I do. They let Kim be their ruler do they not?
So it's the fault of oppressed people for being oppressed?
You can take a walk through history and see oppressor and oppressed in every era. A common thread is when people are oppressed by internal forces they either revolt and take power or simply live with the oppression. Even the attempt to revolt is important.
Gaza has a two fold problem. First they ruled by Hamas who don't give a shit about them. Plenty of Palestinians hate Hamas, but not enough to make a difference. Secondly, they are oppressed by Israel due to Hamas.
They can either live with this or revolt. They've chosen to live with it.
Man, it's a real sign of living the privileged, easy life when someone thinks this way.
Those people try to revolt and they die. They don't revolt and still die. What kind of choice is that?
So it sounds like when assholes are in power people suffer and die anyways, no matter what.
Society should grow a stronger immune system to allowing these types of rulers.
Yeah they do. People that stand in front of tanks can get run over.
