It's part of the american capitalist dynamic to protect capital by reframing systemic societal problems to be exclusively issues of personal responsibility. It's largely why Americans are so, so fat compared to other nations.

The people telling us that sweatshops are a necessary thing are the same people telling all of us that we will be replaced by a robot shortly. They're the same people that will proclaim that the sky will fall if you raise the retiremen

>And also when "the rich" have more profit, they now want to spend that profit on things In general those things that "the rich" buy are scarce assets - stocks, housing, land, etc. all of which keep getting bidded up

Your argument here is simply "rich people dont take second homes". I think it's rather obvious that they do.

With cars you can build a high margin luxury and a low margin affordable model if there are two buyers and collect profit from both. With an apartment if there's one plot available, you build the high margin apartment. Land constraints

It still doesn't make sense that advanced attackers would go to those lengths in order to... refund the customers.

Many among the Jewish resistance fought nazis and killed civilian collaborators. Im sure the Nazis told all sorts of stories like this one about the Jewish resistance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas_baby_beheading_

This is actually what the Nazis thought the Jews wanted - "if we dont exterminate them, theyll exterminate us". Their actions made sense in this context. It's one of several ways the zionists mirror the nazis.

Iranian propaganda cant even convince the west that it was adhering to the IAEA deal. The Islamophobic contingent of American society loves a good conspiracy theory about muslims controlling the media though.

This is probably as much of a reflection of the market size and lack of device fragmentation for the apple ecosystem than demand. It's similarly easier to buy a wide range of different case designs for apple.

Ultimately it will be A) Israel who takes power once the population has been exterminated down to a size they can manage. B) the israeli regime will be overthrown with military force by an international coalition excluding the west. Current

It's become increasingly apparent that most accusations of anti semitism these days are a thin veil over genocidal islamophobia. which isnt to say anti semitism doesnt exist or even that it isnt getting worse, just that most of the pea

Nobody wants to fund it. Fervent supporters of Israel believe all sorts of nonsense about support for Hamas in the west. It functions as a kind of whataboutism.

The evidence has become overwhelming now. Genocide denial in Gaza has become equivalent to holocaust denial - just another racist trope.

Jinping would be a better comparison if you wanted to downplay all of this - he's less of a persona non grata. All 3 like to crack down on free speech and monitor internet traffic for identical reasons though.
