Israel is purging the land it wants to take, which is contained within the "borders" of what Israel considers its own land, whose citizens are restricted by the Israeli military, socially and economically.

Yeah, civilians die. But Israel targets civilians, not combatants.

> you get "fiery but mostly peaceful" campus protests

oh no, not students checks notes exercising their rights.

> every BBC interviewer asking you in the perfectly aggrieved RP tones why you hate children so much

dude you're literally commenting in a thread about how the BBC is complicit in preventing coverage of Israeli crimes because of conflicts of interest.

That study didn't "measure bias in tech":

"Here we report five hiring experiments in which faculty evaluated hypothetical female and male applicants, using systematically varied profiles disguising identical scholarship, for assistant professorships in biology, engineering, economics, and psychology."

It was the beginning of a movement which affects all workers in the US today, so... 100%.

There were plenty of worker revolts in the 19th century which laid the groundwork for the modern labor movement.

You should maybe read about the history of the US labor movement to understand how and why we have good working conditions: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/themine...

> People advocating for their interests isn't warfare.

When those interests come at the expense/lives of other people, it is [1] [2].

> I assure you there are virtually no rich people cackling, monocles and cigars in place, over the fate of the poor.

Correct, their theatrics are even dumber than that [3].

the "tech industry" is somehow totally isolated and completely different from all other types of labor in the history of the united states? how?

here's an answer i gave to this question downstream: "the Riot Games union is bargaining for better pay and less brutal working hours. at Blizzard they did employee walkouts, leading to better pay and changes in work culture. at Kickstarter they negotiated better remote work policies and reduction of discriminatory actions."

love those flying goalposts. i guess "tech" is different enough from other kinds of labor that it's special? ok:

IFPTE, UAW, CWA (which just recently welcomed workers in the video game industry: https://cwa-union.org/news/releases/video-game-workers-launc...)

edit: Alphabet Workers Union under CWA, Riot Games under UAW, Tech Workers Coalition

i don't know, probably the same as his end goal with doing nazi salutes. we want the same things for Elon that he wants for us. hitting a billionaire's wealth and influence is the only way us commoners have of "voting him out".

oh no, not the moderates who checks notes stand up for nothing and no one except themselves and overwhelmingly align with right wing politics. what's the moderate position on Trump/Musk, that we should accept a little bit of authoritarianism to make the government more efficient?

that coincides with industrialization and the subsequent rise of trade unions. the alternative was violence against capital.

> It is well established that Hezbollah shot the missile. They bragged about it in their Telegram channels

> I don't read the Hezbollah channels

ok... [1]

> The only reason to sow doubt is to protect these monsters.

i personally dispute misinformation because, well, it's misinformation and it's used by state actors to escalate violence. [2]

[1] "Hezbollah, the most powerful paramilitary and political force in Lebanon, was quick to say it was not behind the attack, a rare denial from a group that normally claims every attack launched."

[2] "With Israel vowing retaliation for what was the highest civilian death toll in Israel-held territory since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel, diplomats rushed to prevent an escalation that could spiral into an all-out war after months of exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah over the Lebanese-Israeli border."
