Pessimistic life-denying philosophies are a poison. We should embrace the world in its entirety, rather than lamenting our suffering and yearning for a more peaceful hinterland. All hail Dionysus.

Everything is either determined by something else, or indeterminate. If your action follows from a chain of purely determined things, then the action was deterministic. However, if it followed from something that was undetermined somewhere down the line, then to whatever degree the action was not deterministic, the action was random. Neither possibility entails free will.

Israel was committing genocide against the Palestinians 40 years before the existence of Hamas. When a people is occupied by a hostile foreign power, starved, murdered, forcibly deprived of basic necessities like water, displaced, and ruled by force of arms and terror, violent revolution is inevitable and expected.

Late-stage capitalism is a term largely used by those that don't understand the difference between free-market capitalism and crony capitalism. It is the duty of the state to prevent monopolies, and yet the vast majority of monopolies exist only at the behest of the state.

State ownership of the means of production is not a solution to monopolies. It is simply the largest possible monopoly, and likely to lead to the largest possible abuse.

Labor-Power is a good which is sold like any other. Therefore, unions are a necessary part of any functional free market.

Corporations are already more powerful than governments, and a free market is not in their best interests.
