I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I don't understand how any "techno-optimist" can still claim the unregulated free market system is a success. I had high hopes for such a manifesto, but should've known better. This is a joke, stopped reading.

As Twitter dies trolls are looking at other media outlets to engage. Hide their replies. Then go to their profile and block them. Never engage. They will soon tire of their trolling if they get no response. Peace and Harmony prevails when we stick together.

What I say is, "that feeling of guilt means that you have empathy, but viewing those things won't make you care any more than you already do. It will only make you suffer. Instead, find some way to help that will relieve your guilt. Donate, volunteer, etc. If you're traumatized, you can't help."

basically doesn't matter where you're coming from on this question. ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU SUPPORTED AND FUNDED HAMAS FOR YEARS is pretty god damn important
“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” Netanyahu said. “This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.” www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
Another concept implodes: Israel can’t be managed by a criminal defendant
