  • Ah yeah „they are human shields“ while IOF soldiers were filmed literally spanning wounded Palestinians over the hood of their jeeps and also let them walk into tunnels first so that they’d eat any potential booby trap.

    No. They are not using human shields, you have no proof for that, but there’s proof that Israel is doing this systematically. And even if they would be doing that, it would be still murder to kill civilians.

    Israel is a genocidal settler colonialist apartheid entity which needs to be abolished, Palestine needs to be decolonized so that people there can live in peace, equality and safety. None of this is possible while Palestinians are oppressed. This is the solution, Israel extending their genocide to Lebanon on the other hand isn’t.






  • Yeah kinda this, met way too many Economists who are on the economic right and most of the teaching is influenced by Chicago economics.

    I remember when a minimum wage got introduced where I am and my macroeconomics professor was incredibly proud to show how this would cause unemployment. Turned out the minimum wage was so far away from what would be the equilibrium wage that there wasn’t ever an oversupply of workers because the minimum wage would have to be much higher than any politician would ever set it in order to cause unemployment. That is assuming such a thing as the equilibrium wage would actually exist in the real world.
