Any example of an apolitical thing you can give, I can explain why it's political

I disagree with the idea that just because something can be debated in politics, that it is by necessity political.

Basically, I think an object at rest remains at rest until it's actively debated in politics

Fair enough

I think you missed the part on the chain where I was in support of allowing politics.

I disagree with the basis of "everything is politics" because to me it feels like that reduces the seriousness of what are actually active political endeavors.

I don't ever agree with stances that ban politics from spaces. Because everyone should keep it on mind until the issues are fixed enough that it is not urgent.

The reason I disagree is that I don't generally see random memes about cats, or physics existing as political. I don't think people can reasonably call those political.

I didn't realize there was patrons for lemmy instances

I would assume ",being late on rent from mastodon server costs" is not an acceptable reason

Which tbh was really short sighted as well. Every nation needs an army to hold onto their self determination. And it needs to be well funded. Such has been proved repeatedly throughout history

Except, "everything is politics" means everything. It doesn't just mean everyone.... Basically, my disagreement with the statement is to say that gravity is not political

Please don't slander me what the fuck

I am very pro trans rights.

I mean. Pretty sure all states require damage coverage. Just not coverage for your own car

Pretty sure both 1 and 2 are jp and good

Wait are they lead? My grandparents have some on the window sill

"everything is political" is a phrase designed to reduce the actual meaning and implications of the word politics. That said, I agree with the point of your message

So you suddenly care about the passage of time when it isn't about how people bought them before musk went full nazi?

The idea that we should destroy electric cars is dogshit. You guys want to set electrification back half a decade.

When that car has become a symbol, definitely. The car being burnt isn't random after all.

It is some random man's car still. I didn't say it was a random car. And likely someone who hates trump too, since they're driving electric

Thw car wasn't a symbol when they bought it

Bonus, one less swatsicar in circulation

One less electric car. You want to actively destroy the environment to own the conservatives. Not passively. Actively.

Also no, coverage for your own car is not mandatory, what?

That the American media can only report on the exposure of the systematic mass murder of half the country's native residents as a risk to the United States illustrates the deep rot within the American psyche.

No one said that. This isn't about reporting, this is about information leaks.

If genocide is limited to mass killing by direct violence, some might argue that the term cannot apply to Yemen. Relative to the generally recognized cases of genocide (Armenia, Jewish Holocaust, Rwanda, etc.), a “substantial” number of Yemenis have not been killed by direct violence. However, between ten and twenty thousand people have been killed by direct violence and many tens of thousands more have been killed by deteriorating public health conditions directly related to the Saudi-led coalition’s bombing attacks and naval blockade. Additionally, Yemen’s rich cultural heritage has been deliberately bombed by the coalition. The direct and indirect physical attacks, public health emergencies, and cultural destruction together amount to a synchronized attack on life in Yemen.

It is not a Holocaust type event. An issue and a travesty, yes. But they are fighting literal terrorists as part of it. It's not exactly the pure black and white the Holocaust was, and I think your own source backs my statement.

I do agree it is horrifying. But I would argue that the saudis are the primary perpetrators, not the states. Unfortunately the actual meat of the article is hidden behind a paywall.

It's not moronic, you are literally suggesting burning random people's cars because the manufacturer is a nazi. I pointed out another example of such a manufacturer, and you have a problem with it.

Or if you want to be like that, how about just all classical voltswagons.

I'm sorry, do you genuinely think that burning some random guy's car is actual retaliation?

You really underestimate how many people buy above their means for cars.

And everyone driving a Volkswagen is a nazi then too? If you support burning teslas, you must also support burning those

I'm fucking pissed at leftists who burn teslas. It's an incredible waste of an electric car ... It's terrible for the environment. There's better things to burn down if you want to create change

Anyone who thought Luigi copycats would appear is coping and I've been saying that from the start. And I say that as someone who wishes they would.
