GeneralInterest@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why are so many Pro-Palestine (I am pro-Palestine and anti-genocide) Americans refusing to vote for Harris due to her stance on Israel?English11·9 个月前“Killing is fine as long as your numbers aren’t too high”
It’s just a dumb take isn’t it.
Edit: you’ll try to say “that’s not what I’m saying” but it’s what you’re suggesting, by saying that Hamas are somehow more moral. What I’m suggesting is that maybe they’re both bad. Also, if Hamas had the same amount of weaponry that Israel has, do we really think Hamas would hold back?
I think the ICJ was correct to want to bring the leaders of Israel and Hamas to trial for war crimes. I don’t think it makes sense to give one side a pass, or say they’re better, when both have killed many innocent people who didn’t deserve death.

The fact that you read what I did says that you are either responding in bad faith
The fact that you seem so upset with me saying that killing civilians is bad no matter who does it implies to me that you think it’s fine when some people do it. Or that it’s fine as long as they don’t kill too many people.
You’re extremely stupid.
GeneralInterest@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why are so many Pro-Palestine (I am pro-Palestine and anti-genocide) Americans refusing to vote for Harris due to her stance on Israel?English12·9 个月前Yeah I’m not into the whole “let’s excuse Hamas” thing. In my view killing civilians is bad, which is why I think both Hamas and the Israeli government are bad. Neither should kill civilians at all - not 1, not 100, not 1,000, etc.
GeneralInterest@lemmy.worldOPto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Time has come for reparations conversation, say Commonwealth leadersEnglish3·9 个月前I think I heard on the radio the other day someone saying that reparations should be less about handing cash to descendants of slaves, and more about investing in descendants of slaves, which I guess would mean ensuring that those descendants have an equal access to education and job opportunities, and maybe other adjustments. Whether that’s a good idea, I guess society would have to decide, but I thought it was interesting.
GeneralInterest@lemmy.worldOPto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Time has come for reparations conversation, say Commonwealth leadersEnglish4·9 个月前In the future it might not be though. Developing countries are getting richer and they have growing populations. Britain’s population isn’t growing that much. Even public opinion within Britain may one day favour reparations, let alone outside of Britain.
GeneralInterest@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why are so many Pro-Palestine (I am pro-Palestine and anti-genocide) Americans refusing to vote for Harris due to her stance on Israel?English12·9 个月前Ideally I don’t think any civilian deaths should happen, so they’re both wrong. I’m not going to say Hamas is somehow better because they killed fewer people. To me that seems like saying “oh you didn’t kill too many people, that’s fine then”. Which would be completely wrong in my view.

If somebody makes a pro-Israel post, maybe they just genuinely support Israel (I wouldn’t say that’s my view currently - I think both Israel and Hamas are wrong because both have killed civilians).
Edit: your downvotes aren’t evidence.

Even if I assume the truth of that statement, do you not care about the deaths of Ukrainian civilians?
We couped Ukraine in 2014
My understanding is that Ukraine’s parliament (Rada) removed Yanukovych from his position as president. That seems fair to me. Many countries, including the US, have legal processes for removing their leaders.

What Russia claims though is that the Ukrainian government is full of Nazis, which I don’t think is true.
GeneralInterest@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: You might be unknowingly doxxing yourself by sharing links containing trackersEnglish19·10 个月前Good PSA. Personally I’m not that worried because
- I don’t use Instagram
- Firefox has an option to copy links without site tracking, which hopefully would work on Instagram links
- I try to only write stuff online that wouldn’t be massively embarrassing if anyone does happen to figure out who I am
You could always browse it with an ad blocker so they don’t make ad revenue from your attention.
Fair point, different people like different things. It’s interesting that forums are less popular now though. I signed up for Ars Technica’s forum the other day, maybe I should try it out more.
Fair point, but maybe you could restrict an account to only make one thread every 10 minutes or something. And require a CAPTCHA and email or phone verification for new accounts. I guess organising and moderating social media style sites is not a simple task though.
Niche subreddits can have good content, and also I find myself looking at Reddit threads that come up in web searches, like if I search for a tech problem I’m having. But yes, the behaviour of Reddit as a profit-hungry corporation makes me want to not use Reddit or see their ads.
Sure that is true. Thank you for looking at my post and replying to it by the way. But I was just thinking how some people might just look at the top comments and nothing else. Maybe the upvote system does have some benefits though, like making bad posts less visible.
How does Zelenskyy’s government venerate Bandera? Zelenskyy apparently dismissed his ambassador to Germany after the ambassador defended Bandera.
The Kremlin pushes the idea that the government of Zelenskyy (a Jewish man) is full of Nazis, because they think this justifies their invasion of Ukraine.
In reality it seems to me that Russia is behaving like Nazis, not Ukraine. Russia is the one that has launched an invasion of conquest, just like the Nazis did.
