And why is Hamas there if we follow the entire timeline?

They were just happy to have an opportunity to make it look as though they were.

It would be of no surprise to me if Netanyahu orchestrated Hamas’ attack.

Those are just premeditated accidental killings. It’s very different.

This story is about the University of Michigan. 😉

If we’re going to get the analogy correct, you’re right, Hamas would be the assholes that killed 1200 people at a festival, and then IDF/Israel killed 34,000+, 70% women and children, in response.

Seems like a balanced response from a country which you’d expect to desire the respect of other first world countries?

Oh wait. That’s not an analogy.

Let’s see what happens next? Spoiler! Israel annexes more Palestinian land for illegal settlements!

Now imagine if the IDF had shown up and murdered a bunch of people at the graduation ceremony.

What scale of asshole would that be?

They Swiss Loophole. “We’re neutral.”

If you tolerate the intolerant, you’ll frequently end up on the wrong side of history.

Local motorsports in the US.

It’s a whack-a-mole of services which restream content, but the piracy services are also subscription based.

What about the small, local services that are just trying to pay the broadcast production bills and make a little cash to become viable businesses?

Fuck those people too?

Because these piracy services also affect them. These services restream the content taking away revenue from the small streaming services. In many cases we’re talking about volumes less than 100. So these restream services pop up, illegally use trademarks and copyrighted materials to advertise, and can reduce volumes enough that they are no longer viable.

Sometimes these things affect regular people trying to make life work too. Not just billionaire assholes who legitimately deserve the criticism.

The government is people. So all you’re saying is people, by nature, will always become corrupt.

Creativity takes inspiration. Somebody has to manifest the stepping stones on the path to a masterpiece. The magic of the internet is we get to watch it happen. We’ll rarely hear Beethoven’s garbage or see Michelangelo’s screw ups, but whoever did this…we get to see the stepping stone.

Many Americans (I’m one) cling to a variety of purity tests, and they struggle to grasp the bigger picture which could result in better outcomes for everyone.

Black or white. Win or lose. It’s a tiring cultural characteristic.

Yep. Incentives align differently for different people, which is what makes a healthy market work.
