The Democracy of the founding fathers was Greek Democracy, predicated upon a slave society, and restricted to only the elite. This is the society we live in today, even with our reforms towards direct representation. The system is inherently biased towards the election of elites and against the representation of the masses. Hamilton called it “faction” when the working class got together and demanded better conditions, and mechanisms were built in (which still exist to this day) that serve to ensure the continued dominance of the elite over the masses. The suffering of the many is intentional. The opulence of the wealthy is also. This is the intended outcome.

    Bro, I’m a primary source. Have fun not impacting the world at all.

    There’s only one side in this conflict claiming death to one side and it’s not Israel. When a group tells you who they are, you should believe them.

      Their former UN envoy is on record saying Palestinians are animals. Not hamas. Palestinians. If you don’t see what they’re trying to do, you don’t have your eyes open.

        I’m not familiar with that record but I’m sure that if it is true it has something to do with the former title. People get emotional sometimes. That doesn’t make it policy.

      Yep. When the Israelis say their intention is to push all palestinians in Gaza into the Sinai Peninsula, I believe them. Which is by definition genocide.

          Several. I have spoken to many family friends, one of whom is an Israeli journalist. Do you have a complex perspective or just meaningless grandstanding based on your own infallibility. This is what this has always been, horny trans memes with a heavy tilt against systems of oppression and genocidal governments. This is not equatable to supporting those systems, because one hurts people and one offends you. Hamas is not Palestine, civilians are not militants, only one group here has been occupying land and displacing innocents for generations.

            Your source is that you know a person who heard it once from a journalist speaking their opinion? I’ll let that speak for itself.

              No I know a person who is a journalist in Israel and is Israeli. Don’t reply if you don’t care to read for meaning and just to argue for your own biases.

                That’s not a primary source and you are a useful idiot.
