  • I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.

  • Israel told them to go to safe spots, such as refugee shelters or the Rafah crossing. The bombed both anyways. Not only does it take significantly more time to evacuate 2 million people, they had no where to evacuate to. This ship and the employers had an option, go through a passageway where they were explicitly warned they would be fired upon or turn back. They chose to ignore explicit orders believing the US had more control and could grant them safe passage. That’s not remotely comparable.









  • I mostly feel for the two developers who have the task of building a social media network for a wage that couldn’t buy you one developer. They’re overloaded with issues and project goals. You cannot go 10 minutes on the ‘fediverse’ without hearing how the developers are awful tankies while then demanding them to add features. Must be exhausting.

    I agree its an important feature, I want the internet to have privacy in mind. But its really easy to overlook how much work they put in only to be met with such hostility. Everyone talks about ‘but let’s just fork it, that’s the beauty of open source’ when I guarantee you will not find devs with the same dedication or passion.

    Hope that people can agree that wanting this feature is A-OK but that the people working on this project are just overworked people who deserve a bit more respect.


  • Non-Jewish Arabs in the basic laws of Israel do not have rights to self determination. Its a fucking apartheid state. Its like saying millions of native Africans lived in South Africa. These people only had a reason to attack because they live in an open air prison that mirrors a Warsaw ghetto with complete siege from their neighbor. A lot of the things they did was retaliation and a deep brewing anger. What the fuck were they supposed to do? March peacefully? Israel shot them by the thousands in 2018 when they tried to. where is your humanity?


  • You are ridiculous. First you spread misinformation about the ICJ ruling, bending what the ruling meant. Now you are trying to use a ‘no, you’ card to bend my words and pretend that there hasn’t been a racist campaign against Palestinians and Arabs for decades.

    There were likely rapes that occurred on October 7th, and there have been rapes of Israeli detained Palestinian hostages as well. How can you not see that one is now being used as a racial justification for genocide while the other is ignored.
