I feel like the real reason would be that Reddit suits know that Reddit is stereotyped as a gooner website and don’t want people to think redditors are gooners, which is very wishful thinking as everyone already knows they are some of the biggest gooners out there online.

My favorite little derps

They interacted with Catholics and got genocided. As for other native faiths, I don’t really know much but they were very much an empire and treated other peoples very poorly.

Couldn’t say it better myself. People here say that people have no stomach for revolution, but they’ll have plenty of stomach for it when they haven’t eaten two meals during the inevitable famines.

Source? I’ll admit I’m very new to Israel-Palestine, that’s why I keep quiet about it most of the time, but I felt like speaking up for other people who know even less about the issue would be a good idea here on Lemmy where people seem to have a great deal of knowledge on the subject.

Yeah, I don’t support most of the crackdowns on the protests, but it’s silly to think that people are suddenly fascist for wanting state power to crack down on what they BELIEVE is antisemitism. If I believed that the protesters were doing it more out of weird racist shit than concern for Palestinians, I would want them out too. ESPECIALLY now.

And before you say “well they should know better!” I mean sure, but not everyone has the luxury of spending tons of time analyzing every single piece of news, looking into multiple sources, reading the history of a middle east region the size of New Jersey, etc, etc. What makes it even harder is that Israel and Palestine are ultimately foreign countries, no matter how much of an alliance the U.S has with Isreal, it’s still a country in the middle East.

Then there is the nuance, Hamas are still terrorists and Netanyahu even supported them until October 7th, Israelies were trying to actively get red of the guy until the 7th, the country was set up by the British have both sides fight and hate eachother forever, real antisemitism is rising all over the world and fascists are trying to take advantage of that and connect it to Israel-Palestine. Then Add media bias and how even video footage can be fake with AI and you have a basically completely out of control situation.

Actually yes its 100% on the conservative side now too. I know this because I know an insane die-hard MAGA Christian nationalist who ONLY drinks raw milk, they see pasteurization as weakening their manhoods and virility and shit.

One thing I found really interesting and was talking about with someone recently about the Isreal-Palestine situation currently is that unlike with Apartheid South Africa people have a MUCH harder time boycotting corporations involved with Israel than they did during Apartheid, with Globalism many things (such as soap in the US) are basically owned by a few companies operating under multiple labels, so it’s extremely hard to tell if a product is linked to a Zionist company compared to the Apartheid protests where things were both more clearly labeled and also less monopolized.
An example is: I’m pro-Ukraine. All my go-to soap brands are owned by Unilever, who are still active in Russia. I’m too poor to get handmade soaps from the farmers market, and I need to go scentless because of allergies and convenient because I can’t just spend all my time looking for guilt-free soap.
So, in regards to Isreal. who does that leave for people to boycott? The US Government, which although tax evasion is a very harshly punished thing, is much more directly and obviously linked to Zionism.

Really appreciating Israels SkyNet 100% speedrun here, some really impressive moves. However, I’m starting to wonder if this run passes the suspect test, I feel like you can’t get past regulators so well in most cases without an exploit.

They are vaxx maxxed which of course gives you superpowers a la Residen’t Evil’s T-Virus.

His brother must have because his brother joined the Ottomans and converted to Islam. Coincidence?

Yup Kojima 1000 years ahead of his time.

After the SORA AI reveal today I’m starting to see that luddites have a point. I don’t think we’ll ever have terminator-style scenarios but the amount of damage misinformation and disinformation is doing to our society and now WILL do to our society is proof enough we need to start stepping back. I’ve seen the amazing benefits of AI first hand - new drugs, new treatments, more medical knowledge than ever before, gene sequencing of never before seen organisms. I’ve seen AI help with all those amazing beneficial things.

But I feel like the bad actors are wining, and winning very hard. Basically everything is unregulated and corporations refuse to take even a modicum of responsibility for anything. The worst thing is knowing that our octogenerian overlords don’t even know how to use a phone. I don’t see why i should continue to be a tech optimist when we all know that things are only going to get worse from here on out. In a post-truth society all we can really do is regress.

As a scientist I can say this is the funniest thing to happen to science in years. The other AI-generated images are also hilarious because they have amazing insights into things like the JAK -> JAK -> JAK-> JAK -> JAK pathway and other total gibberish.

Yup I like to hateread /r/conservative and one of their big posts was how Tucker was praising Putin’s Moscow for having less crime and homelessness than the average American city. My dudes, the criminals and homeless are dying on the front. Not to mention if you called Putin “Sleepy” or some stupid shit you would end up falling through a window.

My brother compared super pro-Zionism to mCarthyism and yup here it is. Don’t even need proof, just fire away at random people you dislike.

This is why I still come to Kbin, not a drop of this on other social media sites.

At this rate we will have colliders that encircle the entire planet like a super advanced ancient civilization from a videogame.

Yup I’m a level 20 warlock.

Yeah I was a big channer many years ago I still don’t understand how the fuck fascism won there. The only reason I go there now is to snoop on fascists since I know how to click around there. The only thing I can say is that it must be that most channers really were idiot loser NEETs with nothing to live for, instead of people pretending to be idiot loser NEETs with nothing to live for.
