Ah, okay.

Thanks!

Ah, okay.

I am having trouble understanding the two types of people.

Is it pro/con trump people? MAGA vs. Blue MAGA?

I don’t think NSFW is required.

Why do you think it was removed? No explaination?

Reminds me of tribalism talks.

• Tribal Thinking

  • https://conversational-leadership.net/tribal-thinking/
  • The meaning of the word tribe
  • Sticking to tribal beliefs
  • Politically motivated reasoning
  • 1, Skincare experiment
  • 2. Gun-control Experiment
  • A big surprise
  • Bottom line

    • “This experiment demonstrates that our political pre-dispositions can strongly influence our numerical reasoning regardless of our political persuasion.”

• Tribalism: How to Be Part of the Solution, Not the Problem

  • Whether it’s race, religion, or politics, tribalism threatens all we hold dear. [July 31, 2022| John G. Cottone Ph.D. The Cube]

    • https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-cube/202207/tribalism-how-be-part-the-solution-not-the-problem

    • To keep our tribalist impulses in check, I believe we must regularly ask ourselves difficult questions:

      • Do I know how to recognize the propaganda of my own tribe, and resist it when I see it?

      • Do I recognize that every event can be viewed from multiple perspectives and that my tribe’s perspective is just one of many?

      • Do I pursue multiple perspectives on important issues with intellectual honesty — or do I only solicit my own tribe’s political perspective?

      • Do I call out members of my own tribe for bad behavior as often as I call out members of rival tribes — or do I rationalize and ignore their transgressions?

      • Do I have compassion for everyone on the road of truth, even those who are walking today where I walked yesterday?

Yes, FBI and the other agencies do have a lot of influece in everthing to do with gov’t/media.

Aaron Maté and Glenn Greenwald and some others report on FBI.

Matt Taibbi and twitter files also showed how social media companies and gov’t work together.

If you want something done right, do it yourself?

Oh, okay.

I think I understand a bit of what you are saying.

Thanks!

Well, IMO the coups did what was required, same in latin america.

It stopped the political party that was going to rule and chaos would ensue.

Due to party plans of interfering with US corporations and allies.

State polls show he is tied or winning in some cases over biden.

When certain two unnamed 3rd party people are included, numbers shift in an interesting way.

For biden to win, polling needs to be couple points higher, not just tied.

One year out, so… will be interesting to see how well polling works this time around.

How did it end?

The suspense is killing me!

Not too sure on that, US has many ways to force cease fires as good as starting coups.

I think if we had a president and congress that wanted it done, it would be done.

Paywall, I don’t think [web archive org] link is allowed to be posted, when looking at the list of rules…

The Public Defender’s Office, an independent arm of the Justice Ministry, said on Thursday that its lawyers would not represent the Oct. 7 defendants, arguing that the existing legal process for terrorist cases was ill-suited to this situation. It was a significant declaration for an agency created to defend society’s most disfavored, including indigent criminal defendants and people accused of terrorism.

“Much more needs to be done to protect civilians and to make sure that humanitarian assistance reaches them,” Mr. Blinken told reporters in New Delhi after a diplomatic tour through Middle Eastern and Asian nations. “Far too many Palestinians have been killed. Far too many have suffered these past weeks. And we want to do everything possible to prevent harm to them and to maximize the assistance that gets to them.”

Hamas and Israel are negotiating two hostage release proposals, one involving a small number of people and one that could involve 100 or more civilians being held in Gaza, according to officials briefed on the talks.

“We have very serious concerns that these amount to disproportionate attacks in breach of international humanitarian law,” said Volker Türk, the U.N.’s high commissioner for human rights. He cited Israeli strikes on six locations in Gaza, including Jabaliya, Gaza City and Khan Younis.

Israeli police detained five prominent Arab Israeli politicians for several hours on Thursday, including former lawmakers, as they prepared to hold a vigil in the city of Nazareth to protest Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, two Israeli civic associations said. The groups denounced the action, saying it constituted suppression of free speech.

Construction workers from India should not be used to replace Palestinian workers in Israel, said major Indian trade unions in a joint statement issued on Thursday, 9 November. The signed statement was released on behalf of Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) , All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC) and even BJP-affiliated Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS) among others.

Stating that Indian trade unions must rise in solidarity with Palestine and reject the “disastrous” idea, the central trade unions have called upon the Indian government to scrap the agreement signed in May 2023, during Israeli foreign minister Eli Cohen’s visit, to send 42,000 workers to Israel.

The Israeli construction industry also employs Chinese and Moroccan workers, but is feeling the absence of the large Palestinian workforce. Israel has therefore also approached China and Moldova for workers, but in the wake of Beijing’s hard line on the Israel–Palestine conflict, it is doubtful whether more Chinese workers would come to Israel.

Great talks and questions:

I don’t see it as sad.

Just social media/forum talks with some peeps.

All is good, have a great day!

Not sure how usernames determine everthing about someone.

Viewpoints will not always align with your prefered way of thinking.

It is good to learn to talk with people that are different from what you think, so as to help when talking with others.

Hope you have a great day!

That is not how the world works.

Have a great day!

At the end of the day, yes.
