That quote from Kashyap lacks the context to be sensibly included. The guys saying that it's the retailers fault for pricing the clothes too low - because the middlemen suppliers then can't afford to pay better.
But they're likely both just as culpable for slave wages, so...
I COULDN'T HEAR THEM, BROTHER. WHAT DID THEY SAY?
I'm drunk and don't know what to believe.
IT'S ALWAYS SKELETON O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE BROTHER!
Whilst fair criticism, better public transport and national high speed rail is a good idea. Tory mismanagement is a different problem.
I feel like I remember reading about a hypothesised digital voting system where every voter can either vote for themselves, or pass their vote to a representative, that can in turn pass their own and any collected votes to another representative. But each voter can withdraw their vote from a representative at any time.
So you could still have a representative body, which I think is important for getting work done. But citizens are far more empowered; if you disagree with your elected representative over a particular issue, you can rescind your vote from them temporarily and vote directly on the issue yourself.
You seem to be making points which don't apply to me.
Even the Russians had far greater precision than this when attacking Ukraine. ^^^[citation ^^^desperately ^^^needed]
... considering Russian doctrine is literally flatten the area with artillery, versus IDF precision airstrikes which the Russians were completely unable to do due to lack of air superiority let alone supremacy.
Carpet bombing is the complete and indiscriminate bombing of an area. I've seen no evidence of this. I have seen evidence - e.g. the above article as an excellent one - if precision bombing of multiple buildings across a wide area, whilst leaving neighbouring buildings relatively untouched.
I am not here to defend the IDF or the Israeli State, but using such obvious inaccuracies makes it an uphill struggle to appropriately criticise their real actions.
Your latter two points though I agree with broadly, though I don't doubt Hamas does attempt to stop civilians from leaving conflict zones.
Both Hamas and the Israeli State are responsible for propogating this mess and both continue to try to do so, whilst the world watches and argues about who is the most responsible / who deserves support. Neither side gives a flying fuck about Palestinian or Israeli innocents, at least above and beyond that where they serve the goal of optics and support for wiping out the other side.
Because I'm here to have constructive discussions? IDGAF about votes; I, unfortunately, give a fuck about having to deal with people like you and the above.
See, on one hand that seems like a good idea, but whilst people can have reprehensible views on one topic they might also have reasonable contributions for another.
Does that mean if I pick #9 twice I can run twice as fast as Albert Einstein?
