Israel =/= Judaism

There are Jews who don’t like the government of Israel, and Israelis critical of their own country.

Regardless of the debate of whether admins should be legally liable for not deleting unknown child abuse digital files,

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think seeing a small number of pictures is going to scar you for life. I’ve seen goatse. I’ve seen people decapitated. It’s not pleasant, and I avoid those things, but it’s not scarring.

You shouldn’t use your own experiences to make this generalisation, given that people working at agencies prosecuting pederasts often have to receive therapy or even leave the job after continued exposure.

I am disturbed that people are afraid of unused images hiding on their Lemmy server.

Don’t you think it’s logical for someone to be worried about being vulnerable to being accused of what likely is, in many legal systems, a crime?

Lemmy devs may have controversal political views, but their software is written with a good intention. KiwiFarms on the other hand use it to target instances.

Let’s go even further than that. Let’s say that the most annoying people around the whole Fediverse are Hexbear. On the worst days, all they do is to organize to spam specific threads, which is indeed annoying, but that’s the extent of it. KiwiFarms is responsible for harassing people until they commit suicide for the heinous crime of being weird. Anyone aware of this who wants to associate with them has no place in civilized society.

It becomes less stupid the moment you realize Elon is angry some people are allowed not to have his bullshit forced down their throats. Then everything starts to make sense.

The pandemic got exacerbated in the US because of Trump’s dumbfuck negationist policies, but even countries with far tougher positions suffered pretty bad cases of COVID.

I think people generally agree that the drafts for the Vietnam war were not justified.

BATTLE-POPE, INITIATE COMBAT SEQUENCE.

If it’s a crime, do not fire them, lock them up in pris-

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the actions “treason” and has initiated criminal proceedings.

Oh. Oh well.

It was probably framing it like

Fun fact: All this probably happened because we stopped to geoengineer by outlawing ships blowing sulphur into the air which created additional cloud cover.

Instead of something like “we noticed the effects of climate change exceptionally this year because we stopped blowing sulphur (…)”. Yes, this is probably pedantic in a room where everyone understands anthropocentric climate change. Still, I can understand why some people might want to be extremely clear with how we use language regarding this topic, given… Everything that’s going on.

Get someone killed because you irresponsibly drunk before driving and you get sent to jail. Get someone killed because you wanted to cut costs to make more money, have a slap of the wrist and perhaps pay reparations to the family and off to home you go.

Note that the EFF is a minority party that is nowhere close to getting the government. Mandela’s party, the African National Congress, is nowhere the same at all. Don’t let idiots conflate the two.

Some important distinctions that must be made:

Resisting active colonization is a fair goal, but these people aren’t calling for the expulsion of people who consciously made the decision to invade their country, but for the ethnic cleansing of the descendants of those colonizers too, which doesn’t make it any less of a call for genocide.

Reclaiming reparations and economic justice is fair. You can do it by investigating crimes committed during apartheid and finding out which wealth comes from taking advantage of an unfair economic framework based on exploitation and racism. If you go through the route of claiming “all white people in South Africa are colonizers and therefore may be stripped of property”, the logical conclusion is that a poor white dumbfuck who was born after Mandela’s rise to power, didn’t get an inheritance of some sort, but worked hard and bought a small plot of land should receive the same treatment as Elon Musk’s father, which is an insane take and not based on a desire of economic justice, but on identitarian, racist lines.

Agreed with the take that Ukraine is going to have a difficult road ahead if they want to join the EU. But that shouldn’t be the end of the discussion. We can set up EU-Ukraine deals like we have with Norway, UK, Switzerland and many other countries in the meantime. Deals to guarantee Ukraine’s defense and to provide help in the reconstruction of the country should have high priority.

The solution will definitely require one or several bots or drones of some sort, but even the act of getting the bot inside might trigger a trap that damages the room itself. I suppose the archeologists will eventually have to request resources to set up a combined team that involves engineers.

…But mostly due to their extremely privileged position at the strait. That’s probably even more valuable than having oil.

…That’s disgusting.

So things as usual.

And the modern political class is far more aligned with employers than current and future workers, because politicians need the large financial and media networks that investors and owners control.

So you’re not going to see any kind of top-down policy change to this effect.

I disagree, actually. There are a few parties in Spain that have been supporting expansion of social security and reinforcements of worker rights during the last few years, and even though they’re either the minority part of the government, or are supporting the government from outside, they have made consistent progress. The mass media are indeed almost always pushing these parties and their positions down, but that doesn’t mean you should renounce to seek reforms within a liberal democracy - just be aware that it shouldn’t be your only field of action, and that building base level organizations are the most important stepping step to ultimately achieve country-wide changes.

Hiring practices are broken from its very basics. The vast majority of businesses consistently discriminate against people who deviate from the norm in presentation, even if the candidate meets the technical requirements or would otherwise be productive, which results in millions of people who are capable of contributing to society being pushed aside.
