He’s financially incentivized to align himself with the political agendas of Israel. This is reflected by his politics and support of Israel with money and weapons, regardless of its genocide in Palestine. He’s stealing taxmoney and giving it to Israel so that they can genocide Palestinians.

That’s enough to denounce him.

His financial incentives backs it up. https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary?cycle=All&ind=Q05&recipdetail=S

Biden has received at least $4,261,010 from Israeli lobbying.

Why are all the protesters women and the guards men in this picture? I feel that this picture left out all the men in the protest, or the men are being irresponsible by letting women stand on the front-line, so to speak. I feel that it’s the former.

Where does this picture come from exactly?

I don’t want to say “I told you so”, but I told you so.

I wouldn’t take this comment as anything but an anecdote. This is how some homeless people can be, so the take away is that the homelessness problem cannot be completely solved with housing. Some people are just cripplingly dysfunctional. They need more than housing, they need care takers. Just handing out keys to an apartment next to families to a dysfunctional drug addict who will smoke, vandalize and play loud music at night is not fair to the neighbors. These are normal middle-class people complaining, not some billionaire who can’t stand the sight of a peasant lol.

Interesting quotes:

At the request of the English National Health Service, the senior pediatrician Hilary Cass has completed the most thorough consideration yet of this field, and her report calmly and carefully demolishes many common activist tropes. Puberty blockers do have side effects, Cass found. The evidence base for widely used treatments is “shaky.” Their safety and effectiveness are not settled science.

…

We also don’t have strong evidence that social transitioning, such as changing names or pronouns, affects adolescents’ mental-health outcomes (either positively or negatively). We don’t have strong evidence that puberty blockers are merely a pause button, or that their benefits outweigh their downsides, or that they are lifesaving care in the sense that they prevent suicides.

…

We don’t know why the number of children turning up at gender clinics rose so dramatically during the 2010s, or why the demographics of those children changed from a majority of biological males to a majority of biological females.

…

Medicalized gender treatments for minors became wrapped up with a push for wider social acceptance for transgender people, something that was presented as the “next frontier in civil rights,” as Time magazine once described it. Any questions about such care were therefore read as stemming from transphobic hostility, full stop.

Blocking Data Scraping

They need to keep all that data for themselves so that they can sell it.

They can just pin Reddit users against reality. That will do the trick.

Remember that Reddit also started off small, then grew, then got bought, then turned into shit (*). However, I think that Lemmy has a greater chance of surviving as long as people keep everything truly decentralized. We shouldn’t all flock to “lemmy.world” or any other one Lemmy instance. Because if we do, that specific Lemmy instance will also be sold (along with the userbase) and turned into a corporate money-making machine.

(*) Some would argue that Reddit has always been shit, but that’s besides the point…
