If we’re being real, it’s just Hamas, Hezbollah, the IRGC, and anyone unfortunate enough to be too close to those assholes on the bottom track.

It’s a complicated issue and explaining it to people who have been spending the last year consuming Iranian propaganda isn’t going to get her anywhere. People want her to say “Israel is evil” and anything other than that will have them screaming “genocide Kamala” in the same way they scream “genocide Joe.”

Yeah it’s really a no-win scenario. Probably why she’s just avoiding the subject altogether.

A lot of people have grandparents that fought against an antisemitic regime tho.

It seems odd that endorsing Carter was “understandable reasons at the time.” What were the reasons? Following the whole debacle with Nixon it made sense to endorse the guy running against the GOP? Isn’t there even more understandable reasons a this time right now?

It would make sense in any other election other than this one and the last one. Really weird choice to stop endorsing with this particular election.

Over 80% of the population of Israel was born in Israel. If you want them to leave then you’re talking about ethnic cleansing, not decolonization.

Ideally there’d be a socialist system that would be effective at distributing food and water.

Problem is socialism has the worst track record when it comes to feeding people. The worst famines in history happened under socialist systems.

And the whole “water is a human right” slogan is really silly hyberbole. If it were an actually a right then I could move to the middle of a desert and the government would be forced to build the infrastructure needed to provide me water. I don’t think that’s what people mean, but it’s what the slogan means.

Just say it’s bad when people struggle to get basic needs like food and water. Hyperbole is just setting yourself in a losing argument and doesn’t actually sway anyone.

That’s just how almost everything goes, isn’t it? Simpsons, Walking Dead, Dune, Game of Thrones, etc.

Endings are hard, and most things have an unsatisfying ending or go on for too long because they keep making it as long as it makes money.

Nightsisters are kind of like vampires and porgs are kind of like pokemon. We’ve also seen zombie storm troopers, but I was kind of fine with that because it was so ridiculous I couldn’t stop laughing.

Yeah, Star Wars peaked with ESB. That’s not to say it’s all complete shit since then, but nothing in Star Wars has risen to the height it was at 44 years ago.

Having 100 clones on screen without 100 extras still looks good.

Better than having 100 extras in storm trooper costumes? I’d rather see just a dozen storm troopers over 100 CGI troopers. Quality over quantity.

They have a list of people that are registered to vote. They mark off the people on the list who have voted so they can’t vote twice. But when the person actually votes it’s done outside the sight of anyone else (sometimes behind a curtain) so no one knows who they voted for.

There was a time when there were gangs outside of polling stations that would beat the shit out of people that didn’t vote how they wanted. And considering how insane the MAGAs are, it’s not too improbable this kind of thing could happen again if it weren’t for having a secret ballot system.

The point is that when violence starts, the politics don’t matter anymore. Whoever has the better army wins, there is nothing else other than that. Politics can lead to a war but once a war starts, the politics don’t really matter anymore. It’s just a lot of death and suffering until one side comes out on top. Which is why radical violent movements are really stupid.

If they’re putting ads on their site then it’s clear they want to make money. You’re imposing your views onto other people when they’ve clearly indicated they don’t think they way you want them to.

Yeah it’s really lame… seems like the ban is permanent, so I went ahead and blocked lemmy.ml. No point in seeing content from communities that some self-righteous admin decided I shouldn’t be allowed to interact with.

It is what it is. I already left reddit because of their bullshit owners. There’s still way better communities on reddit than on lemmy.ml, and as bullshit as the owners of reddit are, they’re still not as bad as the owners of lemmy.ml. So if it were really an issue to me I’d just go back to reddit. But it’s fun to discuss things in smaller communities so I’ll stick with lemmy, just not lemmy.ml.

Now you’re talking about CEOs as a nebulous they.

I’m talking about a CEO that said things similar to what an amazon exec said under an article about what that amazon exec said.

Also I work in software development. There has been a clear uptick in negativity towards developers where I work, which happens to be in a similar field to the one in the article.

I’ve also worked with AWS, and I can tell you for sure, they can’t afford to lose their best talent. Their system is pretty janky in many places and their boss should be putting more effort in making better software instead of playing games about forcing people to sit in a specific chair 5 days per week.

Sinwar was released in a previous deal. Then he plotted a genocide. A real genocide not the bullshit rebranding of a war as a genocide that’s a common narrative around here.

Sinwar was found and killed outside of his bunker with only two guards, probably scrounging for food. Why would Israel want to potentially release another Sinwar? Why would they want to give Hamas new reinforcements for their next attempt at genocide?

Hamas needs to surrender unconditionally. It’s over, they committed genocide, and now their cities are destroyed. But like how the Nazis continued on for another month after Hitler offed himself, they’ll probably continue on for a while longer. It can take a little time for people indoctrinated into fascist beliefs to understand they lost. They believe themselves to be supermen that can still somehow destroy the enemy even when it’s obvious to anyone else that they lost.

Did you spend a lot of time googling up some links from 10 years ago?

Meanwhile… https://duckduckgo.com/?q=palestinians+celebrating

Zero effort to find some good old fascist violent fervor on full display in the society Hamas created. And now Gaza looks a lot like how cities in Germany looked in 1945. Only question now is whether Palestinians can move past the politics of hate like Germans did.

People that romanticize civil wars and revolutions often hate that movie. But that’s exactly the kind of person it was made for. Radical politics don’t accomplish all that much other than getting a lot of people killed.

There’s http response code 402 (payment required) which comes before even 404 (page not found). Indicates to me that people were thinking about using the web for commerce even before they thought about people putting in a wrong URL.
