Very pretty but it is inhumane to hunt doves just to cut their tail off and throw them back in.

We cannot ignore the fact that once the capacity for choice is introduced something essential is changed. I don't think there is an easy place to draw the line, I expect it is only degrees of gray past a certain point with preventing poor quality of life/debilitating disabilities but on the other hand it is very clear to me that there are very very very BAD places to draw the line and I absolutely do not trust the structures of society nor the choices of individuals not to violate basic human decency here. I am not an extremist on this, what I am is very worried about how I see a desire in people to choose their children in a way that would never be healthy even if they could.

The absolute most efficient method for increasing the likelihood of american and european military powers giving larger amounts of military aid to Ukraine.

I think we need to understand the rational reasons immigrants that are entering as a minority into this country might adopt rightwing/conservative beliefs.

Inequality, colonialism as a tactic to police the behavior of populations, fascism and hate REQUIRE the even more vulnerable to be turned against the vulnerable or else it all falls apart.

What the specific levers that are that are used to get immigrants to vote against their own interests whether it be fear, manipulation, lies or threats is less interesting than the fact that this entire structure of oppression can be shattered by simple, meaningful unjudgemental solidarity with one another as average human beings who want the same basic things.

Eeew how could you make this choice as a parent and not feel like an ingrown creep who wants a video game character creation tool where you can amuse yourself by crafting an object just as you like it instead of seeing a child as the gift of a living, breathing, unpredictable, utterly unique and esoteric human you have the privilege of witnessing endlessly surprise you?

This kind of attitude is ALREADY the source of countless children suffering from the selfish reductiveness of their parents' gaze, I dread that science is further enabling it.

The governing coalition has been in constant tension with senior IDF leadership, which has long argued that all achievable military objectives in Gaza have been achieved, and that continued operation is counter productive.

The IDF is still full of foot soldiers who have willingly and knowingly prosecuted the Palestinian Genocide, the entire "military" structure is complicit top to bottom. IDF soldiers all the way from the top leadership down to grunts deserve to be in jail equally.

Israeli society has been radicalized into genocide, complicity is omnipresent and distributed down chains of command, if IDF personnel think they can argue "I was just following orders!" they are ignorant fools who refused to learn history or listen to basic calls for human empathy and they deserve to be prosecuted as active and willing participants in the Palestinian Genocide to the full extent possible.

Seriously, the IDF is hardly a professional military at this point, in most ways it is simply a formalized institution for ethnic cleansing using expensive military equipment they are given as handouts by the US military.

The IDF does not even follow basic rules of engagement, they see a civilian, have impulse feelings about it and then shoot. No threat analysis, no consideration over whether lethal force is necessary by a chain of command and absolutely NO accountability for blatant horrific war crimes. The IDF is not a military, it is a bunch of murderers wearing military fatigues.

Yeah I remember voicing this concern when all online communities seemed to be going to discord and people seemed to mainly laugh at me in response at the time.
