fosforus, to linux in I had a journey

I was feeling the last part had some more story behind it so I went ahead and found this:

Seems like I’m a full-blown woke communist too

As an 80s kid, before I learned a few things about how the world works, fear was very much one of the top feelings I got when near guys I knew were gay. Perhaps you youngsters got to skip that phase.

I never translated that to hate, though. I don’t exactly understand how that process even works. I’ve hated a few individual people in my life (100% because of what they did to me), and I feared none of them.

Or perhaps we know history and economics.

What were you promised? Like, owning a home? Home ownership rates in the US have been in the 63-70% range during all of 1966-2023, almost completely stable. Local purchasing power is #5 in the world for americans. What exactly is the problem over there?

We in Europe are having it much worse if you look at the data, especially now when Russia is being fucking Russia.

fosforus, to memes in Not such a conspiracy theory now

Reality seems to again be more like Aldous Huxley than George Orwell. We will pay to get these things in our heads eventually.

I’m uplifted too when people I strongly dislike die, but I wouldn’t post such things here.

fosforus, (edited ) to news in You wanted a multipolar world? You got chaos. [Edit: Do Hamas represent Palestinians?]

If you’re looking for a thoughtful legal analysis, you should check this out: thenation.com/…/harvard-law-review-gaza-israel-ge…

This seemed like a high quality analysis by a respectable academic, then the very first source I checked out turned out to be an amazing exaggeration. The article states

Tens of thousands are injured, and over 45% of homes in Gaza have been destroyed.

So I check the source, which is a paywalled WSJ article. Already the title of the article is

At Least 45% of Housing Units Destroyed or Damaged in Gaza

Destroyed or damaged. Should I check the other sources for similar “mistakes”? Perhaps I just got lucky and found the only bullshit reference from this article written by a Harvard Law School PhD graduate?

Or perhaps Harvard Law Review was onto something when they didn’t publish it and I would be wasting my time looking through all of them instead of just trusting them on this.

I’m very comfortable calling the campaign against Gaza in the last few weeks genocide

Why?

fosforus, (edited ) to news in U.S. President Biden says "Gaza and the West Bank should be reunited under single government" and "extremist violence against Palestinians in the West Bank must stop"

Netanyahu has gone on record saying he has helped prop Hamas up in order to sow division between Gaza and the West Bank.

Do you have a source for this? I couldn’t find it, although this was pretty close: timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-…

fosforus, to news in American leftists are celebrating Hamas?

Like, adl.org/…/fringe-left-groups-express-support-hama…

But I guess you wanted me to explicitly say that “some left” are doing that. That’s fine. It is indeed a fringe portion of the left, and also not everybody on the right are hateful nazis.

fosforus, (edited ) to memes in It's a simple world view

You’re implying that the meme “capitalism bad” has amazing amounts of nuance.

fosforus, (edited ) to news in Heads of 3 top US colleges refuse to say calling for genocide of Jews is harassment

I’m guessing you’re gonna say that there is no genocide if not all or most of the people are killed, because then their people have survived. But, genocide also incorporates cultural genocide.

No, I’m saying that population doesn’t grow during a genocide.

That’s the fate the Israeli state wants for Palestine. It is still technically genocide.

But… Palestinian Arabs are >20% of the population of Israel. You’re making absolutely no sense.

fosforus, to news in Heads of 3 top US colleges refuse to say calling for genocide of Jews is harassment

I feel like there’s some weird context here. Why does Stefanik want to get that “yes” and why are they reluctant to say it? Would it be a declaration of some university policy that would lead to suppressing the demonstrations or what?

fosforus, to linuxmemes in Accurate?

I don’t get all the Apple hate from the Linux community.

Being poor hurts. Distributing hurt makes it feel better.

fosforus, to linuxmemes in Steve Balmer quotes

Oh come on, that is such a lazy argument. I suppose you’re an economics PhD then?

fosforus, (edited ) to linuxmemes in Steve Balmer quotes

What, genuinely, is unpleasant to imagine about a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society?

That attempts to implement it invariably lead to shit, apparently.
