I don’t think it’s just the fact that she’s a black/Asian woman.

I saw this on BBC News which is probably correct:

[Trump has] completely “reimagined” the Republican party from its country club voter stereotype to appealing to working class families, while the Democrats had become the “party of Hollywood”.

I get paranoid enough about making sure I’m clicking the correct search result and not some scam. I hope I would avoid any AI answers but yeah, to many people it could be confusing.

I live in the UK and we already have hate speech laws making certain speech illegal, e.g. extreme racist speech. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if the encouragement of suicide was also illegal under such laws. Do we really think that people should have the right to encourage suicide? Surely the right of others to live is more important.

I dunno, I’m just suggesting it, I’m not saying the law should definitely be changed in this way.

It would be more democratic if Puerto Rico had the same congressional representation as a state. Same with DC. Also, maybe the number of senators for every state should be proportional to population, again to make things more democratic.

If it was just one occurrence then maybe a large fine or some community service. If someone does it multiple times then maybe prison time. I’m just guessing really. People who are more knowledgeable about the justice system than I am could probably answer this better.

“Killing is fine as long as your numbers aren’t too high”

It’s just a dumb take isn’t it.

Edit: you’ll try to say “that’s not what I’m saying” but it’s what you’re suggesting, by saying that Hamas are somehow more moral. What I’m suggesting is that maybe they’re both bad. Also, if Hamas had the same amount of weaponry that Israel has, do we really think Hamas would hold back?

I think the ICJ was correct to want to bring the leaders of Israel and Hamas to trial for war crimes. I don’t think it makes sense to give one side a pass, or say they’re better, when both have killed many innocent people who didn’t deserve death.

I’m not excusing Hamas. The fact that you read what I did says that you are either responding in bad faith

The fact that you seem so upset with me saying that killing civilians is bad no matter who does it implies to me that you think it’s fine when some people do it. Or that it’s fine as long as they don’t kill too many people.

You’re extremely stupid.

Yeah I’m not into the whole “let’s excuse Hamas” thing. In my view killing civilians is bad, which is why I think both Hamas and the Israeli government are bad. Neither should kill civilians at all - not 1, not 100, not 1,000, etc.

I think I heard on the radio the other day someone saying that reparations should be less about handing cash to descendants of slaves, and more about investing in descendants of slaves, which I guess would mean ensuring that those descendants have an equal access to education and job opportunities, and maybe other adjustments. Whether that’s a good idea, I guess society would have to decide, but I thought it was interesting.

In the future it might not be though. Developing countries are getting richer and they have growing populations. Britain’s population isn’t growing that much. Even public opinion within Britain may one day favour reparations, let alone outside of Britain.
