Not really sure what to put here…I usually put relevant excerpts, but that got this post deleted for doing that

    The same type of argument can also be made about Israel and Hamas. Yeah there is an enormous point to be made for the Palestinians, a point that should have been fixed like 60-80 decades ago, but that doesn’t take away that Hamas is a horrible organization with horrible people that (as much as I hate death penalties) shoud all be lined up to a wall and shot to make the world a little better. Yes, same should be said about a number of Israeli politicians.

    Please keep in mind that it’s possible for both sides to be wrong, and that it’s also possible to be part wrong and part right. Real life isn’t that black and white.

      I thought about that analogy, but also thought about climate protestors shutting down traffic and getting arrested for that.

      I don’t judge people who eat meat, but I absolutely think factory farming as it exists in the USA is a barbaric system that is in desperate need of reform.

        It is, I doubt anyone would disagree with that and the only reason it’s so bad is money. Should be easily fixed with laws but if your politicians are in the pockets of company owners, that becomes difficult.
