From Detroit down to Houston
And New York to L.A.
Where's pride in every American heart

And it's time we stand and sayyyyyyy 🇺🇸
That I'm proud to be an American

Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
bro tryna be American so hard 💀 💀 💀

U do realise this proves opposite to ur point, the fact that Palestine is a non observing member DIRECTLY MEANS that palestinians are barred from practicing their right to self determination.

who’s the oppressed one? U think Palestine just up and left the UN one day?
Israel needs more financial aid

for example in australia both major parties oppose significant climate action
The reason climate change hasnt been well managed is more the fault of the left as opposed to the right. The initiatives to fight climate change make peoples lives harder and more expensive. It's hard to win people over when your solution is actively making things more difficult for people. Same can be said for many things the left pushes and fails to sell. If this election shows anything, it's the failure of the Democrats to create a pragmatic policy mix.

I will give you a real world example. It's the beginning of the month in the enoilgam household. Enoilgam and the Missus open up our paychecks - $350 more a week in the hand than 5 years ago (yay winning). Then I head to the shop to buy 5 things for dinner - $60 (it was less than $30 five years ago). When I get to the checkout, I think "shit no plastic bags to carry it", so I can either tetris carry it to the car, or pay those thieves an extra $1 for the paper bag (like an idiot, I get the bag). On the way home I fill up the trusty Camry, fuel is $2 a litre (compared to $1.30 5 years ago). While Im in the servo, Im feeling hot so I decide to buy a slushie. It comes with an "environmentally friendly" paper straw that shits itself after 5 minutes meaning Im fishing out my slushie like an asshole. Then I carry my groceries inside and the equally shit paper back breaks spilling my shit everywhere.

Now Im inside and its bill day. Council rates, $550 (up $200), car insurance, $70 (up from $50) and the electricity bill $1,100 (up from like $500). I think to myself boy, that sucks. Then I get the big bertha, the mortgage bill - a whopping $2,000 a month more expensive (also new environmental regs added about $40k to my new home build). After all that, suddenly some orange/blonde grifter might be appealing with his promise to sack the fed chair, lower grocery prices and burn cheap ass coal.

People ultimately are selfish, if you want better environmental regs you need to make damn sure that they dont negatively impact people's lives. You also cant expect people to feel happy about a government fussing about the environment when your own costs are skyrocketing.

Preach.

I want Woolworths and Coles to bring back plastic bags. It’s also time to ban paper straws and bring back plastic. Also open new coal mines. All of these will make ppls lives easier 😭

Climate change is in the hands of those big multinational corporations, not govts and people.
