New Jersey isn’t real, it’s just a suburb of NYC and Philly.
NY, Florida, Texas, California are the only states, the rest is Ohio
No, I’m saying you should be careful in cases where it could be taken as an antisemitic dogwhistle.
That’s not the case at all, you can look at my post history if you want to know the things I think.
It’s just you generally want to avoid antisemitic tropes when you’re talking about Zionists because antisemites say Zionist when they mean Jew.
Depicting Zionists as lizards isn’t great.
Is europe gonna actually get snow though? Or is it going to continue to be drier?
I couldn’t get past the 4th example of “non-violence” without laughing at how wildly revisionist they are. While each of these had non-violent components, none of them would have succeeded without violence. The housing rights act wasn’t passed until literally every city was on fire.
The British gave up their occupation of India after a decades-long nonviolent struggle by the Indian population led by Mohandas Gandhi.
The Danes, Norwegians and other peoples in Europe used civil resistance against Nazi invasion during World War II, raising the costs to Germany of its occupation of these nations, helping to strengthen the spirit and cohesion of their people, and saving the lives of thousands of Jews in Berlin to Copenhagen to Paris and elsewhere.
Labor movements around the world have consistently used tactics of civil resistance to win concessions for workers throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
African Americans used civil resistance in their struggle to dissolve segregation in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s.
non-violent resistance is more often effective
It’s only ever effective when a credible violent alternative is present.
No oppressed person in history has ever gotten their rights by appealing to the better nature of their oppressor.
Civil rights weren’t won when black people asked politely and just moved everyone’s heats at how unjustly they were being treated, when MLK died, he had a 75% disapproval rating, but through repeated demonstrations of power and showing what would happen if their demands weren’t met.
alcoholicorn@lemmy.mlto politics @lemmy.world•John Fetterman calls for Trump pardon in Truth Social debut, cementing progressive pariah status0·5 months agoHe was always like this, he just became more abrasive after the stroke.
We just closed our eyes and looked the other way when he showed himself to be a rabid zionist and assumed he’d grown from when he chased a black man through neighborhood with a shotgun.
You see him go against AIPAC-backed corpo dems in the primary and interpreted some labor rhetoric and putting a hammer and sickle in his profile pic and it’s easy to mislead yourself.
It’s what happens when you don’t do the critical part of critical support.
This is different from Sinoma who simply lied about all of her positions.
Holy shit why are people hemming and hawing about Hunter Biden when he let this fucking monster off?
smh. How are you ever going to learn to catch mice when you can’t catch one in your own bed?

alcoholicorn@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Google gets an error-corrected quantum bit to be stable for an hourEnglish0·5 months agoIt can be useful if they build enough of these that they can run programs that regular computers can’t run at this scale, in less than an hour.
Quantum computers aren’t a replacement for regular computers because they’re much slower and can’t do normal calculations, but they can do the type of problem where you have to guess-and-check too many answers to be feasible with regular computers in many fewer steps.
alcoholicorn@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Luigi Mangione, CEO shooting suspect, is a tech workerEnglish0·5 months agoRunning for office wouldn’t have stopped the CEO from continuing to murder thousands, since the CEO and his shareholders literally spend billions making sure people who would stop them don’t get elected.
Killing a CEO doesn’t solve anything, another will take his place, and surely he knew that.
Yeah, this is why adventurism doesn’t really work. The guy’s actions were ineffective at systemic change, however just they may have been.
alcoholicorn@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Luigi Mangione, CEO shooting suspect, is a tech workerEnglish0·5 months agoLuigi wasn’t really in a position where he could stop the CEO through any lesser use of force.
alcoholicorn@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Luigi Mangione, CEO shooting suspect, is a tech workerEnglish0·5 months agoVigilante justice indicates a failure in the system to administer justice.
It is absolutely in society’s interest that someone who has caused deaths and misery of thousands is punished.

He may also had no intention of disposal
The whole point of a ghost gun is to be able to throw it away and have it not traced back to you.
