Whataboutism and race carding at its finest.

All over the place in Europia. From train station to public parks, in multiple countries, it is somewhat common for a turnstile with a coin slot for a small charge. Doesn't bother me if it allows for cleaner, safer facilities and keeps the riff raff out.

Humans are incredible at filtering, therefore a solution can float right on by if it isn't the "right one". Also solutions to most problems come by as a result of completely unrelated activity. Therefore it is incredibly important to be doing something, anything that isn't directly destructive to your goals.

I agree with most of what you said but you're very much misunderstanding the point of resistance insurgencies if you think their aim is to "win" in the conventional sense, i.e. conquer and hold territory. Despite the propaganda, death and destruction, Hamas are fighting the IDF to a strategic standstill. Israel's stated aim is the complete destruction of Hamas and they are nowhere near achieving it, which alone will be win enough in Hamas' eyes and will strengthen them no doubt. One purported goal for Hamas was to inflict a situation so awful that there is no way the world could just return to normal after it, which I would argue will have happened by the time the dust blows over. They also aimed to stop Arab-Israeli diplomatic normalisation, which has been set back at least 20 years or so. Of the two belligerents, I would argue Hamas has actually been more successful in its aims.

So in a few days' time,17 year olds. How is it so materially different from the 18 year olds most armies recruit and send to the meat grinder?

The Houthi attacks on commercial shipping are literally an attempt to blockade Israel and coerce them into stopping the Gaza offensive.

I desperately want to watch his 8 hour analysis of Starfield but am scared of the commitment.

And likewise.

I was wondering when the braindead momo crowd would show up.

So you're saying everyone I disagree with is not in fact a Nazi? Interesting stuff but it sounds exactly like something a Nazi would say.
