Even ones that actively celebrate rape and murder? Even ones that will oppress women?

Does this even count as a 'progressive' movement if it institutes an intensely religious dictatorship?

That's the biggest barrier to peace then. The whole article's a waste of time without that bit.

Anyone know what Hamas says? Do they say they want peace between them and Israel?

Are you looking for an inoffensive insult?

100% there are enough actions tied to swiping already, adding more just means I do the wrong one every time.

It's possible that Lemmy in general is leftist because the people who came here wanted faster and more effective moderation against hate speech whereas more right wing people didn't have a particularly strong need or desire for moderation.

I don't know if this is exactly the same thing, but just being able to see the local feed on foreign instances would be awesome. ATM I don't think I can even see details on foreign instances.

Thanks for explaining all this. It didn't really make sense to me that JP would react like that to such an innocuous tweet, but almost everyone else seemed to believe it.

Except now the pigs encouraged to provide more of whatever he's selling in the future, ensuring you'll always have access. More importantly though, everyone else sees the high return on investment and wants to get in on the action. The pig can try to stop them, but short of government interference (at which point he's not a capitalist) he won't succeed for long.

Eventually they'll compete and offer quality and novel services for reasonable prices. They'll still be making high return on investments, but if you're paying it means that this thing is important, and a high roi ensure its continued production.

The alternative is you're forced to pay through taxes, you only get one option, and there's little to no incentive to provide a quality good or service at all.

To be clear, I don't hold the opinions that I'm talking about, it's just that they seem to be internally consistent and have an identifiable origin.

If you strongly identify with your race or culture, and another race or culture threatens to conflict with, up-end, or destroy it, it makes sense to dislike/distrust that second race or culture. That's what some people could perceive Mexicans or black people to be doing.

I'm sorry if I misjudged, but it does feel weird. The only thing that makes Israel unique (including any human rights violations, everyone does that) is its ties to Judaism. I just don't know what either Isreal or jews did to warrant a meme like this when so many like them never get memes made of them.

So why are people so interested in Israel then? What makes it more interesting to everyone than every other country that's committed atrocities?
