@markcon60783379 @DougAMacgregor When you say "the need for US military intervention" you want the military to oppose the current system? Eliminate some kind of force? Restoration of sovereignty? Or do you think it's just a symbolic "ultimate response" to the chaos
@richfun58@DougAMacgregor The problems we face are deep and complex, and there are abuses, manipulations, and irresponsibilities – but if we want to really change something, it's hard to push others to listen or act if it's just anger or labeling
@WakeUPAmer63378 @DougAMacgregor When social trust collapses, political systems are no longer seen as legitimate, rifts between ethnicities, cultures, or classes widen, and ordinary people feel marginalized, betrayed, or replaced

@drandama@DougAMacgregor However, historically, Abrahamism (the three monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) essentially had common roots, but different branches and interpretations have developed over a long period of history, leading to many conflicts
@Scotty_NIMITZ86@DougAMacgregor But others point out that government is not monolithic, and that there is division and diversity within it, and that the key is the ability of citizens to participate, have a voice, organize, and drive change
@samthere403@DougAMacgregor The shadow of this strategy can be seen in many conflicts in societies, countries, and even entire regions. Divisions between ethnicities, religions, classes, or political affiliations are often manipulated or exploited by larger interest groups
@AleshkaBernard@DougAMacgregor The United Nations and its various agencies had repeatedly recognized the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and had criticized certain human rights violations, but the international community's attitude towards Israel and Palestine was deeply inconsistent
