@mattkim1@elonmusk And yet South Korea is notorious for widespread political corruption and corporate bribes. How are these norms compatible with high-trust society?
@SpencerGuard@EylonALevy The most basic difference no one even bothers to mention anymore: IDF wears a uniform. Hamas and Hezbollah wear none to blend in with civilians.
@BenMFreeman Mazel tov! Aliyah is the right choice for the author of The Jews: an indigenous people. You make a very compelling case. Not only will you be enriched by returning to the land, but I’m convinced you will enrich the land with your future scholarship.
@SamaHoole@JeanneLutt87264 Your comparison seems a bit unfair. Shouldn’t we be comparing commercial almond milk production’s environmental impact to commercial dairy farming in dry California?
@servitus39726@anishmoonka Read Neil Postman’s The Disappearance of Childhood. The idea of preserving child innocence is itself a modern invention. Couples in all cultures previously engaged in foreplay and had sex in the presence children. “Natural” isn’t always necessarily best tho.
@DumisaniTemsgen Did you hear Van Jones on “Ask Haviv Anything” podcast. Claimed black Americans are against Gaza war because they’re against all war. Please comment.
@SamaHoole Freya sounds delightful, don’t get me wrong, but 450 kg is also the weight of a small horse. Surely these fields have been turned and grazed by horses before Freya. Maybe horses prefer different fodder, but the hoof scuffing and rolling behavior should have similar benefits, no?
@keylimepotato@ElliotMalin@TheDemocrats Hamas just announced it’ll pay benefits to families of 50K fallen Gaza fighters. That leaves only 20K civilian casualties by Hamas’ own inflated count. A 2 year war fought in tunnels, behind human shields, in plain clothes, firing from mosques, hosp & schools. Genocide? Bullshit!
