Thousands of Israelis joined a far-right Independence Day march on Tuesday in the south, led by Jewish activists advocating for resettling Gaza and forcing Palestinians to leave the enclave....
You mean the manifest destiny that was a direct inspiration for lebensraum, the Nazi expansionist policy? That manifest destiny?
I’m sorry I just think it’s funny how fast that comparison comes full circle. It’s not even a circle, it’s a triangle.
I don’t know, maybe comparing Israel’s genocide to another genocide that is itself comparable to Nazi genocide is somehow not antisemitic, but I doubt people who call people antisemitic over this sort of thing would see it that way.
Police dogs are, very much so. Like, not consciously. They don’t understand what they’re doing and it’s their owners that are ultimately responsible for using them essentially as prejudice amplifiers and probable cause generators, but the racism they get taught absolutely does harm.
If it helps, that’s not monkeys inventing capitalism, it’s monkeys responding to a system of currency that was enforced on them by scientists. That’s a very different thing.
Essentially what they’ve discovered is an example of the logic of capitalism reproducing itself within those it subjugates.
If they did it still wouldn’t be capitalism. Capitalism isn’t just when market, and I don’t know why it’s important that sex is the thing being offered except to make it sound worse because our society hates sex workers.
Fair, it just seems like the people using this example are leaning hard into the “prostitution” angle. I didn’t mean to imply you were bringing it up because you personally hate sex workers or anything.
I dunno, you “park” with enough velocity and you could definitely describe the location of the boat as a distribution.
EDIT: When I wrote this comment I tried to imagine how one would do this. Perhaps against a rocky shore, or falling off a trailer on the highway? But then these guys came into my recommendation feed and said, “nah, like this”: youtu.be/zlFH3aC7Z_c?t=741
Ask why a historical monument has to rely on advertising dollars to be repaired. Why the kinds of organisations that would put a garish ad billboard over the top are the ones with all the power in our society.
Just because the billboard is funding repairs doesn’t mean it’s good. It’s emblematic of how much is being hoarded by capitalists.
Because accuracy requires that you make a reasonable distinction between truth and fiction, and that requires context, meaning, understanding. Hell, full humans aren’t that great at this task. This isn’t a small problem, I don’t think you solve it without creating AGI.
It was a train conductors’ meeting, they hold it on board a moving train, which is scary because all the conductors are at the meeting so nobody’s available to actually drive. Entire generations of conductors have been lost this way.
Here is another way in which liberals will disappoint you with their lack of political education. There’s liberals, conservatives and tankies, and no other options I guess.
Tell me, can you provide me with your definition of the word “tankie”? Because they are a specific thing that represents a fringe pariah of the radical left.
Yeah but… I mean nominally they claim to be leftist. Honestly I think a lot of them are ideologically on the side of workers but they’re misguided. I don’t think you could claim the same thing for actual fascists, which is why I don’t like the term “red fash”. There are red fash, but they’re actual nazbols, not just people who have fallen victim to revisionism.
Uuuhhhhh wait. So there have been 17 new versions released and people with 7.6 installs just missed it? I think I still have a 7.6 install and this is the first I’ve heard of this. I would love to know the history of how people are being advised to go from 7 to 24.
I think it would make sense to have a specialised forum for it. The question & answer format requires data that Lemmy just isn’t able to fully replicate as it is.
Also the community editable nature of stack exchange is really unique and more like a wiki than a standard forum/branching discussion threads, where we’re presumed to have sole ownership of all of our posts.
Basically any member is allowed to edit anyone else’s question or answer. The changes may go up before or after review by mods depending on the member’s trust level. I’ve had my questions changed before. It can be kind of annoying but I understand they’re doing it to maintain some level of quality.
No, there are a number of differences. There’s questions & answers under which there are comments, and a bunch of other functionality. It’s so different to a standard threaded forum that you may as well build a new system from scratch. I honestly think it would be less work than trying to shoehorn lemmy into this role, and have another fediverse ecosystem built around it.
This idea that anonymity breeds toxicity seems to be a piece of received wisdom that people just assume, but I would honestly love to know if there’s any real information to back it up.
Oh you mean how echo chambers get created. Yeah, that’s almost entirely down to Facebook’s scummy algorithms, not an inherent feature of people. Facebook had tools to prevent the spread of hate on their platform and noticed they reduced revenue so they turned them off. This is entirely down to that platform being controlled by a single entity with no regard for the people who use it.
