Disagreeing with your comment ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.

He would not have managed to get any support if it wasn’t for the hate and scapegoating, he’d be some unknown good guy.

Not only will starship captains and crew not be able to have sex with the hot aliens they meet

Not so fast, we do have some convenient barrier device to avoid contamination in this context.

It’s not about the difficulty, it’s that what they differentiate has philosophical consequences.

Incredibly unlikely, but possible.

I don’t think it’s incredibly unlikely working in IT in the USA.

Also all of us in the global North are supported by a chain of exploitation of labour and nature that wraps around the entire globe, which isn’t our individual fault, but is part of the reason for our relative prosperity.

Good point

I’ve never bought anything specifically because it was made in the USA because US made does not equal good quality.

Not sure about the USA, but I consider it’s more likely the ecological and social impact of the product is better if it was made in my country than in a cheap labor one.

Singular, “they” has not been taught widely to foreign learners (maybe not to native either?). I just recently learned about it myself from LGBT support content despite practicing since childhood, I never heard about it during my English lessons.
So yes indeed, many English speakers don’t know about singular they.

You can use it as a gender-neutral way to replace he/she, it still represents a single person, as opposed to plural they. Context is required to determine whom it represents.

I’m really grateful that Lemmy is hosting this kind of discussion and debate with (broadly) level heads and good faith, making well reasoned arguments.

Lemmy.world maybe, on the more leftists instances you will get dog pilled, personal attacked, threatened of violence and eventually censored and banned by moderation if you dare trigger discussion instead of being a yes-man on this kind of topic.

Their relations with world Jewry would become problematical, since their defense interests might clash at any moment with those of other countries where large number of Jews lived. Palestine Jewry would eventually separate itself from the larger body of world Jewry and in its isolation develop into an entirely new people.

Is that really notable today? I’d like to read some sources on that. It seems the diaspora keeps supporting them. For example, the big donors who threatened to stop funding USA universities if they don’t censor the protests.
In EU, I also frequently read about organizations against anti-Semitism amalgamate pro-Palestinian sentiments with anti-Semitism.

What do anti-imperialist Jew think should be done of Israel now? Any trustworthy reading about it?

That’s my interpretation, and it’s around 18-year-olds (~ my level of study in geopolitics).

Historically, Zionism is a political movement from 19th Europe century that wants to create a nation for the Jewish people as a safe haven from a long history of anti-Semitism. So it’s a nationalism centered on one ethnicity and one religion. That goes against leftist ideas (named anti-imperialism in op) which are fundamentally internationalist, against religions and against ethnical privileges. Furthermore, it requires confiscating a land and replacing whatever structure was there with a Jewish one. Although, some leftist people are not foreign to this kind of action, they would do it for an internationalist ideology that they believe would improve the life of the majority, without privileging people of a specific origin.

Reality is complicated, there are many subgroups of Zionism crossed with the whole spectrum of modern politics, from far right who just want to remove all Arabic people from Palestine and replace them with Jewish people, to left people who want to negotiate a peacful two-states solution and oppose further colonization. There are probably also a lot of Israeli who were just born there, have nothing to do with Zionism, and just want to live in peace with their neighbors.

That’s kind of what triggered my question, there’s a common misunderstanding that the fall of Rome was something brutal and with few causes (that are selected by politicians when they want to scare people). I think Rome losing its population can be explained by emigration rather than people dying.

C’est moyené 2002-2020, l’extrême droite est beaucoup plus présente ces dernières années, malheureusement les études de qualité ça prend du temps. À force de gagner de plus en plus de places à chaque élection, ils deviennent inévitables pour les médias qui souhaitent respecter le résultat du vote démocratique.
