Perhaps the most damning statement came from former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Herzog, who said, “God did the State of Israel a favor that Biden was the president during this period, because it could have been much worse. We fought [in Gaza] for over a year, and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did. And that’s not to be taken for granted.”

You should check out some ideologies. You probably realize, but there’s way more than red vs blue. You kind of sound like an anarchist. You don’t necessarily have to give yourself a strict label, but it’s a good idea to see what they’re about. That’s why I say political leanings, because it’s possible to find ideas you latch onto that don’t all fit neatly into one camp. Or don’t and just continue to do the actions you feel led to.

And thank you for being receptive

You’re contradicting yourself my dude. You give enough of a fuck to help people. Doing things for your community is a political action. Maybe you just haven’t gotten the chance to understand your political leanings

Ah so you’ve fallen for the propaganda that says you don’t have the power to change anything, that’s just what the small number of elites want the large number of masses to think

Critical thinking is a skill that requires teaching and practice. If children are not given that preparation they won’t have that skill in adulthood. That’s why authoritarian governments care so much about controlling and/or limiting access to proper education.

I used to feel more suicidal. Nowadays I think if I was feeling like I truly wanted to do that, I would want to take an oligarch with me

If you’re in the states, new cars are legally required to have a screen for the back up camera.

I don’t think that’s a great rule even as adults

(without looking into it to verify) isn’t this likely because of “no child left behind”?

There’s so much wrong with this, including the grammar.

My interpretation is something that isn’t the fediverse version of something else. Like Lemmy doesn’t count because it’s the fediverse version of Reddit.

I actually had a music teacher that used the 5th as an example. It’s a story of dundundun duuuun

A bunch of stuff in the classical realm fits that bill, holst’s the planets, a bunch of operas some with words some without many in other languages you wouldn’t understand. One modern song with words that I want to be in these comments is Albuquerque by weird Al. I’ll also mention Maggot brain by funkadelic

Slang is typically created to develop camaraderie and show mutual insight, which is a bit beyond respect

That’s a naive statement.

just because he didn’t use a gun doesn’t mean he wasn’t killing people

Is Ukraine murdering Russians? Is Palestine murdering Israelis? Would it be murder if they killed Putin or Netanyahu?

It’s not execution, it’s class war.

In the classroom, on the floor, before class started, and was woken up when class was over.
