Morality schmorality, we need universal healthcare, daycare, a progressive tax system, and much more. Once society is equitable to all, then all have equal opportunity to behave “morally.”
All of these things are maintained by humans. There is no perfect structure that can keep everyone “locked” to act in favor of the structure, whether it is through surveillance, bureaucracy or punishments. In any system, a subset of the participants will at some point have leeway to put a small dent to the system. Some systems are more resistant to self-destruction than others, but none are immune to it due to our inherent ability to choose between right and wrong. Therefore, evil systems can always be defeated, and good systems can always fall.
He’s financially incentivized to align himself with the political agendas of Israel. This is reflected by his politics and support of Israel with money and weapons, regardless of its genocide in Palestine. He’s stealing taxmoney and giving it to Israel so that they can genocide Palestinians.
That’s enough to denounce him.
Life finds a way back once it’s unfolded?

Biden has received at least $4,261,010 from Israeli lobbying.
I feel that there is an underlying moral problem in society that causes the rich to always exploit the poor. It feels like if you were to shuffle people around and pick a new set of rich people, said people would be almost equally likely to screw over their fellow man. If society was more moral in general, this exploitation would be reduced.
It will suck when the old wizard gets tired of being a frog and realizes he doesn’t have the limbs to turn himself back into a human.
Office spaces can be turned into housing as long as they are not too deep, otherwise many rooms will end up without windows and sun light.
Why are all the protesters women and the guards men in this picture? I feel that this picture left out all the men in the protest, or the men are being irresponsible by letting women stand on the front-line, so to speak. I feel that it’s the former.
Where does this picture come from exactly?
I don’t want to say “I told you so”, but I told you so.
I wouldn’t take this comment as anything but an anecdote. This is how some homeless people can be, so the take away is that the homelessness problem cannot be completely solved with housing. Some people are just cripplingly dysfunctional. They need more than housing, they need care takers. Just handing out keys to an apartment next to families to a dysfunctional drug addict who will smoke, vandalize and play loud music at night is not fair to the neighbors. These are normal middle-class people complaining, not some billionaire who can’t stand the sight of a peasant lol.

Interesting quotes:
At the request of the English National Health Service, the senior pediatrician Hilary Cass has completed the most thorough consideration yet of this field, and her report calmly and carefully demolishes many common activist tropes. Puberty blockers do have side effects, Cass found. The evidence base for widely used treatments is “shaky.” Their safety and effectiveness are not settled science.
…
We also don’t have strong evidence that social transitioning, such as changing names or pronouns, affects adolescents’ mental-health outcomes (either positively or negatively). We don’t have strong evidence that puberty blockers are merely a pause button, or that their benefits outweigh their downsides, or that they are lifesaving care in the sense that they prevent suicides.
…
We don’t know why the number of children turning up at gender clinics rose so dramatically during the 2010s, or why the demographics of those children changed from a majority of biological males to a majority of biological females.
…
Medicalized gender treatments for minors became wrapped up with a push for wider social acceptance for transgender people, something that was presented as the “next frontier in civil rights,” as Time magazine once described it. Any questions about such care were therefore read as stemming from transphobic hostility, full stop.
What about the trans fat byproduct from margarine production?
