I said rhetorical... But it makes the UN pointless. Each side is doing unspeakable harm to innocent people and the whole point was to prevent another World War. Look at us now. Literally one presidential election away from WW3, hoping that Harris will bring Isreal to heel.

The UN is defunct. Why the hell would they create a international governing body that can be vetoed by one of several adversarial super powers? (rhetorical)

Robot gang rise up!

Totally unheard of! Bombing cities?! Don't they know innocent people live there? Like putting "strategic targets" in densely population centers? It's like Isreal is using its people as human shields. Israeli people should leave those areas if they don't want to be caught up in the fighting.

Blow back implies it's the person who (UN sanctioned terrorist Isreal and America) is the aggressor hurts themselves by harming others.

That's not the message or point I was making. I'm not blaming the victims. Just read my other replies.

That's what they said 100 years ago and it got a little bit better but it's far worse than even those people would have thought. If you think those in power won't drive everyone of a cliff to make a buck you are in for a surprise. Wealthy people are literally planning to escape earth over giving up any money or power. I'm not doom spiraling I just want more people to wake up and stand up for their fellow humans before it's too late.

That's comparing apples to oranges. Apple has been caught doing planned obsolescence multiple times. And many other tech companies as well. I'm proposing more regulations to ensure that none essential products have longer service life and replacements are a substantial jump in performance and quality to justify the raw materials being used. Also with the rapid conglomeration of companies the allusion of choice is worrying. Also slowing down the releases would allow more equitable distribution of money and resources. Just look up the numbers behind electronic waste alone. Yes in the perfect world people would only get a new device when needed. But that's not reality. I'm not talking about a communist utopia or anything but the question is should humanity be trowing so much resources and energy behind millions of new iphones every year? These are serious decisions we need to have because the alternative is literally the destruction of the human race as we know it. Apple makes a new phone every year because imaginary line on graph must go up. But should we measure a company's success that way? The environment, the poor people that mine the resources, and assemble the phones say no.

I'm not arguing about your point. Of course no one is forcing anyone to buy anything. But they do. On a literal earth destroying scale. Our whole global economy is based on how much useless shit and excess shit we can consume. Rather than using our resources to solve our problems, we are allowing literally metric tons of materials to go into new iPhones every year. (not just iPhones but most tech in general and nearly every none essential product) I'm not taking about individuals changing habits. That'll get us no where. We need smart resource management and tech not to be allowed to shovel the same shit with small improvements, while lobbying to turn everyone into blind consumers. So what if we have to wait 3/5/7 years for a new phone? No one is going to die. But if we don't slow things, just look at north Carolina. Look at the coral reefs. Look at the copper mines in the Congo.

And whatever blindfolded bigotry is in these areas they are justifying with their actions. Do they think someone who just had their lives, friends and family blown up or stolen by Israel is going to think rationally? I'd tell you what I'd do in the Palestinians shoes but it'll probably get me on a FBI watch list.

WW3 is the something worse. I don't see how this goes any other way. China and Russia will back Arab nations to stick it to the US if our troops get involved. (we just sent 10k troops to the region as "peace keepers and advisors" totally won't backfire like very other time) We are moving away from the proxy War phases and straight into full on global war.
