  • I knew the BBC was a shithole but the thousands of comments arguing that the problem is not enough people being thrown in prison for stealing chocolate is wild - Thatcher really cemented that individualistic brain rot...

  • Transfem @lemmy.blahaj.zone

    Does anyone else struggle with the concept of self-acceptance and how that relates to their transness?

  • you self host your own claude llm? damn and here i thought a 14B deepseek ollama instance was good shit - how did you get access to their proprietary weights?

  • LSD blotter 4-pack - 1h inject

    wat

  • tldr;

    Set that minimum TTL to something between 40 minutes (2400 seconds) and 1 hour; this is a perfectly reasonable range.

  • I like that this meme implies women and enbies write immaculate code and never regret what they've written before 😎

  • actually I do think aggregated sublemmies would be a good thing for engagement and content discovery - it seems silly that there are 4 different communities all about the same thing (eg buyfromeu)

  • a very respected Arab leader

    you mean the guy who was caught taking £1bn in bribes from BAE for the Al-Yamamah arms deal? the guy who reportedly funded Fatah al-Islam terrorists in Lebanon? the saudi intelligence chief nicknamed "Bandar Bush" because he was so deep in the pockets of the American war machine? that's your credible source on Palestinian leadership failures?

    sorry I don't have time to go point by point why you've presented a very one sided story that conveniently omits the main reason why Arab states feel reluctant to support the Palestinians - the fact they'll have to go against the US empire and its buddies which economically and militarily outcompete them - your posturing around how its the Palestinian authorities fault they can't have allies under an active occupation turned genocide just shrugs away responsibility from the ones that have real power onto those that have extremely limited options of resistance.

  • that's a whole load of words to victim blame and say the Palestinians brought this upon themselves and that they deserve everything they've gotten and that it could be worse since their main "allies" are doing "worse" genocides in other countries so they should feel lucky...

  • huh? that's literally not the point of apologies? they're explicitly about taking responsibility, acknowledging harm done, expressing genuine remorse and committing to real actionable change.

    the issue in the OP is when people say "I'm sorry about the orange cheeto - I didn't vote for this you don't deserve to be treated this way" - this is useless and performative and serves to mostly make the person apologising feel better.

    instead a real apology would take ownership and commit to action: "I'm sorry I didn't do more, and here's what I'll do going forward (mobilise, organize, agitate, etc)"

    and even then it might still not make a difference and people might still hate you but we don't fight fascists to win or to feel better about ourselves but because they are fascists..

  • you're right - there isn't - both are equally disgusting

  • wow bald youtube man is clapping back

  • What is VanillaOS again?

  • I guess my point is that from the perspective of the oppressed the distinction between "democracy" and "fascism" is functionally meaningless.

    I feel your point is that in the abstract "law and order" isn't inherently fascistic, but in practice what difference does it make? One group enacts centralized violence against another, fully in line with the laws that they themselves have set. To the in-group, this is legitimate law and order. To those targeted, it's fascistic oppression.

    So then are the people fascist, or does the system create fascistic outcomes even when people think they're just supporting "law and order"?

  • i mean that was somewhat tongue in cheek but law enforcement is fundamentally the state's way of enacting violence in line with whatever it's leaders see fit - which imo at the very least has fascistic elements.

    would you say that killing almost exclusively Arab and African people, tear gassing, shooting and brutalizing protestors because they disagree with governmental policies is not in any way fascistic?

    what about the french national police massacring hundreds of peaceful Algerians explicitly due to racism, with full governmental support and subsequent censorship, led by Maurice Papon, an actual Nazi coraborator who deported thousands of Jewish people to concentration camps only to spend 4 years in jail 30 years later (while serving in government all that time) - would you call that a rule of law that applies equally to everyone?

    at what point do we look at these "individual incidents" and start questioning the whole system of oppression?

  • so a fascist symbol...
