It was a joke about Jewish space lasers. I apologize to anyone I alarmed or offended.
Yeah, it's gotta be microwave, but only if it's made and operated by jewish people
Necessary clean energy. Asked and answered.
Easier travel is definitely a great reason to increase density. Walking & biking > cars
If the island were 100 times larger, the houses would take 1% of the land area, leaving 99%. The apartment complex would take up .04%, leaving 99.96%, which isn't much of an improvement. The proportions of our planet are much closer to my scenario than this made up island. That's a reason why we might not "prefer apartments in our own town."
There are good reasons you might want density, this just isn't one of them.
migrants were capturing the geese from the local park pond and eating them
This is totally fine by me, I don't see the problem
antisemitism
There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason. I mean, if you and I were in a line moving towards what we knew were gas chambers, I’d rather have a go at taking one of the guards with me; but they (the Jews) were always submissive.

Good question! I have heard that there are people who exchange money for labor, and I require money to purchase basic necessities such as food and shelter
IIRC that's a plot in Beasts of Burden. It's a good read regardless. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7703037-beasts-of-burden
Can you give me an example of a male professional athlete "becoming trans" and winning at their sport?
Remember kids, when brown people do something bad, it's terrorism. When white people starve an entire population after a failed occupation, that's just because we are very concerned about misogyny. Now, starving an entire country en masse has (to my knowledge) never caused a government to be overthrown, and in this case has no chance of improving the treatment of women in the country. Nor have women in Afghanistan ever asked for sanctions, nor do they support them now that they are in place. But don't let that fool you in to thinking we're doing it for any reason other than to help women in Afghanistan.
Before you respond, please take a look at my post and notice I said _nothing positive about the Taliban _. This is about the disingenuous use of women's rights to excuse and even celebrate mass starvation.
Because US & European sanctions are doing just that
[Edit: and the post is implicilty celebrating that with the "Taliban is broke" lines]
Are those graphs accurate? The modern one seems right, but I have no idea about pre-revolution France
Politics are about simple issues. Do we want to solve homelessness? Give people homes. Do we want to solve poverty? Give people money. Should we or shouldn't we support an ongoing genocide? Geez, I'm not a fucking brain genius, someone find an ethics professor.
The only complicated thing is getting people to understand this and act on it.
Of course, but in this specific case, we're talking about something that could literally mean rich people pay more money for the same thing.

The refusal to remove or demonetize extremist blogs means Substack is likely making money from them. It should stop.
- Substack's founder says it will not remove white supremacist and Nazi blogs from the platform.
- Some of these blogs have paying subscribers, which means Substack likely profits.
- The heart of the issue is not the free speech; it's the money.

The newsletter platform’s lax content moderation creates an opening for white nationalists eager to get their message out.
> The newsletter-hosting site Substack advertises itself as the last, best hope for civility on the internet—and aspires to a bigger role in politics in 2024. But just beneath the surface, the platform has become a home and propagator of white supremacy and anti-Semitism. Substack has not only been hosting writers who post overtly Nazi rhetoric on the platform; it profits from many of them.
