I have never seen the media in general push back so hard on the israeli propaganda as they are now Again not really, you’re more just noticing it now. It’s sorta always been the case. But then something else will happen and people will forget. Though this time I guess the change is Israel being way more overt with it now. Though Biden still defending them is likely to lead to another Trump term. ---

Yes biden is being taken to the cleaners for his support of this genocide. Palestinian question is not going away. Israels actions here has really opened up the eyes of many people to what it really is - an apartheid colonial settler state and not as the only democracy in the middle east most moral army in the world garbage israel wants the world to believe ---

I think progress is sophistication. That is, precise and deep reflections about reality, division of labor, complex government with different powers balancing each other, precise and deep understanding and sharing of emotions and thoughts between individuals, precise and deep understanding and acceptation of emotions and thoughts in each individual, etc. The contrary of sophistication, unsosphistication, leads to prejudices, unnecessary violence and despotism. ---
