If there are 2 buttons, and both will result in the commission of Genocide, you don’t press either button. This is why this meme wouldn’t work in its usual context if the buttons said that.
Any voter or potential voter who has moral principles and values should withhold support for any candidate who supports or enables the most serious crime known to humanity.
If a political opponent of Adolf Hitler was vying for election in Germany in 1932 or 1933, and that political opponent also had the same views towards Jews and/or other ethnic, racial, religious and national groups as Adolf Hitler, with the same intention to commit and use the power of their office to facilitate genocide against those groups as the NSDAP has, you don’t vote for that other candidate, even if they maintain free elections within a fascist Germany. On principle, every person has a moral responsibility not to support, nor facilitate the crime of Genocide. A true democracy allows for true political expression of the population and doesn’t force its electorate to back a Genocide.
I hope I’m not being OTT or patronizing. When talking about an ongoing Genocide against a group it’s off to reduce the (unfortunately) political issue of Genocide prevention to the less serious language used in US domestic politics. And there ought not to be a reason why Palestine is less important than Ukraine or Russian influence in Europe. I mean Palestine is fucked right now and has been since 1948. Why would European people let Palestine be fucked for decades since it doesn’t affect Europe but care about Ukraine since it does? I dunno such a shit situation.
How is it remotely sane to give support to any candidate who backs an ongoing genocide? It’s only sane to do so if you’re apathetic to the said victims of genocide and know that their ghosts won’t affect you after they’ve been murdered by the politicians you’ve elected.
I am an Xer who manages a small but crucial team at my workplace (in an EU country). I had a lady resign last week, and I have another who may be about to resign or I may have to let go due to low engagement. They are both Gen Z. Today it hit me: the five years I’ve been managing this department, the only people I’ve lost...
This post seems ridiculous to me. If you would like to know why your employees are unhappy then why would you ask random strangers on the internet why they are leaving your company? If your (or anyone’s) workplace culture discourages employees to air grievances then you aren’t entitled to know why they would like to switch companies. Most likely, I think that young people don’t wish to be percieved or talked about as whiny (or any other words you can use), in the event that they raise issues which management or colleagues view as unimportant or inconsequential for the company. I’m also curious as to how you know that your Millennial team members are happy, as opposed to working just because they need the money and don’t see better opportunities elsewhere.
Recently there have been some discussions about the political stances of the Lemmy developers and site admins.

As a Scottish person, I've been tripped up by the slur filter only twice. Once was when I used the c word to describe Dominic Raab (I still stand by that), and the other was when I used twit by with an A instead of an I. I genuinely had no idea that it actually meant vagina! I've heard it since I was a child and had no idea what it actually meant.
Still, you can't really complain about it, it's more of a trivial thing to people who aren't being offensive.
Why is Lemmy, with a tiny fraction of Mastodon's MAU, more fun than Mastodon?
