistently barely ever get a positive rated comment in multiple forums yet persist without putting your hand on your consciousness and thinking, what if i am wrong.
I honestly can’t understand that. Discussion boards are where opposing views come to clash. That’s what creates meaningful dialogue. I am politically centrist and i find myself sometimes agreeing and disagreeing with the left and the right. What these people mean about “right wing hives” is forums where conservative opinions exist.
If we’re just creating spaces that share only one political ideology, where we ban everyone disagreeing, how can we ever learn from each other ? What value is there in spaces where opinions are homogeneous and we only see people shouting opinions over the wall to the other group ? It’s just a circlejerk at that point, and i have nothing against circlejerk per se, it’s just that politics is very ill fitting for such types of forums.
Since the times of Greek democracies and republics, disagreement and factionalism has been a part of growth for political discourse. I believe we shouldn’t shy away from that at all.
