for every Hamas combatant eliminated, approximately 1.5 civilians have been tragically killed

They're claiming that a full 40% of the 40,000+ deaths so far were combatants. What a coincidence that it's almost exactly the percentage you'd get if you counted every "military aged male" as a combatant.

CW: RapeI think you could argue that these people view rape not as a violation of autonomy but as property damage. Because they view their children as their property and women who have sex outside of marriage to be "damaged", which is why they force victims of rape to marry the rapist to "fix" the damage. It also explains why they get whipped up in a murderous rage by cases of rape (supposedly) carried out by non-white or queer people, since they view interracial/queer marriage to be even more shameful, so they cannot "fix" the damage. Whereas when it's carried out by a "respectable" white man they can just cover it up.

My side of history is William F. Buckley ... Martin Luther King

In the 1950s and early 1960s, Buckley opposed federal civil rights legislation and expressed support for continued racial segregation in the South
(...)
Buckley visited South Africa in the 1960s on several paid fact-finding missions in which he distributed publications that supported the South African government's policy of apartheid.

You think that is good when it's used to accomplish good things? But have you considered that could also be used by people who want to accomplish bad things?

They made Civ IV too political for him

There are too many instances of capitalist delusions to count, but the fact that he thinks that the stupid line city is the model for an ideal society has got to be the cherry on top.

Political system is explicitly undemocratic, every political institution is biased in favor of the right, both major political parties refuse to support popular legislation that would improve people's lives

"Why don't Americans trust their institutions?"

The utility calculation is dead simple

I want to know what kind of backup plans these people have in mind, if it really is so important that Trump does not become president again. I'm just saying, if enough people refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of injust laws (y'know, like the explicitly undemocratic ones which let Trump win last time) and carry out disruptive protests (at the bare minimum) against it, it becomes harder for that law to stay intact. Which is kind of important, since there hasn't been much success in getting rid of terrible, unpopular laws through the "proper" channels. It doesn't even interfere with voting, so it's not like they have an excuse to not plan for that.
