"'It's a War of Cruel Rich People. Israel's Form of Combat in Gaza Is Unusually Wasteful'
Munitions-related issues that have emerged in the war in Gaza will be investigated later. In the meantime they're dictating the army's strategy and leaving Israel totally dependent on its American ally"
Meet the people who don't or won't have to be as prejudiced as their parents were, just to survive. Just to stay alive on this planet.

Sometimes, it's just because one man has been bad to others, and then not a single person in a group of people felt empowered to stand up to him, even though they are in positions of "power." Supposedly.
Groupthink and panic seems to reign instead.
And sometimes, it's other things that remind you that the patriarchy is ailing.
Like, how on Earth do you think it's good for your kids to be so bad and prejudiced against other people's children? How do you actually think that's healthy? Who convinced you that was the way to be?
It's definitely not the only way to be. At least some things on the planet might remind you of that, once in awhile.
"A child’s voice says, please help, my sister is dying, please help me.
A woman says my children are gone. Nevine asked how she knew.
'Look at them,' the woman says. One is very still, the other has a severe head wound and is either dead or dying."
~ Jeremy Bowen
"Gaza nurse..."
Meet the people who can't explain how and why they got more prejudiced against other kinds of human beings ever since they got older and / or got married and had kids.
They used to be less closed-minded, but things are different now.
Is it a self-protection mechanism?
Did they ever subconsciously feel their kids or perhaps their grandkids would need to see an example they don't or would not want to repeat?
"Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians in Gaza"
"But they contended that Thursday’s event was similar to other Microsoft-sanctioned employee giving campaigns for people in need.
We have so many community members within Microsoft who have lost family, lost friends or loved ones,” said Abdo Mohamed, a researcher and data scientist. 'But Microsoft really failed to have the space for us where we can come together and share our grief and honor the memories of people who can no longer speak for themselves.'"

Well, they really remind you of how rare it was in the historical past for someone to be the kind of person who would...
Even knowing two people in a day to day life who are much better at not being so dehumanizing and so prejudiced against the "others" really raises the bar.
Is it possible that maybe they don't know anyone in their day to day lives who are even like that?
So many hours of dehumanizing other kinds of people, just to feel more "privileged" according to the exclusionary and dehumanizing and uncaring Patriarchal standards.
"Privileged moms" never have enough time to explain why it's just so hard to help the other kinds of moms, and it's really hard to even think about somebody whose conditions may have prevented them from becoming the kind of person that they won't be biased against.
They were trained to get validation from perpetuating patterns of bias and cruelty.
It's really hard for them to take any time off from their job of propping up the Patriarchy. Nevertheless, I think they should do it for health reasons.
I don't think propping up the paycheck, sorry, that's the Patriarchal Society, is good for your health, even if you are a "privileged" person who gets more out of it than other people get out of it.
There's still time to be less cruel and less prejudiced.
Even though the values you demonstrated via the people you chose to put on a pedestal (they would have been treated much worse by you if they'd been born into a different body in this lifetime) were a hindrance to the health of humanity
(on account of the prejudices you picked up along the way)
there's still time for you to get better and be a less prejudiced person and be a better example to others and not be such a depressing symptom of insensitivity and selfishness.
Your descendants really should treat girls and women better than you did in this lifetime.
Meet the children everywhere who deserve way better than the prejudiced parents who got brainwashed into putting another untrustworthy sexual predator in a position of power.
Grandparents who would have been much, much, much better to a much, much wider variety of girls and women if they'd been raised better or rewarded more for that sort of thing.
The horrible and repetitive habits of constantly treating certain people with certain types of characteristics as superior and/or as better than others just to fulfill your personal preferences is a terrible way to communicate that you are just going along with the prejudices the Patriarchal Society expected you to demonstrate.
And then "Meet more of the shallow, sexist people (some of them are parents!) who still discriminate against girls and women, and who would only treat you better if you had different genetics, and if you were just as shallow and sexist and discriminatory towards girls and women as they are, because those are the patterns they were trained to keep on perpetuating" won't be such a repetitively dehumanizing experience.
Maybe future "heroes" won't have to routinely participate in dehumanizing so many other kinds of human beings on earth and in their society in order to get approved by their society as worthy of being celebrated.
Being better to the women with certain genetics and more money who have kids than to other kinds of human beings is also still being too cruel to girls and women as a collective. That says the Patriarchal Society trained you to treat certain kinds of women as more valuable to your Patriarchal Society than others, based on some very stringent standards.
My body needs water. I want to live in a better time. I am so tired of Patriarchal people being so cruel to girls and women.
