They’re communicating that they’ve been desensitized to a high degree because of the brutality of the genocide, that this feels pale in comparison.

I agree. I heard the audio on the news site, it had a warning which is fine, but wasn’t that bad. An adult knew she’s going to die and communicated it in a rather calm manner, it was quick, you didn’t hear anything but her voice, and wouldn’t know what happened or when relative to what she said.

I googled Learjet just to get more details on the plane, and the first thing I hit was a reddit post which had a supposed pilot explaining their experience, but the mod was in there banning people for posting the audio, with a pinned comment explaining that, and describing it as extreme gore and nsfl. It’s not that bad.

Did the video of the plane crashing horrify you?

A few years ago, it would have been horrifying. After watching children’s brains spilling out of their heads for over a year, it’s just an accident like any other, it triggers nothing emotionally.

“Copyright” is immoral and exists to protect capitalists. Intellectual property as a concept needs to die, and knowledge needs to be accessable to everybody.

If you believe the capitalist assertion that stock always go up, sure. If you’re not close to retirement and aren’t counting on those funds anytime soon, sure.

I believe the AI circular financing bubble isn’t meaningfully going to turn a corner and become profitable enough to pay the debts already accumulated, and once it truly pops that money will never come back to the average investor trusting the financial bros to put all their eggs into that overinflated basket.

The point you’re missing is that the loss is real for the investors holding those assets.

If you bought ten cards for $5 each, you invested $50. When their market value rises to $80, you have an investment worth $80. If that value subsequently falls to $10, you’ve lost $70 in investment value. You can no longer sell those cards for what you could have sold them for yesterday.

And if you were someone who bought those ten cards at $8 each, you’ve now lost $70 of your original $80 investment. That isn’t hypothetical money. That’s money you actually spent and can no longer recover by selling your cards.

The money is not “still there”, the money transferred hands and you (or your retirement account) are holding the empty bag.

You triggered them, sure.

You’re gonna address the point they made though? How they had chattel slaves AND the alternative ancient slave systems you defended are literally worse?
