I don’t get it. I’m liberal and agree Israel is committing a genocide. What am I missing?
I take it you haven’t seen the recent advancements in both robotics and LLM powered agents
Our tax dollars pay for the weapons used on children. The outrage for Western support should be unanimous and visceral
Allow me to complicate the trial. What if the robbed is no longer alive?
