ITT: Bunch of people understandably blackpilled on the justice system.

They keep doing monstrous things and it makes them look like monsters?

Maybe stop doing those monstrous things.

Israel isn't looking to give up its mantle as the crybully champion of the world any time soon.

If justifiable self-defence by Israel looks like 40,972+ dead Palestinians (mostly civilians as we know) in response to 1,478 dead Israelis, what would justifiable Palestinian self-defence look like? I'll remind you that as a current or former member of the IDF, every Israeli adult is an enemy combatant.

My understanding is that it's difficult to prevent kids from dying when you bomb every school, children's hospital, aid center, and potential Palestinian you see.

Maybe ease up on the genocide and warcrimes rather than crying there's nothing you can do as you gleefully kill tens of thousands of people in a population that's mostly children as you scream that they're animals and you want a second bigger Amalek. Maybe don't enforce an apartheid ethnostate, maybe don't seize peoples' land at gunpoint. Maybe as the global center of Judaism, you should showcase Jewish values rather than missile striking 4 day old newborns.

Yeah - his campaign producing deepfaked support from her when she was busy keeping her views to herself couldn't have motivated her to correct the record. This is just the personal stuff - the ways in which his policy positions and rhetoric negatively affect her and her fans is endless.

Trump fucked around with one of the few women he has reason to respect (by his framework) - she's beautiful and wealthier than him. Now he's finding out, and holy shit is he sore about it.

Why would meeting a political candidate be necessary to understand their policy positions and ability, advance then, and relative merits of the alternative? Democracy wouldn't work if that were needed.

Who'd have thought the profit motive would lead to outcomes that aren't always for the benefit of society.

Police unions - what could possibly go wrong when the members of the arm of state power collectivise to exercise their collective power. The example you've selected speaks volumes about your sincerity and/or familiarity with the subject.

Similarly, unchecked power wielded by divine mandate that never had an interest in structural checks. We couldn't possibly bake such checks into a more democratic, less hierarchical governmental and economic system.

You want to shit on the concept of democracy while you're at it because of the current state of the US, champ?

There have been direct actions recently - they get subjected to media blackout. If you want to shift public sentiment, you need eyeballs - they get eyeballs, and while responses are obviously mixed, they lean positive over time.

To be fair, liberalism, while far better isn't remotely close to being an adequate solution, but we all need to kick the can down the road by picking whatever least bad option is available to us.

Nosferatu needs to lay off the blood of the innocent for a bit - he's clearly over-indulged.

Being less evil would be nice, but we can only reasonably expect so much.

If you're spreading racist lies that are picked up and weaponised as a tool to stoke racist hatred in service of ending democracy to commit a series of genocides, you should fear for your safety - we call those consequences - morally good ones that benefit society at that.

This kind of stochastic terrorism should carry prison time.

It's worth pointing out that a good portion of the US media is laundering this narrative - straightforward Goebbels shit with zero consequences - only profits, the end of democracy, then a series of genocides if the narrative works.

They did it because they want to genocide Palestine - this only creates a bunch of people with justifiable hatred of Israel and nothing to lose.

If they wanted to be safer, they wouldn't have funded Hamas' displacement of the secular moderates, gleefully committed and publicised thousands of warcrimes, established an ethnostate, conducted decades of land grabs, or scream maniacally about a second, bigger Amalek.
