It is not. You need to re-familiarize yourself with what monarchy actually is. Maybe spend a year in an actual monarchy/dictatorship country if you have so little appreciation for the democracy you currently enjoy?

Even if this does end in political violence or civil war, if you vote, at least you will have tried to avoid that fate by participating in our democracy as much as possible. Voting is just so easy to do, how can you justify not doing it as anything but laziness? It can’t hurt and takes almost no effort.
I encourage you to reconsider and vote for whatever you perceive to be the least of all evils. Voting is relatively easy and doesn’t require much effort. It’s literally the least you can do. Yes, may not matter in the end, but it can still inform certain statistics that can be used to support various messages and arguments down the line. If you don’t vote at all, you guarantee you have no impact. Don’t throw away the little power you have.
You’ve given into despair and have opted out entirely, which is exactly what the people you gripe about want you to do. Congratulations, you’ve surrendered.
the ballot is one big trick question
I’d like an explanation of what you actually mean by this and why not voting is better than voting for the least bad candidate, if you regard them all as bad.
Okay, thanks for the information. That’s…obviously dumb as fuck and simply adds to Israel’s crimes. Didn’t Nestle try to pull some similar shit somewhere?
I agree the context makes the entire existence of a siege unusual here, I’m just pointing out that water and food deprivation have been used as tools of war for forever. The language used in the article—the “weaponization of water”—is meant to put a shiny new coat of paint on something ancient and make people think this is some new diabolical tactic Israel has invented on its own and that no one prior to them was barbaric enough to think of it. That’s what’s garbage journalism here.
Again, not defending Israel, just trying to point out sensationalist manipulative tactics on the part of this media outlet.
Source? It doesn’t say anything like that in the article. It mentions that 30% of Gaza’s water is purchased from Israel, but that’s hardly claiming that “all rainwater” belongs to Israel.
Not trying to defend Israel’s actions here, but let’s keep claims fact-based.
“Okay, now throw a straight punch at me.”
Christ, these headlines. What Israel is doing is abominable, but it’s nothing new. These are siege tactics and they’re practically as old as war itself.
Nah, if it was communist propaganda, it would mean that you get no material reward compared to anyone else, but could count on the teacher to pass on a good word for you with the principal, who then might mention your name positively at an education board meeting, who then might mention you to the mayor, the governor, etc, and now you have a real shot of becoming dictator of the single-party government that rules your country.
Value not consumer prizes and instead seek nepotistic alliances, for through them will the material comforts flow. —Mao, probably.

I agree the video is cringy AF, but I don’t have a problem with the company demanding its employees return to working in the office rather than remotely. There are a whole host of tangible benefits (for both companies and employees) from coming into work and I don’t see a problem with a company insisting on it. There are some industries and/or jobs in which remote work is probably fine, but most organizations benefit more from having people come into a shared workspace.
I like your memes, but this is a dick response. You could have just not answered, no reason to go out of your way to be an asshole.
I feel like the meme also works if you put the red box around “Gay. Depressed.” instead.
…No, no—I’ll see myself out.
Fernandez’s former boyfriend.
This is an unfortunate fact (that he’s gay) that the Right will focus on to further confirm their delusion that non-hetero people are likely to be pedophiles.
You give off strong “I pick fights with strangers on the internet over nothing to alleviate my boredom” energy.
To be fair, ducks are pretty dumb.
Yeah, he’s never going to willingly pay that bill. A court will have to order the money taken from him.
The gun is popular with criminals for the same reason it’s popular overall. Oh noes.
As usual, the gun isn’t the problem. Gun laws allowing access to it by criminals are.
