This post was brought to you by the IDF, remember if you don't agree with us you're as bad as Nazis.


so did OP not mean Jews or are we saying that anyone inferring that someone is anti semitic is working for the IDF?


It actually is, capitalism wants infinite growth, if that's not greed then I shudder to think what is.


Definitely not as evil and inexcusable as the genocide they've been perpetrating for the last 70 or so years.


You seem to have your years wrong, the genocide the Arabs have been perpetrating against the Jews includes events like attacks against Jewish settlements at 1886, making their evil and inexcusable genocide much longer than 70 years.


Oh no, not the pirated software!!


Yeah, which is why they're complying with India's request for censorship and not fighting back... It's almost as if they're okay with working with authoritarian governments but don't give a shit if the nation in question is left leaning or not run by a fascist demagogue.

Because believe it or not the alternatives are worse and when they aren't they're paid, and people like their free stuff.


Exa sounds stupid, but at least it makes sense.


Considering Hamas' plan all along was to martyrize the Gaza population by feeding it to the lions, subsequently sabotaging Israel's relations with its neighbors and the global community, it does make sense they decided to provoke a war during Biden's term, a very outspoken zionist.


Clearly not enough, otherwise they'd do something about it.


I think it’ll happen soon. If it doesn’t happen soon with the increasing numbers of unions and labor strikes, it’ll happen when boomers die off and the voting demographic shifts left dramatically.


You seem to think that evolution is both an intelligent and controllable process. It isn't.


It literally is though. Sexual selection, emphasis on selection, is conscious. You choose half the genes of your descendants. Unless there's only one mating option. You also choose where you hang, and what you eat, which drives adaptations to that environment.


You might feel like you have conscious control over the process of acting on your preferences to select the candidate for the randomish splicing of the genes of your partner's parents and your own parents.

Did you choose your preferences, though?


Yes! I've consciously decided to learn to like many things in life that I used to hate, because they are good for me. I see no reason to assume animals aren't capable of the same. It just takes time.


How does this pattern of thought not lead to eugenics?


"A set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population"?

That just describes sexual selection in general. Of course you think with your big head when choosing a mate, not the small one that's easily fooled.

You make it sound like choosing good genes for your offspring is evil or something.
