The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Another comment was just censored again on YouTube. As this board is for speech that is censored elsewhere, I will copy paste what was censored to here:

Contrasting what is constantly drummed into us, Yemem appear to be morally well ahead, in terms of foreign policy, than ourselves, and arguably more moral than any country I can think of. This seems an absurd statement. But they are the only country risking their existence to help Palestine by applying pressure with actions and not only words.

They continually state that their trade embargos will end instantly if we simply stop bombing Palestine. We continually ignore their requests. This requirement is censored from our media and they are instead framed as just randomly applying force without any purpose. Or we just use ad hominem phrases such as “Iran proxies” (whoooo..) to reframe the debate away from their embargos on our trade having any possibility of legitimacy.

There embargos started as peaceful attempts to divert traffic as their bargaining power in asking that we stop bombing Palestine, but as we just fire at them they reciprocate by using force rather than backing down.

Of course this follows a very long history of asking us kindly, and naturally just being laughed at. They rightly have come to learn the only thing we understand is force.

Instead of us agreeing to their request, and having the trade embargos by the Yemeni lifted by ending our bombing of Palestine, and having no bombing anywhere, we instead censor their request to our public, reply no and bomb both Yemen and Palestine instead of following their peace demands.

The above text was censored on our US public platform YouTube which also underlines some of my arguments. Free speech has gone.
