… It’s coming from the culmination of, like 5 decades of absurdly educated engineering. If you want to call them workers, then sure.

Okay, sure, I’ll play devil’s advocate. The engineering that goes into a single iPhone is unfathomable. It would take an entire lifetime of study to even try to produce something close.

But Apple pays about a jillion engineers about a jillion dollars each, and so they’re able to create new iPhones every year or so. That was 100% powered by capitalism.

Yeah, workers physically put the pieces together. Do you think any of them could design an iPhone without any help or reference? Or a single body to tie it all together?

Yeah, I’m sure that’s accurate and complete information, and not just a shock horror show fishing for attention.

Yep. “Us” v “them”. I wish it could be better.

Yeah, when it comes to Israel / Iran, I don’t have much to say. I’m willing to say that the USA fucked it up so much that morals are out the window.

I don’t know if religious differences would have led us here eventually, regardless, but I honestly don’t think so.

Sanctions are meant to prevent a current action. Reparations are meant to pay for past atrocities.

If you were asking the USA, Germany, France, etc. to pay reparations, I’d see your point. But currently Russia is killing Ukrainians because they want more land. Sanctions are, sadly, one of the best ways to prevent more innocent deaths.

Oh, absolutely. The USA’s war(s) in Afghanistan and their role in the middle east are abhorant and unforgivable. Just like their roles in destabilizing South America, etc.

And Russia should also be sanctioned, banned, etc. for attacking Ukraine. Just like they should’ve for Crimea.

That’s an interesting point, and human rights are certainly into question, but I’d ask when the last time Germany, France, USA, etc, declared war and invaded a sovereign nation.

Oh, I got this. The “enemy” is the one who invaded the sovereign nation of Ukraine without provocation. Good job finding an entirely new topic to talk about. Distract. Good tactic.

You’re… Aware that Russia invaded Ukraine, right? And all of this bloodshed, all of these senselessly sacrificed lives, could’ve been avoided if Russia just DIDN’T invade Ukraine?
