Ok, anons, we're going to grow pumpkins and corn stalks.
…
If you want to grow a stalk of corn, just germinate kernals of popcorn by taking popcorn kernals and placing them in a lightly soaked paper towel, then blow air into and seal the bag and place it near a window for a few days and they'll sprout.
They'll sprout and then you can plant them.

I'm not a leftist but I figure I'll get a better response here than /pol/

I'm neoliberal (socially progressive, economically liberal) and Jewish; most of my immediate and extended family are very socially left-leaning but generally pro-Israel among the people above the age of 40 and very anti-Israel among the people below the age of 40. Some people in the extended family are native-born Israelis. I've never heard any sort of Islamophobic or anti-Arab/anti-Palestinian comment from any of them in my life, including during this period, but throughout the war they were extremely concerned about the hostages and just wanted to do whatever to support the hostages and see them be rescued.

I and I think many other people vacillate on if Israeli was/is conducting a necessary defensive operation to approximately the best of their ability while preserving civilian wellbeing, or being excessive and lax, or being genocidal. There are documented atrocities, and periods where necessary aid was not being permitted in until international pressure caused them to relent, so without a doubt there were undeniable war crimes. I do not know who to believe on where to rank the scale of the war crimes. How often were munitions excessively sized for killing particular militants, etc.

What are good ways I can epistemologically disentangle all of this? What are clear demarcation lies for genocide in terms of action? The typical qualification is genocidal intent, and it seems a bit hazy what the intent is. Some of the most extreme politicians made comments that could be interpreted as genocidal, but it's unclear if they had any influence over policy. Others made comments that were ambiguous as to whether they referred to militants vs. the population as a whole.

Clear atrocities include things like the massacre of Gazan health care workers in Rafah and torturing the two survivors. Israel later acknowledged this was improper and a mistake, but did not charge anyone.

Other notable examples are shooting civilians waiting for food (for being unaware they were "too close" to a guarded zone) and civilians unknowingly crossing "red lines" post-ceasefire.

Another common statement is that Israel deliberately targeted Gazan journalists. My understanding is Israel acknowledges deliberate targeting of journalists who were members of Hamas and denies targeting any non-Hamas journalists (many non-Hamas journalists have died, but Israel claims thePost too long.

I was wondering, can you be an atheist and be anti-VAX

Cooking and culinary arts are outdated methods of nutrition that waste time in labor and promote the spread the sickness of cultural bourgeois norms.

Kermit did 9/11, Elmo and Saddam Hussein were both given keys to Detroit, Big Bird caused the Challenger explosion, Big Bird drove past Mao’s tomb, Rowlf the Dog read a letter from Nikita Khrushchev‘s wife, Kermit the frog visited Red Square in 1988, A photo of Bert posing with Osama Bin Laden was used by Bangladeshi protesters, and Tickle Me Elmo was investigated by the FBI because it matched the profile of the Unabomber.

The brain development theory is just an excuse to infantilize prime age adults.
Neurophysiology doesn't automatically mean psychology.

The whole "25 is the new 18" is being promoted due to the average adult in postmodern era being a sad willful loser who wants to give up autonomy to save face from their loserdom.

I notice the people who support raising the age of majority are often those who willfully decided to waste their youth instead getting their shit together.

If we decide to delay adult hood until the mid twenties, parents will have more economic strain.

The retirement age will have to be raised to the eighties.

Schools will have to do more to accommodate more students who by right should be contributing to society.

We will have less vital-bodied workers which means more liability.
The brain development theory is just encouraging behavioral sink.

Isn't the mysticism and fetishism surrounding nature a bourgeois construct? Why should I care about nature? Assuming it has a net positive effect for humanity, why shouldn't we just bulldoze everything and make room for actually useful things, if we were to figure out terraforming and shit?
