    Oh man, everything. I’m fairly old, but there’s always more to learn.

    The first thing that comes to mind is how someone can be against Palestinians being oppressed and displaced. Then, when they push back get hit with a disproportionate respone. However, when it comes to Russians attacking Ukrainians on their own soil, it’s ok. Maybe I’m missing some history here, but I seem to be in the minority that is pro-Palestine and pro-Ukraine. People should be able to forge their own destinies.

    Something else: I’ve seen first hand the downside of late-stage capitalism, but any time I dig into some alternatives I start to have trouble seeing some issues such as how those ideas can scale. Then I hit the “death to America” wall.

    Honestly, a lot of this is new to me since joining Lemmy, so I’m still figuring things out.
