I don't know if anyone else has seen the Chinese Consulate in SF, but it's not exactly something you can hit by accident.

In China, these problems are solvable by the government stepping in. China's healthcare system isn't working, but it's a system that has a clear path towards reform.
In the US, these problems are unsolvable because the private hospitals will lobby the government to look the other way.
Watch as they regulate the innovation out of AI without regulating the exploitation out of AI
Israel isn't exactly operating with improvised explosives. Israel is one of the most well-funded militaries in the region and has enough Western guided munitions to fend off all their neighbours.
Either Western munitions are absolute garbage or Israel is going "oopsie doopsie I totally didn't see those civilians!"
Really makes you think about why Hamas is so radicalized, doesn't it? It's not like you can pull a Muslim out of a hat and radicalize them. People in a stable, healthy, and fair socioeconomic position do not see violence as an answer. People who live under constant oppression, inequality, and fear do.
Austerity measures don't work.
Unionization is essential for maintaining and protecting workers' rights.
Brazil's Yanomami People are Facing Another Colonialist Threat - This Time From Ultra Processed Food
Everyone's facing a threat from ultra-processed food lol
In case anyone wondered why Israel would ignore Egyptian warnings of an imminent attack, this is why.
War is good for business.
I can't think of a single successful revolution that didn't end up with significant civilian casualties. Revolutions only arise because of extreme discontent among a population about their socioeconomic position.
Remember the Reign of Terror in France? Washington's campaign against the Iroquois in America? Revolution is bloody and revolution leads to civilian casualties, but at its core it's caused by systematic oppression by the government and inaction on behalf of the population.
By the way, Gazans have tried peaceful protest. It got thousands of people shot.
I too enjoy conflating anti-Zionism with antisemitism. Both Jews and Palestinians are semites, dumbass.
