i know there are. that doesn’t change the fact that only 46% of americans support israel. not a majority. i’m not using lemmy as my basis, i’m using the best most up to date data available, and that indicates a majority of americans do not support israel
the majority of Americans don’t support israel. it’s a superwealthy minority who dictates policy. the issue is too many americans have been propagandized to believe they have no power, no voice
it’s called “racketeering”
no. just to inclusive, non-male specific pronouns. and it was the way he handled himself in the conversation.
right wingers like right wingers. they understand the@ because they are them. they think they can win the zero sum games they see the world as as long as their opponent is also engaged in a zero sum game.
in fairness trump and vance have also done this to their face, so at least the messaging is consistent
that headline again, “Serbia deputy prime minister says Russian spies help pervent him from needing to listen”
the whole entire conversation about pronouns was exactly a conversation about this. the request to change to more inclusive pronouns was a request that he make the project more inclusive to people like us, the queer community, who have been getting pushed out of open source ever since brandon eich was named ceo of mozilla. andreas kling’s response was that we were being too sensitive and he didn’t want to scare of contributors by getting too political. the problem is that in saying that, he’s saying he finds one set of contributions and politics acceptable, and another set not.
the same goes for his responses to people asking him to leave twitter. he says he would rather stay on twitter because mastodon is too political. and there it is again. twitter, at the time of the conversation, was already becoming a nazi cesspool that people were leaving en masse, but because his tweets got more engagement there than on mastodon, he stuck with twitter.
i’ll gather some links for you after work, but i’m just… a little surprised you were familiar enough with the situation to know it happened and not familiar enough to know the context for why it mattered
the ladybird dev wants to work with people who want me dead. so. yeah, fuck him. mozilla ain’t great, but they’re the least dangerous engine builders right now. servo would be a better engine for us to rally around, but everyone would rather talk about the less mature, more fascist accepting, project.
nazis are bad. that’s the hill i’m willing to die on. this is bigger than a browser engine.
the lead dev is a freeze peach absolutist. he’s said some ignorant shit about trans people and when people said “hey, let’s adjust this language” he was like “let’s not get political”
100%, this is either uninformed or some apologia
if you ask me, yes
this is the terrifying thing about hegemony. the ruling class uses it to convince people to think things are normal that aren’t. racism is only 400 years old. across the globe societies had trans and non binary people until colonialism arrived in their place. so called “barter” societies that predated currency weren’t using resources in inefficient systems of trade, they were just sharing with eachother because compassion and love for our neighbors is far more default and natural to us than religious leaders want you to think.
