It's almost as if people have strong feelings on matters of literal life and death and governmental oppression/terrorist acts.

not really. If it were about African nations going ham at each other, or like when there was an iran vs Irak war, people would have opinions, but never as strong as these.

The rounded-ness and extracurriculars and all that shit are just justifications.

the college admissions process is rigged.

there are feeder schools, which are those very expensive private schools where kids go to k-12 with a bunch of millionaire classmates. Going to those schools almost guarantees you will get into an ivy. Of course, a year there is more expensive than a years worth of mortgage.

you can also get yourself an admissions consultant, who knows exactly how to get you in, because they are very well connected.

and then you have the bush/trump/Kushner way: just buy your way into it.

meanwhile normal people (pawns) are wondering whether to send their kids to comfort a leper camp or a homeless shelter cleaning camp in order to round off the president of the chess club checkbox, the teens tennis champion box and the mozart appreciation club checkbox, combined with a 5 GPA (since apparently you can go over 4 and apparently there is no limit!!! Why 5 GPA when you can get 6 GPA!?!)

Really, that's hardly unbelievable. The most prestigious universities have plenty of high GPA applicants like that, which is why the obsession with extracurricular comes in; remember how those celebrity admission scandals included faking them? I'm sure it made sense at some point, but now those extras are mostly just performative, as anyone who intends seriously to apply for Ivy League tier schools knows that they're expected, meaning all that volunteering & "rounded-ness" has little, if any, sincerity behind it, beyond displaying how much money & free-time you have to burn. Then you have race: hard truth is that the socioeconomic impact that comes from America's racial history, is a big factor in the resources & opportunities an American child has; simply put, that scene in King of the Hill where Khan is stunned when it's explained to him that Connie being a high achieving Asian was technically working against her, is often more truth than most people would like to accept. That's not even touching on legacy admissions or "charitable donations" that just happen to be from the rich kid's family.

Then you just have rank inflation in general. You have job requirements that previous generations would likely have never been able to pass, if you held them to current standards. Ever seen the average Boomer's first resume? Most are beyond underwhelming, compared to what the current job market would require, & they weren't even subject to ATS's.

this. So much this

Before I start, I am under no illusion that Israel is a "good guy" or anything like that. They have a ton of issues.

Things Hamas does:
-put tunnels under civilian buildings, connecting many of them.
-Literally put one of their main HQs inside a hospital.
-Tell their people to NOT go south after Israel told them to do so.
-Actively interfere with anyone who attempts to go south (reports include everything from blockades to them rounding up vehicle keys and ID documents). This picked up steam after Israel then restored water to the southern areas to further encourage people to get out of there before the land invasion begins.
-Launch rockets basically right from residential properties in the middle of the city.

The Hamas know what they are doing, by making it all but impossible to hurt them without hurting people who are not them. And they are doing this on purpose because it makes anyone who tries to do anything to them look bad.

Other things they did in the past include:
-Use infrastructure and other donations to make rockets instead of their intended purpose.
-When the EU funding directly improving their water infrastructure and built it themselves, they then just dug up the new pipes to make rockets with them.

It is very clear that the only value people have for the Hamas is to be a shield for them or to generate negative publicity for Israel, and that anything relating to their actual welfare is at best not a concern, and at worst is something they actively want if they can pin it on Israel.

At the very least, Israel does have some semblance of caring about its own citizens. Which is a remarkably low bar.

I agree with this 100%

You left out that side one is bashing every innocent person in their way on the head to get to side 2.

look, the analogy can be modified to make one side look worse than the other, or to make it sound silly (lol Israel doesnt have testicles, its a country, countries have no genitals lol), but thats not the gist of the issue.

I am not aware of any third countries that Israel is attacking over this: not the western countries, not Iran, not Saudi Arabia, and not Lebanon. I am not sure how any of these countries would justify intervening in the baseball bat and kick to the nads analogy

why cant the rest of the world just sit this one out?

now side 1 grabbed a baseball bat and its ready to crack side 2s skull for doing that. Is that right? No.

But what we have is bunch of third parties going like please, dont, cracking skulls is wrong, just turn around and let him get away with it and another set of third parties going like yessss!!! Yes!!! Crack his skull!!! Let me see if I can ship some aluminum bats your way too!.

there is no right intervention here, it can escalate into a world war real quick, why not just let both parties sort it out, for better or worse?

IMO the country is heading towards a bimodal income distribution landscape, where many, probably most people are stuck earning 30k or 40k, while some others are making obscene amounts (200k+). You are basically a banker, law firm partner, Silicon Valley guy or some sort of executive, or you are literally everybody else.

and if youre everybody else you wont be able to buy a house, ever. You can barely pay rent with 40k, let alone buy groceries, saving for a 20% down payment on a 400k home is out of the question
