John Brown. The man stood up for what was right, even at the cost of his own life.

A or (A or B) reduces to A or B, not A

The documentary Stargate already answered this question

Extremely rich coming from a British person. Not that they’re wrong.

As a software engineer I’m inclined to agree

My cat would die in seconds if I let him outside. He’s too dumb to live.

They were changed from African pygmies in later versions of the book. You can still find early copies which describe them explicitly as such:

Willy Wonka tamped down speculation that he made them of chocolate. “They are real people! They are some of my workers!” He advised the group that these tiny black people had been “Imported direct from Africa!” They belonged to “a tribe of tiny miniature pygmies known as Oompa-Loompas.

The average age in the Gaza Strip is 18. Do you think that might have anything to do with Hamas not acting “grown up”? What do you expect out of one million teenagers you locked in a cell?

Conflating Israel and Jewishness is antisemitic, especially when Israel is abusive to Jewish populations they don’t like, like the mizrahim and the Beta Israel.

While I agree with you, you must recognize this is also true of almost every nation. Native American rights remain a universally ignored issue in American discourse, for example.

Capitalism. You mean capitalism. Biden is still subsidizing oil and endorsing the construction of new wells. Voting blue won’t save you.

‘Not being into politics’ is the most ridiculous position you can possibly take.
