Literally, if a politician was imprisoned for firebombing a billionaires house I would be intrigued by their campaign.

We can be so much more creative than that. There are mountains of actions we can take in addition to voting to change things.

Why should we accept that the only people we can vote for are evil? Every US election has been this way for at least 20 years now. One less than the other everytime (depending on perspective) but if the only options are widely seen as evil, we must do something to change this.

I love how the post I saw immediately before this was about Biden's new Trump insult, 'Broke Don'. So insult your rivals by calling them poor, definitely a good way to relate to struggling voters.

"Oh my god you shot me, I'm going to die, but I don't blame you because you didn't invent the gun"

Is it really so unpopular among actual people? It's politically not popular, but people in the US are beginning to see the IDF and Israeli government for what they are. I have been seeing Palestinian flags and other shows of support all over since October, and Western media makes little attempt to justify the atrocities by the IDF in their reporting.

It's been a common practice for militaries all over, it's not a secret, you can read about it elsewhere if you like. You are right though, my source is my personal knowledge of the subject.

They don't bother to identify them, if they are male between the ages of 16 and 50 they label them a potential combatant. They have been bombing civilians indiscriminately for years, but they have upped the intensity to levels unseen in years.

Gazas population isn't currently growing, over 32,000 Palestinians have been killed since October

It's an opinion piece, they start out with their claim and try to back it up, it's not a news article, what is the problem?

It's like combat, companies like this see it as necessary to take every protective step possible, they have an inferior product so manipulation is the only way to maintain their monopoly

Facebook and others actively promote harmful content because they know it drives interactions, I believe it's possible to punish corps without making the internet overly policed.

You have views that are independently more left or right, but say if your views were a political party, it would be placed on a spectrum from left to right based on how many of these positions fall on either side of the spectrum. Typically the views that are seen as far left and far right are mutually exclusive, like authoritarian centralized governance versus decentralization, increased immigration vs decreased, but it's true there is a lot of nuance lost when things are viewed that way.

"I want to eradicate non-whites and install a christo-fascist dictator" is as obnoxious as "all people deserve housing and healthcare and a system based on extracting all excess profit from workers is exploitation"

Sorry to say if your views are closer to true libertarianism and the principles favored by those links you would likely be considered distinctly leftist. Dbzer0 is a primarily anarchist community, on the far-left.

To be fair they do say they "need to be" transparent, not that they were going to be :p

I've never noticed any defederation from my instance or drama aside from the main posts talking about it, and if you came here interested in a piracy community it's good for that, lemmy.dbzer0.com. "Lemmy.World" seems to be where all the drama happens hah. I have only ever made one account, interact with several different instances without issue. I agree using several accounts would be annoying.

Is the frog captive though? I had a cat that became mine after it starting killing the mice in my garage, so it was mutually beneficial, maybe the frog and the spider have an understanding.

Palestine is a distinct people and culture, attempting to destroy a national group is genocide.

I have an android from 2018, it still works great and I can run adblock on firefox, eat shit apple!

There are crypto ads involved in the product though? Fuck that, even if it was default off
