Back in the dark ages we didn’t understand mental illness, so we just tossed mentally ill people in the oubliette to languish and die.
Now in the modern era we know so much more about mental illness, yet we are still doing that same shit omg wtf
Lemmy as a whole is left leaning, but this is LW, Lemmy’s home for blueMAGA.
9·1 month agoI appreciate your skepticism, but if that’s your burden of proof, then I’m unsure how you would ever form a political opinion. Its conjecture and propaganda all the way down, mate.
The most scientific approach one can take is look at all the evidence, form hypothesis and alternate hypothesis, and determine the likelihood of each.
I do not trust Trump, and I certainly do not believe he cares about Palestinians. But the only hypothesis that seems to fit the facts is “Trump envoy applied pressure, Bibi capitulated”. But if anyone has an alternate theory I would be interested to hear it.
He claimed credit for sending an envoy to Israel to actually use American leverage to procure a ceasefire. The actual terms of the Trump/Netanyahu deal are yet unknown.
If you don’t believe Trumps narrative, then you have to come up with an alternate explanation as to why Netanyahu suddenly accepted the terms of the ceasefire deal that has been on the table since at least May 2023. Personally, I have not heard of a plausible alternate theory.
It’s funny how smart people can recognize that Trump lies all the time, and Trump will tell a room whatever they want to hear, etc.
But if you have a single Trump quote that you think will win an argument, well Trump surely meant it this time, no lie detected.
No, the point was not to shoot them.
A few CEOs dying from tarring and feathering would just be a happy little accident.

Certainly the assassination of Ferdinand is a proximate cause of WWI, but there were much greater forces in play. The great powers had giant mechanized armies for the first time, they had plans for the deployment of millions on very strict deadlines, and they had the belief that failure to meet those deadlines would mean national destruction.
I think it is more plausible to argue that propaganda of the deed helped to end the gilded age and usher in the New Deal era, which was America’s golden era.
I also act under political desperation. Only under the most optimistic assumptions will electoralism be able to save us from climate change; currently the most likely outcome is human extinction. If the propaganda of the deed has only a 5% chance of saving us from our modern gilded age and the resultant climate-induced end of civilization, then I say it is a chance we must take for we are running out of serious options.
11·3 months agoYour post ignores all of the flaws pointed out in the Princeton study that I mentioned. If you take more flaws into account I think the score will be far lower than 5/10.
But I am more curious about how your “path to fix the issues” will actually get implemented. I agree with your solutions, but they have no chance of being passed by Democrats or Republicans.
I think you are doing the meme of “How to draw an owl. Step 1: Draw the owl.”

The major political parties may have only changed names once, but the most common stance in modern political science is that we are in the 6th political party alignment in US history.
