Who’d have thought Business Insider would be running interference for the neoliberal slide into end-stage capitalism, by blaming those worst affected by the collapse for the symptoms that are fucking them over?

In cases like this, I favour the kind of poetic justice that only irony can deliver - leaving them strapped down to be waterboarded by one of their sewage outlets seems like a good option.

…before attending the definitely voluntary after work drinks and trundling home to your shoebox out in the inaka.

Better/worse depends on your frame of reference…

The UK is generally worse than it was 50 years ago, and better than it was 150 years ago. It’s generally better than Japan today.

Not being an arsehole is a pretty decent start whatever the case is.

The Japanese work culture is an absolute dumpster fire - the reason all their media is focused on highschoolers is that high school was the last time anyone had a shred of freedom.

But broadly, yeah - there’s not much incentive to respect the norms of a system that’s completely fucked you, then demands compliance.

You and I. Do you struggle broadly with reading comprehension, or does your brain dribble out your ear only when talking about Israel and things like the rule of law?

I’m just taking your word on your positions - it seems you’ve made them pretty clear.

Yep - right back around to confirming what you got butthurt about - your disregard of the rule of law, and genocide denial. Difference is that we know it’s both rather than an either/or now.

Did you read what whas said in that article, or…?

Yep - the IDF said they killed them, so you’ll be falling back from that dumb position to the next one - they were Hamas (like all those kids) I’ll let you point out the evidence that’s the case.

Also, you highlighted perfectly, perfectly how videos like this have no merit. One side says they’re civilians, the other - terrorists.

When 60%+ of the people you’re killing are children and you’re spouting openly genocidal rhetoric while making unsubstantiated claims those you’re killing are terrorists, it’s responsible to ask for evidence from the perspective of the rule of law (remember when you got all salty about that) and assessing warcrimes. You don’t get to bomb someone, just say they’re a terrorist, and walk free.

it’s absolutely will not be known until this is investigated properly, not by keyboard warriors and facebook

Ah yes - kill 'em all and (fail to) find the evidence to justify killing them later.

…but you care about genocide the rule of law, right?

So I’ll throw you a bone - here’s the most Israel-friendly source possible - The Times of Israel reporting on the IDF admitting it was them..

Again, clearly civilians - we’ll need evidence to the contrary - particularly when 60%-70% of the Palestinians killed have been children. Guess they were Hamas too, right?

Yep, there is no context for this and heavy framing in the article. I agree with both of your Disclamers, but this is just propaganda.

Dismissing HD footage of people that are clearly civilians being bombed, as propaganda.

You’ve presumably seen my evidence at this point - where’s the evidence justifying the execution of these people? Or is it Hamas (and a death sentence) until proven innocent?

Are you implying keyboard activism when there might be none in order to bolster your weak argument?

Trot on, you weird hypocritical defender of genocide deniers.

You forgot that alternative explanation you insist exists, champ.

By all means, tell me what their position is. Failing that, what’s the charitable assumption to make here?

As far as I can see, the likely options are:

• They support the genocide

• They don’t care about the rule of law

The former is more common in this context, but it’s both weird and worthless of you to insert yourself into the conversation to defend someone’s positions that (unless you can confidently answer this question) you don’t understand. Just like that, you’ve derailed the conversation into this irrelevant shit - what was your complaint again? Oh…

By pointing to evidence to back my claim and asking for consistent standards and something vaguely resembling the rule of law?

How do you propose we make the conversation better?

The context is the HD video footage of the IDF drone striking obvious unarmed civilians.

Where’s the context showing these people were enemy combatants deserving a death sentence by drone strike? Do you always take the “guilty until proven innocent” line, or is this a race thing?

Purchasing power of different generations tells you everything you need to know - there’s zero ambiguity in this - things have objectively got far worse and far more unequal since the 70’s.

Median roperty prices have increased more than 600% relative to median wages in the past 50 years where I’m from. Now, on 2 incomes, I’m trying to buy a modest apartment in that pumped market, and I’m bidding against downsizers and investors that were the beneficiaries of all that growth after buying a house that cost less than my deposit.

Now these motherfuckers call us lazy and gaslight us, saying everything is fine? Noah, fuck the boat - we’re building guillotines.

Is this freedom and small government?

Yep - that’d be the human intervention I mentioned, which is now being removed. It was clearly the people that were the ones shifting the targeting away from the legitimate military targets to civilians - AI wouldn’t get regularly things wrong, right?

I suppose it was the human intervention that made them consistently mistake unarmed civilians for enemy combatants - what could possibly go wrong with this approach?

I was going to ask who gets charged with the warcrimes when a computer bombs a wedding, but that’s not likely to change when the current answer is “nobody” or perhaps “the journalists that reported on it.”

Finally, did the biggest AI vendor’s primary product inexplicably shit the bed like a week ago? Yes? Oh no…
