I meant to comment on the data in the context of ‘biggest bar’
I didn’t even pay attention the post title for some reason, I just went straight to the graph! But yeah the population pyramid shows the issue with that claim.
Anyway, no worries and no harm done! I appreciate the clarification
Important points! It was just an off the cuff comparison
IMO, it’s not a great data set to claim Israelis are intentionally targeting children, but it is pretty good for saying they are not intentionally targeting military-age men.
Agree completely. I don’t think they’re intentionally targeting children but it does not look like they are targeting any subgroup in particular.
My original intent was just to say it looks pretty close to what you’d expect if you just dropped bombs at random. I might look to find better data later on
Good spot! Thanks
Unfortunately the genders are on opposite sides here but compare these two graphs and tell me the bombing is not indiscriminate
It’s been over a year since Israeli government officials announced that they were going to starve Gaza. They hold up aid for no reason. They massacred people collecting flour. They destroyed aid convoys they knew about and coordinated with. They have been doing exactly what they said they would and all America has done is make them pinky swear it would get better.
They will do nothing about this. Not because they will believe the lies Israel tells, but because they fundamentally do not care.
I really didn’t.
Edit: meaning I am not American and if I was I would have voted Harris, not that Trump is not significantly worse.
Over 50% of the god damn country voted for a man who has so many major, should-be career ending flaws we don’t even need to list them anymore. If he kicked a puppy it wouldn’t even make the top 10 worst things he’s done. The democrats lost to the stupidest president of all time, a man who’s entire economic policy revolves around tariffs that he fundamentally doesn’t even understand and who cannot seem to open his mouth without lying.
…and you’re here dunking on the people trying to oppose America’s blatant complicity in genocide. Well, you sure showed them.
“Yes, my candidate is Mussolini, but her opponent is Hitler! Clearly a vote for Mussolini is better than a vote for Hitler!”
Why would you be criticising Mussolini if you didn’t secretly want Hitler to win?! I cannot possibly come up with any other explanation. You must be trying to trick us.
You mean antagonizing European football fans can result in violence?
So it is going to be incredibly expensive to remove immigrants and… err… reduce GDP? This is the man America trusts with the economy because something something tariffs something something eggs
Maybe Trek was just a few years off on the Bell Riots
Blaming ordinary people achieves nothing. If you want to do that, why not start with the ones who actively voted for Trump?
The blame lies with the democratic party establishment. People were not happy and they decided to offer more of the same. And now they try to turn the blame on the guy struggling to afford his groceries rather than admitting to their failure, and then you fall in line and join the blame game. If they believed Trump was such a threat they could have made sure they had the best candidate they could get, with a primary. But they misled you and tried to make it your responsibility to bolster their shitty centrist candidate and convince everyone to ignore the blood on her hands.
IT DID NOT WORK. They were too pig headed to learn this lesson in 2016. If Trump really does what we fear, it might already be too late to learn it. But if it is not, you need to stop blaming your neighbours and start blaming the fuckers who keep trying to force shit sandwiches down your throat just because the other guy is literally Hitler.
Try standing for something other than just being better than Trump for fuck’s sake.
No worries dude. Sorry if I upset you!
In the future, when you finish your script or just look through my profile, you’ll see we’re on the same side.
the people who beat them into a submissive “it’s all pointless” mentality
I don’t believe that and never did that. All I did is criticise Biden for supporting the genocide and Harris for saying she’d do the same. If you don’t understand why someone might do that despite wanting the democrats to win the election, you really might be too far gone.
The worst thing is someone who is so cynical and unhappy that they can’t tell genuine belief and genuine concern from some evil ploy on behalf of their enemies.
If you don’t believe anything I say I guess there really is no point in this discussion. In any case, look after yourself.
As I said, I’m not American or in America and I still get it. Last time the day Trump got elected and this time so far I have gotten no work done because it’s just so fucking miserable
You’re sitting here a) as someone I 100% blame for this outcome. You got people to stay home, full stop. There’s zero doubt about it.
You are utterly delusional. I never once advocated for not voting or voting for Trump. Never. That’s why you haven’t found an example of me doing it. If by criticising US support for a genocide I am somehow to blame for this outcome I don’t know what to tell you. I will never let that slide and nobody with morals should let it slide either.
I would’ve never considered not voting in the past but here I am wondering what the fucking point is. Burn the US to the ground. It’s happening against my will so why fucking fight it.
Despite that, this is really sad dude. Take a break. Be with your loved ones. I really hope things get better.
It has to do good to be useful. It’s accurate to say the voters are at fault for the outcome of the election, it’s just so obvious it’s downright brain dead and so useless that if analysis stops there it will result in a red 2028 too.
The people who need to improve that we can actually effect change in are the DNC leadership. If you don’t see that you are as blind as the MAGA crowd.
By your weird logic the election results cannot be real because they will result in evil
Yeah when your summary of someone’s logic is this stupid it’s safe to say you have probably misunderstood something.
Trump voters and possible Trump voters are either stupid, racist or not really thinking things through. That is all bad. But is it so confusing for you that people expect the dems to actually manage this situation and genuinely appeal to voters rather than simply expecting voters to stop making bad decisions? What good will blaming the voter do? NONE.
It might feel good, and I can understand that. You’re allowed to be mad at them. But they are normal people worried about their grocery bill and (probably) not making detailed analyses of party platforms. The democratic leaders are the ones who are supposed to win at politics by appealing to them.
The thing is, you advocated the approach the dems went for, and lost with. All of the people complaining about Palestine did not. And despite your claims they generally did not believe Trump would have been better.
I’m not saying Palestine cost them the election, the problem is much bigger, but perhaps standing for something or especially standing for what is RIGHT would have made a difference. Turnout could have been the killer and that could have had an impact.
Anyway, I don’t really get what caused it but I feel for you all. I don’t even live there and it fucking sucks even for me. Shitty day, many more coming.
That’s because it is horrible. The vast majority of Israel’s victims are innocent and that includes adult males, the vast majority of whom are also innocent.
