"It is tradition that athletes must be harmed for our entertainment."
I'm not sure that people have moved on all that much from Roman gladiatorial combat.

The double standard is amazing.
"Yes, but I'm right."
They think their collective belief in the correctness of their group identity is more important than law. This explains why right-wing politics doesn't care about consequences.

Hateful awful people that have no concept of empathy or shame.

I would prefer it if humans overwhelmingly accepted that shooting children was not acceptable. And then, after that, maybe extend it to all innocent people, if possible.

Or even worse, people like you who do everything they can to disparage the only party that might possibly do something good…
"The problem isn't with the politicians and their policies, it's with people disparaging them."
In my 42 year being alive, has social mobility improved? Is the education system allowing more young people to succeed? Have we made strong inroads into ensuring all young people have food and a place to live?
If no, then maybe the problem is not with people being disparaging.

"When Trump says the Dems want to kill everyone, he isn't exactly wrong. That would reduce crime to zero, and also lead to a total collapse in the votes for the Republican party..."
That's the same structure as your argument. Seems hyperbolic, yes?

Ah, so I can be surprised about the reason why I like pooping in the morning. At least until I get paid for doing it. Or elected.

"We spent six years investigating why a business would want to overcharge customers in order to make more money. What we found shocked us, because businesses were spending that money on finding way to make the world worse."

This is expecially Racist given that there are many Jews who are openly critical of Israel, its actions and even its existence
Indeed. Judaism is very clearly not monolithic, perhaps particularly because rabbis have the freedom to think critically.

I would prefer a society which leaves gender expression to the individual, without demanding people to fit arbitrary (and, therefore, changing) cultural norms.

One possible reason from many is that it's fun to not be human because humans aren't so great to each other. Look into the link between autism and identifying as non-human (there are multiple ways of doing so).
Signed, an autistic being who does not feel emotionally attached to being a human, but is not a furry.

“There is nothing antisemitic about fighting for people’s right to live,” says Jewish Voice for Peace organizer Elena Stein, who on Monday joined hundreds of protesters arrested to block entrances to the New York Stock Exchange.
An excellent point.

I don't know what message I can possible get from this repression aside from "Stop being against killing brown people, because the state carrying out those killings gives us money."
> The belief that Israel’s actions amount to apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide are “worthy of respect in a democratic society”, an employment tribunal has concluded in a landmark decision.
Anti-Semitic United Statesians in shambles?
> First Sea Lord Adm Sir Ben Key said he was “truly sorry” to the women who had suffered “misogyny, bullying and other unacceptable behaviours” while serving their country. “We must be better than this and do better than we have,” he said.

> *Carol Higgins was 15 when she first reported her father’s abuse to the police. They told her he wouldn’t be charged. But she refused to let it rest until he finally stood trial* > Higgins gave a 17-page statement, signed it and was given a painful internal examination. At the end of it, she was informed that Appleyard would not be charged. Apparently, the case wasn’t strong enough. There was no forensic evidence. The police told her that because her brother, who was 14, was a minor, his account was inadmissible. They said that, should the case reach court, her name and sexual history would be dragged through the mud. Could she handle it? Higgins said she couldn’t. > [...] > In January 2019, after more pushing by Higgins, who refused to let it rest, Appleyard finally stood trial. It took the jury less than two hours of deliberation to find him guilty of 15 sexual offences against her, including rape and sexual assault. He was sentenced to 20 years. Earlier this year, Higgins also received £15,000 compensation and a public apology from West Yorkshire police, acknowledging that her “extremely serious and truthful allegations took too long to come to justice”.
> Temperatures above 50C used to be a rarity confined to two or three global hotspots, but the World Meteorological Organization noted that at least 10 countries have reported this level of searing heat in the past year: the US, Mexico, Morocco, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, Pakistan, India and China. > In Iran, the heat index – a measure that also includes humidity – has come perilously close to 60C, far above the level considered safe for humans. > Heatwaves are now commonplace elsewhere, killing the most vulnerable, worsening inequality and threatening the wellbeing of future generations. Unicef calculates a quarter of the world’s children are already exposed to frequent heatwaves, and this will rise to almost 100% by mid-century.
