They never really wanted gaza, it's a small piece of land with little historical ties to the bible/Torah. In fact it has more ties to the philistines (non jewish inhabitants of the area), yes that's where the word Palestine comes from, who were there historical enemy.

There long term goal pre October 7th was to try and move all the Palestinians in the rest of Israel into Gaza. You could see this with there funnel immigration policy, if you left Israel for east Jerusalem you couldn't come back to israel, if you left east Jerusalem for the west bank you couldn't come back to Jerusalem, if you left the west bank for Gaza you couldn't come back to the west bank.

The problem with this plan, besides the ethics of doing a slow ethnic cleansing, was that if you concentrate that many people in an open air prison it tends to radicalize them against the wardens. So they had to deal with constant missile fire, they thought Iron dome would solve this but Oct 7th removed that image of safety.

So now they need a new plan. They can't force them out as no country will take them. They can't occupy it long term because it just becomes a pit to throw Israeli soldiers in, that's why they left in 2005. So trump volunteering to take it off there hands is the perfect solution, the u.s. can pay the money and lives in a quagmire while the Israelis can "live in peace"

How does that compare to microk8s? I have been using that for a while and like the plugins.

Man you're getting worse than the hexbear edgelords who just shit on the liberals all day, except at least they're yelling at people in power and not some extremely marginal leftists who would be shot before they could ever take a seat in politics.

A good rule of politics is if someone or an ideology that you don't like and they have no power or connection to power just ignore them, especially if there on your side for 90% of actual relevant issues. Not theoretical issues that may pop up after the revolution that may never come.

I'd recommend visiting it or joining an instance that federates with it at least. The liberals like to make it out to be a communist propaganda machine but most of the content is memes, oss, and general left wing / anti-US stuff. They will ban you on some communities if you bring up tianemen square or uyghurs though, so that sucks, but otherwise most of the content / users on there are decent.

Even better, use the free fillable forms. You can fill them out and submit them all within your browser, no mail or paper required. Even has a do the math button that will add stuff up for you.

Have been using it for the past two tax cycles and once you understand it it's quite easy, only 2 pages needed if you're doing the standard deduction with a w2.

Arms without organization are useless. If you're thinking about getting a gun for defense against the government first figure out who you're going to use that gun with.

Individually owning a gun for the sake of owning a gun does nothing for the cause and is just posturing.

but I have to buy one now because there gonna stop selling them

That is gun industry propaganda to get you to buy more guns.

Not many people want to be seen in a nazi car

Eh, people really like VW bugs, and those we're commissioned by hitler and designed by the nazis. They've done a lot better at distancing themselves from their founder, though.

We need to ban advertising for all addictive substances/activities. We've mostly come to terms with the fact that mixing addiction and marketing are horrible for public health when it comes to cigarettes. We need to extend that to gambling, alcohol, Marijuana, hell even sugary drinks.

Even ignoring the public health implications, it's just cruel to recovering addicts. It must suck to see advertisements of attractive people having fun drinking beer if you're a recovering alcoholic and are just trying to forget about it.

I'm opposed to prohibition as it just ends up jailing minorities and empowering the police, but just because we make something legal to consume doesn't mean we have to give it over to the market and capitalism with its perverse incentives for growth at all costs.

There are like 5 people who post 90% of the content on lemmy. Cm0002 is one of them and really hates tankies / anyone to the left of them.

Most of the content on the "tankie triad" is general left wing anti-us stuff. Occasionally they'll be some post praising China then some liberal will comment something about tianemen square or uyghurs, get banned , and then complain that the whole instance is full of genocide apologists.

It's not like there are regular posts praising Kim jung un or maduro like the liberals make it out to be. There are a decent amount shitting on liberals, like the reverse of this post, which perpetuates this dumb instance war. It'd be best if it stopped as were all "radical leftists" in The eyes of the rest of society and were gonna need some sort of solidarity to accomplish the 90% of things we agree on.
