"Once you've been to Gaza, you'll never stop wanting to beat Benjamin Netanyahu to death with your bare hands."

  • I seek it. I'm one side in this too. There are many Palestinians and many Israelis who just want to have normal lives and full human rights for themselves and others.

    I think you then might want to learn more about current Palestine, which is much more diverse than you describe.

  • Israel is occupying Palestinian land.... we want to be free of occuaption. Not sure why you bring Islam into this since Palestinian society is quite diverse and encompasses many different perspectives and religions. I myself am a Palestinian atheist.

    My suggestion is: one democratic state of Palestine for Jews, Muslims, Christians, whenever the fuck lives there. Democratic voting, a President.

    "final solution" is a now used by Israeli officials to describe Gaza so rofl this is not even a serious convo now. You are just gaslighting and talking to a person in your head.

  • Hamas says guard who killed Israeli hostage acted 'in revenge' against group's instructions

  • I think there probably were some? Pretty sure some released hostages described abuse and sexual assault.

    I hate Hamas, as a Palestinian, but Hamas fighters are not demons... they are not angels either.

  • Keep in mind it's always possible that they do this partly for PR. But at least they were transparent, even if they did in to look good. After all, next to Israel, anyone would look good.

  • I seriously think this is a bad way to go about life, generalizing in general. Makes you see things in black and white. I realize this in itself is a generalization but I think you get the point.

  • On some level I like to believe many people think of it as a disqualifying issue but recognize that this is a bad time and a bad system to disqualify anyone.

    That is entirely the fault of the faulty democratic system. Voters like to think they have the power but they don't have much in America. They can't even all swing to a third candidate and vote for them.

  • Yeah sure but my point is again: you cannot generalize the party as a whole at this time. You can't just call any difference in opinion within the party as a "personal stand". It's not personal, it's a political statement.

  • Onset of decline sounds good but how were these studies able to tell where it starts if they were not adequate at testing it (because your claim is we cannot test it so easily so we should rely on the mean age provided by studies that test it... sounds like going in a circle to me)?

    So why not have cognitive tests and a committee of experts. It's the President we are talking about. Surely science can whip something up other than "70 BBAAAAAD, 50 OKAAAY". You could be 35 with mental illnesses that affect your job. You could be 50 and a heavy drinker. Why stop at the age limit if we can disqualify unqualified candidates elsehow? Why use the "safer" dumbass cutoff limit when we can use the "more fair" approach of testing people individually? Why not use the cutoff limit to say "during these years, we test the President even more on cognition"?

    But yeah I agree, nothing works if people won't implement it. And whose fault is that?

  • I replied to someone else about the same thing. Remove it and replace it with cognitive tests.

  • I think those should also be removed. I think being a suitable candidate for presidency means being cognitively fit and have good campaigning and debates. At this 70 or 80 cutoff we lose people like Bernie and I'm sure we are losing out on a lot of potentially good candidates younger than 35.

  • I never said age doesn't matter. All I said is that some effects that come with aging are problematic and since all people age differently, they should be judged on their own basis. We have tests for cognitive decline... no need to use stupid methods like picking an age and drawing a line.

  • The agists did.

    Ps. I am extremely sad to see left leaning progressives go all bananas about sexism and racism but just embracing ageism as if that is somehow acceptbale.

    Saying that age is an indicator of cognitive decline is not ageist. Saying things like "this person is TOO OLD and TOO FARTY to be president" is. This is what my problem here is with.

    Saying a President cannot be above 80 is like saying women should not be firefighters (or some other similar sexist nonsense). Neither people can control their age or gender, but they sure as fuck can prove themselves as competent in a certain field and this is what we should be judging.

    We're not in the fucking bronze age. No need to draw lines in sand and say "80 BAAAAD". PLEASE. Let's just be a tadfuck more sophisticated than that. Millions of years of evolution, we can be a fair fucking society can't we?

  • I can't see how one can set any kind of hard line when it's clear that exceptions are plently. We have better healthcare and will love longer. Better get used to this.

  • Admit? People get weird when they age? Any studies to back this up at all? I live in Sweden where a large portion of the population is quite old. You have those who need care, and you have those who are just fine (like anyone in any age group). I'm surprised to see this kind of agesim BS on Lemmy tbh. Are we really stupid enough to judge the competence of a person based on how many times we rotated the sun? Please. There is plenty to hate about Trump. The passing of time is not one of them.

    P.S: I think your attitude sucks and I hope that when/if you hit 80, you have people around you that don't have this attitude so they don't bin you into early grave my metaphorically killing you before you are dead.

  • I resent the idea of judging people by their age, whether Biden or Trump. You can reach 80 and be fine. The problems with Biden and Trump are not their age but their attitude and cognitive abilities (which correlates with age but you know what they say about correlation).

    I agree with everything else.

    Let's stop this fucked up ageism. It is not his age. It's his 34 (or however many) felonies.
