Not everyone needs to fight cops in the streets (respect and support to those that do!). There are other ways to fight as well: organizing strikes, sabotage, [redacted]. I think the main problem is that the fascism pot has been simmering for so long, that people are mostly used to it, and can no longer really imagine the alternative. We’re so isolated from each other, and desperate to survive that too many of us will “keep calm and carry on” as long as it isn’t our necks on the chopping block.

I guess, but this just kind of redefines how most people think of egoism/selfishness/altruism etc. Where does it lead? If making people happy is selfish, and making people happy is ‘good’, does that mean any selfish act is ‘good’? Does it really take away from ‘good’ acts if the performer derives happiness from them?

Boiling the oceans to make scamcoins and deepfake porn.

I take the same precautions crossing a Chinese border as I do crossing a US one.

Please take a deep breath and realize how absolutely pathetic it looks when you can’t accept that supporting genocide is immoral, or that Biden’s appearance can be explained by him having a cold. No “tanky” on Lemmy gives a single fuck who you do or don’t vote for. You’re frustrated with the wrong people.

TIL that CNN and the NYT are the “online left”.

Aaaannndd… It is also a kind of subsidy to US agribiz.

If the Death Star is so bad, why don’t you move to Alderaan and see how you like it??

That’s cool. I definitely plan to try again sometime, as it sounds like it has some real advantages. In the past I tried using some projects like DockStarter.

Thanks, I will look into it. I’ve never successfully gotten my head around docker though. I currently use Swizzin community edition.

Yeah, I know about the interface bind. I had something more complicated setup with namespaces or something. It worked great for like 2 years before it failed.

I run it on a VPS for availability while I travel. I have pretty shit upload speed on my home connection :)

This makes me think we should be handing out US flag-blankets to everyone sleeping outside. Let’s start a movement!

All of them.

Your credit will eventually recover, and you already have a house!

How is it deflecting when you call me a “white savior” for having an outsider opinion about this genocide, if I hold your opinion to the same standard? Have you considered that the rank and file of Hamas live in Palestine? The ones that are fighting and dying? That they themselves are the children and orphans of Palestine?

I’m am sure that there is a variety of opinions among the Palestinian people, just as there are among the Israelis and Americans. I am aware of the limitations of my own perspective, but all I can do is apply my knowledge and principles to the situation as I see it. You’re doing the same, and I don’t really see any point in continuing this conversation. Take that as you will.

Oh shit. Do you live Palestine?

You talk of lust, but it seems like you have a fetish for the genocide of Palestinians.

Ah, now I see who you are. You embody the liberal ideal that dying nonviolently is nobler than violent resistance. So useful to have “military capacity” and not use it while your people are slaughtered and yours lands stolen, eh?

So that’s a no then? I thought you said that armed resistance to Israeli violence was the job of the PLO. Now you dodge and call it bloodlust to understand the impulse to resist occupation.

Is the PLO offering any armed resistance to the genocide occurring right now? Does it offer any armed resistance to Israeli occupation generally? I cannot find any evidence that it is, but I would be happy to read anything that says otherwise.
