Also lots of people who have been locked up and grew and changed as people.

My logic is that ideally nobody is displaced if they have been living there for generations, regardless of what happened literal centuries ago. That seems pretty straightforward. Colonialism does not justify as indigeneity, but my point stands, you would not give up your home in the same scenario.

Sure, that doesn't give them the right to displace the people who have been living there for over 600 years. To put it into context, if an indigenous American came and tried to take your house, claiming it was on land that belonged to their tribe, would you happily hand it over?

Further, there is a difference between a nation like Israel engaging in what is essentially ethnic cleansing and a militant group like Boko Haram. One isn't backed by the US military for one. Be serious.

I am concerned about people being killed and you're justifying it via colonialism which occured 600 years ago. These other conflicts you're referring to aren't backed by the United States military. Im concerned about my tax dollars contributing to the deaths of an estimated 20,000 children in Gaza.

Further, sure Israel may have at one point millenia ago been a Jewish land, it hadn't been so for hundreds of years by the time the modern Zionist movement had come around. You can't tell the Palestinians that were living there to hit the bricks because you want to establish a new ethnic homeland.

I dont think people's religious beliefs entitle them to land where other people currently live. Don't be dense. I'm not somehow suggesting that we forget about the holocaust just because I am acknowledging that the British dumped the jewish people onto land they acquired after WW1. (1/2)

The region known as Palistine had been majority muslim for like 600 years prior to the establishment of Israel. Show me any Israeli who's family had been on that land for more than three generations.

Excellent, so you understand that Zionists were basically just deposited onto land that has historically had Palistinians living there eight decades ago. Who have progressively had more and more land taken from them. One could understand how that might precipitate violence from a group. Right?

So do you think violence between Israel and Palestine did not exist prior to October 7th 2023? Also, do you think civilians, including children, should be held accountable for the actions of a terrorist organization? Earnest questions.

Science has known about anthropogenic climate change for almost a century. Moreover, consensus was reached over thirty years ago. The only reason we haven't done anything about it is corporate greed. We have known for a long fucking time that this is a problem.

Even pretending this isn't an intentional grift, the most generous grade she could possibly get based on the rubric is 5 points because it is meets the bare minimum requirement of being legible.

Flat earthers believe """they""" will stop you from reaching the edge/icewall/whatever the fuck. Because for some reason the whole world is conspiring to make people think the world is round with an unprecedented level of collaboration between world powers.

The thing is, AI can't really do all of that, at least not LLMs. Execs are so eager to replace people with AI but in the process will make every service much worse while also leaving people dirt poor.

It absolutely was Immoral, there were many many abolitionists in the United states at the time. And even more people who from the outside looking in, were horrified by antebellum slavery. Jefferson was a demon even among his racist contemporaries.
