Comment Re:we the people do have power (Score 1) 55

There will be no improvement until we realize the substantial degree to which our system has drifted toward aristocracy with a two-party facade.

The need for reform is substantial, but all we get from you is a Polyanna complacency. And no, Trump does not look like a reformer. His term wasn't as bad as I figured it would be, or it was worse in different ways. And the hormonal release of a second term could be entertaining, albeit briefly. But if we don't attack the root/rot causes, then it's moot.

In defense of Gaza, managing an economy ain't beanbag. Saw this in Afghanistan, a similar enough bombed-out gravel heap since the Soviet invasion ~1980 that the comparison may be fair.

One needs (for starters) natural resources, security, educated workers, reliable governance, and infrastructure to run a modern economy. And those need to happen in parallel.

One can blame Israel for everything (and they do), or one can decide that one is going opt for something different.

Despite copious piles of aid over decades, the Gazans have chosen the former.

Quick: what is the ethnically Arab population of Israel? How are those people faring?

They have been holding Palestinians in forced poverty for years.

While this may be a pretext for atrocities that seem to fascinate you and Your Team, it's also untrue. Vast resources have been poured over years into these areas, but you can't seem to be bothered to notice the illicit uses to which those resources have been put. Your Team needs to come clean if it ever wants to be taken seriously.

Are you really calling for the brainwashing of an entire nation?

Are you so benighted as to overlook that fact that a population has been brainwashed? Possibly you're a bit "brain-rinsed", yourself, given your strange comfort level with the racism (specifically, anti-Semitism) on offer.

I haven't said a thing about the Palestinians. I've been showing zero mercy toward Hamas.

Whatever the eventual decision, the thing to understand is that there are no easy answers, or quick fixes. An entire generation has been brainwashed to think genocidal thoughts regarding another group (which is genetically indistinguishable, ironically). How does one put a culture through detox? This is actually important, as we have to think about what to do with the Wokesters whom Your Team has poisoned toward our own country with your CRT/DEI/Commie garbage.

It would take a raging fool to reject the notion that small numbers of people seek vast amounts of power. Yet you scream and shout "Conspiracy!" from the rooftops in lieu of acknowledging simple human behavior.

Support the redistribution of power, not wealth, and I will think you something other than ridiculous.
