I’ve been banned from too many communities already. Fuck Lemmy mods, makes this place worse than Reddit.
I have had you tagged as communist for like 2ish months so I don’t really care
I’m not in agreement with that either. I don’t agree that native Americans were involved in a genocide. I would imagine most people would agree with that. It’s a whatabout to me because it’s not even in a similar circumstance. If you look at actual examples of genocide it doesn’t look like native America or Gaza.
What about Lemmy users too. Or what about the word redditor? I don’t like that word obviously. But really what about the word stricken cuz that triggers me
But what about this other thingggggg it’s completely relevanttt what about this thing tho it’s just like this what about that thing remember that thing? Oh my I know it doesn’t really have to do anything to do with this but what about that
It was literally like 1 day after an invasion. You need to recognize that emotions came to play.
As for your genocide of indigenous Americans, it’s a completely different topic. Don’t whatabout here please.
Technically you aren’t brain dead but some might say you are brain dead. Is that the same thing?
This story reads kind of weird. At first they make it seem like it was some gay love affair gone wrong and it’s quickly spins to his connection on some website to travelling to meet with potential murderers in different states? All over the course of what 1 year? Strange
I think Lemmy likes perpetuating a particular propaganda that keeps reiterating the same talking points until they are engraved in your brain. Genocide is an extremely specific judgement that requires both evidence of specific intent and specific action. You can make claims to one but not to both. The intent doesn’t match the action.
If there was an intent to destroy Gaza and all it’s inhabitants Israel would have done so already. I probably need to see more justification than some emotional outburst a few days after getting terror attacked and israeli citizens kidnapped.
Your arguments are weak. Yes there is a sad situation where a lot of Palestinians are dying but it’s not a genocide.
I hate the idea of treating homeless like babies. Most of these people got to where they are by choices. If they wanted to stay at the church they probably can. Most churches I know have cots for people down and out. If these people wanted to stay at the church they would have.
Maybe because what is happening is not genocide?
Why would the CIA change their mind after 1 year? They were investigating for years and they conclude it’s not a weapon, then a year later they say ‘nope April fools LOL’
Wasn’t there that event at US Steel that gave Havana syndrome? It was also released like a year ago that the syndrome is not caused by foreign intelligence or weapons…
It was not ‘pictures of monkeys’ it was art. It was digital art. If you don’t get that then you don’t understand money laundering.
I wasn’t angry or hateful though? If anything I’m irritated of all the praise for not inherently doing anything.
Hot take is I don’t think anyone should care about Aaron Swartz. He didn’t do anything for Reddit in the merger and left without doing anything for Reddit so who cares. He then died being a martyr for a cause barely anyone cares about and his death didn’t inspire any change to education publication/copyright. Nobody should care.
Edit: you can downvote me all you want but I would like someone to comment on 1 thing Aaron contributed to Reddit. Why should anyone remember his name other than ‘but he killed himself for the cause bro’.
You seem to underestimate the gang problem. I was in Ilobasco a few years ago and my family that lives there urged me not to go outside past 7pm because I can be a target or even kidnapped. Like wtf why do the gangs get to dictate curfew in 2017? Past nightfall you have to turn the lights off so people in the streets can’t peek into your house through the metal guard rails on all the windows. It was eye opening to say the least. Since Nuevas Ideas I have only heard good things and good changes to the area from my family. There were so many people associated to the gangs that I have little sympathy for those ‘innocently accused’. I would rather a few loosely incorporated get caught than let the gangs do what they want freely.
The hard truth is it doesn’t matter how much aid we send, Ukraine is in a losing position. They need more than aid to win and that’s the problem
