Maybe they’re helping Palestine because they don’t want tons of refugees? Israel is determined to ethnically cleanse millions of citizens and it makes sense that none of the surrounding countries want to deal with that. The best thing for their self-interest, and luckily ethics in general, is to stop Israel’s continuous genocidal campaign.

WanderingVentra ,

Doing nothing has gotten them killed, too. Look at the West Bank. Look at the March of Return. Doesn’t Palestine have a right to defend themselves?

Also, there are tons of Palestinians refugees. 1.9 million have already been forced to flee their homes in this conflict, and there are 2.4-5.6 million from previous ones. They mostly go to Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt.

I don’t like Jill Stein but she clearly did say yes up there

WanderingVentra ,

From the guy who said you’re “not a real Jew” unless you vote for him because of Israel.

I’m doubting them. The IDF always lies and this person is defending a genocidal country and terrorist, ethnostate. It’s like giving Nazis the benefit of the doubt. But I’d also be curious to see these articles of proof that everyone killed was Hezbollah. The pictures I saw before showed lot of collateral damage and I doubt the two children were Hezbollah. This method of attack is very fire and forget, there’s no way they have that info unless they have journalists at every hospital asking if the people coming in with blown off hands are Hezbollah.

Conspiracy theorists have still been spreading the lab leak theory without proof for awhile now because China is the current scary boogeyman. I get that there was lab there studying these diseases, but guessing isn’t how science works, and the wet markets have been known to be a possible source of diseases for a long time now by scientists. I remember warnings about this scenario coming up awhile ago.

Lot of diseases come from China probably for similar reasons: it’s crowded and close contacts with lots of animals. No one thought the 1956 flu could be a lab leak, or SARS, or H7N9, etc. People just have conspiracy theories about this one because it turned into the biggest pandemic of them all, which is just the roll of the dice of all the diseases coming out of there.

WanderingVentra ,

I’m guessing you have no idea what Israel has been doing to Palestine for the last 70 years? Israel has been killing natives and taking their land way before October 7th and the answer isn’t making it harder for Palestinians to defend themselves.

Palestinians are for a two state solution, but Israel keeps trying to use the deals to take more land. The latest one involves taking the land that’s on their Egyptian border and making them disarm itself. What kind of state doesn’t have control over its borders and can’t defend itself? These deals are given in bad faith. It’s why they keep taking land, so it’s impossible to have a contiguous state. Israeli officials have admitted this multiple times.

WanderingVentra ,

Did they? They controlled its borders, air space, water, power, trash, money, trade, food, etc. They still occupied the space. They had guns pointed into it and would snipe people who walk near the edge or throw things into it. Every now and then soldiers would go in for some reason or another. They had policies to control the number of calories that went in to keep it down to the bare minimum. It was an open air concentration camp, not sovereign territory.

WanderingVentra ,

Here’s my guess. Piracy provides a competition against the horrible practices of streaming and entertainment companies that doesn’t otherwise exist, forcing them to provide a better service.

Artists are just a single person making art and their service isn’t gobbled up by the capitalist machine and turned into something user unfriendly. They don’t usually make too much money, unlike huge entertainment corporations, either.

When it comes to piracy, individual content creators often don’t care as long as they get money to live. There have been people who work on video games or movies who say they don’t care if others pirate their work as long as others get to see it. But for AI, it copies and changes the work, stripping the art of its original watermark, and it sets itself up to be a replacement of the artist itself. It doesn’t just spread their work without having you pay for it, it replaces the concept of needing an artist altogether, but only by using their labor in the first place without paying them for it.

If piracy let movie studios replace the idea of needing individual content creators, writers, artists actors, etc then people would feel differently I think. As it is now, people don’t care about big studios, they care about the individual. Piracy currently only really harms the former and not the latter. AI is the opposite.

Dropping smaller bombs that kill innocents is still terrorism. It’s not like it’s okay if I blow up a bus just because I blew up a building last week.

WanderingVentra ,

In this analogy it’s just a city bus. They killed civilians with this attack, I’m not sure if you realize. Unless you think the 10 year old girl was a hardened Hezbollah soldier.

And yes, it’s better, but not good. Especially since they’re not even at war with Lebanon right now. They’re just trying to expand the conflict to keep the US in a forever war to justify their genocide and so Netanyahu never has to account for his crimes.

WanderingVentra ,

They blew up the pagers without knowing where they would be, who they would be next to, or who would be holding them. That’s how the children died. It was really cool how cyberpunk it was, but it wasn’t precisely targeted at all. It’s like blowing up a city bus because you’re pretty sure a Hezbollah member is in it but don’t care about collateral damage at all.

WanderingVentra ,

That was Israel when they decided to initiate a genocide.

WanderingVentra ,

Dude they injured thousands of people and killed children and health care workers. This is 100% terrorism. I guess it’s a better than the active genocide they’re doing though, so it’s a low bar.

WanderingVentra ,

It’s like something from Cyberpunk 2077 lol.

WanderingVentra ,

There’s no been proof that Tik Tok sends all the data to China or that China manipulates the algorithm. In fact, to appease the US before, they agreed to let Oracle and a purely US subsidiary look at all their code and data and content moderation. Oracle would spot check the data flows and where it goes. Tik Tok would report to Committee on Foreign Investment in the US on everything, even hiring practices. And a 2021 study found Tik Tok didn’t really collect data beyond the norm of other players in the industry, or beyond what it said it did in it’s policy.

Most of the claims by a Tik Tok whistleblower that alleged otherwise seem to be from one guy mad at being fired who’s made wild claims, like Merrick Garland instigated his firing, and he only worked there for 6 months.

All this scaring is literally just because politicians are scared that people in Gaza can use it to report what’s happening to themselves during the genocide, without the blatant censorship of American companies on the issue. Even Romney admitted that’s the reason. I don’t actually use Tik Tok and I think it’s algorithms are bad for our ADHD addled brains, but I would also apply that to YouTube shorts and Instagram stories. They should all be regulated, not banned. Hell, we actually could use more foreign companies that aren’t vulnerable to US censorship, not the opposite. This is especially important since reporters aren’t being let in Gaza and the ones who are are killed. And we’ll probably lose it once they finish their restructuring in Project Texas, although sounds like they’ll be banned before they do.

Greta Thunberg labeled 'antisemite of the week' amid anti-Israel activity (www.jpost.com)

Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been labeled “antisemite of the Week” by the Jewish watchdog group StopAntisemitism following her arrest at an anti-Israel rally. The group criticized Thunberg for aligning with protesters who oppose Israel, accusing her of turning her activism into a platform for anti-Semitism, the New...

WanderingVentra ,

Greta just keeps getting cooler and cooler.

WanderingVentra ,

Not according to our bi-anual election cycle immigration scare 🙄

WanderingVentra ,

It’s the media’s job to make us angry at foreigners while ignoring and accepting our problems at home. They’re just doing their job.

WanderingVentra ,

Dude your option is actively, currently hurting people! That’s not “imperfect”, it’s literally Hitler levels of supporting a genocide. Talk about selfish lol.

WanderingVentra ,

Empathy driven ethics is what’s causing people not to vote for the genocidal supporters in the Dem party. I can’t even blame them for having a red line that is basically “doing what Hitler did”.

WanderingVentra ,

What primary? No alternative was offered, no debates happened.

WanderingVentra ,

If only people like you were as emotional about genocide as they were about third parties, the world might be a better place.

WanderingVentra ,

Kamala already said that’s off the table.

WanderingVentra , (edited )

I can’t imagine their prison sentences if they were actually thieves. Look at what they’re getting for doing peaceful protests. People freak out when property is disturbed.

WanderingVentra ,

Why? We don’t really have that for Presidents, which are just as, if not more, dangerous.

WanderingVentra ,

How well had that worked for the US President’s and their appointed Supreme Court justices which have been getting bribed in public without consequences? Unless you mean the guillotine…

WanderingVentra , (edited )

That’s just because your conservatives haven’t discovered not confirming justices. We used to have bipartisan consensus on judicial picks as well. Give it time as the other capitalist countries continue to decay and get more fascist. Relying on these moral codes and gentleman’s agreements doesn’t work once a party learns to disrupt the system.

Obama literally picked a judge the opposition said was the only one they would pick and then they still didn’t. You can’t remove politics from these systems.

WanderingVentra ,

My landlord doesn’t do that, they have a property manager that does that stuff. Ive never even seen my landlord. If the landlord does it, then they are not doing landlording, they are being a property manager and landlord, but they don’t necessarily have to, and one doesn’t require being the other.

WanderingVentra ,

Paying for a roof isn’t work. It’s not producing anything, transforming anything, or doing labor, and it takes no time. It takes 30 seconds to cut a check. And they’re using money I and other renters have paid them because we can’t afford a house, despite very much wanting to, because of how expensive housing is due to landlords buying up all the properties lol. You can tell it’s not a real job because a lot of landlords have full time other jobs. Or it’s why being a landlord is also a great way to get money for old people who can’t work and maybe haven’t saved for retirement nor have a pension.

I 100% agree that the problem is that housing is an investment. Real estate investors should not be buying homes to make a profit at the expense of available housing. I haven’t heard how the situation is in Germany, but that’s good. I heard Tokyo also does it right, where housing depreciates like a car, because they have so much.

WanderingVentra ,

As opposed to now where they completely ignored the most populous states and only campaign in swing states? That’s not better. Also, it’s not even true. They’d have to actually campaign everywhere.

WanderingVentra ,

I thought the Democrats are in control of the Senate? Why delay on something that might hurt their own party’s seats?

WanderingVentra ,

!losangeles

WanderingVentra ,

This is why I don’t watch the debate. I know it’ll just piss me off because he won’t say anything but crazy shit.

WanderingVentra , (edited )

I’ll have to check it out! I do enjoy seeing the highlights and memes afterwards lol.

WanderingVentra ,

How can you have been alive that long and not noticed the ratchet effect? It specifically increased with Reagan, who put in a bunch of neoliberal policies that Democrats still haven’t rolled back all these years later.

And unfortunately the ratchet can’t go the other way because it’s not in the material interest of the higher up Democrats to help regular people. That media that divides people is done on purpose by the exact same interests that own our politicians.

WanderingVentra ,

Parties have changed in the past. It’s not impossible. We used to have a Whig party, for example.

WanderingVentra ,

Didn’t they already kill those World Kitchen aid workers? They already know they can get away with it.

WanderingVentra ,

At least when it comes to Israel or US 🙄. Whenever anyone else pulls this shit, it’s a big deal for some reason.

WanderingVentra ,

I thought I saw AT&T workers on strike outside a building but that was months ago. You go guys!

WanderingVentra ,

Woo!

WanderingVentra ,

Ah, the Zapp Brannigan strategy.

Popular Israeli podcasters call to ‘erase every living being’ in Gaza and West Bank (www.middleeasteye.net)

In an episode of Two Nice Jewish Boys, which aired three weeks ago, host Weinstein said: “If you gave me a button to just erase Gaza, every single living being in Gaza would no longer be living tomorrow. I would press it in a second.”...

WanderingVentra ,

Nah, I think it’s important for people to see the kind of attitudes that cause a genocide, as that’s what’s happening right now. We shouldn’t be turning a blind eye to it while we’re funding and supplying it. Especially if you live in the West, Israel’s biggest backers, it’s important to acknowledge it so we can fight against it. That’s kind of what “never again” means and requires.

WanderingVentra ,

Damn. Was hoping she would pull through, but with 75% of her body, ya, I wasn’t optimistic. So sad to happen so soon after what was probably the happiest time in her life.

WanderingVentra ,

It sounds like the random shit streamers have to say to provide content for hours lol.

“Hey chat, it’s your boy, Xi.”

WanderingVentra , (edited )

Wow this is amazing! How did they do the narration? Where was that from?

WanderingVentra ,

Haven’t really heard of him before today but already hate him lol. I have heard of Shark Tank, but never watched it.

I’m sure it’s a good show, I know some nice people who watch it, but I’ve always imagined it in my head as poor people groveling for rich people’s money for their bakeries and such.
