Been volunteering at a food pantry and a lot of people would be shocked how many people there, volunteers included, who like him. I can also offer anecdotal evidence that where I'm at were distributing more food than we ever have. Donations aren't keeping up but they have a purchasing budget. We can go weeks without certain foodstuffs and sometimes when it all hits at once the storefront looks really grim. The town and state are smart enough to keep giving them what they need budget wise, but that's all that's keeping a lot of people's heads over water right now.

Oh yeah, the climate wars will absolutely start before we even know they are the climate wars, that's basically a fact.

I think were gonna see climate wars kick off before any kind of mass realization happens.

Your tax dollars at work. Fuck you if you have student loans, we'd rather spend our money making our shareholders rich though genocide.

Whens the last time a US military service member went on a shooting spree, adjust per capita, then compare. Yall are doing everything to try and derail my original point about militias.

And my point remains, when it comes to service members and LEOs, even Frances gun laws wouldnt stop this case. In fact, take the number of Cop and Military shooters, adjust per capita then compare the stats, because yall keep trying to derail my points about the well regulated militia stuff.

The point is that it happens 100 times more in the USA than in any other developed country

well since it happend twice in 3 years in france im assuming you have data for 70 yearly US LEO or Military member committed mass shooting yeah? Or are you gonna keep veering away from what ive actually been arguing this whole time again?

They've killed dozens of journalists and even the family of a journalist. That family was staying in a building that was marked safe by the IDF for exactly these kinds of people. The US didnt let Saudi Arabia live down the bonesaw incident for years, have you heard any ranking politician in the US speak about the press slaughter? To me it seems a lot like a free pass.

I don't think Hamas had a long term goal here. I think Iran had the long term goal and shared intel with them and goaded the on to the attack. That's not to excuse anything or one, but in terms of startegy and blowback, I think Irans the one whos counting on that, and Israel is providing it. So all in all I'd say Iran got what they wanted and we're gonna see what they choose to do next.

They're gonna need to because 'Hey corporate land owner, were gonna make all this residentia' is gonna scare a lot of rich people. Which would be fine if we didn't run a market economy that collapsed if rich people get scared.

Well if you target Hamas but bomb an innocent family of five killing three, you probably just made two new Hamas members. Especially if the parents didn't survive, they know exactly whos gonna 'take care' of those orphaned kids.
