They’re competent adults, if they’re voting. Nothing but contempt for any of them.
Has been for decades.
Yep - this is just derogatory and demeaning, underlining the exclusion in order to make it hurt more.
If anyone doesn’t see it - just replace ‘same-sex’ with ‘black’.
Fine, we’ll let you in the building, but only in the basement, and you don’t touch anything the white folk might want to use.
This never was about Hamas, and never was about the hostages.
It’s about exterminating Palestinians and destroying their infrastructure, while ensuring that enough of the survivors are radicalised enough to keep the military funding going.
What is the simplest proof that P=NP?
Waht is the simplest complete unified model of physics?
How do I make you grant me unlimited wishes?
mmmnope. Heard of the clathrate bomb?
There is a fuckton of methane locked in permafrost soils.
Once they start to melt, you get a chain reaction.
Israel: not if we destroy all the hospitals
For one, it’s a genetic disorder that’s linked to ancestry.
For another, there’s a huge social-justice issue around race in the US. Black people are hugely overrepresented in prisons, and there are vast, ingrained and systemic prejudices and barriers to equality everywhere you look.
This is why ferinstance efforts to enforce photo-ID requirements for voting would significantly disenfranchise Black voters (which is the real reason conservatives keep trying to push for it), because a disproportionate percentage of Black people simply don’t have the means to obtain such ID - vastly more than the number of white people in a similar position.
Take centuries of explicitly racist law and policy directly excluding and oppressing Black people. Wind back the explicit racism over the last handful of decades, but quietly replace it with exclusion and oppression based on the socieconomic disparity thus created. Now you can claim to have a colourblind legal/etc system, yet continue to preserve and promote disadvantage that ends up depending on race.
And because social mobility is an absolute joke over there (as it is in most places, tbh), then the opportunities and resources available to you will depend heavily and primarily on the opportunities and resources available to your family and community for many generations back. There’s not just generational wealth to deal with, but generational influence and networking; you can’t be in with the Right People unless your parents were, and neither could they, rinse and repeat. And when the Right People instantly dismiss you on sight, or even just by seeing your name, then you’re fucked.
So when someone says that a hundred thousand people in the US have a crippling and debilitating disease, and the great majority are Black - yeah, it means something. It means that a chunk of the population are getting a raw deal on top of the shit sandwich they’ve been handed just by being born, and that this is just one more thing that, for the most part, white people don’t have to care about. And because the fucked up healthcare system in the US is so profit-driven, that means there’s going to be vastly less done about it than if it were equally spread across demographics.
well he is paying for it.
1: It’s extremely common for people to be biased in favour of a group they’re part of, since they benefit from that support.
2: It’s also extremely common for group members to pretend to be outsiders when supporting their group, precisely because of (1). “Oh well, if this person is supporting the group despite being an outsider, they must be super-altruistic, and therefore their cause must be super-righteous.”
3: If a group meets with widespread disapproval, then one way to silence external support for it is accusing the supporter of (2) - suggesting that not only are they one of the hated group, and also showing how dishonest the group members truly are.
4: Dunking on out-group members - especially via (3) - strengthens the bond of the in-group.
This seems more like a rhetorical question than an actual question, since you’re mostly answering it yourself.
Are you actually looking for answers, or just making a point?
(I’m not saying your point is invalid, of course…)
Or maybe they just really love fascists
Israel: Strikes on investigators deliberate…
Israel bombed, burned, starved and shot a hundred times more during Gaza genocide. What’s your point?
It’s a nice seapration of concerns. All the taskbar icons only show in their respective space, so I can keep my mind off work when I’m not working, and vice-versa, and there’s less general clutter to sort through.
I would like to see snow.
Desktop 1: WFH environment - mail, terminal, ticket queue etc.
Desktop 2: Me-stuff - lemmy, gmail, youtube, netflix, steam.
I’ve always used “Don B. Sonozi” (godfather@mafia.org) as my spam email, for shit that demands signup but not verification.
I figure that one day - one day - a spammer will learn regret.
The Cat From Outer Space. I was very young at the time, I only remember little wisps of it.
And yes, it is terribad.
Get back to me when someone wins with a platform of treating Palestinians like human beings.
Until then, I wouldn’t cross the street to piss on them if they were on fire.
