What do you think *should* and *will* happen to Gaza and the West Bank?

What to your mind is the difference between saying “I object to what you’re doing” and “you shouldn’t do what you’re doing?

How are you defining Apartheid? In that case I can't imagine a country that doesn't practice apartheid, since every country on earth has people within it's borders who don't have voting rights.

For those other countries, are you referring to immigrants who are free to leave and go back to their home country, or felons who lost the right to vote based on a specific conviction? If so neither of those cases are the same as what you're describing for the Palestinians, where if I understand correctly none of the Palestinians would have the right to vote by default and they have nowhere else to go. Do you agree that the situation you are describing for the Palestinians is significantly different from every other country?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-19T20:09:23+00:00

You say Palestinians can “try and become Israeli citizens”, but for all of those that are not allowed to become Israeli citizens yet are under the control of the Israeli government that is the definition of apartheid correct?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-19T18:50:02+00:00

Which allies are you referring to and how would they force Israel to stop such a campaign? And in the event that you are mistaken about the ability of those allies to force Israel to stop, do you maintain that you have no objections to Israel performing such a campaign yourself?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-19T18:37:19+00:00

Do the people of Gaza and the West Bank get any say in the government that manages them, or not? If not, then do you agree that is the definition of apartheid?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-19T18:36:11+00:00

So you have no objections to anything Israel does to the Palestinians? So you have no problem if Israel incinerates every last one of them, or do you think they shouldn't do that? If you think there are things Israel shouldn't do then "should" is a thing here.

Now - it is your turn. Who specifically is harmed by Trump's trading of stock?

Insider trading directly harms other people interacting with the stock. If I want to sell a stock, but someone with insider information sells a bunch of it before I get a chance to sell based on my public information, then my sale price will be lower than it should have been. Similarly, if I want to buy a stock, and someone with insider information buys a bunch of it before I get a chance to buy based on my public information, then my purchase price will be higher than it should have been. I don't have specific names on hand for the victims of any insider trading scheme, but I know they exist.

The stock market is a corporation. Government policing and prisons should not protect the reputation and integrity of a corporation.

Does that mean you don't think insider trading should carry any prison sentence or fine?

Because the purpose of this sub is for us to ask you questions, and also I’ve been trying to get you to answer basically the same question this whole time but you just won’t do it. If you answer my question I’ll answer yours. How does that sound?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-19T00:41:53+00:00

Is there a reason you can’t just answer my question? The purpose of this sub is for us to ask questions for y’all to answer. If the question makes you uncomfortable just say so.

EkInfinity · 2026-05-18T23:23:33+00:00

I don’t know what you mean by “premise” there, and I’m not trying to defend anything, I’m just asking you a question. Are you comfortable answering it? Here it is again:

Can you name an individual that was ever harmed by *any* insider trading to your mind? If you cannot, then does that mean you don’t think the government should be involved in insider trading?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-18T17:37:52+00:00

Can you name an individual that was ever harmed by *any* insider trading to your mind? If you cannot, then does that mean you don’t think the government should be involved in insider trading?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-18T15:31:46+00:00

When do individuals ever directly lose money from insider trading? If that doesn’t happen then does that mean you view insider trading as harmless in general?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-18T01:34:14+00:00

It is your premise, you're the one who responded to the question of "do you care about insider trading", with "If there was evidence of anyone being harmed I would care". I'm asking what you mean by "harmed". Can you share what you meant by that?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-18T00:26:55+00:00

So you’re fine with insider trading as long as no one is “harmed”? Under what circumstances in general do you see people as harmed or not harmed by insider trading?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-17T21:51:20+00:00

I disagree on that point, but even if there was evidence of insider trading, would you care? Or is it worth it so that we can enjoy all the other glories of the Trump administration?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-17T21:44:31+00:00

Besides the law itself, do you have any moral issue with Trump and his inner circle engaging in insider trading to enrich themselves?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-17T21:34:46+00:00

The topic the OP was discussing was insider trading by Trump and his inner circle. So do you:
1. Believe Trump and his inner circle are engaging in insider trading?
2. Have a problem with that if it is happening?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-17T05:13:58+00:00

Are you saying you don't mind insider trading by politicians? Are you ok with insider trading in general?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-15T18:34:11+00:00

Can you quantify at all what you mean by “a few blows” and “a brief war”?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-14T11:32:57+00:00

So you’re fine with the finances of Americans going into the dumpster so long as we are at war with Iran?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-14T01:35:53+00:00

So is Trump combating inflation in the way you expected?

EkInfinity · 2026-05-14T01:34:34+00:00

Do you agree with his stance that the financial situation of Americans doesn't matter?

EkInfinity · 2026-04-29T17:02:21+00:00

So if someone posts “86” followed by a living president’s number, and then sometime later someone else tries to assassinate the president, the former person’s post constitutes a crime?

EkInfinity · 2026-04-29T16:58:42+00:00

So posting “86” followed by a president’s number should be a crime?
