It's the position of zionists. I threw it in for completeness, and added a counterargument. If you want me to explain their position more thoroughly, zionists believe that Jewish safety can only be guaranteed by Jewish independence. In any democracy, minorities are only protected as long as the majority vote for their interests. Zionists desire a state with a jewish majority, to guarantee safety. I don't believe in states because I'm an anarchist, but I empathise with wanting the protection of a state.

Israeli people and Palestinian people both have a legitimate claim to live in the land surrounding Jerusalem. Palestinians are mostly muslim, and there are other muslim places to live. Israeli people are mostly jewish, and there are no other jewish places to live. That said, religion isn't ethnicity. Palestinians may be the same religion as other muslims, but they're not the same race. Just like black americans are mostly christian, but that doesn't mean they're the same race as white americans. Israeli people can't be guaranteed fair treatment elsewhere. Palestinian people have a right to live in their homes.

Israeli and Palestianian people both have a valid and important need to live in the holy land. So the simple solution is, they should both live there. That's a solution supported by a lot of Isreali and Palestinian people. But it's not a solution supported by the government of Israel. The government of Israel wants political control over the whole region, and to be able to legally and systemically put jews first.

I don't think the correct answer is "support" or "don't support", because that's too broad. I think the correct answer is to support the people's rights, and support the government's desire for safety for its people, but not to support the government's treatment of palestinians.

I got banned for racism against white people earlier this year, but I appealed it and they unbanned me. That's because I explained I wasn't attacking the people who are labelled as white, I was attacking the label of whiteness itself. Whiteness was invented by trans-atlantic slave traders in order to justify what they were doing and create solidarity between europeans in the new world as they oppressed nonwhite people and enjoyed the privileges of oppressing together. It's perfectly reasonable to attack the idea of whiteness as a big load of baloney. Also, any person who feels attacked by attacks on whiteness obviously considers whiteness part of their identity, which is shitty because, again, whiteness is fake. Whiteness shouldn't be part of anyone's self-identity because it's nonsense.

I think TOS did a better job giving the communications officer something to do. Mostly because in the 60s they thought space telephones would need operators, but still. Enterprise's innovation of making the comms officer a linguist was very clever, and I think it's a great way to give Hoshi more to do. But I don't think Hoshi is portrayed as performing the essential functions Uhura does, which make Uhura very important to the essential functioning of the Enterprise. Hoshi just presses buttons until the universal translator starts working, and then she's useless. I think that's a big failure of writing. Strange New Worlds was making this mistake too, right up until Subspace Rhapsody which stepped the portrayal of Uhura way up by showing us that Uhura has the telephone operator chops to run comms for the whole ship, and that she is indeed a part of all communications. I like the balance that SNW is striking for Uhura as of 2023, and I hope they keep that coming into the future. Because Uhura's job in TOS was very important and it remains important even with TNG style commbadges. There's a reason the Enterprise of the 60s feels more organised and professional than all later ships, and I think the comms officer is the biggest reason why. Kirk has the ideas, and Uhura gets everyone on the ship on his page. Contrast that with the chaos you see in TNG, which is dialed up to 11 in LDS, and you see the vital importance of the comms officer. Nobody tells lower deckers what's going on, because they forgot to replace Uhura.

/uj I think you should drink oat milk like I do. You shouldn't involve cows in your breast milk fetish. And you'd best believe the only difference between oat milk and breast milk is sexual.

Damn, I still cannot get that mnemonic right

Ah, the wonders of childhood obesity

Yeah, but that doesn't matter when the rules of dbzer0 prohibit prosocial behaviour. It's against the instance rules to insult someone for being a nazi.

Cows only produce milk when they've recently had a baby, so farmers get their cows pregnant every year. The females become the new milking cows, and the males go into the grinder. The males aren't used for meat because different breeds are used for milk than for meat.

Haha yes I love to kill and eat someone whose breast I've suckled at

One time I misremembered my Japanese teacher's mnemonic and wrote that my grandpa was married to noodles.

Teacher told us grandma is sofu because she has a sore foot from kicking grandpa's ass. I remembered it as sore bum instead, and changed grandma to soba

The law doesn't exist to protect people, it exists to protect capital. If you're expecting to law to help trans people deal with abuse, you're looking up the wrong tree.

Look at my sub c/chaotesvspatriarchy. I created it on Reddit, moved it to Lemmy during the protests, and gave up on it after a while because lemmy.world users would see trans memes and downvote.

c/twoxchromosomes@slrpnk.net is also an absolute terf magnet that I tried to get shut down

Capaldi is my favourite. He was capable of being funny and a little crazy while also being cool and emotional.

I already contacted the police about the situation and they said it's not illegal. And I'm way too poor to sue a billion dollar company.

Sometimes some of the users are nice and you want to hang with them. Sometimes it's just a misunderstanding. Sometimes you have a political motivation and are motivated not by self-interest to hang with cool people, but by a moral duty to make the world a better place

Yeah, that's better. Misinformation covers situations like defamation and many kinds of hate speech. Although there still needs to be a solution for stalking and sexual harassment, as long as it doesn't overlap and outlaw protest or deplatforming.

No, they don't. You can't contact the admins from an account you can't log into, and you can't log into a suspended account. Also, your PMs won't be seen by any user native to a remote instance you've been banned from, including admins.

Yeah, I haven't used Lemmy in a month because this site is more transphobic than Reddit. I'll be here more now that Reddit isn't an option, but it's not like I think this place is good either. Lemmy needs to step up its game.

Oh yeah I don't allow that sort of thing. I let people be harder on me as a leader than I'd let them be to people I'm responsible for protecting. If I'm to be worthy of power within a community then I have to be willing and able to advocate for the community. That means taking zero tolerance towards attacks on others, and embodying the community's best values to the face of those who disagree. I always give troublemakers clear requirements for remaining in the community if that's what they want. Protest is essential to social health, but it must be done without hate, and it's better for animosity to be directed towards leaders than members.
