Usual 'murican take. Do you use roads? Do you use clean water? I would ask about public transit, but you’re a 'murican, so I already know the answer to that is “no”.

Everyone already pays for the State to exist. Civilized countries use that money to benefit all citizens through free higher education, free healthcare, free public transportation, etc. The US uses that money to kill children in the middle east and to bail out huge corporations.

Imagine being this brainwashed. You know where higher education is free? Pretty much the entire civilized world. Guess whether 'murican taxes compare favorably or unfavorably against that?

Has your opinion of Isreal changed because of the last few months?

It changed insofar as going from “they’re a pretty horrible fascist society” to “they’re straight up Nazis”.

If so has that changed how you view their actions in the past against the Palestinian people?

Not really.

If the comparison of Russia in Ukraine to Isreal in Palestine was only made legitimate in the past few months […]

You’re commiting a fallacy, I believe and hope unintentionally. Israel has always been the aggressor, I’ve never contradicted that. However, defending a population associated with a vile terrorist group at a time said group has just attacked is simply bad politics - you’ll not get many allies and now your detractors have a concrete event to point towards when dismissing your position. At present, Israel has effectively admitted to wanting a genocide and Hamas has waved the white flag multiple times, so it’s the perfect moment, politically, to defend the Palestine.

Not at all. That was still the wrong moment to do it. NOW (and for the past few months, since Israel began its full-blown open genocide) is the right time.

The song “Star of the County Down”, as sung by The High Kings, uses “queer” to mean “unusual”. Incidently, I find that to be the best arrange of this classic Irish tune - very melodious.

Just use Firefox. It’s better as a browser, anyway.

What are you smoking? Energy is energy, it doesn’t matter where you get the heat from.

Capitalism can never work, because it’s self defeating. The point of capitalism is to maximize immediate profits, nothing else - as a result, it will gladly destroy its own means of growth if as a result instant profits increase.

And never walk without a small army.

Hurr durr, now that a palestinian terrorist group is attacking is the best moment to be vocal about palestinian freedom

And you people wonder why you get downvoted?

AFAIK they did get a couple visits from sanitary inspectors, but I haven’t been in contact since.

A national (not US) cake company uses expired ingredients because it’s cheaper. Yes, I did report them to the authorities.

The internet was made for nerds to be on it.
