We need a one-state solution but Israel has stopped every attempt at peace and reconciliation since before it was even a state. They purposefully funded Hamas and have taken key parts of the West Bank to prevent Palestine from having a state. They don't want peace. I don't know why that's so hard for people to understand, especially considering the violence they've been doing to Palestinians for years before October 7th. They put Gaza in an open air prison, cut off travel, electricity, food (they put them on a calorie limit - cruelly calling it putting them on a diet), sleep (the constant buzzing of drones made it difficult to sleep or study in Gaza and constantly traumatized them with stress and fear), Trash, water, etc. I hate the both-sidesing. Hamas is a response to horrible conditions. That's how they recruit. Israel needs to stop being an oppressor, they need to make the move or be forced to do it. It's not a both sides need to be nice kinda situation. One side is a response to the other side's violence and colonialism, one side is a symptom, not the cause.
He's pretty good on most things, except the genocide issue. Which is unfortunate because that's a big one for a whole lot of people. Which makes sense. No one will say Mussolini helped the trains run on time or Hitler's wars helped the German economy. The other bad things they did make those things seem less consequential. Genocide is like that. A lot of people here are lucky because they live in the imperial core, but for others who knows those being affected by the foreign policy, then it's priority rises even more.
I still think this place better than Reddit, though. I think a lot of the good users left, even if a majority weren't politically aligned with original Lemmy. I browse through Reddit front page links when I'm bored at work, but I rarely find good stuff in the comments like I used to. It's just mean and toxic, or vapid and pointless.
Well I like free and I really need to tighten my budget with how expensive everything is getting. Thanks for the recommendations! Now for the hard part of figuring how to change all my passwords from one manager to another lol.
I hope Biden can grow and improve quicker, like preferably before election day so a bunch of voters won't feel bad about voting for him. I really don't want Trump.
Thanks for the great summary! It answered my questions as well. I hope you don't mind but I liked your comment so much that I put it on !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world
Which I think I'll also subscribe to lol
I appreciate the clarification, but I was curious how they avoid redundancy. Luckily, for anyone else who is curious, @MerrySkeptic@sh.itjust.works put a summary of their distinctions in a comment below.
Right, but one is hoping for thousands of people to not act like people, that is emotionally to issues that effect them, and the other one is hoping for a small group of people who have shown a history of bowing to pressure continue to do so. It's much more realistic and a better avenue of effort.
Correct, but girls was their mark of differentiation. Without one, what will they do with this other organization going on their turf? Will they react? Adjust? That's what I'm saying.
What a cool system where a judge openly breaks the law for the man whok appointed her and supreme court justices openly take bribes, and there are no consequences for either.
I like how you avoid saying what the issue is, because it sounds a lot worse when you say it's genocide. I think that's a fair line in the sand to draw for people. Hopefully Biden movies on that stance soon so we don't get Trump. We all better keep pushing him.
So is there a point to the Girl Scouts now? What are they going to do? Start accepting boys? Or try to widen their activities to compete with the Boy Scouts so they don't lose membership?
Better hope that Biden bows to all this pressure and changes course then
Well keep in mind that a lot of Lemmy users (Lemmings? Lemmites? Lemmitors?) are from Reddit now. They are slightly more anticapitalist and anti-corporation, but otherwise, a lot of us are basically Redditors who took over this similar social media site.
How do they make money?
What password manager do you use? I use Keeper, but I wonder if there's a cheaper alternative that's just as good that I haven't looked into. I never hear of anyone using this one on Lemmy.
Ooh will the link be broken half the time for extra Stack Overflow experience?
You haven't even offered any counter information. You're just accusing people of lying or not researching when they're the ones pulling out actual graphs, figures, and historical facts.
Why wouldn't the Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime be cyberpunk?
