Biden: ‘My hope is by next Monday, we’ll have a ceasefire’ - JNS.org
The words of a man who isn’t allowed to tell you to fuck off with these off topic questions every single fucking time he’s awake. If only journalists and protesters hounded Trump even half as hard as they do to Biden, then maybe we wouldn’t be on the precipice of fascism.
When did cultural appropriation get cool again? | Adam Segal | The Blogs
‘It’s shocking how quickly the narrative shifts from “speech is violence” to endorsing the complete eradication of a nation. How unfortunate that those with such privilege and influential positions stand on the wrong side of history and disregard their own stipulations, clinging to misguided stances and denial of recorded events, driven by pride and a refusal to acknowledge their faults. These same people who call for the de facto erasure of Israel from the map seem to be willfully ignorant of the fact that an actual genocide occurred on Western soil – a genocide so foul that in the proceeding 75 years, the global population of Jews has yet to reach the peak of 17 million preceding the Holocaust.’ https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/unveiling-bias-the-fight-against-cultural-hypocrisy/
It may be a little simplistic to say the poor have more compassion and honesty than the wealthy. But one things for sure, I trust the poor a whole lot more than I do the middle class and the wealthy. The things that class privileged people and whites of all classes say is straight cruelty. They are cruel people. They would be the ones to welcome Hitler had this been during his reign. They wouldn't even admit to being blinded by hate. #holocaust#hate#inequality#classism#racism#hitler#trump
@shekinahcancook@gentrifiedrose paying the government via credit card has made this fee apparent since they usually pass it right on to you (who else are you gonna pay?)
Defeating genocidal Hamas is noble, not genocide - JNS.org
“He also described how difficult the fight is against Hamas. Spencer elaborated, saying that “no military in modern history has faced over 30,000 urban defenders in more than seven cities using human shields and hiding in hundreds of miles of underground networks purposely built under civilian sites while holding hundreds of hostages.” In addition, Hamas has fired approximately 15,000 rockets at civilian targets in Israel and continues to do so.”
The Jewish state as effigy | Daniel G. Saunders | The Blogs
“Claiming Israel is colonialist, white supremacist, genocidal is how protestors cleanse their own middle class white guilt” https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/effigy/
"The #European Court of Human Rights on Tuesday ruled that #Belgium’s bans on the slaughter of animals without stunning neither interfere with freedom of religion nor constitute discrimination, a ruling that shocked the European #Jewish Association, the largest federation of Jewish communities in #Europe."
So let me be more clear about this. I'm all for defederating the Bluesky bridge -- if that's what you want to do.
However, I'm seeing a lot of people say, "Every server that uses ActivityPub must defederate from Bluesky because this is a safe space for marginalized people."
But if that's true, why have so many marginalized people come to an ActivityPub-enabled server, and ended up leaving because they felt this wasn't a space for them?
Specifically, I saw quite a lot of Black people encounter racism on certain Mastodon servers and then migrate over to Bluesky because Bluesky felt like a safer space for them. Sure, in many ways Bluesky has worse moderation policies than ActivityPub-enabled Fediverse, but they also found Bluesky to be safer for them.
And we have to ask ourselves: why, on a place that has questionable moderation, do they encounter more safety than here?
It may be true that the ActivityPub-enabled Fediverse may offer a safe space for some marginalized people, but certainly not for everyone who is marginalized. Frankly, if there's safety here for some people but not others, is it all that safe to begin with?
@legion303@seldohttps://23khz.babka.net/report?r=j.bl expand the details for info. The gist is that reducing this to “Jews murdering children” is blood libel. It’s like when the pro-forced-birth people accuse others of slaughtering innocent babies whenever they get medical procedures done
