Israel seems to expand into areas they don’t control, breaking international law. And, while doing so, they bring settler violence (backed by the IDF) against innocent people, including children.
What ‘right’ is that? Would I have the ‘right’ to expand into my neighbour’s home if I was backed by a large number of people with guns?
I can understand a ‘might makes right’ sense of morality after societal collapse, because living beings are constrained by an inadequate sense of perception tied to the illusion of an enduring consciousness that prejudices them in favour of their survival. It’s concerning that we are practising these skills while society appears to be functioning to some extent, as if many people are excited about living in a post-apocalyptic world and are in training for dealing with it by swapping the lives of strangers for whatever imagined gain they think they will experience.

lol @ “right to defend themselves” somehow turning into “right for expansion” like they could just slip that by and no one would notice.
