My 8 yo niece wants to wear cuz its pink. Heck even my 3 yo nephew wants to wear one. They are children, they don't need a reason.
Today there many crisis in Europe. Housing, joblessness, food insecurity, AI etc. but the leaders want to make this an issue because it serves as a good distraction and triggers a xenophobic/fascistic response from the population. Its easy to redirect anger from structural issues towards minorities especially if they look foreign. That's the reason
You make it sound like china and US are the same level of bad. When US+Israel are currently doing a televised genocide. Chinese AI models are the reason why most of the world are even able to run efficient AI model on their own devices. Chinese EVs are making electric cars more affordable. Chinese companies are leading the solar adoption. Chinese ram manufacturers are breaking up RAM monopoly. Chinese companies are also making sodium ion batteries mainstream.
Sure china is not free of any wrong doing but comparatively, they are not as bad as US.
And if you wanna avoid both china and USA then you also have fairphone on which you can install calyx, e/OS, or lineage.
For reference, in Baden-Württemberg, AfD almost got second place in state election. They got barely less than CDU and came third with about 20%. BW is south west Germany btw. They have been getting votes from everywhere.
That's a lot of words to justify voting for a party whose chairwoman is literal nazi time praising, grand daughter of nazi finance minister.
"Nobody represented us so now we will vote in nazi" is not as coherent as you might think.
Die linke was literally compaigning for social programs for those "low income people without representation" and afd still got almost 20% in BW state election with their usual racist bullshit.
Its about time germany realizes that it never got rid of its racism problem after nazism and "lets gather all jews and send them to middle east with weapons" wasn't the right solution.
This comment is the perfect example of complicity.
You just both sided IDF and HAMAS. While ignoring the disproportionate amount of civilian killings in the conflict between them.
And armed rebelion against your colonizer is protected by international law which was created precisely to avert these type of situations. Would you also consider jewish militant groups who fought against nazis as terrorists?
You also make it sound as if as long as somone who doesn't kill children by their bare hands, they are not worthy of blame.
ANYONE who interacts with the genocidal maniacs that is IDF and does not come out calling out the inherent racism, is worthy of hatred.
I just used a mini pc to create a seperate network, then blocked internet for TV network. Then i setup microsocks and made an exception for that proxy and jellyfin. This way I can use smartube (it has a proxy option) for youtube and jellyfin for other media without logging in or providing internet access to anything on the TV.
Quran is not a series of independent commandments. All of it has context. 5:82 was about jews who allied with the polytheists against muslims, they signed a contract and then broke it.
No islamic scholar worth their salt says jews are evil or hostile in and of themselves, rather it is always in context of their actions.
Same surah in ayat 48 says jews and christians were given different scriptures and muslims should compete with them in good deeds.
2:62 says there are righteous believers among jews and christians and they will have their rewards.
60:8 says Muslims must act kindly and justly towards those who do not fight them because of their faith (including jews christians)
The same ayat that you referenced 5:82 praises christians because before this ayat was revealed, a group of christian came, read quran and accepted islam.
Oh wow, i just found out that legally in switzerland, it is not prohibited to download from unauthorized sources. Only the uploading part is illegal. ISPs may still block "unsafe" sites though. So if im using a vpn, its probably fine to torrent.
You could try this setup. Create a seperate network for TV with no internet (you might need a seperate rj45 connector on PI), then run microsocks proxy on pi (microsocks is super lightweight, and this will be using your other rj45 or wifi with internet), next install smarttube on TV and add your local proxy. You will need to create an exception in your firewall to allow connections to microsocks and block everything.
This way, nothing on your TV should have internet access other than any app you add that can accept a proxy.
If you don't care about your TV spying on you, skip all this and just install smarttube on TV and use it.
Note: I just realized pi already has a wifi and an ethernet connection so you won't need to buy another usb-to-rj45, so use one interface for no-internet-except-microsocks network, and use the other for normal one.
Many religions are a packaged deals. Meaning they have their own metaphysical beliefs, morality, commandments etc. If people only take some parts of it and not the other, then there will be injustices not only by the outsider's morality but also the insider ones.
Anyways, today we have laws that have largely replaced religion's morality and social justice elements precisely because mixing and matching multiple different moralities and justice systems wasn't very good. So i guess its fine to mix beliefs today
Its not reactionary if you can enunciate what you want. As long as it is grounded in ideology, reasoning etc.
Reactionary leftism can not articulate why they want smth other than "its anti-right wing".
And both right and left are not singular entities, there are lots of different group each with different characteristics.
Take example of American right wing, there is a growing sub group that is becoming anti israel. Reactoionary leftists then start moving towards israel, using israeli talking points to attack other leftists because "it doesn't feel right" or "that's a right wing position".
Whereas, if you are grounded in your ideology, you would take advantage of the situation to further your own agenda like anti-imperialism or anti-capitalism or pointing out contradictions and furthering class-consciousness.
But when your guiding philosophy is "not right wing" you miss all of that.

I wonder how much this has to do with musk owning twitter, larry ellison owning tiktok, and zuckerberg owning rest

That's genocide of brown people.
This is about white people being endangered.
Supplying bombs for brown genocide is just being "neutral".
If gents is short for gentleman. Then doesn't "ladies and gents" mean woman and ((woman+men+everyone) who is gentle)?
Wouldn't it be more efficient to just say gents?

You are exactly proving my point. True leftism is grounded in ideology, what you want, why you want.
You don't appeal to the masses you don't make hasty conclusions. Its about justifying, arguing etc.
Reactionary leftism is painting things as "right wing" which signals to other reactionaries to disapprove it just cuz its been labelled that way.
Edit: there is also reactionary rightism btw, not denying that part
People on lemmy are reactionary leftists ie they hate the right so much, they "reacted" against them by calling themselves leftists.
But quick delivery would lead a bubble pop....
Wait so more democrats agree that he has committed war crimes, than the democrats wanting him arrested during his visit?
