OK, so keep shitposting into the void then. You've really moved the needle here. You do you, friend.

Yeah, lemmy's full of conservatives.

OK, so why not go to where they are then? You'd probably reach more people that way.

Nobody ever mentions the problems with Biden supporting a genocide, it's basically a complete unknown on this website

I assume you are referencing the people who say they won't vote because Biden supports Israel? These people are vocal on this platform, sure, but they are a small minority in reality.

In my opinion, a more effective use of time would be talking to the huge swath of apolitical nonvoting population. There are many people who do not vote, not because they are "leftist", but because they are under-informed or disinterested in politics.

Why punch down on such small voting block? Why not go after conservatives (the people who actually have power) instead? For every one "leftist" there are 100 conservatives.

They are certainly bigoted, but I think you are vastly underestimating the totality of the IDF's mass surveillance of Palestinians.

Suppose they did know beforehand, had the plans, but didn't take any measures to mitigate the risk.

You don't think that makes them appear incompetent or malicious? If they knew in advance but did nothing, that would be admitting to permitting the deaths of their own civilians. That's not exactly good PR, like you suggest.

They will be fined and nothing will change. Bonus points if the final fine paid is lower than their $2.5 billion settlement offer.

What do you mean? We have our summer intern rewriting the entire Linux kernel in Rust with the help of ChatGPT. They are set to submit the PR by Friday night.

Most already are, or moving towards it. But no, that's not a good thing.

Though, as America is still the global superpower, the debt really isn't as important as you suggest, but of course I wouldn't speak out against slashing defense spending and hiking taxes on wealthy individuals and big business.

Why would they come to America if they thought poorly of it? Immigrating to the US is no trivial matter and requires a large commitment of time and effort. Of course immigrants think highly of the US. Whether or not their perception of America is based in reality is another matter entirely.

I'm sorry, but there is no situation where it is permissible to stand idle as someone suffers an untimely and preventable death.

Even soldiers at war, captured in foreign territory without visas, are entitled to lifesaving care.

OK. So by that logic, let's say you are touring Europe and have a heart attack. The paramedics are in the area and available, but refuse to take you to the hospital. You are left to die on the street.

You think you deserve such foul treatment?
