17,000 dingdongs dying from self prescribing out of ignorance and ego is honestly not that big of a number, globally.It's definitely more people than I could kill by speaking. I imagine the same ones would have found a different dumb way to go.

The non-owning classes need a different tool for tracking debts than the fiat currency we're used to.

If there is a way to cooperatively track value created by working within your neighborhood, say fixing a neighbors deck, delivering food, etc, outside of macroeconomic trade, we could figure out how to live without the hoarding pigs.

The difficult part is accountability. Commodities and fiat currencies are what they are, but trying to implement some other fungible measure of value created before the representation of that value already exists is what has me scratching my head. If there are 100 people capable of doing work within their community but only $10 to go around them, it doesn't make sense to exchange work for money that doesn't exist. But if those 100 people can agree to compensate one another by exchanging work without using the currency, they would all be unblocked and industrious.

They definitely got played like a fiddle and did exactly what their enemies wanted them to do.

The ripple effects of this genocide is going to ruin their ability to have normal state relations and any semblance of security for generations.

Israel lost the long game, because they reacted and failed to choose to respond.

Let me be clear. Israel is fully responsible. They were an obvious mark for manipulation (this is Israel's fault). Because of this, an adversary provoked them, and successfully goaded them into making a genocidal blunder. Also Israel's fault.

The Israeli government is unhinged, hateful and fascist and those qualities were leveraged by an adversary. It's an absolute embarrassment.

Conservatives Have Lost the Culture War ( washingtonmonthly.com )

Republican politicians like Ron DeSantis may rail against “woke” corporations. The reality is that when companies like Nike and Disney—no progressive angels themselves—seem to align with the left by promoting anti-racism and LGBTQ causes, they are catering to the tolerant demographic that matters most to the bottom line....

They don't really lose. They just stop talking about things and start talking about something else crazy. Their followers do not care.
