Not fall prey to eco-fash narratives on overpopulation.

Sees lemmy.world

Sees weird .ML obsession and conflation of victims fighting oppressors with their oppressors

Yeah, not surprised.

There are no good guys and bad guys.
2 groups of people who are neighbors and relatives and share a common heritage keep killing each other, mostly due to shitty rulers who have no interest in their peoples’ well-being.

Genocide isn’t bad? Palestine and Israel are just neighbors despite Israel being on land stolen by the British and Israel being propped up by western powers to oppress Palestinians?

You could say the same thing about almost any conflict.

2 groups of people who are neighbors and relatives ✓

Share a common heritage (European/German)✓

Keep killing each other ✓

Shitty rulers who have no interest in their people’s well being ✓

Seems like there were no bad guys in WW2/The Holocaust, because using power to oppress and conduct genocide isn’t what makes a bad guy apparently.

People try to complicate it (not necessarily in this thread) because they want to provide excuses for supporting the genocidal bad guys or not fully opposing them.

The truth is simple, rhe ones actively carrying out a genocide are the bad guys.

The ones resisting it, even if you disagree with their other beliefs/methods, are currently fighting for the good cause, to stop the genocide of their people.

As for

but from what I know Israel was attacked and is responding and trying to get their hostages back.

History didn’t start on oct-7, though the media would love people to think so.

Gaza has been an open air prison living under an apartheid state for decades.

Ignoring that the entire strip is practically Israeli hostages, Israel has had far more Palestinian hostages held in Israeli prisons long before oct-7. A major reasoning for the Al-aqsa flood and taking of hostages was to trade those hostages for their own back.

Why?

The one downside is that none of my pants fit and I have to cinch them with belts.

Seems like you should intentionally incorporate some squats.

No excuse for walking around like a Hank hill in 2024 smh /s

I love whoppers, candy corn, dots, and circus peanuts…

Every search engine ever is biased in the results it will show you.

You have to learn the biases and not fall prey to them.

If you think you’re using an unbiased source then all you’ve done is failed to recognize them.

At this point, the very few games that I am leaving behind are only the ones that use anticheat systems that do not work with linux, and I don’t think I’ll really miss letting a game company rootkit my macine

League of Legends continues to kill my hopes and dreams. Legitimately the only game I care about keeping access to and there’s no way vanguard works when it barely works on windows.

Harris likes:

She says silly things in between vowing to continue genocide and feeding anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Her winning would ensure Hillary can never be the first female president.

She kicked Biden out of the race.

Trump dislikes:

Almost all of his policies and rhetoric.

He’s old and kinda losing his funny/charm skill.

Elon Musk.

(There’s a 0% chance I vote for Harris and a 1% chance I vote for Trump depending on how accelerationist/spiteful towards America I’m feeling in the booth)

For reciprocal holidays like Christmas, giving cash maybe gets a little too close to exposing the pointlessness. I give you cash, then you give me cash, what are we doing here? And what if I gave you less than you gave me?

How does a gift card solve this though?

I give you Starbucks™ cash and you give me Chipotle™ cash. What are we doing here? What if I gave you more Starbucks™ cash then you gave me Chipotle™ cash?

It’s literally just money with brand loyalty.

It’s the middle thing between not gifting something specific but also no just giving money.

It’s literally just branded money.

Ah, i had the vibes from the post that it was a textbook case of “the most offensive thing you can call a liberal racist is racist”.

I believe that the death penalty is worthless.

If the crime is bad enough to kill a person anyway, why waste their productive potential? Same for locking those people up for life instead.

The mines yearn for the labour of the bourgeois.

Harris is the way forward. She’s not Trump but also SHE IS NOT BIDEN.

Yeah…

Asked whether there is anything she would have done differently than Biden over the past four years, Harris demurred.

“There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of — and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact,”

“You asked me what is the difference between Joe Biden and me — that will be one of the differences. I’m going to have a Republican in my Cabinet,”

She’s going to lose. It because people love Trump (though many do unfortunately) but because she refuses to seperate herself from the old man actively commiting genocide and herself leans to the right trying to pick up Trump supporters on issues like immigration, when they will never switch and she just disillusions people who care about those issues in the left.

If so, then here’s my opinion: If you own or manage a shop, bar, club, gym, etc., it’s reasonable to ban someone because they aren’t the sort of person you want in your establishment. Maybe they make you or your other customers uncomfortable.

I disagree with this specific aspect. I believe there should be reasons required to ban someone. Not just because you own the place and don’t want them in your place as they make you/other customers uncomfortable.

As you state above, we have had to add protections for certain groups in the past as this is literally the justification for segregation in the past. But it’s still relevant as it’s the reason homeless people (for example) en masse aren’t allowed in public places in the present, even if they’re good people who have done nothing wrong. We also see it being abused with the allowance of a few “good ones” from said protected class to avoid discrimination claims while still discriminating against the rest of said class.
