Lets make the change now, all wireless data, 'wifi', the cloud, it all comes from the ether.

The thing that makes me laugh about it is the idea that so many cops actually give a shit about those sorts of crimes. It's similar with medical dramas, they'll spend days trying to track down the solution or the victim, in reality after a little bit both doctors and cops will be like "are you sure you didn't make it up?"

What I've heard is that the cops actually are just using the drugs themselves, and so they get caught high and are like "oh shit you can get high just from touching the stuff!!" And now that idea has actually spread beyond the people that were making an excuse.

I agree with you, he may have helped encourage Milei's election but many people have ridiculous views especially at that age, we're all being scammed by people like Milei everyday. At least he is young enough that he still has time to continue education maybe in a different country or if Argentina reverses these policies.

If Milei himself or other people closer to the origin of these bullshit views suffered some consequences I'd be more inclined to laugh but I don't feel much joy when young people get things fucked for them, even if they are idiots, I know when I was 20 there were beliefs I had that I now see are obviously false.

"What do you mean black slaves don't have it as good as the whites? It says right in our founding documents all men are created equal!"

Roma people can justifiably show up in tel aviv tomorrow and start conquering the place since they have no nation of their own

Please Roma, I would donate money for this to happen, unfortunately that would just end with genocide too though.

I honestly think if Trump was put in prison it would increase support and donations from average fans of his, it helps seal the idea that he is a persecuted outsider fighting against the deep state.

Genocide is action or intent to destroy a people in whole or in part because of their status as a member of that group. Israeli officials have made it clear numerous times that their ultimate goal is the removal of the Palestinian people from Palestine, which will result in mass death and destruction of their culture. This is textbook genocide.

It's not though, that is just false. No one in good faith will deny that a country has a right to defend themselves from an attack.

A lot of us believe in Palestinian's right to defend themselves as well. I work in a city, among many people that have no idea what Lemmy even is, there is a Palestinian flag on my work's building and we feel grief at the atrocities committed by Israel. You're right it isn't cut and dry, but the support for Israel is at the lowest I have ever seen in my life.

So instead of just not voting and pussy-ing out encourage yourself and others to do more than just abstain. Voting is only one basic step for a society, we need to take real actions to make the change we want. Part of pussy-ing out is the idea that voting is all we can do, and now that voting seems useless we are just boned. There have always been people on the ground agitating for the real progress.

People saying how can the US support genocide, the question is how can we stop them from supporting a genocide?
