  • More like enemy of men, both of youse

  • How is it sick and vile to say all kid deaths are equally sad? I would think that it is more sick and vile to think that a kid's death is worse than other kids' deaths because of where those kids are from. There is no blame here but against those who don't speak up against war mongerers and people who willingly serve them.

  • This is just as sad as thousands of kids who died in Palestine or those who witnessed their loved one torn to pieces right in front of their eyes. No more, no less.

  • Oh no I am fully on board with this. But it still boils to the same source of governments serving the interest of the rich rather than the remaining people. Airplane companies pushing agendas and asking for government incentives while governments say they really care about the planet but not making enough effort to make train travel cheaper (international per mile especially) than flying. Fucking hell they should incentivize the hell out of it so that it becomes cheap as chips and people take flights only for long distances. So yes commercial flights are definitely also a part of the problem.

  • If you compute it per person I suspect a billionaire is probably producing (just due to flights) about 10000 to 50000 more than an average traveller (couple international flights a year).

  • Well I am glad I can buy a CEO 10 meters of flight time. My estimates is that our collective world wide yearly efforts can just about earn our top 100 richest turds their annual flight pollution.

  • Thanks for the calculation. Sounds about right, according to the link below the top of the ladder billionaire flies about a couple hundred times a year and consumes about 2000 tonnes of fuel. So the fuel consumption you calculated is about 70 billionaires. It is generally true that the top hundred richest people in the world consume/obtain about as much resources as the rest of the world so that calculation is believable.

  • So that if Trump goes after 4 years and is replaced back by a democrat he is going to turn back to democrat voters and tell them "look I sent women to space, I am super into environmental issues and I actually was a big fan of DEI so I am implementing them back again". For him it is just hedging bets.

  • I got an idea, lets empty venice temporarily and turn this all into battle royale. Lets see how many seconds does it take Jeff to sell Lauren out for a gun.

  • I wonder how many jet flights do a single year of collective paper straw using offsets

  • I mean 999million is already too much but it is a great start. We can give some more fake benefits that soothe the narcissistic ego of these people like promise that their brain and dna will be frozen and then cloned in a future date when the tech is ready. Maybe that way they believe that they can live forever or some shit.

  • people like him think that raising children = disseminating your genetic material. for him the kids are already lucky enough to get their prime genetic material.

  • he is probably completely invested in the idea that his genetic material is the real shit and is trying to make sure he disseminates it successfully. You gotta love these people who think that everyone else in the world is a NPC.

  • Must be good to know you are disliked by the majority of a city

  • I agree the tone of the article is extremely biased (the same author (Guardians Jerusalem correspondent I believe) did at least went on to document many civilian deaths on the Palestinians side as well at least). Guardian also reports on the other side of the story too:

    Claims of Israeli sexual assault of Palestinian women are credible, UN panel says

    and many others. So this is to me more a case of bad individually biased journalism rather than a reporting that is enforced by general journal policies. Were it the latter case, we would not be able to see all the other articles I linked and the same author would not be able to write articles such as

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/24/new-details-on-killing-of-paramedics-in-gaza-appear-to-contradict-idf-account

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/19/gaza-palestinians-israeli-aid-blockade

    This is not what a completely biased media is. What you linked looks more like a hastily written article without waiting for resolution of all the evidence, perhaps because the author took the supposed description of events too emotionally. I agree though, it would have been much better if that news was presented in the form of laying all the facts neutrally and leaving it there such as:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_and_gender-based_violence_in_the_October_7_attacks

    The fact that Israeli government tried to created a distorted perception of what happened during the Hamas attacks or is committing genocide in Palestine does not clear Hamas of killing (in some cases violently) and kidnapping civilians though. So there is that. Fuck state of Israel and zionism but also fuck Islamist terrorist organizations who forces their msoygnistic world views on the populace the moment they get control of a city. So there is that just to clarify my perspective on the matter.

  • Fair enough, though he builds all his personal image on completely associating his whole being with the companies he runs. Apparently he is even the chief engineer of spaceX probably because he wants to feel like Tony Stark. It is hard to trust a company where he names him self the chief engineer because that means he can enforce stupid decisions only because it sounds cool to him. Then once in a while he comes up with ridiculous stuff like donating his sperm for the mars mission or stuff like this:

    Otherwise kudos to all the great engineers who work there but I am not optimistic unless he lessens his influence there.

  • More than a year? There is a 2023 article calling it a genocide and zionism. I have linked tens of articles above ranging from 2023 to 2024 with similar to es. I have not seen any links from you that support your claims.

  • only to seemingly all turn into a shit show.

  • If the Guardian did not decide to publish this opinion piece and tens of others from Owen and other authors with similar tones how did all these get published? Did they blackmail Guardian into publishing these? How is it not their free will?

  • You mean tens of articles published in a main stream media since the genocide started all calling it a genocide has no impact? It has more impact than a smaller scale news site publishing similar editorial pieces. It has more reach and it contributes more. Having an editorial article with the same tone is the ideal situation but I will take the former any day when other media fire their long time employees for just a single comic for god's sake. And we know how much international bullying there is to call writers of such articles anti-semitist. So creating an environment where people can publish such articles in a mainstream media outlet takes a lot of effort, resources and shielding. If we are going to race quotes here you go:

    Israel’s leaders committed genocide in Gaza and must pay for it. Their political and media allies must too

    There was a palastine support march in London about a month ago with almost half a million people joining it and a kilometers long line of people. I would like to think that main stream media allowing opinion pieces calling genocide a genocide has some contribution to that.
