That’s not a passkey. It’s a security key. RTA.

Wholly necessary. This is a case of symbiosis between trees and fungi. Fungi get sugars, trees get nitrogen - and possibly a social network.

Oh, I’m sure America will topple, sooner or later. Who knows? In one or two Trumps, perhaps. Or maybe it will take 50 years, or a century or two, until civilization itself collapses because of unchecked climate change. History teaches us that all empires fail, and there’s no reason to believe that history will stop at the U.S. of A.

And obviously there’s no denying that violence has always been a driving factor in history. But saying that it doesn’t mean saying that it is desirable. Sure violence brought us here, but, unless you’re a psycho billionnaire, you will have to admit that this is far from a perfect world.

I’m not saying violence is completely avoidable (I stand with Ukrainians’ right to defend their country in any way) but maybe it could be that we can try applying it less and less.

Reread the replies to my comment and tell me again that most of us get it. Most people are ok with violence as long as they benefit from it.

Sure, and look how many rights the most violent places on Earth enjoy.

Big mouth for violence until you or your loved ones happen to be under the path of a bomb.

Because if you play the violence game, you will always find someone more ruthless and/or well equipped than you are.

Achieved for whom? We’ve been following this advice since, well, forever. And yes, the elite might gain some material or political advantage from winning a war, but it’s a losing game for most.

As anyone else. But as a species we don’t seem to get it that violence achieves nothing.

Yeah, just give me a chainsaw

Someone is stabbing me in the stomach, I don’t pick up an AR-17 and murder 200 random people. If this is hard to understand for you, we don’t have enough in common to continue this conversation.

It’s not as black and white as this though. The Jews never claimed to want to genocide the Germans as Hamas does with Israel. Arafat had been using violent methods since he came to power in 1969, and Hamas continued his legacy.

It is no surprise that the other party also responds with violence. But Israel is not any less moral. It is simply more capable of violence.

I see. Mission accomplished, then. If the razing of Gaza is what they want, that is.

I don’t know at this point. But I know one thing: pouring gasoline on fire is not a strategy for extinguishing it.

I’ll ask you a non-rhetorical question: What were Hamas’ leaders hoping to accomplish when they sent gunmen to shoot civilians attending a rave party? What’s their strategy?

How is murdering party-goers doing anything to liberate Palestinians or reclaim an inch of land?

Palestinians have a right to their land. But Hamas is not helping anyone but themselves.

Hamas supports the status quo though, because the moment the war stops they slide into irrelevance.

Palestinians maybe not. Hamas, definitely yes.

And Palestinians support Hamas.

Dude, it’s possible to condemn both.

Hamas and Bibi both want one thing: power. And they don’t give a shit about the people they’re supposed to be protecting.

Unfortunately, Palestinians support Hamas just as much as Israeli support the hard right.

Welp, it must be hard to be continually reminded that your idols are cold blooded murderers.
