ITT: A post critical of China gets flooded by lemmy.ml whataboutism comments.
Meanwhile,my asshole employer is doubling down on office return. They’re establishing a quota per group. My group is like 75% not near (over 1 hr drive) an ooffice. They want to allow only 15% to be remote. This insanity serves no purpose

‘Invested’ is a polite term. They’re granting loans in exchange for ports and land. Most of those loans will probably not be repaid and China will come to collect.
It’s American style policing, meaning they’re looking out for corporate and rich people interests
Honestly, it won’t. Most Americans care about domestic issues (e.g. jobs, inflation, abortion, etc.) over whichever middle east nation is being bombed this year. Until Americans are being killed, it’s not the biggest issue to most voters.

They are Zionists. Put that word up on a platform next to Nazis.
I was banned October 7th for stating that Israel brought it upon themselves with their own actions. And, yes, I did denounce Hamas as evil. Didn’t matter
I feel like many people don’t understand the horrors of modern conflict in dense urban areas,
We know from WWII that bombing civilian centers kills a lot of innocent people. It’s not like anyone should be surprised that Israel’s relentless bombing campaign is murdering thousands.
or have a good understanding that many of Israel actions are actually legal and justified.
Legal how? By their own decision? They’ve committed war crimes and violated military norms. Roughly 1,000 Israelis were killed in a cowardly attack by Hamas, so Israel is “justified” in murdering over 20,000 Palestinians who had nothing to do with the attack?
But unfortunately a number of Israelis also don’t understand that just because civilians die in war it doesn’t mean you can go out of your way to make it happen, and regardless of the enemy you are facing if you can’t toe the line I hope you find yourself at the end of a public rope.
They’ve blocking aid. They’re geared up to move in and build more settlements on stolen Palestinian land. The Israeli public is divided, but there’s plenty of bloodthirsty soldiers sniping children and civilians foaming at the mouth to seize the land. There’s no one holding these people accountable. The IDF lies with every breath and shields their people from justice.
Israel is no better than Russia (and probably worse).
I keep recommending Beau of the Fifth Column to people for balanced US and global political talking points. No one even tries it.
Most right-wing groups hate Muslims more than Jews.
You can’t have a proper ethnic cleansing unless you destroy their culture too.
Sounds a lot like terrorism.
Most of our foreign aid is just so that those countries can purchase US weapons. It’s a gigantic grift by the military industry and politicians profit personally from it.
I would doubt this story if it’s coming from the IDF. They’re sniping children looking for water
I always think of AI like a schizophrenic genius because it suffers from hallucinations and can be both genius and insanity
