I guess the real answer is government subsidized college.

Free college.

An investment in the future through rigorous and accessible education.

It’s called “reappropriation”, and there are words in other groups, such as the LGBT community, which are only considered “acceptable” when used by members of the in-group.

They don’t market them well, though.

Western democracy has its issues. Namely capitalism.

Oh, wait, China has that problem too.

Western democracy also has issues with authoritarians constantly trying to weasel their way into power.

OH WAIT CHINA ALREADY HAS THAT

The CPC is Communist in name only, and the Party controls the dissemination of all information and has encouraged a nationalist stance.

I’m open to communism, but China isn’t the model we need to emulate.

Hi-res geometry. Nice.

Netanyahu has every opportunity to tell his army not to target civilian dwellings.

But he isn’t. Because he and his ilk have repeatedly stated their opinions that Palestinians don’t matter. They aren’t people.

Israel has been waiting on an excuse to genocide the Palestinians for at least a decade now. Hamas just gave it to them.

It’s wrong-headed to try to absolve either side of any blame here. Hamas are terrorists. So is the Israeli state.

Israel has a right to be paranoid and militant. They’ve had to fight for their right to exist as a nation for 70-80 years now. Constantly under attack. Constantly at war.

And the Palestinians have the right to be angry. Their land was stolen from them to make room for a Jewish State. They were displaced with no attempt to compromise. And they’ve been discriminated against and murdered systematically since.

So course extremist factions popped up on both sides.

Innocent people have been murdered by both. Hamas might have started this most recent fight, but Israel has had no qualms in using its superior firepower just as ruthlessly.

Right? This law is purely an attempt to intimidate. Because of teachers are fired or arrested for striking, then the state has only made the strike permanent.

It would wreck the entire economy.

Forget challenging it in court. Call their bluff. Strike.

I strongly believed for years that the benefit of a non-state-affiliated press was that it was free of state control, thus less likely to become propaganda outlets.

Don’t worry, I realized the flaw in that logic over ten years ago.

Money. Money was the flaw.

Fuck capitalism.

I call BS. I feel it’s more popular than ever to dunk on the US. Like, there’s still a sect of 'MURICAN PATURYOTS that get big mad, but most of us are well aware of reality.
