The Oldest Man posted:the other 91% is automated sniper rifles to shoot kids in the knees and quadcopters with guns on them to mow down people at an emergency food distribution point I could dig around for the papers on this, but yeah, it's deceptive. The US subsidizes Israel thrice over: By providing all of the industry intensive parts of the Israeli military, and munitions, their basic equipment needs are met, so they can focus on high tech goods exclusively, which they then turn around and sell on the global arms market - including selling these heavily subsidized high tech items back to the US via IAI, Elbit Systems and Rafael. The US essentially pays Israel to sell arms abroad, crowding US firms out of the market, and because they're subsidized, undercutting US suppliers for American procurement as well.

The US pays Israel to have a fart app based economy, essentially. Which feeds into the Israeli sense of superiority about being knowledge workers and entrepreneurs as well, but that's all underwritten by US taxpayers money.

quote:If anything at all can stop the path we’re on, it’s voting. You are 100% correct, but most people aren't going to like the timeframe: It took the right-wing 40 years of chain voting to remove abortion rights, and it may very well take 40 years of chain voting in the other direction to fix it. That means...showing up for every election (including non-presidential ones!). For 40 years. It is unfortunate that many on the left get angry when they show up once a decade and everything they want isn't instantly implemented.

Thank you. I, like, thought there was more of a story to it than that. But I also used to be unfamiliar with forums user Nichael.

one problem with these kinds of intellectual exercises is that if you take the position that all cultural beliefs should be respected without needing to understand what they are and how they work or why they exist you naturally stop being skeptical of stories that seem obviously absurd because the exact logic of why a culture behaves the way that it does isnt relevant if this respect is supposed to be unconditional so you just take any claim at face value in this particularly case for example the obvious question being begged is do japanese samurai actually bisect random people in half solely to test samurai swords or is this verb assuming it even exists supposed to have a more metaphorical meaning and if japanese samurai did actually do that was this consistent throughout the entire samurai era or did commoners start complaining at some point because of how hard it was to get any work done when samurai sword testers could kill laborers at random with impunity in this way while respect for the idea of random murder as a means of samurai sword testing can seem on its face to be antiracist the complete lack of rigor applied to interrogating the belief actually does the exact opposite namely encouraging reflexive unthinking stereotypes about how life is cheap in the orient without stopping to consider whether the important part of this story that may or may not even be true is that the samurai were japanese as opposed to their having an exalted class marker their being japanese suggests that random murder as a means of samurai sword testing is just a weird quirk irrelevant to people in more civilized cultures but a focus on the samurais exalted class marker begs the question of whether other cultures such as ourselves with similar exalted class markers might also be engaging in similar behavior just not in such an exotic alien sounding way
