Would you say this is more or less true? If you have a strong “pro-Palestinian” view you fall into one or more of these groups: * A leftist - Israelis are “colonizers” and are therefore in the wrong * Anti-American - you resent the US for the way it has wielded its power for the last 80 years * Anti-Semitic - you believe Jewish people manipulate various aspects of the world

I have a weakly held opinion that recent advances in medicine and healthcare wouldn’t have happened as fast without fiat financing and our whacky insurance based system. But it was essentially a faustian bargain where we gained miraculous powers of healing in exchange for consumerist society, globalization of key resources, and inflation. As a species we chose to become lich kings.
