  • I dont dissagree. But for the rest of yall here, the point stands.

    Foreign policy is nuanced, multi layered, and gives no shits about your morality. Any of you that boil down the issue to palistine vs israel or race or religion, have no idea whats going on. Two state solutions are just to placate you while wholesale slaughter happens.

    This is about power and maintaining it. Always has been. And american, or western dominance in the region as a way to maintain what little peace exists, and not let our adversaries seize that control, is the end sum game.

    Im not saying its right. But superpowers and governments do not care about your moral hangups. A hundred thousand dead “someone else” vs a major strategic location means nothing. Appalling, sure, but there is a brutal logic to it.








  • My closest superstore an hour drive away. 60 miles. The closest grocer is 12 miles. My closest international airport is 1.5 hours away. It is also the closest regional airport. 85 miles. The closest national park is 3 hours. I live 6 miles from my closest town.

    There are no passenger trains, busses, or taxis. Or uber.

    Rural america is empty. And spread out. We get along fine, but public transit will never exist here. Cars are the only way.

    No shit. I got downvoted for calling out a commentor sincerely advocating that biden should use systematic executions of congressional leaders that oppose him, thanks to the new supreme court ruling. It wasnt even the politics forum!

    Im not being unreasonable saying that that is a horrible take. way too many people here make me feel like im living in an alternate reality. Im middle left at most, motherfuckers, yalls crazy.

    I like lemmy, but there is no middle ground here at the moment. Ill keep calling it out tho.
