"I have a vague and biased assumption about the strategic objectives of the belligerents... therefore inaccuracy and propaganda in this conflict does not exist."

No. I'm saying it doesn't fucking matter. It doesn't matter who committed what atrocity. It doesn't matter who lost how much. Snake Island is irrelevant. Ghost of Kyviv is irrelevant.

What matter is why the war is fought, who is involved and has a stake in it and who wins in the end. Everything else is unimportant shit that can only be investigated after the dust has settled anyway.

What fog of war? In this day and age it is extremely easy to understand what is going on. There's been no fog of war in Ukraine. It's a conflict between Russia and the US over who gets to control Ukraine. That's been pretty fucking obvious since 2014.

Same shit goes for Israel. Israel wants territory. Countless of highranking officials have admitted to that. It's about cleansing Gaza and the West Bank from Palestinians and taking it for themselves. Same old shit Israel's been doing since the very beginning. No fog of war here either.

Prolonging this shit results in so much more deaths.

When Israel is done with Gaza, the West Bank is next. When the West Bank is done, Lebanon is next. When Lebanon is done, Syria is next. When Syria is done, Jordan is next. When Jordan is done, Iraq is next. When Iraq is done, Egypt is next. When Egypt is done, Saudia Arabia is next.

And all of it will be funded by US and European tax payers. Stop funding Israel and the Middle East will stabilize in record time. As long as Israel has a blanque check to do whatever the fuck they want they'll never stop.

Because holding the clipper like that you won't be able to cut your hair as short as the clipper is capable of. The blades are too far away from the skin. It is simply the wrong way to do it.

Thats what TF2 and CS2 is for. Why create new casinos if the old ones are still running stronger than ever?

Valve prefers to print money by getting kids addicted to gambling. They don't develop games anymore.

He doesn't support social assistance. He supports whatever is in his (assets) best interests. Shouldn't surprise anyone as you can not become a billionaire without being deeply selfish and ruthless. Unless you get obscenely lucky.

Unless the billionaire is or wants to be king of a nation you can be assured that he doesn't give a singular shit about a nations and its peoples well being unless he's personally negatively affected by it.

I don't even think he wants his economic zone to win. He personally wants to win. If he thought the best way to do that would be by moving to China he would.

Not really. The mask needs to slip for people to wake up. This is a good thing. The more people wake up the better. Nothing else will bring change.

Musk is a corporate billionaire. He only cares about his own personal ambitions. He doesn't give a singular shit about nations or blood or people. Btw Trump is the same.

Democracy is the perfect system to exploit and pacify the population while brainwashing them into thinking there is no other way. It's a scam. It has always been a scam.

Did I hear Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society that were instrumental in passing the 1965 immigration act which flooded the US with non-white immigrants?

Getting molested or abused is a major factor in being a pedo, abuser, child hurter of some form. The same applies to them, whatever background they have is tragic but they still made the choice themselves at the end of the day.

Equating drug addicts with child molesters or serial killers is a tad extreme, don't you think?

Yes, you have drug addicts who aren't just addicts but also are horrible people who commit heinous or even unforgivable acts. But to lump every addict together with those people is definitely uncalled for.

By teaching someone that their actions are forgivable, you take away from the evil of said action by giving them hope that they can come back on the other end clean and absolved.

Being addicted is not evil. Being addicted is an affliction. Committing evil acts to fuel the addiction is evil but far from every addict is guilty of that. The addiction can be an explanation or at least help to explain these acts but they're never an excuse for it.

I will never absolve anyone of their sins because of 'mitigating' factors. Doesn't matter if its an addiction or anything else. No normal human being will come back from an addiction feeling 'clean' and 'absolved'. Your past actions will always haunt you for the rest of your life even if you manage to 'forgive' yourself for it. Only if you're a psychopath can you just go on living your life and not giving a shit about what you've done in the past.

Junkies of any form are not that and hardly deserve not to just be put down like the rabid dogs they are.

What's your definition of junkie?

But at the end of the day, all of that culminates to a single moment where they lacked enough control to not do something.

Those factors are what leads to the lack of self control. They're the underlying issues that need to be fixed in order for the individual not to indulge in that destructive behavior. It's not always the case, some have just a stupid lapse in judgement, yes but in general it's a culmination of these factors.

We humans are a product of our genetics, upbringing, surroundings and life experience. Self control is a learned skill not something innate.

That's how I see it anyway.

You can in fact do both. See how and why they fell into the pit, while also reminding them that they jumped into it on their own and are owed nothing but the derision that brings.

And what is that going to achieve?

We see the multiplicative factors and work to minimize them, and not tempt people further into sin, while also condemning those who do as a staunch fear lesson that they will not be granted mercy in doing so.

You don't tempt people into sin by helping people who've lost their way. You don't stop people from getting addicted by condemning the already condemned. Nobody looks up to a homeless junkies whose flesh is rotting away. Their very existence condemns them.

You need to make an active choice to begin, and that's the only thing that matters regardless of if its easier or harder for you to fall down the hole.

I disagree. For adults that may be true but many addicts start down on that path during childhood. Doesn't change the fact that they need to take responsibility for their bad habits as adults to change though. Only you yourself can fix your shit. Nobody else can do it for you. No matter the reasons why you fell down that hole. But it is of vital importance to understand WHY you fell down that hole otherwise you'll inevitably fall down again. Maybe it won't be another addiction but some other equally destructive behavior.

If someone gets hooked and gets clean, that's great for them and for the rest of us. But its also not something to be lauded either.

Making mistakes is unavoidable in life. Taking responsibility and fixing them is to be lauded as it shows that you have grown as a person. Obviously there are exceptions.

Now I'm not saying getting addicted to drugs is unavoidable but depending on your situation it can get very easy to make that mistake. If you grow up in a fucked up household in a fucked up city with a fucked up community and you manage to avoid to become a fucked up invidividual yourself that is actually an exceptional achievement that you should be proud of. Escaping the cycle isn't easy.

I tossed my own mother in jail for her junkie habits, I'm not going to be nicer to a complete stranger for theirs.

Not saying you should be nice. Not saying you should go on a quest to save junkies either. Most of the time junkies need a hard slap in the face to change anyway. And someone who isn't willing to fix their shit isn't deserving of your sympathy or help anway. It is a waste of time and effort. Sometimes you have no other choice but to cut people out of your life, even family and that is nothing to feel bad about. I've done so myself multiple times although (thankfully) not for drug addiction. So I won't blame you for cutting ties with your mother instead of wasting your life trying to fix her.

But to understand the reasons why they went down that path is extremely important and beneficial. Especially for a society but also for individuals. And most of the time it isn't as simple as "they didn't have enough self-control". Obviously it's irrelevant why a random stranger went down a bad path to me as an individual but understanding why my parents made certain mistakes was very important and beneficial to me as I was able to fix some of my own problems because of it.

It's the police officer or bystander who's saying it and it's not "Allahu Akbar" but "Dummer Hurensohn". So stupid sonofabitch/whoreson.

Why are we pretending like religious jews love Christians when their talmud says Jesus is burning in excrement in hell?

Because a large majority of Christians are useful idiots.
