  • Things that should be relatively non controversial:

    • There’s no simple solution.

    • Palestinian civilians is not equal to Hamas.

    • Hamas is a terror organisation

    • Israel army is currently exercising too much violence on Palestinians

    • Israel clearly has the military advantage.

    More vague points:

    That puts most of the responsibility of how the situation develops in Israel hands. They can’t change the minds of the Palestinians. But they have the power to minimise total harm. They should be able to keep a lower rate of casualties on the Palestinian side without significantly increasing casualties on the Israeli side? No?



  • It’s an interesting point that would be nice to see addressed more in anti-superhero fiction, like The Boys. They addressed this problem to some extent with the Rorschach depiction in the Watchmen TV series.

    Feels like Rick and Morty has had the same issue with people idolizing Rick. They have addressed it to some degree by showing how Rick’s bad qualities also make him miserable etc.

    An even less popular opinion: if you care enough about climate change to not have children you should have children. The alternative is that only people who don’t care about climate change will have children.

    Anyways, the fertility rate has dropped very quickly all over the developed world and the world is turning developed quickly. I’m not saying that will solve climate change but it looks like overpopulation is at least going to be solved.
