That is a bizarre twist… So a former Muslim who now hates Islam wants to pose as an islamic terrorist, hoping nobody finds out he’s anti-islam afterwards, I just don’t understand his plan. If he’s right about the state of islamic terrorism (which I wouldn’t know since I don’t live there) he shouldn’t have to contribute to it for people to notice
I’d say the smarter elites would fare better in democracy since there are more options. But it also means arranging the perfect life yourself without burning through all your money.
In dictatorships you can just order people to make your life easy but there are fewer options overall and the people serving you fear for their lives
I can see how people might get a bit NIMBY about islamic terrorism. But he doesn’t even live there, man idk
Not to be confused of course with “balls deep”, which is exactly what it sounds like
I also blocked ml, it just ain’t worth it. I figure the cool people will eventually leave for another instance anyways
I like to insult and block these people. My fear of course, with Lemmy being so small, is I will block everyone. Then again, that’s still better than dealing with illiterate, contrarian assholes
I would, just out of respect for what he has to contribute to the family, but also to finally give my mother some time off
I highly doubt he sees it that way, in fact this is also something that has poisoned discourse lately. How is your first assumption that he wants innocent people to die? Like seriously, everyone needs to stop making assumptions like that… it’s so extremely unlikely he actually feels that way.
Maybe he’s just a bit surprised at the left wing support for a state that hates Jews, women, and gay people. And a state that in large part does endorse the deaths of innocent people and would if they only could. Israel on the other hand wouldn’t be doing much right now if they weren’t bombed
Is that a direct quote?
How did it never apply? Palestine isn’t exactly progressive, so the fact that progressives support it is actually one of the ways the label doesn’t fit him anymore
It’s just his perception, there are interviews where he explains it and I have no interest in speaking further on his behalf
He’s still not conservative. He just perceives that the progressive label has changed so quickly that he no longer applies it to himself
Edit: That’s quite an echo chamber you guys got here. Would be a shame if any outside opinions found their way in
I may have read it wrong but my understanding was Amazon pulled back their own drivers from those zipcodes and delegated their packages to other carriers
There’s a mission exactly like this in GTA V, you kill the LifeInvader CEO and watch the stock market go brrrrr
They mention targeted attacks against drivers in these zip codes. If it’s really about race, why stop at those 2?
Not that they should hold out on their promise to subscribers but I don’t buy the race angle
Not with that attitude
Racism is a real issue, race is made up and needs to go away. If we divide people arbitrarily using a skin color chart, we’re encouraging people’s minds to see differences where there aren’t and feeding the beast that is racism. We need to recognize the effects of racist behavior, but not play their game
I agree 100%. The answer is that people are dumb and like tribalism so they keep it going. Anyone that thinks perpetuating division will result in progress is an idiot, and frankly identity politics are a distraction from real issues like poverty
There was time now!
There’s usually logic in people’s decisions even if the logic ultimately derives from nonsense. Not that you have any obligation to understand it but I like to figure these kinds of things out
