Considering how much surveillance israel has on occupied territories its still interesting how October 7 just kinda happened like that

So cool to hear from lebanon… first world country mates dont really realize how much they take things for granted lol… things like 24/7 electricity and drinking tap water supply isnt rlly a thing in so many regions…

Well lets see how much germany cares about rule of law when its allies are the ones who decide not to follow it

I am not really sure if these Nazis are pushing their damn luck or are most Indians just happy breathing air that is poison, having beverages from eggs to milk that are fake, and giving all their wealth to billionaires as long as muslims keep getting killed

You know a state is fucked up if its alienating the biggest and most powerful terrorist state in the world

Was just browsing reddit and the amount of israeli simping is insane… just the sheer amount of money they have to spend on propaganda campaigns…. dismantle the terrorist dystopian state and the ideology its based on, one palestinian state with equal rights for all

I am not sure what u mean by “care” but as someone who grew up isolated music has always been my best friend… or to be more accurate the best coping mechanism haha, you can coast through your moods and twists and turns of your life much better when you have a song to match your innerstate, idk but its like a way to validate ur internal emotions (which can get intense) in a safe way, nothing better than screaming “so give me reasonnn, to prove me wrong” after feeling betrayed🫣

Peoples satisfaction isnt a metric of democracy, are a lot of people happy with chinas government? Maybe, minorities certainly arent tho But the reason its undemocratic is that there isnt really anything to challenge the CCP or its policies, and dissent is punished and censored, people have historically been happy under monarchs, but doesnt make them democratic…

I dont think even you would agree that china is democratic tho… not to say the west are perfect democracies, and the data u provided reflects people thoughts… the china one raises some questions…

Thanks for ur perspective, i think they r fair points, but you are giving up a lot of personal liberty and freedom of expression if you are OK with systems of something like PRC, but i suppose that can be classified as a choice However I think that the censorship that goes around such countries also makes it harder for us to know anything other than for example China might want to show us, we dont really have much idea of how internal dynamics work there and if u choose to believe personal testimonies its not pretty…

Lemmy politics i find a bit confusing and maybe i dont understand it very well but all forms of black and white communism /marxism-leninism always seemed to have lead to totalitarian states… like correct me if wrong, its fair and completely normal to say that whatever the west amd especially countries like USA an UK are bullshit and need to dismantled atleast large parts of it… but i dont understand why they jump instantly to models of china and Russia… like i said maybe i dont understand it well enough…

(Atleast) 5 civilians in exchange for 1 terrorist, and that too despite a ceasefire, imagine if a non US aligned state did this… one wud assume with their intelligence in military prowess they could easily carry out hyper precise assassinations rather than bombing a dense neighborhood, and these are the ones that claim palestinians and muslims are barbaric and subhuman, but as they say… every accusation is a confession

Exactly, many folks arnd me are more and more easily buying into conspiracy theories and stuff like “antisemitism doesnt exist” after israels insanity and its excuse of antisemitism… the word is slowly turning into a joke and sadly the innocent ones will suffer with the genocidal ethno state being one of the biggest reasons for it

Anyone outside of the of the US privileged goons who thought “gaza is not my problem” will soon realized what happened there isnt just a conflict, but a total annihilation of the supposed “international law”

Any country is now free to do whatever the fuck it wants if it can “donate” or “flatter” the rogue state of United states enough… Fuck russia israel and the US, and even the EU which keeps supporting these murdererers under the guise of “neutrality”

Have fun as we head back to a world where borders are decided by force and u can get wiped out because of following the wrong ideology or being the wrong ethnicity

When are we gonna start calling them terrorists?

Welp there is a diff between not encouraging violence and saying violence should never be used in any circumstances, you are right that major revolutions and resistance always have an element of violence in them, thats a different thing

But in a normal everyday life resorting to violence should be the last resort, its unpredictable, not just (what if your bully is stronger than u?) and undermines rule of law, I was replying in the context of the comment abt having a punch card to be used every 6 months, not in context of resistance or revolutions, sorry if the distinction was not understandable

I have actually thought quite a lot about this lol, and I kinda agree with you, violence should never be encouraged, but humans evolved to fear getting punched in the face or being eaten alive by a wild animal, not formal and polite warnings and fine haha, again not trying to make any point but just smthng i find interesting

The map of your face?🤔

Its been a few months since i read anything lmao but i read the map of salt and stars and the beauty of your face last, tried to read the other zeyn joukhadars book abt being arab and a queer but it was just too much for me😅 i am not smart enough to read that lol
