The Currency's value is not based on government decree but they do have the ability to alter it by changing the money supply though the value can change independent of their actions. Frankly, having a fiat currency that represents a portions of that nations economic output makes alot more sense than something like precious metals but the guardians of that fiat currency in the US have class interests that stand at odds with most of the country and the use of the US dollar as a reserve currency was a temptation that America couldn't handle.

The DNC will never do anything that might break their Duopoly on power but Town and County elections often have Democrats who would. Not enough but it's a start. Actual grass roots elections at this level can move the dial.

White Boomers grew up in and received the full benefit of the American Golden Age. Conservatives offer "the good old days" and most Boomers can't understand those good old days came from The New Deal and other 1930s legislation which conservatives put to the torch.

This is a conscious decision on the part of the two major parties to move the Overton window to benefit their wealthy backers, not savvy politicians "responding to market conditions".

It's a horrible idea both from an ethical standpoint and from the practical standpoint

In this case she's not hating on religion in general but on a specific religion while ignoring the other two major God of Abraham religions (Judaism and Christianity) that broadly share the same beliefs. If I talk shit, its about the whole Judeo-Christo-Islam.

Netanyahu is still unpopular and faces prosecution if the war ever stops. Israelis just support Genocide because it's gotten more and more religiously conservative over time and their religion states:

Deuteronomy 20: 16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy[a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. 18 Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the Lord your God.

The struggle in South Africa wasn't a struggle against Genocide which has always been Netanyahu's goal and is in the final stages of being enacted. If and when the international community comes around, there will be no one left to save.

Some people define the two sides as Hamas and Israel which is awkward cause I can't criticize Hamas for wanting to fight the Israelis but I can criticize them for being a Right Wing organization set up and funded by the Israelis to weaken the PLO and Palestinian unity.
