Believing that "people wouldn't do crimes if their basic needs were met" while also believing that "greedy rich people are stealing from everyone" never registers to the people who say this shit as inherently contradictory.
My 2 cents to the balestinian issue:
After 1945 around 12-14 million germans were ousted from the eastern parts of Germany, around 500.000-600.000 died.
my great-grandfather was thrown out of a moving refugee train by a polish soldier, never to be seen again.
my grandmother was assaulted by russian and polish soldiers
my grandaunt died as a child after a russian soldier deliberately threw her milk bottle on the ground and made her starve
Near my hometown there was a mass suicide of 1000+ women and children because they knew what would happen when the russians would reach the city
The conditions for the refugees in the first few years were terrible, there simply wasn't enough space for all of them in the war-torn remains of Germany.
And still, they swallowed the pill. The things that happened happened. The next 20 years were the most successful in all of German history (at least in the west). In a matter of a few decades, the whole struggle of germans after 1945 turned from a major political issue into a distant historical memory that is told by elders, and it plays basically no role in the daily life of a German or in German politics. Whether or not that is a great thing is another question, but it shows what is possible when a society accepts their fate and works on progress instead of pointless political games.
Gaza could have been a Singapore of the middle east, the west sent billions in aid there. The palestinan refugees in Lebanon, Jordan and other countries could have integrated into society and built up great countries.
Instead, they chose the way of a satanist death cult and engaged in a pointless war that they already lost multiple times since 1948. Today, the average arab in Israel has more political participation than the average arab in Saudi-Arabia, Syria, Qatar, UAE and others.
While the media focuses on Europe’s heatwave:
Remember, cold kills far more Europeans than heat
Extreme heat is the smallest temperature-related killer

PS. Both cold and heat can be deadly. Make sure you protect you and your loved ones with adequate heating in winter and cooling and liquids in summer
@AgileJebrim@TJMufuta Good cuz they were shafting you, even 10 years back $35k would have been a code-monkey bootcamp tier salary. Median today is about $100k to $120k base, significantly more than Europe, although taxes are also high.
