It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Hereβs the thing, with very few exceptions every Israeli made the active decision to serve in the military. The punishments are minimal enough Iβd consider working retail a worse fate.
Not every American serves in the military.
Sure. Maybe I picked the wrong example since this is a soldier, but I've seen this sentiment commonly applied to all Israeli society. And where do you draw the line? Most Americans end up supporting the mass slaughter of foreigners until they start seeing those sad little coffins with their sad little flags on the news, or until decades later when everyone has accepted that it was horrific and indefensible, and everyone pretends that they opposed it from the beginning.
And when push comes to shove and Americans have to choose between a world of equally distributed wealth where they have to do the real, unpleasant work that makes society possible (instead of four hours of meetings and four hours of emails), and one where a Fascist vanguard kills anyone that tries to change the status quo, I have absolutely zero doubt which choice they'll make.
according to the map that's been posted here a few times, americans would see a slight increase on average with a global redistribution of wealth.
we also work way more than is necessary for maintaining society, and the whole bullshit jobs thing means a lot of office drones would prefer to do something else that isn't alienating if they still had their needs met.
Yes all Israeli society.
