Yeah and except on lemmygrad etc. we all agree that a genocide against Uyghurs is happening and it’s horrible. And from the indigenous communities globally, to Ukraine, Congo, Sudan, the Middle East, Xingjiang and Myanmar I wish freedom to all.

IMO they usually bring this up to deflect from their own genocides like in Gaza or in the Americas & the commonwealth.

They shut down Al Jazeera entirely and they murder journalists in Gaza & Lebanon systematically, they’ve killed literally hundreds since October 7 and have been doing it before. I don’t know in what world you’d consider that doing press freedom “rather well“

In the whole Arab world there were hundreds of thousands if not millions of Jews being just regular people living their lives whereas in Europe they talked about Jews like they do about Muslims today up until they did the fucking Holocaust.

It was never about Jews and still isn’t. It’s about colonizers stealing our land, putting us under apartheid and genociding us.

There was a lot of ugly shit happening. Part of it was unfortunately also due to Zionist psy-ops after they realized most Arab Jews didn’t want to leave their home countries.

All that shit probably wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for the British and French doing their divide and conquer shit so well to drive a wedge between people who were living together more or less peacefully before.

Unfortunately all the meddling worked really well.

Okay you literally mean ISIS, sorry about that! I just misunderstood what you were saying.

Is this what you want to normalize? Shitting on some random people (Muslims in this case) just to make your point?

People might even be on your side but like this I don’t think you’re any better than the people you’re criticizing, dehumanization begins with language.

Freedom and democratic values unless you’re a Palestinian baby being shredded into pieces in order to defend said values. It’s better to be a citizen in the US than in Iran China Russia etc. but if you’re a baby being shredded it doesn’t really matter who shredded you.

Thanks for the explanation and equally thanks for the kind words!

I think I get where you’re coming from, and I think both Ukrainians and Palestinians have the same problem that they’re just pawns one some Cold War 2.0 geopolitics chess board. We are truly fucked. You know I somehow get the whole thing with parroting what the people backing you say, but I always believe you could just shut up and that’s better than being a hypocrite. But meh I also don’t take it at face value.

As for the Palestinian leadership, they’re simply corrupt, they don’t represent us and we don’t want them. Fatah in the West Bank they are a puppet of the Israeli regime and they work against their own people. Hamas in Gaza, they’re also corrupt and additionally an extended arm of Iran, although only to an extent. They’re considered part of the resistance but even religious, conservative people aren’t fans of them. Yeah I’m honestly sorry for all of their existence, as said they don’t represent us.

Following this. Anyone tried running ErsatzTV with jellyfin? Does it work with the app?

Increasing dosage makes it worse work

I know it’s a Zionist newspaper but I actually read that thing and it kinda suggests that we should be worried about the war crimes primarily because they are bad for Israeli society and not because they are war crimes? Like should I feel sorry that people supporting a genocidal apartheid colony are getting mentally ill from that? Should I feel sorry that people committing genocide get traumatized by that?

I get why people want to think that it’s just realpolitik but then he‘d need to be actually silent. He has always been vocally pro-Israel though. Israel has surely escalated things by magnitudes since October 7 but they’ve been colonizing us for more than 100 years now, so it’s not like the dynamics were different before October 7.

As an example this article from April this year: https://kyivindependent.com/zelensky-calls-allies-to-defend-ukraine-recalling-iranian-attack-on-israel-on-april-14/

”By defending Israel, the free world demonstrated that unity (among allies) is not only possible but 100% effective," Zelensky said after a meeting with top military and security officials . “The allies’ decisive actions prevented the success of terrorism and loss of infrastructure and forced the aggressor to cool down. The same can be done to defend Ukraine from terrorism, and Ukraine, just like Israel, is not a NATO member.”

And at this point it was already abundantly clear that there’s a genocide happening in Gaza, he could have said many things but he chose those exact words. Maybe he just doesn’t care about Palestinian life if he can get more weapons, maybe he actually believes what he’s saying, either way it’s not a good look on him. That being said, I don’t think he’s particularly bad, he’s just not better than any other hypocritical politician.

I‘m Palestinian and absolutely we don’t. We’re tired of just literally ANYONE wanting to rule us. What happens in Palestine is a genocide, period. What happens in Ukraine is also a genocide. I don’t want to antagonize you, but I’m honestly curious what you mean by „leaning towards“ the Palestinian side.

To me, imperialism needs to be abolished and I don’t care if the US or Russia or Iran or China does it. And imo Zelenskyy is a piece of shit for appeasing to Israel while they do literally the same to Palestinians that Russia does to Ukrainians. And in that sense, I will always be against the oppressor and it sounds a bit like there would be anything else to what happens to Palestinians than genocide & colonization.

That being said I wish you victory and peace.

No one PIPed I call fake

Why are all of them 0s? Should be a=1,b=2, bad co-pilot

Better Call Saul

There are still no awards. It’s mindboggling and off-putting, the typical shit you can expect from FOSS apps. I think about quitting everyday and return to PISS social media for the sheer lack of features. This place is a fucking dumpster fire.

I sympathize with the message you want to bring across, what they do in Israel could never be the worst since the Nazis because they’re like us, they’re the only dem… I can’t even write that out because it’s such a propaganda lie, but yeah I get that.

On the other hand let me just agree with the other guy that there are just shitty and shittier dictatorships in the Middle East. Some of them are aligned with the US, some with Russia, all of them are corrupt motherfuckers who belong in jail. Arab leaders have collectively betrayed their people and who knows if that region will ever be free of imperialist forces.
