I was implying something a little closer to home.Tunnelcat wrote:As for the ideals being just Likud's, no they are not. I'm sure a lot of Israelis harbor the same wishes, although a little more privately. They did vote the Likud Party back into power after all.

We provide them the material support to turn those ideals into actions. We defend those actions politically and militarily. Are you confident they're just the ideals of Netanyahu and Likud?Tunnelcat wrote:the U.S. certainly has no control over Bibi and the Likud Party's ideals.

Re: Equality
What even is "rich?" 10 million dollars in wealth? 100 million? A billion?
What benefits to society are achieved by allowing an individual to accumulate 1 billion dollars in wealth as opposed to, say, 100 million dollars? It's an honest question, because I can't think of any.

Yes, believing wealth inequality is too great is basically the same as believing teachers and librarians are predators grooming children for sexual abuse.

Re: Stolen Valor
I don't have an issue with what Vance did in the military. There's a whole lotta non-combat jobs that still need to be done and he did one. Great.
But he's an absolute douche bag for promoting the stolen valor BS, and I'd say it's far more illustrative of his "honor" than his service.

It's all wound up in their preoccupation with trans people, and Walz's acceptance that trans people actually exist and his willingness to make accommodations. Just basic "try not to be an ★■◆●" type stuff that the right is increasingly disconnected from.
