Nice tit.

USA has a large population of Jews. Not all are zionists, in fact there have been many anti-zionist Jews protesting against Israel's genocide of Palestinians. However, some are zionists. Some Jews see Israel as a backup plan - if shit goes south in the USA they can always flee there.
USA has a lot of evangelical Christians. Somehow (it's not in the Bible) they have convinced themselves that a Jewish return to the Holy Land is necessary before the end of the world happens. Which they want to happen, because they believe they are the good guys and will go to heaven.
USA has a lot of racists. They see Israel as an ethnostate, they like that and support it. Their hatred of brown people is stronger than their hatred of Jews so they are happy to see Israel oppress Palestinians.
USA also has anti-semites who are glad to see a place exist where Jews "should" go to. And they are ecstatic that Israel's genocide of Palestinians is igniting a new wave of anti-semitism.
Many Americans also see Israel as the only democracy in the middle east. It isn't a democracy, of course, since it has de facto control over Palestine and therefore a huge population is disenfranchised. But wait - rights only for a certain group of people, oppression for the rest - that's like America when it was "great" (ie pre-Civil Rights era) and they want America "great again".
Lactose is my lover who turned toxic but who I can't cut out of my life. Every now and again I send em a "u up", we reconnect, I end up with my asshole hurting. Wait am I still talking about lactose?
Went sober.
For me it was a small change. I was having a drink here and there, maximum 3 beers a night. I just found that it made me feel like shit the next morning even after having one, and I no longer enjoyed the feeling of even a mild buzz. There was also a huge relief at not having to figure out which situation to drink in or not. Do I have a drink at this birthday party? After a hard day? While barbecuing? If I am just sober the answer is always no, so it eliminates one choice.
China reversed its one-child policy and people there are having even fewer kids.
Latin America isn't at the replacement rate of 2 children per couple any more. You know, the continent with all those Catholics? They aren't having kids.
Only Africa now is above the replacement rate. Likely not for long.
Human population will peak way sooner than expected.
What will Western billionaires do when the flow of poor brown people stops? They're dependent on them for cheap labour and to deflect blame onto.
Yes, Loblaws, Sobeys and gang are gouging everyone.
But climate change is a big factor in rising food prices too.
Remember olive oil going up in price? Crop failure due to bad weather.
Orange juice? Disease due to climate change.
Coffee prices rising right now? Take a guess.
It's only beginning.
The world has hit 1.5 degrees of heating on average, but the heat is not evenly distributed. If you're in the northern US states or Canada where you used to have to wear a jacket, the climate has already heated up 2-3 degrees. In the Arctic more like 4.
