“Despite the devastation, 57% of respondents in Gaza and 82% in the West Bank believe Hamas was correct in launching the October attack, the poll indicated.”
Wait, you mean when you commit war crimes and murder 1200+ civilians, it creates support for the right wing hawks, and there are repercussions? I’m shocked!
When you indiscriminately lob rockets into civilians population centers of a country eith a superior military you get bloodied? No fucking way!

CNBC survey? The source is more laughable than the shitty nonsense premise.
Dog shit boomers wouldn’t last a day in the shoes of Gen Z and their daily channelegws from having the deck stacked so heavily against them in every way.
Being reasonable and understanding things are complicated and nuanced isn’t going to happen on Lemmy.
The nutters here are going to sit on a Hamas propaganda source like Al Jazeera, knee-jerk to every article designed to drum up hatred and dumb down the situation, and go hop in bed with every anti-semite masquerading as the left that they can find. All the while pretending this conflict exists in a vacuum and lately even blaming the deaths on the 7th on Israel in their comments.
I appreciate your attempt to bring rationality and reason to the discussion, but you’re wasting your time on this shithole.
You need capitalism to collapse completely for this. The end state of capitalism is consolidation and aggregation under the power and control of a few royals (aka billionaires).
Hong Kong CNN — Developing countries owe Chinese lenders at least $1.1 trillion dollars, according to a new data analysis published Monday, which says more than half of the thousands of loans China has doled out over two decades are due as many borrowers struggle financially.
Economic colonialism ultimately faces the same end as military colonialism. May be a short-term boon for China, but in the long term, it’ll drag them down.
Though if they keep pushing for a direct military conflict with the US, none of these gambles will pay off.
Yeah, you’d have to go back to the multiple wars where the Arab nations attacked together to destroy Israel for it to be more even, right?
Which was what initially created the refugees bc they were told by those Arab nations that after Israel and the Jews are destroyed, the Arab Palestinians would be given all of Israel.
History is so inconvenient to bullshit narratives.
Yes, very soon, actors will be unnecessary, and the vast majority of content will be ai generated in every sense (written, acted, voiced, etc).
Human created projects will exclusively be a small market niche product like indie films. People will still seek them out, but they’ll be a tiny y market segment.
If this sounds impossible, chances are that it’s for lack of keeping up with ai and machine learning.
I’m NOT advocating. I am just taking a best guess based on current proof of concept, capitalism, and reality.
EDIT: LOL, the funny thing about tears, tantrums, and downvotes is that they won’t change reality. But whatever helps you folks sleep at night. Future is gonna be extremely rough for you guys. ><
This is simply not surprising coming from a company that literally defines anti-trust, anti-consumer, and heavy monopoly abuse. It should be broken up into hundreds of companies.

I dread how badly China is craving FAFO. It’s going to be such an unnecessary loss of life, and China will end up in ruins–not that it’s doing well now.

Strolling through Lemmy world news reflects this. That community is starting to become as foul on this subject as reddit, just a different side of extremism.
But also important and NOT seen on Lemmy at all, is the fact that antisemites are happily hiding behind the radical left the same way Hamas hides behind civilians, so that even lies, demonstratabley provable falsehoods, and worse are defended instantly with the “oh playing the antisemite card again”, and dismissed. Because there’s valid criticisms of Bibi’s war crimes, doesn’t’ mean there aren’t antisemites among them or masquerading as them. That so many are pretending that’s not the case is causing great conflict here.
I WANT TO BE CLEAR WITH YOU: I agree that criticism of Israel’s government is not antisemitism (I call out the war crimes myself), and I’ve the seen abuses of it too. Especially by pro-Bibi terrorists (I personally consider Bibi and his government war criminals)–it’s never okay either way! To abuse calling out the antisemitism or to falsely claim it does damage on multiple levels. One, though, is happening with great frequency here on Lemmy and rarely ever challenged b/c of the downvote army. That is not okay.
Antisemitic incidents in the United States rose by about 400% in slightly over two weeks since war broke out in the Middle East after Palestinian Islamist group Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, advocacy group Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said Wednesday. Read more at straitstimes.com.
Punching anyone for murdering babies should just be the start of their treatment. Another reason we should literally eradicate Hamas and it’s supporters completely. Which I’m judging from your anti-baby killing stance is something you agree with.

Any MAGA affiliated board needs to have its whole organization declared a terrorist group and denied access to US and world banking systems. Those are the only ones that support her as she’s been on the payroll from the getgo.

There is no contribution and work that someone can do to earn that much in a meritocracy. They literally have to have fucked their societies laws and values so much that folks believe that while people are homeless, hungry, fleeing wars, unable to afford healthcare and schooling, etc, that the 2700+ billionaires in the world should be able to have so much that they literally couldn’t spend it all if they tried.
If you believe in a meritocracy, then billionaires should be repugnant. No individual contribution is a billion dollars.
Regulate the fuck out of the drug companies or nationalize them. Idc which, but operating unbridled is clearly a failure. Unregulated capitalism will kill us.
