I mean, it is a complex issue, and there are two sides of it. One of the sides is doing a genocide. The other side makes attacks when they can, killing much smaller numbers. If suddenly the power balance switched, I'm not convinced Hamas wouldn't go for doing a genocide.
What actually matters here is that nobody should be doing genocides, both sides have reason to say, "they started it!", and it's not going to end until both sides can accept that yes, shit happened, bad things were intentionally done by people, and everyone needs to move on, or there will be another round, and another, and another, and another...

"Why don't you just be a gender nonconforming <ASAB>?" trans people get asked, from reasonably well-meaning people who don't Get It. My sibling in Christ, even if we did, look what happens.
"Don't kill queer people," is outsiders imposing their opinion. A constitution that applies to everyone doesn't necessarily follow what locals are going to want to do.
All of these come down to, "we want the right to keep fucking everyone else with externalities while enjoying the benefits of outsourcing those costs," which, no sympathy. Grow up, people.
I mean, it's possible to have a happy, healthy, 24/7 D/s relationship. Not that you're wrong about the rest of it; the people who get into the tradwife thing think "consent" is a dirty word.
I wear a respirator every time I leave the house. If COVID taught us anything, it is that people are more disgusting and less considerate than we had imagined. Meanwhile, COVID is still a thing, long COVID is still a thing, and it's progressive - every time you catch COVID the rates and the damage are worse.
Well, I can't do an arrest. Can you do an arrest? I'm guessing you can neither arrest nor prosecute. If you can, by all means. I look forward to hearing about it. But I don't expect to. I expect that that is not a solution that will be employed. John Oliver tried an extrajudicial offer to Clarence Thomas, and he doesn't seem to have accepted that. So there don't appear to be any remedies within the system, adjacent to the system, or near the system. And somehow, I also doubt I'll hear about you throwing his tea into the harbor.

It felt like it was uncool to have even a touch of racism when Obama got elected and through his presidency. But since the MAGA movement, I feel like subtle and out-right racism has increased. Like a gateway was opened....
I wonder how different things would be now if Roger Stone (still politically involved Roger Stone who was a major player in the last Trump administration and who has a back tattoo of Nixon) hadn't caused the Brooks Brothers Riot and fucked up the counting of votes in Florida allowing the supreme Court (whoch at the time had multiple clerks that Trump put on the court) to declare Bush the winner.
Yeah, it's been all the same people, fucking stuff up, all along.
Depends on where you start. My mental state was pretty fucked before, and while I can't say my self confidence is amazing, you shoulda seen it then. Definitely not for everyone, tho.
