Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy
  • "Competitors choosing" is usually considered to be price fixing

    No? It isn’t?

    Where do you think prices come from?

    Amazon et al aren't the only US companies guilty of this or other anti-competitive behaviors

    How is this anti-competitive?

  • Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy
  • You’re listing all of the reasons it’s not a monopoly - you can go almost anywhere else and buy the same good.

    Therefore, I think Amazon has a literal monopoly in the tech industry right now, you're literally forced to buy from them

    You literally weren’t and literally aren’t, so they’re literally not.

    They have so aggressively and dominantly taken over the supply chain market that no other tech company can currently compete with them in any aspect at all.

    If nobody was in competition with them, they’d be raising their prices.

  • what could not be distinguished between them was the playground line of blaming the other for their own behaviour.

    That both sides are blaming the other is not evidence that both sides are to blame. “Every accusation is a confession”, remember? Palestinian claims are just DARVO.

    1. Money is a form of control, if you control a countries economy you effectively control the country.

    Spending money someplace doesn’t “control the economy”, stupid.

    1. Hamas received direct Israeli funding

    No, it did not.

    1. My point is that war economics inherently benefits the American Empire

    Proxy war with Israel directly benefits the Iranian empire.

    Israel exists as an outpost for American troops to exhert power in the region.

    There are fewer US troops stationed in Israel than stationed in Lincoln, Nebraska.

    The idea that Israel wants peace is absurd, the people maybe but its clear that the colonial ambitions of the Israeli government

    There’s no such thing. Israel is not a colony - Palestine is a colony and Arabs are colonizers.

  • The Hamas media? Yes, though eventually it became ridiculous for them to assert that Hamas had raped and murdered German tourists at Nova because Israel had “made” them.

    Arabs attack Israel because they hate the “Yahud.”

  • Before Hezbollah Israeli money was constantly being pumped into Lebanon.

    You said “hold”, like they were in control of the place.

    Now you’re just saying they invested there.

    Also once again you're missing my point, both Hamas and Hezbollah were created to be enemies.

    But your point is wrong - they were created to be allies. Allies of Iran, which is who created them. That’s why Hezbollah promotes Shia Islam in Lebanon.

    Im addition you're still ignorent to the economics of war and foreign interests.

    Waving terms like “war economics” and “foreign interests” without meaning anything by them doesn’t help your argument; Iran faces the same incentives for war against Israel that anyone else would.

    It matters not what Israel wants when its nothing but an extension of the American Empire.

    If Israel is nothing but an American vassal state, the vanguard of our imperial ambitions in the Middle East (lol, who cares about that shithole desert) then why have we placed Israel under arms embargo literally every time they’ve been attacked by Arabs?

  • Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way!
  • Their father has a choice. He should act in a way that’s in his children’s best interests but if he thinks attacking Israel is more important, then the consequences will be his to live with.

    I agree with you it would be better if he were simply killed, though; that’s certainly the position Israel takes on the matter.

  • Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way!
  • Sometimes you bomb them so you don’t have to, or to block a means of egress. Either way it’s a legitimate military objective that justifies civilian casualties.

    People could just leave the area, though. It’s not like Israel doesn’t tell them about the strike.

  • 1.3 civilians per militant also meets the definition of proportionate; during the US action in Fallujah it was 7:1 and the ICJ had no issue with that at all.

    Urban combat is destructive for the people who live there; they should simply have not started a war on Oct 7th.

  • Weaponizing ordinary devices violates international law, United Nations rights chief says
  • I’m not justifying the murder of anyone. I’m informing you as to with whom the moral responsibility lies: Hezbollah and its inhuman terrorist sons of bitches. It shouldn’t be a “bannable offense” to have moral clarity, but this is no place for free discussion, after all. It’s an echo chamber of hating Jews.
