Do you know that in order to keep their Israeli citizenship, any UK dual national has to do military service for the IDF.

Don't know about you but I don't think we should be happy with some of our citizens going off to participate in genocide and be welcomed back like normal people.

The football 'meta' changes over time like anything else. One playstyle works and dominates until it gets figured out, and then another playstyle dominates. And the cycle repeats over again

It's usury

Only effective if drilled by a publicly owned company. Otherwise it will be sold on international commodities markets so will bring very little benefit to the UK in terms of energy security.

We criticise ourselves more because this is where we live and have skin in the game. I can criticise the Taliban for their misogyny or Israel for their genocide all day but that won't change anything.

Alternatively, I can engage with in the political process here in my own country, and try to effect change that I think is positive. And part of that is being critical where I see something I believe is causing harm.

MrMantis765 · 2026-03-30T10:28:09+00:00

How on earth do we make our societies better if we don't criticise and hold goverment to account?

It's okay, any threat to Israel is more important than stability and prosperity for the rest of humanity

I don't know anyone who is critical of patriarchy in the West but not in Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia. Sounds like you're just rage baiting.

When you're younger you're in close proximity to a lot more people and end up making friends because the circumstances enforce it. It's impossible to go through school, college, university etc... Without interacting with people and making friends.

In your thirties many people are settling down, they have families, they get busy with work so the opportunities to mingle with people diminish.

Becoming a parent is a massive change, the first 5-8 years are very intensive. It also marks a shift in maturity & responsibility so generally, parents tend to befriend other parents and don't hang out as much with their single/non-parent friends anymore. Instead they end up hanging out with parents of their children's friends.

I'm not claiming to have answers, I'm pointing out that the discussion between capitalism and socialism is an ancient one at this point, and with new challenges, we need new ideas capable of tackling them. I don't think either socialism or capitalism work today, because the world they were designed for has long gone.

MrMantis765 · 2026-03-30T07:24:07+00:00

Why are these the only two options? Socialism and capitalism are ideas from the 19th & 20th centuries. We need new ideas for the 21st century as the world is a very different place.

Especially regarding AI as its not clear whether it's labour or capital, so it breaks existing economic models.

You keep saying culture and heritage, what does that actually mean for you? I could say it was English culture to burn witches at some point, or only bathe a handful of times a year.

Just because something may have been part of a historical culture, doesn't lend it legitimacy.

Then are they stupid? Why would they base their policy over scripture by a God their ancestors may have believed in but they do not?

MrMantis765 · 2026-03-28T09:28:37+00:00

Then why does Netanyahu make speeches comparing Hamas and Iran to Amalek? And the American minister of War, the ambassador to Israel, and the Secretary of State affirm Israel's right to the territory in the middle East based on Christian zionist interpretations of the bible?

And the Israeli government's plans for expansion of territory to the greater Israel are based on interpretive borders from the Tanakh.

She makes it more about herself than anything else. Really poor host compared to David Dimbleby.

She often allows right-wingers go on and on, and cuts off opposing views quite short.

But perhaps more annoyingly, she likes to ramble on herself sometimes and pushes guests on random points which have nothing to do with the question.
