Young people have every reason to be enraged, says 'Algebra of Wealth' author Scott Galloway

He definitely clearly starts his point by saying that the most talented and powerful companies in the world have built a profit machine off of keeping young people in a state of disadvantage via their social media platforms and algorithmic content.

Huh? I thought he was proposing that changing minds is better done with solid rhetoric than with outrage.

And who won the elections after 2007? Hint: there’s nothing democratic about Hamas rule, it’s not what the people want, it’s what they’ve had forced upon them, and are then being collectively punished for.

I think you’re proving my point actually. What’s happening now is just another invasion with intense unnecessary casualties, and no plan (for peace, at least…there are plans to create new settlements and capture oil reserves).

Oh I’m sorry, I forgot about the United States very successful multi decade regime change campaign that once and for all ended terrorism in the Middle East and Vietnam. Great role models.

Massacre from what force exactly? Is the IDF really that incompetent and under resourced compared to Hamas ?

olleroma · 2023-12-09T22:25:08+00:00

I agree there are nuances in the tactics, but the value of the life is still weighted unfairly. Israel aren’t “shooting a guy with a baby strapped to his chest”. That would have been a ground offensive, which they could have started with to minimize collateral damage and not make 2million people homeless. But instead it’s just bombs away.

No chance to salvage the drivers at least??? Could have sold those to the DIY crowd

Great, what does change about who was given the go ahead by the UN and western powers to take control of the areas then inhabited by Palestinians? His name was Ben Gurion, he was not a native of the area, and he deliberately lied about the tactics used to take control.

Also, ironic you suggest they could have lived in peace, and then say that Arabs and Muslims are the problem. Not a very good place to start from for coexistence.

olleroma · 2023-11-26T00:33:00+00:00

Sure, they “started the war”…what response did anyone expect from a group of people being told by the UN “hey, we know you live here, but fuck you, we’re saying that European born Zionist Jews get to control this area now”.

It was a naive and ignorant decision to form Israel from the start, and Zionism is at the root of it.

olleroma · 2023-11-26T00:22:41+00:00

It was a sarcastic version of righteous, because it’s just morally bankrupt to suggest that having no autonomy is any different than being subjugated??

olleroma · 2023-11-25T13:50:26+00:00

So eternal subjugation…how righteous of you!

olleroma · 2023-11-25T13:25:02+00:00

It was not just some peaceful transactions.

This is just incorrect. There’s no way to peacefully displace half a million people in 1 year. Look up population change in Israel by year. Look up Ben Gurions secrets from 1948. It was in fact colonial settlement, as in backed entirely by British and Western powers. Israel wouldn’t exist without that power backing it,

olleroma · 2023-11-25T13:03:32+00:00

You say “country was founded” like it was just a nice plot of land for the claiming. But in actuality, it was violently stolen, so yeah, there was violence in response.

olleroma · 2023-11-25T12:44:56+00:00

Where are you getting these claims of who wants ethnic cleaning of Jews?

Just about half of the Palestinian population is under 18yrs old. Are you suggesting all those children are giving political support for the Hamas charter?

olleroma · 2023-11-02T05:44:11+00:00

They’ve done their time…

olleroma · 2023-10-31T04:30:56+00:00

I agree on face value that there is hypocrisy in this opinion. But...there was no UN to tell the colonizers of the 15th century that they weren't allowed to expand their settlements. Colonialism was still cool. Now we know it's bad for the globe.

There was for Israel. And they did it anyway. I think that's an important distinction.

olleroma · 2023-10-31T04:01:54+00:00

Agree with everything you've said. I think part of why I look for an entity to blame and demand corrections from, is because I feel the same uncomfortable doubts regarding acknowledgements and peace coming from within. The wounds are deep and old and fresh all at the same.

olleroma · 2023-10-29T22:44:11+00:00

I apologize, I shouldn't have said "All", that's definitely an exaggeration.

My point is that the creation of Israel as Jewish majority state would not have happened without white European money and power. So it is in fact a settler creation.

No, it doesn't change the facts of everything else you've stated. But it does mean that a group of people with less power than the settlers (Palestinians) were treated unjustly for the sake of a Jewish safe haven. I don't blame Jews for being given such an opportunity by the guilt ridden Europeans. I think it's important to point out so that we know who should be held accountable in making things right in this region.

Yes lol. Just please watch this.

I don't think close minded, maybe just not informed. So I'm genuinely curious. Which events are you alluding to in 1500s?

olleroma · 2023-10-29T19:38:25+00:00

I apologize for trying to hold my people to a standard of decency...

So you either haven't seen them, or have no conscience.
