Bruh you just laughed at foreign women facing genocide because she dared to hope that Harris and the America youth would help ease their suffering and oppose Netanyahu.

Don't pretend for a fucking second that you actually care about foreign women. "Leftists" like you are more like "liberals" than liberals are. You are everything you accuse them of being.

All of you that I've met are incredibly quick to abandon leftist ideals if it means laughing alongside fascists at the "libs being owned".

You're so right, the reporter, Ahmed Masood, probably is totally incorrect. /s

Laughing at hopeful Palestinians who face genocide every day. And you have the gall to consider yourself an ally?

Not at all, the vice president has like no powers or responsibilities. The most significant things they can do is break a tie in the Senate.

Actual Palestinians didn't find it meaningless, apparently. And if they can believe it, so can we.

Of everyone, people in Gaza have the most right to be cynical. Yet, they aren't. If they have hope, who are we to say their hope is wrong?

This is what I'm referring to. Palestinians hopeful that Harris will bring change and feeling encouraged that she's rebuked Netanyahu.

If people digging out their dead children can be hopeful that she'll bring change, instead of cynical, perhaps you should follow their example.

Yeah, no. Look at what they're actually saying. Their position is that they're hopeful Harris will bring a difference and they're impressed that she's rebuked Netanyahu.

Who said I was supporting the genocide and the defense of it? I take the same approach as them in the letter. It's an undeniable genocide and horrific, but the situation is most likely to get better under Harris, not Trump.

If agreeing with that letter is weaponizing my identity against solidarity with Palestine, what do you think of the letter writers?

As a brown person myself I want to know if you agree with the leaders or if you're saying you know better than us. It's hardly racist to wonder if we're being patronized by people who claim to know better than us.

Oh good point, I guess those Palestinians forgot all about the bombing and dead children and digging out their families when they said they prefer Harris to Trump.

You ain't no fucking ally, so don't pretend to be one. Responding to "Palestinians seem to prefer Harris" with "they'll be ecstatic that a brown woman is bombing them" is infantilising them and their opinions. It's disgusting.

Just say it, "anticolonialist". Say what you really mean, and that you know better than all of us brown people about what's best for us. Go on, continue to deride our difficult choices and tell us how much better you know than us.

You aren't living up to your username, and I hope that makes you second guess things. As a brown guy you're no better than a colonialist in my eyes. And I think my people have had enough of you.

The only thing disgusting here is that you assume you've got a moral high ground and superiority over these Arab, Muslim, and Palestinian community leaders. I trust their opinion.

I'm tired of champagne socialists pretending to be all for progressive causes and then they act like they know better than us brown people and are our wiser saviors. As a brown person, that makes you no better than a Republican in my eyes. Stop using us as a cudgel and patronizing us instead of listening to us. Strip away your imperialist mindset and listen to AAPI people to try and win for once.

So, do you agree with these Muslim leaders, or are you saying you know better than them?

 

First off, terrible headline. The "ruled by men" is totally unnecessary and biased.

Second, there are certainly much worse events going on in the world right now. This is hardly the most important.

It's an interesting article though about how some women feel in China about government policies and how they're meeting to discuss feminism and women empowerment. It's disappointing to see that the Chinese government has adopted a similar stance to US Republicans.

 

Not much info at time of posting what prompted the man to do so

 

Edit: It looks like the argument here is that the US is not calling for an instant ceasefire, but instead saying that one is very important to have. China and Russia say it should be immediate. The US also tied it to hostage talks.

Another resolution is in the works to call for an immediate ceasefire, but the US is expected to veto it because they believe it could endanger hostage talks.

 

This is an excellent article. It follows an Israeli peace activist and a Palestinian peace activist who work together with a group that believes communication between Israelis and Palestinians is paramount to having a peaceful resolution.

What it does really well is highlight how the two of them talk past each other and don't realize it -- one of them makes an innocuous comment, and the other thinks it's something bad but doesn't speak up necessarily.

The article also provides really good perspective on how misinformation and fog of war are affecting the conflict. It highlights situations where Israelis are lied to and shown selective news, and where Palestinians are lied to and shown selective news.

 

The article provided a good overview of the situation and firsthand accounts, plus marked up maps. The maps make it clear just how ridiculous their claims are. It's like a modern "manifest destiny" philosophy.

 

I'm rather curious to see how the EU's privacy laws are going to handle this.

In short, we aren't on track to an apocalyptic extinction, and the new head is concerned that rhetoric that we are is making people apathetic and paralyzes them from making beneficial actions.

He makes it clear too that this doesn't mean things are perfectly fine. The world is becoming and will be more dangerous with respect to climate. We're going to still have serious problems to deal with. The problems just aren't insurmountable and extinction level.

 

Which of the following sounds more reasonable?

  • I shouldn't have to pay for the content that I use to tune my LLM model and algorithm.

  • We shouldn't have to pay for the content we use to train and teach an AI.

By calling it AI, the corporations are able to advocate for a position that's blatantly pro corporate and anti writer/artist, and trick people into supporting it under the guise of a technological development.

 

There's just something fucking hilarious about laying off employees, mocking them, and being sued for improperly firing them -- and then whining that your competitor hired them and that they have access to Twitter information still.

I believe this fits well under the "fuck around and find out" doctrine.
