neptune, in At what point is violence on a large scale justified?

Hmmm I’m going to re-watch Andor and then read some books about the American Revolution and get back with you.

neptune, in Who's going to pay for the reconstruction of Gaza

The whole point is to take the land. So you are not quite asking the right question. Israel presumably will. So that it can occupy the land.

iByteABit, in How is your part of the world doing?

I’m from Greece.

30 years ago people were still living the dream which was all a house of cards called loans. Then the market crisis happened and we got fucked unable to get new ones and pay off the old ones.

After that, we kept getting blackmailed by the Eurozone and the IMF so that we would get the loans we needed to fix our country, but under harsh conditions that basically sustain our poverty instead of fixing it in any way. We signed away the people’s livelihoods so that we could be Europe’s economic lab rat and slave, all to their benefit.

Our current government is as liberal capitalist as it gets, privatizing everything and making life crap for the poor (who are becoming more and more as time passes). Fascism is also on the rise, following the theme of Europe and the US.

The government owns almost all the media and most other parties in the parliament are also aligned with the ruling one. Climate change is beggining to hit hard, every time revealing the cheap infrastructure and postponed plans by contractors.

Instead of hiring more firemen, our government continues to allocate way too much money on cops, riot control, and the media it bribes.

Maybe the EU’s fucking around ends up with a communist revolution, I bet they won’t be too happy about it then.

A common one is # or + while trying to hit Enter. Also annoying is Caps Lock instead of Shift.

Krudler,

First thing I do with every new keyboard, at home or at work, is literally remove the CAPS LOCK key and throw it in the garbage.

Yes I know that there is software solutions, but it’s just easier this way, especially when I don’t necessarily have admin privileges

Given how Iran actively funds the rockets that are being launched from residential rooftops in Gaza, and how Qatar is casually financing the lavish lifestyles of the Hamas leaders living in Qatar (enjoying paradise on earth while they convince their jihadists of committing terror in the hopes of entering paradise after death), I don’t think it would be a problem for them to also spare some money for the reconstruction, right?

Iran’s oil revenue should be seized and their money in foreign banks should be frozen until we arrive at the reconstruction process, assuming the war even ends, so that the frozen assets pay for that, both for Gaza and Israel.

Can I remind you that the US has already had a hand in replacing the leadership once and how that turned out.

AlmightySnoo, (edited )
@AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world avatar

That’s besides the point, my comment didn’t exclude any other financing, feel free to argue for others also chipping in. Now, why would you be opposed to forcing Iran to pay for their sponsoring of terrorism? Why do you believe Iran shouldn’t pay?

deadcatbounce,
@deadcatbounce@reddthat.com avatar

I’m not.

I’m against the US interfering militarily covertly or otherwise in matters because it usually ends up creating more of a mess than it was before.

gravitas_deficiency,

The US https://www.democracynow.org/2010/5/6/history_of_bp_includes_role_in - lest we forget that even back then, it was all about oil.

@deadcatbounce@reddthat.com avatar

Fair point. Perhaps you know who was the major player. I really can’t tell which one: BP or The United States? So difficult to tell.

NoIWontPickaName, (edited )

Is Israel going to pay even more for funding hamas and helping to create support them in the first place?

AtmaJnana, (edited )

That’s a conspiracy theory. I spent 30 minutes searching and found no evidence Israel ever materially supported Hamas. At most they tolerated and maybe encouraged them as a counterweight to Fatah.

NoIWontPickaName,

I found one where they controlled the purse strings and talked about how keeping Hamas helped them keep Palestine down.

I'll give you opinion but not conspiracy theory

  • NoIWontPickaName,

    Let me make this plain for you.

    Support innocents on both sides.

    Fuck Hamas and Israel both for their actions against innocents.

    Now will you say the same or try to call me antisemitic again?

    I might he wrong, about them supporting Hamas but I doubt Israeli newspapers would lie about about Netanyahu supporting Hamas and funding them years ago.

    I believe it was a times of Israel article but i will see if i can find and link it

    @AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world avatar

    Don’t evade the “and create them in the first place” that you put out there.

    tallwookie,

    perhaps Qatar is the fabled Jannah? yeah, Iranian financial lockdown is coming soonish

    WeLoveCastingSpellz, in How is your part of the world doing?

    Turkey. Bad, nothing more to say

    Everythingispenguins,

    I actually wish you would say more. I only know generally how turkey is doing now and I know almost nothing about how it was in the 90s. Please feel free to educate us.

    WeLoveCastingSpellz,

    Sorry, I very genuinely don’t feel like it

    Everythingispenguins,

    That is okay I understand, I genuinely hope that things will get better for you and everyone around you.

    iByteABit,

    I’m from Greece, I hope things get better for you

    Hank Hill, I never met someone who liked him and stood for anything asinine.

    slazer2au, in yesterday I posted a funny picture, and without any message, it got deleted from my profile.. how censure work here?

    Did you call the post “the average lemmist”?

    Of so the post was removed by a mod a couple hours ago.
    lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=1212245

    ooli,

    Yeah that was it. So they remove stuff, without explanation. I bet this must work well. Thanks for the link… I will store that , to check what is happening behind the curtains

    You don’t even have to save that link. In the online version of lemmy at least it says “Modlog” at the bottom of every page.

    Anti_Weeb_Penguin, in How is your part of the world doing?

    Argentina.

    Kinda poor and heavily indebted but at least it’s far away from any war zone, and much much better than it was 40 years ago.

    Hawke, in What's a button you hate tapping or clicking accidentally?

    The mute icon on a browser tab. Chancrs of wanting to select the tab: 80%, close the tab, 20%, mute 0%. If I want to do that I’ll right-click and choose from the menu.

    OceanSoap, in How is your part of the world doing?

    I’m in AZ, USA, and I like it. Everyone outside of AZ is freaking out about the weather, but I enjoy it. I’m much more comfortable in the dry heat than I am in 75°f with humidity.

    Anyway, I like that we’re a pro-abortion state and a pro-gun state. I like that there’s a lot of thought diversity here and less anger in general.

    I feel good here

    JokeDeity, in What popular quote are you tired of hearing?

    No one wants to work anymore.

    MaxHardwood,

    I sure as fuck don’t

    whoisearth, in What's the most unique role model you've heard that was a green flag?

    Killer Mike. He a real one.

    Charles Barkley as well.

    iron__giant,

    I just went to RTJX in Atlanta and had the time of my life. It was awesome to hear Mike and El telling stories between songs.

    whoisearth,
    @whoisearth@lemmy.ca avatar

    I’m beyond jelly at that. I’d love to see them live one day. I saw El way back in the day with Aesop.

    Horrors of Spider Island (1960)

    B&W, german production, bad dubbing, 10 girls 1 guy, Stanley Kubrick’s cinematographer, uranium, exploitation flick, plane crash, plenty of WTF, island, oh and some spiders.

    Step into bizzaro world.

    A few versions on archive.org. Apparently the restored one includes the original German adult content that was cut for the 1962 rerelease.
