I’m starting to lose hope in the progress of humanity at all. I am pretty sure we wont solve our critical problems. We just arent capable of doing so as a group. And we will keep bombing and burning until the planet cant sustain itself any longer. We are not really progressing in our social infrastructure and philosophies at all-- we might as well be humans from 5000 years ago, only sedentary, holding iphones and bathed in chemicals all day.

God no. Are you joking?
Religions are the absolute bane of human philosophy. Its prepackaged bundles of ideas that no one is allowed to challenge. Most religions are basically ridiculous and easily proved false. They serve to control. All of them were written by flawed people from long ago, and it shows.
The meaning of all writing is based on the time it exists in. Whats in the bible (and Koran, and Talmud) today doesnt mean what it meant two thousand years ago, and even then it was probably sketchy. Now its worse and getting more irrelevant all the time. But say that out loud in any setting except an anonymous internet chatroom, and everyone shuns you, at best.
I’ve noticed no one has books anymore though. I used to be able to go to peoples houses, look at their bookcase, and learn lots about them. No one has bookcases full of books on display anymore except really old people. Even our library has been mostly emptied and has maybe a fifth of the number of books it used to have. I have no idea where all those book went.
where’s that Kylo Ren MORE! meme at…
you can use archive.today to unpaywall it
At least one in three. Theres some in the democratic party and independents as well. Its probably at least half.
Capitalists all raise an eyebrow at the idea of all that free salt.
Which god we talking here? Not the muslim or christian ones for sure.
Dont forget the 2000 miles of railroad that’d need to be built, much of it over frozen terrain, and a lot of it mountainous. That in itself would be an engineering marvel even before the bridge or tunnel work.
unless he’s doing it to make the US spend money on nonsense.
Giving it to Musk is a way of guaranteeing it will never get done. Still waiting for full self driving, Elon.
yep, reduced ‘precious bodily fluids’.
Actually RFK even looks a lot like the general from Dr Strangelove too.
This week he’s all about sperm.
Last week he was all about circumcisions. https://lemmy.world/post/37218464
And before that, he was diagnosing kids by looking at them naked. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/rfk-jr-slammed-for-claiming-he-can-diagnose-kids-by-just-looking-at-them/ar-AA1Lrvlt
This guy sure thinks a lot about other people’s cocks.
Israel has quite literally been under attack by multiple other countries since it was created.
And quite literally started stealing land and attacking locals from the very first minutes of the creation of israel. Israel is always playing the victim but they are only a victim of some minor consequences of their own bullying and criminality. Isrsel should never have been created and the UN should fix this problem they created by kicking Israel back to the US, Russia and Europe where they belong.
They lack the respect for justice to proceed as any sort of legitimate state. They are an armed camp of bandits. Israel is not about a jewish homeland. its about theft and always has been. Jewish people already had a homeland in the jewish autonomous oblast. They had it for ten years before they started thieving and murdering in the middle east.
Iran funded militias to fight Israel because of what israel did to Palestine. Iranian revolution was 1978. Nakba was 1948.
Well. Seems I replied to the wrong person. Sorry bud, and appreciate you not calling me out for it.
We have tried a two state solution for more than half a century
No. small bits of it were tried for very short amounts of time-- but there was never a state for Palestine that was free of Israeli dominance and was self determining. Israel itself fought the secular Fatah government that the Palestinians briefly set up for themselves and created and funded Hamas (at great cost) to overthrow Fatah and create exactly the situation we are in now. Fatah was explicitely secular by the way. Israel insisted that Hamas be created to be religious.
Theres just no way to make any sort of peace with hardcore supremecists. And Israelis are supremacists. At their very core they dont want peace, they want the dominance they see is their due, which is stated in a even moderately conservative reading of their religious books-- that non-jewish souls are fundamentally different and lesser than jewish ones-- regular humans souls can never be equal to jews-- we are closer to animals, and many of us are simply incapable of being “good”. (do we need quotes for that? Say the word) So of course they feel no need to be honest in their dealings with lesser beings. And their books also outline that they should have a seperate set of moralities for dealing with jews and nonjews. Its trivially easy to read their books as an entire religious philosophy based on ‘rules for thee and not for me’.
If you were a black skinned family and had a KKK chapter house move literally in your back yard and claim the land for their own, what would you do? Appeal to their sense of common humanity? Share the land that was yours? Try to appeal to the more moderate KKK voices? Not “slander” the good name of the KKK since only 90% of them are openly advocating for violence, rather than 100%? Cant judge an entire people on what just 90% of them say, eh? How unfair that would be! They might just be good people who happen to live in a KKK house!
This is their claim on the land of that region, and the reason they feel they can kill every lesser being on it. “To your descendants have I given this Land from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates River.” (Genesis 15:18)
They will cheerfully destroy the world seeking to assert their “right” from the book they wrote.
Does blame itself matter though? Can we steer opinions with such a thing and make real change or is that ability an illusion, and blame a …verbal masturbation?
