They keep doing monstrous things and it makes them look like monsters?

Maybe stop doing those monstrous things.

Israel isn't looking to give up its mantle as the crybully champion of the world any time soon.

If justifiable self-defence by Israel looks like 40,972+ dead Palestinians (mostly civilians as we know) in response to 1,478 dead Israelis, what would justifiable Palestinian self-defence look like? I'll remind you that as a current or former member of the IDF, every Israeli adult is an enemy combatant.

My understanding is that it's difficult to prevent kids from dying when you bomb every school, children's hospital, aid center, and potential Palestinian you see.

Maybe ease up on the genocide and warcrimes rather than crying there's nothing you can do as you gleefully kill tens of thousands of people in a population that's mostly children as you scream that they're animals and you want a second bigger Amalek. Maybe don't enforce an apartheid ethnostate, maybe don't seize peoples' land at gunpoint. Maybe as the global center of Judaism, you should showcase Jewish values rather than missile striking 4 day old newborns.

Police unions - what could possibly go wrong when the members of the arm of state power collectivise to exercise their collective power. The example you've selected speaks volumes about your sincerity and/or familiarity with the subject.

Similarly, unchecked power wielded by divine mandate that never had an interest in structural checks. We couldn't possibly bake such checks into a more democratic, less hierarchical governmental and economic system.

You want to shit on the concept of democracy while you're at it because of the current state of the US, champ?

There have been direct actions recently - they get subjected to media blackout. If you want to shift public sentiment, you need eyeballs - they get eyeballs, and while responses are obviously mixed, they lean positive over time.

To be fair, liberalism, while far better isn't remotely close to being an adequate solution, but we all need to kick the can down the road by picking whatever least bad option is available to us.

Nosferatu needs to lay off the blood of the innocent for a bit - he's clearly over-indulged.

Being less evil would be nice, but we can only reasonably expect so much.

Because the genocide is the point.

Israeli leadership have admitted to funding Hamas' displacement of the secular moderates with predictable results - the only credible explanation for this is that it was to manufacture the pretext for their current actions.

I've tried arch (and preferred Endeavour), but found both needed too much attention - If you consider "operating system" a hobby, they're perfect - the versatility is endless if you invest the time.

Personally, I want my OS to get out of the way and let me do what I want.

I cast arms embargo, ICJ and ICC...

And the banks. Incrementally easing into the housing market, and shifting company ownership to the workers sounds like a good idea - can't have all the profits from workers' labour being handed to lazy welfare queen shareholders.

Is "it works" the average experience of an Arch user?

Edit: Folks, I know it wasn't clear, but this was rhetorical. I love the passion that motivates all of you to share your personal experiences - it's what keeps Linux moving forward... But you beautiful bastards need to chill.

You can't seriously expect them to track every school, children's hospital, aid center and shelter they bomb, can you? They ask look the same after a while... Blood-stained rubble and twisted rear. They've got 4 day old Hamas newborns to genocide - priorities, people.

Absolute fucking demons, and living in a country whose government supports Israel (though I don't think my country is arming them) is sickening.
