the argument jews need a state because they are a globally tiny minority and would be stateless without it completely breaks apart once you realize there are countless of other stateless minorities no one cares about
They kill pregnant women in Palestine, rape women in Congo and Sudan, bomb little girls' school in Iran,
But, they care about the education of women in Afghanistan.
Isn't that strange?
Unpopular opinion: The fact that they can quickly install data centers nationally means they could've been updating infrastructure which they claimed was too difficult and expensive.
We’re obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we almost never question why billionaires are never satisfied with what they already have.
If you live in a country that sends poor people to jail for using drugs, but doesn't send rich people to jail for raping kids, you live in a shit hole country.

You have every right to know what your government is doing, and they have no right to know what you are doing.
That is why they are called public servants and we are called private citizens.
Instead, the relationship has been inverted. The state hides behind secrecy, classified files, and redactions while demanding total visibility into your finances, communications, movement, and behavior.
A society where the rulers live in privacy while the population lives under surveillance is the very definition of tyranny.
No immigrant stole your job. You were laid off by a capitalist who wanted cheap labor and took advantage of that immigrant to increase his profits, and nothing makes him happier than watching you blame the worker instead of him.
If capitalism truly rewarded skill or intelligence, the richest people would be neurosurgeons, engineers, and scientists.
If it rewarded talent, it would be artists, writers, and creators.
If it rewarded hard work, it would be cleaners, laborers, and service workers.
But it’s none of them.
i used to live alone when i was a young bachelor... no real friends, no girlfriend, no partying, no clubbing.
just me, by myself, growing in silence and compounding wealth. at first, it felt like peace to me but deep down, it was chaos i battled every single day.
walking around my apartment, i longed for someone to talk to. waking up, i wished there was someone beside me. cooking, i wanted someone to share a meal with. watching football, i wanted to scream GOOAAALL with people by my side but there was no one.
yes, i had money but i felt really lonely and depressed.
truly, no amount of self love, hustle or self improvement can replace the simple human need to be seen, heard and valued. introversion or staying alone, if left unchecked, can kill slowly. my depression only started lifting when i began going out more and building real connections.
We cannot have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.
My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away
1 million abortions.
Pornography is normal.
Gen Z is avoiding marriage.
Large families are anomalies and mocked.
70% of the population professes to be Christian.
Let that sink in.
We are a nation that's playing church, practicing empty religion, and giving approval to a culture that does not value human life over sexual perversion and selfish pride.
FBI agents have to retire at 57, air traffic controllers at 56, and pilots at 65. But somehow demented 70 and 80 year olds running the country is totally fine. Make it make sense.
Imagine if China demanded all wheat be bought in yuan.
All chips in yuan.
All shipping insurance in yuan.
And any country that refused would be cut off from global finance, sanctioned, destabilized, or bombed.
The West would call it tyranny by breakfast.
But when America does it with oil, it is called sound macroeconomics.
That is how deep the propaganda goes.
The empire’s most absurd crimes are always disguised as common sense.
