    I don’t think that number is surprising. Living in China e.g. 40 years ago would have sucked, so as mentioned in the article you posted, living conditions have basically continuously improved for people. I expect that number will drop in the upcoming decades (although IDK to what extent). It’s worth noting the studies were basically pre-COVID.

    Also, pointing out that China has other political parties is worthless since they basically can’t do anything.










  • She doesn’t really seem to be saying there’s much nuance. What she is saying is she doesn’t know how to make an entertaining video with the mess, she doesn’t want to accidentally contribute to anti-semitism (by having it lumped in with anti-Zionism), and she feels like just screaming about it online doesn’t actually help Palestinians. You can argue about whether these points should really stop her from making a video, but it doesn’t mean she thinks Israel is justified from some angle.
