Totally unheard of! Bombing cities?! Don't they know innocent people live there? Like putting "strategic targets" in densely population centers? It's like Isreal is using its people as human shields. Israeli people should leave those areas if they don't want to be caught up in the fighting.

Blow back implies it's the person who (UN sanctioned terrorist Isreal and America) is the aggressor hurts themselves by harming others.

That's not the message or point I was making. I'm not blaming the victims. Just read my other replies.

That's what they said 100 years ago and it got a little bit better but it's far worse than even those people would have thought. If you think those in power won't drive everyone of a cliff to make a buck you are in for a surprise. Wealthy people are literally planning to escape earth over giving up any money or power. I'm not doom spiraling I just want more people to wake up and stand up for their fellow humans before it's too late.

That's comparing apples to oranges. Apple has been caught doing planned obsolescence multiple times. And many other tech companies as well. I'm proposing more regulations to ensure that none essential products have longer service life and replacements are a substantial jump in performance and quality to justify the raw materials being used. Also with the rapid conglomeration of companies the allusion of choice is worrying. Also slowing down the releases would allow more equitable distribution of money and resources. Just look up the numbers behind electronic waste alone. Yes in the perfect world people would only get a new device when needed. But that's not reality. I'm not talking about a communist utopia or anything but the question is should humanity be trowing so much resources and energy behind millions of new iphones every year? These are serious decisions we need to have because the alternative is literally the destruction of the human race as we know it. Apple makes a new phone every year because imaginary line on graph must go up. But should we measure a company's success that way? The environment, the poor people that mine the resources, and assemble the phones say no.

I'm not arguing about your point. Of course no one is forcing anyone to buy anything. But they do. On a literal earth destroying scale. Our whole global economy is based on how much useless shit and excess shit we can consume. Rather than using our resources to solve our problems, we are allowing literally metric tons of materials to go into new iPhones every year. (not just iPhones but most tech in general and nearly every none essential product) I'm not taking about individuals changing habits. That'll get us no where. We need smart resource management and tech not to be allowed to shovel the same shit with small improvements, while lobbying to turn everyone into blind consumers. So what if we have to wait 3/5/7 years for a new phone? No one is going to die. But if we don't slow things, just look at north Carolina. Look at the coral reefs. Look at the copper mines in the Congo.

And whatever blindfolded bigotry is in these areas they are justifying with their actions. Do they think someone who just had their lives, friends and family blown up or stolen by Israel is going to think rationally? I'd tell you what I'd do in the Palestinians shoes but it'll probably get me on a FBI watch list.

WW3 is the something worse. I don't see how this goes any other way. China and Russia will back Arab nations to stick it to the US if our troops get involved. (we just sent 10k troops to the region as "peace keepers and advisors" totally won't backfire like very other time) We are moving away from the proxy War phases and straight into full on global war.

Why buy a phone with maybe 10% improvements from the last model? Or should be illegal for a company to release a new product that is not substantially (greater than 51%) different/better than it's predecessor. The waste is unreal

Are you okay? Go touch grass

Unchecked gun violence by a population against itself

Well if you don't realize in today's world you are either useful in a way dictated by vastly wealther people or you starve. So in a world with literally zero global compassion (meaning those in power who are in charge of keeping us safe) will cast you aside for an extra buck. If automation and innovation ment the emancipation of all humans to chase their passions, yes I'm all for it. But it's not. The change is to fire the workers to increase profits. That doesn't help anybody.

Ya let's wait until our oppressors are ready before fighting back. We wouldn't want to upset anybody

Lol has Lebanon declared war? Has Israel? Sounds like goal post moving to ignore the facts. Isreal is a Rogue nation backed by zionest, Christian nationalist, and the oligarchy. There's no rational argument where killing 300 people to kill one man is acceptable.

Do you know what blow back is? You don't just kill tens of thousands of innocent people, and displace/starve millions of people without creating more terrorists. Isreal told us what Hamas and Hezbollah wanted in negotiations. Stop the occupation, embargo, and settlements in Gaza and the west bank and return all land stolen in those areas. Isreal said no. Does that sound responsible for Isreal? No because they don't want peace. They want the land and will kill everyone currently living on it. Top officials in the Israeli government has publicly said that's what they want, but we're still having this fucking discussion?! Nah fam, this is full on genicide. Do you honestly think the middle east will be more peaceful if Israel gets everything they want? Buckle up buckaroo, next stop WW3.

This will lead to WW3. Plus the blow back will be endless. You can't murder tens of thousands of people, and displace and starve millions with out creating terrorists.

True but for self preservation is be shocked if the Supreme Court takes it up. Reports are that they (the Supreme Court) are in full blown panic over their lost and sinking reputation. Looking at the leaks that for Trump's immunity case and the roe v wade overturning. It's chaos in the court and I'll bet anything one conservative justice will retire in Harris wins and two will retire if Trump wins.

The funniest thing about this is Trump won't stop grifting them. Every month is something new. Trump trading cards. Trump shoes. Trump NFTs. Like the moment Harris tries to sale me shoes, I'm out. But these people can't afford medical care because their Republican state government cut their benefits, so now they are going to send money to a guy who is selling NFTs... Enough said.

The forced birthers don't have a credible respond to the judges decision. The judge words are cold stone facts about this issue. Anyone who thinks they can tell women what to do and not do with their bodies either are low level religious nut jobs, middle level politicians trying to make a buck, or high level oligarchs that need a poor, unhealthy, uneducated, and subservient population. None of those people should be in charge of a toaster oven let alone deciding on what happens to someone else's body.

They need extra reasons to think critically. There are still those that think George Floyd deserved to be killed on the street because of his criminal past and drug addiction. Or the recent executions of known innocent black men. Most white southerns and Republicans still like a good old lynching.
