  1. This is horrible advice and even worse logic. “Cold approach” doesn’t mean you feel entitled to sex. That’s like saying a cold sales call means you’re acting entitled to sales. It literally just means approaching someone you don’t know. Stop accusing men of being entitled for having basic desires and wanting to seek opportunities to fulfill them. That’s NOT entitlement, it’s just you using shaming language to avoid addressing the problem. ”just follow your goals and women will come”, no they won’t, this largely doesn’t work, women rarely make the first move and if they do it’s not going to be your best option. you also are framing it like it’s a binary choice, it isn’t, nothing about doing cold approach stops you from having a high conscious goal or vice versa. That’s like saying “don’t go to parties in college, instead study”, most people will balance both. We evolved for horn dog and entitled men to get sexual success. Evolutionarily the men who got success were the ones who felt entitled to the women and thus had the confidence to approach, and the ones horny enough to be motivated to do it. Civilization put on the breaks with things like arranged marriage yes, but that’s gone now, if a guy wants true success he has to master the roots of what’s attractive biologically.
  2. Because there are 10-20 women men consider attractive for every 1 guy women consider high social status or with great game.
  3. 1. If that was true Israel’s government wouldn’t spend money on online units to correct the record. 2. By that logic the entire online political forum here and everywhere is pointless and everyone should stop talking
  4. Again you are strawmanning. What you fail to consider is 1) the US funds the IDF not Hamas, it makes sense to focus on what we ourselves are involved in and 2) Israel is the occupying and blockading force, so yes they hold more blame Why would Hamas no longer being in power create a possibility for change if as you said every other faction isn’t incentivized to change? Lets assume Hamas is replaced by a party that gives up armed resistance, what changes, they already have that in the West Bank with the PLO and they’re seemingly on the verge of getting replaced by a armed resistance faction given their massive unpopularity, its only not happening because of the IDF’s brutal repression. No it’s not simple. The reason Oct 7 happened was because Israel thought it took out Hamas’s ability to stage attacks so they loosened guards in the Gazan border. Hamas being thrown out of power isn’t going to make it any easier to steer things in the right direction. Israel doesn’t want to change directions which is why they refused to deal with Hamas politically which is why Hamas resorts to violence. You’re also ignoring the main argument for the cease fire, it is for humanitarian reasons, there are hundreds of thousands of Gaza’s at risk of starvation, they are amputating the limbs off of children without anesthesia. Even putting aside long term political goals, a cease fire even if temporary is the correct option to save tens of thousands of innocent lives. If Israeli’s were the ones being slaughtered no one would say “don’t bother with a cease fire, the fighting will just happen again anyway”.
  5. No he isn’t https://www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releases/news-sanders-urges-president-biden-to-withdraw-support-for-10-1-billion-in-military-aid-to-israel-and-support-un-efforts-for-a-humanitarian-ceasefire/
  6. Joe Biden could cause a cease fire with one phone call
  7. Giving aid to civilians isn’t the same as supporting Hamas militarily. The left, and even the right frankly, have been predicting this forever. We already settled into a pattern of Israel refuses to budge and offer a path to peace and ending the blockade, hamas attacks usually because of Israeli provocations the media refuses to consider, Israel bombards Gaza. The only difference is Hamas pulled off a much bigger attack. Israel’s government decided it seeks expansion over security and the population completely fell for the demonization, they cannot be reached at this point. The majority of Israeli’s now support Gazans being expelled, they want ethnic cleansing. The left cannot convince them, they can only pressure the US to pressure Israel. That’s only if the ceasefire is all that is done. If efforts are made to actually create a path to a political solution, it may be avoided. Also as I’ll explain later, not having a ceasefire doesn’t lead to a different outcome either. Hamas emerged due to the conditions the Palestinians are in and engage in violence because they don’t have a political solution. Even if Hamas is destroyed, the conditions are there for another similar violent group to take its place. calls to destroy hamas by the Israeli government is clearly just to give them a war aim that justified indefinitely extending the war and engaging in as much ethnic cleansing as possible, how exactly do we know when hamas is destroyed? It is an ideology. Many former IDF and Israeli politicians themselves openly admit it’s unclear if Israel can completely destroy hamas. How many decades of violence should we support them to see if they can pull it off? Even if a cease fire causes just a temporary pause in violence, that is more than worth it. It could mean saving the lives of the hostages and create space for diplomacy. Israel has slaughtered 20,000 Palestinians and is on the verge to double that, so saying they should at least consider taking a break between this means I don’t care their lives? Doesn’t really make sense. It is simple logic that creating worse conditions than the conditions that created Hamas will not be beneficial in the long term. If no one of real influence is suggesting it, it doesn’t matter and sounds like a deflection. That’s actually the opposite of what’s true. Israel’s motives are very clear and obvious as we can see their direct plans, they regularly make statements directly to the media or that get leaked to the media. You just have to ignore the obvious propaganda. Hamas on the other hand is much harder to understand. Your description of their motives shows this, they aren’t wild animals without a plan, they have clear motivations and tactics for what they are doing. What I keep trying to explain is they engage in violence because political avenues for them are blocked as Israel refuses to negotiate with them because they don’t want to lead towards a state and considered them a terrorist organization. It’s a obvious ploy to justify backing them into a corner so they use violence to further justify Israel in refusing a state and bombarding Gaza. - that doesn’t matter, a war with Hezbollah and Houti’s will kill many Israeli’s even if they win, these groups have far more soldiers and resources than Hamas and Israel would have to fight them both at once while also being tied up in Gaza and trying to suppress the West Bank from fighting back while settlers murder them. - Israel already rejected a third party or joint occupying force in Gaza. A moderate government is not going to form after so many have been killed, they are being occupied, and they have no path to a political solution because Israel clearly wants to ethnically cleanse them.
  8. 1. We are only responsible for what we do, not what others do. Right now the US isn’t supporting and funding Hamas, it is funding and supporting the IDF, therefore criticizing Hamas will change nothing as we don’t influence them. But as US citizens, or citizens of other countries backing Israel, we can influence our governments and how they deal with Israel. (It was actually the Israeli government which funded Hamas to divide the Palestinians between them and the PLO, literally funding a organization that killed Jews because it hurt a two state solution…) 2. Who is benefiting from no cease fire? Netanyahu, as long as the war is going Israeli’s have to unite behind him and he won’t be pushed out of office. Should we not be a little skeptical of claims a cease fire can’t be an option pushed by a head of state who personally stands to benefit from it? the other group benefiting are future extremists. The majority of Hamas militants were orphans raised by hamas. Israel has already created more orphans than any conflict in recent memory. Hamas had 36 percent popularity in Gaza before the war, now its 52 percent. In the West Bank, it’s over 70 percent now. Keep in mind Hamas took over in Gaza because the Palestinians were tired of PLO corruption, what happens if the West Bank overthrows the PLO and installs a militant group to defend them from settlers who are massacring them? This just creates another situation as or more dangerous than Gaza for Israel. who is being hurt by it? The Palestinians, they’ve already lost over 15,000 civilians and many more permanently injured. They are now at risk of hundreds of thousands starving or dehydrating because most aid is blocked. The Israeli’s, the war is putting them at greater risk because Hamas is firing rockets and it’s increasing tensions with Hezbolla and the Houtis. The IDF, they’ve lost nearly 200 in fighting already and admit the war is going to get more brutal as they now have to actually penetrate deeper neighborhoods in Gaza and do more on the ground operations because they’ve already bombed nearly every target. The hostages, they’ve already lost dozens in the bombing or getting killed and even the idf can’t secure their safety even if they escape as they already accidentally killed 3 who were literally shirtless, waving white flags and yelling for help in Hebrew, 3. why should Israel not be pressured to ceasefire? Every country except for the USA and Israel backed a ceasefire resolution. In the USA even though the majority support Israel, a significant majority polled said they want a ceasefire. The governments are supposed to represent the people. If the people want a ceasefire, they should be pressuring Israel for it. 4. If the Palestinians had a path to a state before this and Israel was willing to deal with Hamas politically this wouldn’t have happened. Do you think oct 7 happened out of nowhere, or perhaps the fact the blockade on Gaza had almost half of the population unemployed, most water resources contaminated, thousands of Gazans killed in just the last 20 years every time Israel bombarded Gaza, and hundreds injured or killed when Gazans attempted a peaceful protest in 2018, all had something to do with it. Killing Palestinians doesn’t reduce violence towards Israel, it increases it, and they’ve killed more now than ever before. Israel containing to refuse to give them a path to safety and survival and just going for ethnic cleansing just leads them to back hamas as their only option. 5. Who on breaking points, tyt, Sam Seder, or any other major progressive show suggested all of Israel should migrate to America, give me an example. why do you find random Internet progressive opinions ridiculous as compared to what Israel is currently doing, they just killed by their own admittance well over 10K civilians and are now saying they are on the verge of a 7 front war. They openly say they will blockade any ability for the Palestinians to have a state. Let’s say Israel gets to do whatever they want, which is basically what’s happening, they’re headed for a situation where they’ve orphaned thousands in Gaza and West Bank, made the blockade and occupation even more brutal and strict, and will further refuse an political solution. Even if they destroy Hamas, a new group, probably even worse will emerge. That’s not even mentioning if they pull Iran and Syria into a war, they just assassinated a top Iranian general in Syria. A advisor for the Middle East in CNN said he’s never seen the level of anger at Israel and the USA in the Middle East as he does now. Keeping in mind the amount of extremist groups is much greater and have way more area of operations than pre 9/11after the Iraq and Afghanistan war, the toppling of Gadafi, and civil war in Syria. What happens if this causes a 9/11 like event in the USA? Imagine what America would do, understanding how massive the response was when 9/11 happened at a far more stable time. Unlike progressive online opinions on what should happen, this is literally what is happening right now.
  9. You haven’t actually engaged with any of their opinions or arguments, you’re just straw manning and misunderstanding the points of the pro-Palestinian side and assuming that makes you wiser, it doesn’t.
  10. Listen to break through pain by Shinzen Young and read the way out
  11. Hamas offered to release all the hostage in exchange for all of Israel’s Palestine prisoners and a cease fire.
  12. If Israel accepted the cease fire deal they wouldn’t be.
  13. As of now they changed their charter to no longer call for the destruction of Israel. Maybe they’re saying it now but that’s because Israel is at war with them. What should be the focus, the hypothetical possibility hamas would want to end Israel even if Palestinians had a state, or the fact Israel right now is refusing to give Palestinians a state and trying to ethnically cleanse them. If Israel just keeps repeating the current status quo of blockading and torture, followed by an attack from Palestinians, followed by brutal Israel response, there will never be peace. If we can’t listen to public statements then Israel should just violently occupy Palestinians forever because they may attack Israel? If hamas is what’s standing in the way of Israel giving them a state, why did Palestinians not get a state before Hamas was founded? Why was the West Bank not turned into its own state and freed from occupation and settlers after Hamas was driven out? Why isn’t Israel offering Palestinians a state if Hamas steps down?
  14. The Israel government is a larger obstacle to peace if we are being honest. Netanyahu openly brags about stopping a two state solution. Prior to Oct 7 Hamas tried to push for political solutions and changed their charter to no longer call for ending Israel. Israel refused to respond to peaceful protests or attempts at political solution because they want to force Gazans to have no option but violence to justify a violent response.
  15. Find a guy who is rich but nervous and needy around you.
  16. remove settlers and occupation from West Bank and give them a state, demand Hamas come to the negotiation table and offer if they turn in hostages and participate in war crime trials on both sides from a mutually agreed third party then they will be allowed full aid to Gaza, a demilitarized state with a mutually agreed upon third party protection. If Hamas doesn’t want to participate work with the UN on a plan to expell them and turn Gaza against them instead of closer. Alternatively dissolve the ethnostate of Israel and give West Bank and Gazans a path to equal rights in a secular Israel. Or at the least agree with Hamas’s initial hostage exchange proposal, stop the bombing which serves no military objective, allow full aid to stop hurting the civilians, and have the IDF expel the settlers from West Bank instead of supporting their onslaught. And stop recklessly bombing Syria and Yemen and pursue a ceasefire with them instead of risking spreading the war.

  18. Perhaps you can find them for free Ultimate man project also has a 2 week free trial for their program and girls chase has a cheap cold approach guide
  19. It doesn’t, it depends on how quickly and efficiently you learn. If you do the same bad habits 1,000 times you won’t get any better, if you are looking for good advice and regularly testing different ways you can get better much faster.
