I assume they are frustrated and they're talking about how a good heroic outcome has sinister alternatives at every fork in the road. Different people react differently and the people who heroically soldier on are not simply saving the day, they are like an extension of dangerous policy. They're never going to talk to the controller so it's more general I think. Like "don't be a hero, don't be like this guy, if your bosses create a deadly environment then walk away"

Edit: I can be hypocritical and an asshole so if I say try assuming people are correct, might want to just ignore me.

I'm not saying it's untrue, I'm saying it's kind of anemic. In the past we've had presidents with more significant margins. Obama was popular and he hit 8%. We generally have notable margins and that's when we talk up the popular vote. Don't you think it's funny to juxtapose "Trump won the popular vote. (at 1.5%)" with your memory / knowledge of history?

One thing that makes it look good is that post 9/11 Bush barely hit ~3%. Making Trump about half as popular as a president rallying behind a national tragedy.

Israel has the means to discover and expose evidence. Israel has the need for positive PR. But Israel consistently does not provide satisfactory evidence for their actions. Best case, they only have "reasonable" suspicion from a military standpoint. At best they think they should be blowing up hospitals for reasons, but know people won't accept the collection of evidence they have, and so this is what happens.

To rephrase for lemmings: Israel bad. Israel want evidence. Israel can get evidence. But Israel no provide evidence. Probably because there's no evidence.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets annoying comments from people who can't read

When I read through the American report, it detailed genocide by Israel. It painted a horrific picture with Israel holding up or "losing" food and medicine in order to starve civilians.

The report concluded with "There is no genocide."

It's what happens when there's a genocide but you decide there isn't one, but you still need to describe the genocide.

On YouTube I'm seeing

Steve ✓ (2 hrs ago): Can't believe that happened. Has anyone tried Elons bullshit? (20k likes.)

(Then a bunch of replies praising Elons AI.)

Bob (5 hrs ago): Can't believe that happened. (10 likes.)

(Reply pointing out a Bob had his comment copied by a bot)

Saying Trump won the popular vote sounds a lot different than saying he won 49% to 48%.

When I was homeless I littered in the city. Being homeless around poor people is like being poor around billionaires. You have no pride in keeping their lands pristine. The upper class hits you with their cars, block crosswalks, talk shit about you, provide no accommodations. The upper class acts like it's a fucking pain to help you and they attribute every little problem to your class.

But also, the city installs trash cans spaced 15-20 minutes apart, while allowing garbage piles to stay on corners for days or weeks.

I think it was probably the third or fourth time a poor person nearly hit me and reacted angrily like I fucked up for using a crosswalk at 6am, that I went from keeping trash in my pockets and thinking ones actions reflects on them, to throwing trash on the ground and denting cars when they narrowly avoided hitting me. (As an aside, it sucks when you kick their side mirror and it just folds instead of breaking.)

Maybe it's really because chess is one of the traditional ways to escape oppression. There's more than a few top players that have done so, and speak out about it.

Nice lintels.
