The activists defaced the building of a group directly contributing to the genocide. Genocide is violence, and violence can ethically be fought through violence.

Peaceful protest is a good, ethical, and proven method. So is fighting fascists and their supporters directly.

Violently fighting fascists is always good, Kant agrees too, so does MLK and Jesus.

Lol!

You're the one who juxtaposed the activists, MLK, and Jesus, not me. I even said you weren't doing it in good faith. Don't try to flip your own bullshit on me.

I never criticized anyone working hard to shed light on injustice. I have neither claims on what is "the right way" to do activism, nor accolades for my wondrous successes. I'm not whining or complaining about anyone doing actual work or trying their best to achieve actual results.

Your calls for me to prove what I never claimed ring hollow, but your silence on the proven effectiveness of your superior and enlightened methods screams loudly and reverberates far.

Almost as far as the chasm between your claim that you don't support genocide and your actions which appear to consist entirely of chastising anyone who takes steps to fight against genocide because "they're doing it wrong"

The only wrong way to fight fascism and genocide is not to fight at all. But you're going even further, you fight against those who do fight. Which is to say, you fight on the side of those who are committing genocide.

I don't think that comparison is in good faith. That being said Jesus and MLK DID achieve results, which proves their views on activism are both effective.

You argue your views on activism are valid, and even superior to MLK's views and yet you have nothing to show for it. Your unqualified armchair quarterback opinions aren't worth the storage space they use up.

The activists are fighting for something they believe in, they're doing it in a way that's effective enough that you're here commenting about it. I'm not going to sit here and criticize their efforts while doing nothing. That's just supporting the status quo which, in case you haven't noticed, is genocide.

Ah yes. Thanks to your enlightened and superior views on political activism you've surely achieved enlightened and superior results to MLK...

No? Just defending genocide and attacking those who oppose it?

Weird....

If someone slapped me with that I'd prefer it sliced my wrists. I don't want to live knowing I've worn one.

Dude, ease up on the narcotics my man.

Yeah we found their temple. Their pedophile temple. Because they're pedophiles. Yes evangelicals are often accelerationists, because they want Jesus to hurry up so they can get raptured or whatever.

Things generally have simple explanations. No need to connect things that aren't connected.

AI isn't a person. It's just a bunch of numbers that get multiplied with an input.

To make those numbers a real person steals everyone's art and find out which set of numbers best copies that art.

It's pure theft, if you only feed it a few comics it will recreate them as perfectly as a photocopier. The magic is that if you feed it enough art it's copies become less authentic to the original (although sometimes still almost identical) so people feel like it's an "artist making new art" instead of a broken copy machine. Then you slap a name like "AI Model" on the copyright infringement machine and you can sell a subscription for 30$/month so any moron can copyright infringe. Best part is they take the liability!

What a great money making deal, and you can kill the environment all at the same time!

I fucking love this place. Nowhere else on the Internet would someone suggest using the

"I'm having fun lubricating hinges and I've run out of doors" excuse.

I'm here for it, you guys are all awesome, lubricate ALL the hinges!

Good. We don't tolerate the intolerant!

[–] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Hate speech is illegal here. We don't have free speech like the Americans, we don't have to tolerate the intolerant.

Yes, you're right. Taken completely out of context you just asked if there were many non-Jews in Israel. Absolutely. What does the context matter anyways? We should treat everything as an independent unrelated statement!

[–] Hacksaw@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Even if Israel was 100% Jewish that doesn't mean being anti Israel is the same as being anti Jewish. Only if every Israeli is Jewish and every Jew is Israeli are the two equivalent.

Just see all the Jews who are against the current Israeli genocide to understand the distinction.

 
 

I saw a convoy of about 30 cars on the highway back in October. I looked it up and found nothing. Then I see a Reddit post in /r/vexillollogy with the same flag and no useful answers.

It's so weird that people bought like 100 of these flags and there is no info on them at all!

I flipped the picture to make the flag the right way.

 

The laughable Bank of Canada report even includes the line

Why did this increase in markups not contribute significantly to inflation? We show that markup growth reached its highest level because of a contraction in firms’ costs [...] during the pandemic-related public health interventions

So when their costs go down they keep the prices the same and pocket the difference, BoC report verdict "profit growth without inflation". So what happens when costs go back up?

We observe a mild contribution of markup growth to inflation in 2021, partially explained by demand rebounding faster than costs. However, the fact that markup growth fell to zero the following year indicates that firms were likely smoothing out their price increases [...] rather than leveraging increases in market power.

So when the costs go back up, they pass 100% of the cost to the consumer and keep their new higher profit margins (no change in markup). BoC verdict "the inflation has nothing to do with profit growth". Amazing!

If industry follows this "price ratchet" mechanism profit margins can go to infinity "without causing inflation" according to BoC. Absolutely galaxy brain levels of economic genius.

They really think we're idiots.
