But it's funny how Egypt and Qatar comes up with a suggestion for a truce deal. Hammas accepts it. Israel rejects the terms of the truce deal outright. How about Egypt first talks to both parties, come up with a set of terms both can agree to and after that ask the two sides if they can agree to...

Please, reality check. Hammas are still holding the Israeli hostages. So obviously Israel hasn't put enough pressure on Hammas. Hammas are the one forcing Israel to go through Palestinian civilians to get to them. The IDF are doing their best not to kill Palestinian cilvilians. But due to how...

Unfortunately, they are. Collectively. Within Islam they have a thing called "Zakat", a duty to give to charity. It's one of the main pillars of Islam. And they're only allowed to give to explicitly Islamic organisations. That makes it a bit complicated for nominally secular organisations to...

False equivalent

Yeah. Well. If only we can somehow stop Russia for trying to control Ukraine, then they will at least have a chance to be free.

That's not the problem. Loads of newly liberated countries that have free and fair elections rapidly go to shit. The problem wasn’t the freeness or fairness of the election. The problem is that people will vote for what they think is in their own best interest. Even before 7/10 Gaza was...

Jesus what a load of rubbish. Stop reading antisemitic propaganda. This is all nonsense When Hammas got power in Gaza they dismantled the, Jewish built, farms and converted them to military installations. They, on purpose, wrecked the economy, to make them dependent on Iranian money so Iran...

Wtf are you babbling about?

The Palestinians don’t have to be poor. If they stopped using all their energy on attacking Israel, then perhaps they can make some money. Like they did before Isarel handed over control to the PA The suicide bombings went from a problem to rare after that wall came up. I think, for the safety...

I don't think it's a good idea to give Hammas a chance to regroup. I think the correct strategy is to keep pushing these fuckers until they break. Yes, it's a shame that Hammas does all in the power to put Palestinia civilians at risk. But the solution here isn't to be soft on Hammas. Lol...

The best chant slogan I have heard during this conflict is, "Let them live, the children of Gaza and Tel-Aviv". How about we all try to make that happen? Step one has to be to destroy Hammas and let Israel handle security from now on. We can debate all day why the Gaza authorities were unable...

Look, the entire Arab world is conspiring to not help the Palestinians, but instead exploit their situation in order to hurt Israel. How about we place blame where it belongs? Israel is only defending itself. It's the only Jewish country on the entire planet. Israel is not trying to murder...

This one is funny

In other news, USA fought the Nazis for nothing. Well done America and it's fight for freedom

My awesome life has impacted my life in ways I didn’t expect. It turns out that having a lot of fun is very stressful. Which isn't healthy. Which means that I need to have a less awesome life. So now I have lots of time for books.

I still don’t think you understand what I mean. None of that is evidence for collectivism. Indoctrination is a fundamental necessity for making nation states hold together at all. The more individualistic the culture the more forcefull that indoctrination needs to be. Just to make a country...

No, they are very individualistic. Thinking you have it all figured out is a mark of individualism. That's exactly what evangelical Christianity is. Collectism means that you are unsure about what you want and trust that others know better what is good for you than you do. In a collectivistic...

So your argument is that the lack of government regulation is evidence of USA being collectivists? I'd say it proves the exact opposite Individualism leads to greater social stress, but also greater social dynamism I don’t think anyone thinks freedom is easy. Nietzsche's spiel about slave...

That's how it started. But that is not the heritage of most Australians who moved there.

Almost every new cultural and social phenomena that has shaped our world in the last 80 years or so, came from USA. That's not evidence of collectivism. People love slamming USA. Especially progressive Americans. But the evidence, just isn't there. Everybody in USA seems to feel empowered to...
