The Houthi’s are enforcing their ban on ships headed to or from Israel to enter Yemen’s water territory. They did this as a sanction on Israel because Israel is committing genocide on the Palestinian people. When the US and European countries started bombing Yemen for enforcing their law, they also banned US and some European ships from entering their waters. During the ceasefire they lifted the blockade, and since Israel ended the ceasefire they started banning ships again.

If that were true they would’ve had peace long ago. https://decolonizepalestine.com/myth/israel-has-always-sought-peace/

Everyone wants ‘peace’, but you should ask people what peace means. For Israelis, peace means that every Palestinian is either murdered or forcably removed from their land. For Palestinians, peace means that they are allowed to move freely within Palestine and have the same rights as Israelis.

Without military resistance Palestine would not exist. Israel has always been clear about their intention to wipe out all of Palestine. There was never a moment where Palestinians could stop Israel from invading in any other way than fighting back.

This is a very small minority of Gazans. Most Gazans know that Hamas is the only party standing in the way of a full ground operation of the genocidal forces into Gaza. When Palestinians are no longer facing genocide they can start demanding a government that represents every Palestinian, until then they don’t have that luxury.

Antizionist jewish voices are being silenced by Western media. How many articles have you read about jewish people who are afraid of anti genocide protesters, and how many articles have you read about antizionist jewish people angry about the genocide? I can assure you that the proportion of antizionist jews is much bigger than what Western media would make you think. Their crimes and complicity will come to light at some point.

What kind of results do they censor?

The police in my country use a device to break into phones and sometimes there’s a leak of which phones and OSes have the loopholes that the device takes advantage of. Idk if I’m explaining it well sorry. But the situation changes frequently because sometimes new loopholes are found and sometimes google or apple fix the bug that causes the loophole. Those lists only mention android and iOS versions thus with another OS you wouldn’t know if it has a similar bug or not.

So I know there’s lists out there about which OSes can easily be broken into and which are safer, and those usually only mention IOS and Andriod. This would make me wary of trying different OSes because there’s less info on how safe they are. I don’t know anything though I hate technology but I’m forced to learn for privacy and at very early stage of that.

Cool thanks, I’ll look into grapheneOS more. I’m curious if it’s recommended for activists as some phones are easier to break into than others by police or national security.

Is android open source?

Ukraine is so fucked. With their infrastructure bombed, men killed and all social infrastructure and natural resources sold off to private/foreign investors… And the rich still profit off of all of this misery.

It’s not. Germany is Israel’s 2nd biggest supporter after the US in terms of sending weapons and criminalising antizionism

As others said, labels don’t make you interesting, being interesting does. Experiment with your identity on- and offline (as in your style, your pronouns, learned behaviours or otherwise). Also try to read/listen/watch more about trans experiences to learn how your feelings relate to trans people and why it’s harmful to appropriate trans culture. Wishing you had a penis can be considered queer and it’s definitely a feeling I’d explore more. Your statements do sound similar to what I used to say about myself before I realised I was transmasc.

Capitalism is an inherently unstable system due to the contradictions that define it. Scapegoats are necessary to prevent working class from rising up, and economic conditions in the US have gotten so bad that most people no longer care about sustaining the status quo. So I don’t think the current rise of fascism could have been prevented without a socialist alternative.

Also Biden had already changed the geopolitical landscape when he openly funded an (even domestically) deeply unpopular genocide.

‘Western style democracy’ has never been truly democratic because of how money influences elections and politicians. True democracy isn’t possible as long as there exists a capital class in society. The capital class will not give up its wealth without a class war.

Nato propagandists are organising a tour around educational institutions in my country to convince people that military spending needs to be increased and sell nationalist pro war talking points. I’m more worried about them than the Russians tbh.

Therapy is not some magical fix. It usually involves learning how to cope healthily and to tell the people who are close to you what you need to be more comfortable in stressful situations.

Serbian protests had the support of most of the general population. The students faced a lot of state violence as well, but this only made their case stronger and caused more people to join. Protests like these for the most part are a numbers game. The more people join in the safer it is. The US population has been pacified and I see the only way to improve conditions is to agitate and depacify.

So you’re right that the condition in the US are different and that a different approach might be needed, but sitting by and doing nothing will for sure not help. I’m really tired of people on lemmy throwing their hands in the air while less fortunate people are being harmed by your government’s actions. It pains me to see how little people actually care if it turns out they need to actually make sacrifices to change anything.

Are you trans? Or do you just accept your government abusing trans people because ‘people voted for it’. Stop acting like voting is all you can do to protect minority groups.
