nifty , in Young Jewish man stabbed in NYC by attacker yelling ‘Free Palestine’
@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

The stabber is a loser and his actions should be denounced by the Muslim community. That guy who got stabbed isn’t responsible for the actions of politicians in a different country.

Every culture has bad actors and good actors. People should remember what it’s like to be held responsible or accountable for the actions of someone else. All cultures have done this to each other at some point.

Blaming random civilians for the big things which someone thinks are wrong in the world is an inherently wrong and dangerous thing to do. The police should also investigate if this stabber might not have other motives, like did someone incite this person to start a conflict in this community?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

his actions should be denounced by the Muslim community.

It is not the job of any minority community to denounce members of that community when they do heinous things. If a black man stabs a white man because he hates white people, no one would be calling on the black community specifically to denounce him (except maybe Republicans).

He committed murder. There’s no need to make some public denouncement. He’s on video attempting to commit the murder. He’s been arrested for attempted murder. He’s clearly a guy who planned to commit a murder. He can say it was for Palestine, but that doesn’t make Palestinians responsible and it certainly wouldn’t make, for example, a Muslim from Indonesia responsible.

nifty ,
@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

Sorry I meant the local Muslim community, not anyone at large. Muslims are not a monolith.

But that’s my point though, I don’t think it’s a good idea for a random Muslim to blame a random Jewish person for what politicians are doing. If anything, our shared and collective helplessness against larger and out of control forces should unite us.

Aren’t these 2 sentences mutually contradictory? If your argument is that people aren’t responsible for the actions of others of the same ethnicity, then logically the Muslim community has no obligation to say anything as they’re not responsible.

nifty ,
@nifty@lemmy.world avatar

I should have clarified, I didn’t mean Muslims at large. The ordinary Muslim shouldn’t be expected to respond to such events. People who call themselves religious community leaders, however, can make such general statements, as they have done so in the past. In common parlance, it’s assumed that that’s what meant by “Muslim community”, ie someone who is a leader of a mosque or community group, but I agree I assumed too much about the common understanding of such a term

MagicShel , in Nancy Pelosi continues to exercise ultimate power over Democrats

Ultimate power sounds kinda nefarious. Seems to me like she’s doing a hell of a job, currently. I don’t have any particular love or hate of her, but her job has got to be like herding cats, and she clearly does it will.

Viking_Hippie ,

Ultimate power sounds kinda nefarious

Deservedly so. She didn’t get where she is by NOT currying favor with and doing the bidding of the ultra-rich and their corporations.

her job has got to be like herding cats, and she clearly does it will.

Nah, her job is to receive and carry out the wishes of the owner donors. That’s why she originally supported Biden staying in: the wealthy patrons were still on his side. It was only when THEY started pulling their support that she used her power to oust him.

MagicShel ,

From a cynical perspective, you’ve described how all politics works in every system. Make peace with it.

Viking_Hippie ,

No. Only the most corrupt politics, of which Pelosi is a chief proponent.

Corruption is unacceptable, especially on the scale of the likes of Pelosi and most if not all Republicans.

Politics are NOT as corrupt in every system and even if it was, that would be something to fight to change, not “make peace with” like a good little slave.

MagicShel ,

What are you going to do about it? Money and power dominate every system. Monarchy. Feudalism. Communism. Democracy. Even anarchy is rolled by the person with the biggest guns.

Viking_Hippie , (edited )

Even anarchy is rolled by the person with the biggest guns.

Anarcho-capitalism? Sure. Left anarchism? Nope, only according to the deliberately misleading establishment narrative 🙄

MagicShel ,

There is no organization of people, from a marriage to a nation, that can’t be unbalanced. Someone always has influence (wealth, power, knowledge) that can be used corruptly or violently to take from another.

Viking_Hippie ,

Yeah yeah, the world is unfair and we’re all powerless to influence anyone so we should just give up now 🙄

Isn’t it exhausting to go through life with such an utterly defeatist attitude?

MagicShel ,

No. I just worry about the things I can change and not the things I can’t.

Viking_Hippie ,

Sounds dreadfully utilitarian and limiting.

BradleyUffner ,

If her job is to carry out someone else’s wishes, then she doesn’t really have “ultimate power”. It’s just like, penultimate power, best case.

Viking_Hippie ,

Dammit, that’s actually a good point lol. She’s mostly a vessel through which even richer, even more powerful, and even more corrupt people exert their will on the public.

She’s damn effective and brutal about it, though, making her chief amongst corrupt middle managers.

wowyoureallysaidthat ,

Yeah, Democract elites, they suck, blah blah.

Viking_Hippie ,

They do. As do Republican, third party, and politically neutral elites.

In a system specifically designed to reward greed, ruthlessness, and authoritarian tendencies, you don’t get to be one of the elites without being an awful person.

wowyoureallysaidthat ,

It does seem inevitable in the systems that we have built that you eventually sell out.

Viking_Hippie , (edited )

Only if your greed and lust for power are stronger than your higher principles.

You can fight the system, even from the inside, without selling out, but they won’t let you pull the levers behind the scenes unless you’re much more rich and/or powerful than it’s possible to become without selling out.

skulblaka ,
@skulblaka@sh.itjust.works avatar

For an easy and obvious example, see Bernie Sanders. He’s stood behind his principles from the day he was born and never sold out to anyone. He’s a beloved figure across the whole country and a huge percentage of Americans supported his run for president.

He has next to zero power, outside of using his established position to shame other politicians. If you’re immune to shame, he can do nothing.

FlyingSquid , in GOP House candidate was blamed after handgun was stolen
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Sorry… a reprimand? Even if the gun wasn’t stolen, her ID card was stolen. There could very well have been someone using her card for who knows what sort of crimes.

But, of course, as usual the bastards protect their own no matter what they are responsible for.

solsangraal , in GOP House candidate was blamed after handgun was stolen

doesn’t help your “i’m the public safety candidate” message when you can’t even secure your own property. after being NYPD ffs. “gun laws just lead to only criminals having guns.” thanks, twat, for providing criminals with a gun. and a fucking cop badge

She believes in both a good guy with a gun and trickle down, at the same time. She is distributing safety!

MudMan , in Horses are smart enough to plan and strategise, new study shows

I am constantly surprised by how often you get reports of "animal such and such is capable of basic task".

I would assume it's a case of misreporting technical information, but then you hear how entrenched some professionals on the field are when it comes to assuming some type of exceptional, unique magical property in human brains and how "antropomorphizing" is used as a dirty word and it makes you wonder. I once had a biologist get very angry at me for suggesting dogs are capable of play behavior, so all bets are off, I guess?

girlfreddy OP ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

That biologist has never seen juvenile animals of any sort then … because they all play in their own manner.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

If I remember correctly, play in both juvenile animals and humans is primarily about practicing for adulthood in all sorts of ways. Making it enjoyable is obviously of an evolutionary benefit. Like you said- puppies clearly enjoy playing, as do adult dogs since they have been bred to retain juvenile wolf features, and wolf pups also enjoy playing, but stop when they become adults.
