     this also applies to white people and they teach that getting wiped out is a good thing. Israel very openly says that other countries should behave in a suicidal manner that they don't. The rules simply don't apply to them.
     
     Now that the west is flooded with nonwhites they are having a much harder time controlling grassroots opinions about Israel. In most countries they have simply made it illegal to hold negative opinions about them.

     @cajax just depends how much amazon cares. They can afford to run it at a $1,000,000 loss. Probably not a $1,000,000,000 loss (but who knows).
     
     More relevant though is that promoting Palestine would obviously not be in amazog's political interest. That's why I believe twitch staff is rogue.

     @RustyCrab I don't think I'd say rogue... Because in a weird way, both sides make sense from the libtarded point of view. The Jews *should* get a homeland because they're a people who had a realistic (I personally believe it's realistic) chance of being wiped out, and they need a set place to flee to in if this ever happens in the future... But at the same time, they need land, and what do they do with the people who were already there (whether they have any right to the land or not I'm not evaluating)? Something that looks a lot like colonialism.
     
     The ideology itself seems to have "a mind of its own" and it's causing problems for a certain group of machiavellians who've hitched a large part of their fortunes to it. It's not a darwinian selected thing, so you can't think of it as a creature that has some state it's trying to maintain-- it's more like a pocket of static electricity, that needs just enough decrease in resistance, or just enough of an increase in voltage, to be able to discharge itself. It's just a cause and effect thing-- a logical outcome.

     @RustyCrab A lot of these tech fixtures like twitch operate at a loss anyway. They may even see it as a business expense, letting twitch take a revenue hit to try and meet some political goal or other that's good for some other part of their business. It's all fucked.

     "If twitch lost 70% of their advertisers they would have banned hasan". I don't think so actually. Twitch strikes me as particularly rogue from their political extremism. They block Israeli IPs. I think it's going to take a direct response from amazon before they do anything even if their revenue goes to zero

     @RustyCrab @PurpCat I don't want to resort to underhanded tactics to beat them. I want it to be possible for normal people to influence national policy to make this kind of collusion illegal in the first place.
     
     Right now, I have a tentative hope that the corrupt establishment has done such a bad job that Trump and the people he's got with him are gonna sweep in and start fixing shit. Let the former crimelords keep their ill-gotten gains to avoid a bloody civil war, but cut them off from ever getting that kind of power again. Turn them back into normal citizens whose fortunes will dwindle over a few generations, as they tend to do when you don't have the benefit of intergenerational political power to keep your social position forever. Spread the dynasties to the winds.
     
     If society has even a tiny amount of trust or faith in itself at all, saner heads have a chance to prevail. At this moment, and this moment alone, a collation of exactly the type we see with the people Trump has gathered around him have a chance to break and change the order to something better. I hope it turns out they their rhetoric is something they believe in enough to actually do, rather than people who just happen to have never encountered a temptation alluring enough to give in. So I'm (very) cautiously optimistic for our current state. I will say a prayer that things work out well, that we can have cool shit like a peaceful world where humans can live. Because the alternative is... Well, kind of tiring to be honest. It gets tedious reading about how shit turns to shit in history.
     
     And now we're finding evidence there's another civilization before ours that was much bigger and more capable than anyone thought before (gobleki teplei or something) and there's no historical record of them, nor previous evidence of them at all. They were great, now they're gone. It's all just so tiresome (lol that was unintentional).

     At least explicitly ask for a raise before you start passive-aggressively slacking off. That way it's at least a negotiation tactic instead of an excuse.

Almost everyone just looks at phones as "free" because the default way to pay for them is being locked into a financing contract and getting ads injected directly into your brain as a result.
