My bad, for some reason I had it in my mind it was similar situation to reservations in the US. Technically independent, but technically kind of not.

I’m sure that would have no negative side effects for the rest of Israel /s 🙄

Nature will be fine, it’s not it’s first rodeo.

Humanity might be fucked though.

Catholics are one of America’s og boogeyman. They used to fear the idea of a catholic president who could be influenced by the pope. I’m not sure when that went away.

I’ve heard the same from a university professor.

I think his wording was pretty close to “their ‘don’t give a shit’ factor is through the roof”

Honestly, similar with my work too. Covid seemed to amplify the idea for lots of people that ‘they don’t give a shit about you’ so people just stopped killing themselves trying so hard.

I always actually liked the second one better.
