Of course the fucking comments section is swallowing that line uncritically
Good chance its just Fed-to-Fed communication. So much of the internet is just saturated with manufactured consent.

We'll know in eight years. But I wouldn't put money on Israel just vanishing in a puff of hate. Haiti still exists, ffs. Iraq and Syria still exist, despite being bombed to shit repeatedly. Countries with far less have endured for far longer.
And there are simply too many Israelis with too much to lose for it to vanish inside a decade.

Unfortunately, when the people you're firing on have been starved for any kind of economic base over the last two decades and subjected to repeated bombings and invasions prior to this, it is apparently something you absolutely can do. As to whether it will work out long term? Israel has access to the US
Over the long term, Israel's overall domestic situation may end up looking more like El Salvador's or Panama's or Qatar's. But who cares? The country will plunge further into a caste-system of Jewishness, while the nation's finances will be tied increasingly to western financial interests. That feels like a feature rather than a bug.

AI is really the last gasp of the USA in terms of trying to outpace the crisis of capitalism
People said this in 2020 during COVID and 2008 with the housing bust.
The US can outpace the collapse because it controls an international currency that commands trade markets. That's why we can just keep buying more widgets forever, for the next widget milling project to make fake economic activity.
The real thing that will kill the American economy is a collapse in the price of fossil fuels. But I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.

Or maybe we'll just move on to the Next Thing, like we did after the VR and Crypto markets flopped.
So long as you can print new cash faster than bag holders can go bankrupt, we can keep running this thing forever.
If anyone important gets caught holding a bag, bailout and move on.

Wandering into Arizona with my eyes closed and my ears corked, climbing into the rear window of a McMansion, unplugging my orifices, ordering a pizza, and shitting straight out of my do-do ass when I discover the delivery guy is tan.

Only a Dunbar's Number worth of active users. Damn, I bet they all know each other and have some degree of social intimacy, unlike us cool dudes in Lemmy who shout endlessly into the void of anonymity.

And that's what they'd do against anyone pre 1980
Assuming they were teleported into the ring, sure.
don't give a fuck if they die from eating a bad egg afterwards.
It's more whether they die beforehand that tilts the playing field.

Dudes who have (probably) watched Rick and Morty could beat the piss out of Alexander The Great or whoever the fuck.
I was under the impression Alexander's expertise was in logistics, not hand to hand unarmed combat.
I should also say that all these UFC fighters would last about a week before they started wasting away from cholera, diptheria, and general malnutrition.
A guy who can guzzle creatine, stuff his face with ground beef, and take the bus to and from the gym is going to be on a completely different foot trying to hoof it halfway across the Savannah looking for someone to arm wrestle.

They're just angry at any game that's popular. That's the only common denominator here. "Other people shouldn't be allowed to like things".
