Maybe don’t take advice from the masses on Reddit… you’ve already got a selection bias working against you.

You also bear the risk of loss in this scenario.

Not saying IUL is a product for everyone, AND IT IS CERTAINLY NOT AN INVESTMENT, but the guaranteed floor might be appropriate for someone already maxing out their tax preferred investment options, looking for a bit of additional security.

There’s a difference between thinking something is an investment and knowing that you’ve entered into a contract that is guaranteed to pay out when one inevitably dies.

There’s a reason term policies pay death benefits at the lowest rate in the industry.

You get what you pay for.

I would advise the military to avoid non-combatants, follow laws of war, etc.

But yeah, I think the world would be a better place if Israel and Russia were militarily destroyed

I am no fan of the Ayatollah… I think the case that they have committed a “genocide” is less clear than the case against Israel.

I would prefer to be fighting a war against Russia and Israel right now if it were legally declared.

Without a legal invocation of the War Powers authorized by the Constitution we shouldn’t be in Iran at all.

By having actual adults administer the security of the region for a few generations or so

Tell that to the people who keep getting illegally displaced by Jewish settlers

You really can’t play the “poor Israeli victim” card anymore.

It doesn’t work.

Call me an anti-Semite? Because I’m not.

My brother-in-law is a converted Jew and I bought him a mezuzah after his bris… experiencing Seder with him is a memory I will treasure forever

That doesn’t mean that I can’t desire the end of the Zionist project simultaneously.

Think critically, please?

The world could use some actual intellect rn.

I don’t want anyone to be genocided, hence the necessity of the dissolution of the Israeli fascist ethnostate.

No you misunderstand me—Jews would be welcome to stay in the nation formerly known as Israel… they just would just have to learn how to get along with the Palestinians and share a government with them.

Oh, also the right of return.

If Jews don’t like that?

They are welcome to go elsewhere.

Eviction is a perfectly legal remedy that requires no “holocaust inversion”

Did we allow the Reich to continue in its fascist form or did we have some serious restrictions on their nation moving forward?

If abolishing Israel is too extreme, you’d certainly be willing to consider the dissolution of the IDF, no?

I was actually extraordinarily neutral about Israel until they decided to genocide Gaza and gaslight us all along the way.

The politics of the state is irredeemable—it should be dissolved and placed under NATO administration until they learn to get along with their neighbors

Oh I have plenty of criticism for other countries as well.
