The impact of our incessant growth continuously erodes the environment, wiping out ecosystems for development and depleting our finite materials. Our growth mindset excuses ourselves of the "lesser evil" of renewable energy.

Indeed this isn't great for the environment and I'm again disappointed about this community's shortsightedness in refusing to see it that way.

Let me get this straight: your position on this is that the issue is only worth even talking about when on average, each American experiences a shooting at least once? Or are you just making small talk?

I acknowledge the downvotes without any discourse. If you'd like to see how this actually unfolded, here's some context.

I'm curious to see how proponents of this behaviour would support the other side of the aisle perform similar theatrics.

It's okay, folks, the IDF investigated and found "no civilians were killed."

Burning down the houses of parliament would also suspend voting on the bill. Do the ends justify the means?

I'm eager to see how this community will support the conservatives when they loudly disrupt the debate chamber and silence the Maori members of parliament, now the precedent has been set that this is acceptable behavior.

This comment is unrelated to my position. (Which, for what it's worth, is in favor of the Maori.)

The bill is now suspended; is the strategy to keep performing hakas to continuously silence members of parliament? The risk is that the next time, when the opposition wants to influence a bill, they also create a circus in the debate chamber. That is not a democratic process.

There are many enjoyable things that are not appropriate to do in parliament.

While I personally don't see how performing haka is constructive to include in a debate about the bill, I think it's unrelated to the discussion about what is or is not appropriate in the debating chamber.

Really? Who am I?

It's the toxic cesspool of the anonymous internet. All these communities are the same.

The most ludicrous part of _Idiocracy_ is that the film makers thought the future it depicted would be 500 years away. Turns out, it was 20 years.

Ah yes, the good ol' retirement pyramid scheme. What could possibly go wrong, so long as we create more and more and more and more humans at an infinitely exponential rate?

Now it's up to the justice department to obtain details about shorts made prior to the tariff war and investments made prior to the reconciliation so they can prosecute anybody who performed blatant market manipulation.

Having civilized discourse on a topic is not childish. I'm sorry you feel that way.

If you take an article title directly from a local newspaper and post it verbatim on World News, nobody will know what the fuck it's about and regardless of its content, it won't see the light of day. It's important that the article title is relevant to the audience.

That's not so strange, considering 6 hours ago it was 02:00 CEST.

They also have a dominant position in the global supply chain for raw materials like cobalt and lithium. Good luck developing that EV industry in the US.

This is a terrific comment! Why didn't you provide all that information in the original post? It was so extremely misleading that my skepticism meter maxed out.

Thank you for providing all the background information with sources. Because your original post asserted journalists were murdered, then mentions Aaron Bushnell without any further context, it suggests that IDF murdered him. I believe I've made myself clear in my original comment that this is very misleading. I've also pointed out that the linked content from that original post is not adequately sourced.

Now that you have taken the time to provide more details about the story, I understand that this is just a misunderstanding due missing context in the original post.

Like I said, I'm sympathetic towards the cause. Reading back my comments, I don't believe I "said stupid shit," am "too much in denial" or am "brainwashed by some zionist indoctrination." I encourage everybody to have a healthy dose of skepticism but don't appreciate your hostility and wild accusations.

(I'm interested to learn about that gig to earn money by saying stupid shit, though.)

The links you've provided offer no details from credible sources. The only information you've provided was Aaron Bushnell, which you only now clarified to be "a separate incident" after being called out.

I don't doubt that there's truth in what you're saying and I sympathize with the cause, but surely you can appreciate how your approach constitutes spreading of misinformation.
