  • Don’t pretend like you understand people in Palestine. You know that you don’t.

    And don’t pretend that anyone can decide how the want to run their country while it is being occupied by a foreign power that kills children without remorse.

    It’s great that you want to show you have some understanding of history, but you weave back and forth and talk about mutuality, while you repeatedly recognize Israel sabotaging every attempt at peace.

    Israel is the problem. Palestine is being occupied and genocided.

    Don’t try to calm your conscience by rationalizing yourself into inaction.

    The solution is stopping the genocide, ending Israeli occupation and giving palestinians the right to return to their land.



  • Yep, the will to end Israel is there. It’s also here.

    Remember when the German state was dismantled because it comitted a genocide?

    It seems like you believe anti-zionism and anti-semitism is the same thing. One is an ethnic group (technically several, including palestinians, but we all know it usually means jewish people) and the other is a nationality.

    Not all jews are zionists, and not all zionists are jews.

    Let’s dismantle the genocidal state, give displaced palestinians the right to return to their country, try every war criminal and genocidal maniac in an international court and let the Palestinian people decide how the want to run their own fucking country, for once.


  • Oh so they definetly want to exterminate jews, but you can’t confirm it because they don’t have the capability yet, but as soon as they have the capability, you will have proof?

    That’s witch trial logic.

    Is that “massacre” really the best argument you’ve got? They took hostages, trying to get a political decision made and the hostages were killed in a failed rescue attempt.

    But sure, sure, we don’t negotiate with terrorists that kill or endanger civillians. That would be a fine principle, if we didn’t exclude Israel, who objectively have killed more civillians than any Palestinian resistance group.

    For the sake of humanity, find empathy for brown people and educate yourself on what actually happened, instead of western/Israeli propaganda repeating the dehumanization of muslims.

    It takes a shit ton of lying to defend a genocide, so don’t get discouraged when it takes time and effort to unlearn the propagande, but if we let this “slide” the world will not forget, and neither will those of us who saw through the shit.


  • No, what enabled this to begin with, is the British government handing a piece of land, with an indigenous population, to a different ethnic group that has since then been ethnically cleaning that piece of land, with help, blessings and UN Security Council vetos from our governments.

    MME is a credible media outlet. Maybe you think otherwise because they don’t spare your conscience from our complicity in this genocide, like the BBC does.

    Palestinians have a right to self defence, just like Ireland, India and all your other former colonies. Yes, Palestine is also a former British colony, and like so many others have had to fix a mess created by the western world.

    Are islamists a single organized group? Is it a term so completely mixed with “The War on Terror” propaganda, that it is any muslim who does not appreciate our vision for a place we have no right to, and who opposes that through an organisation defined through a religion.

    You are not a millimeter better than a person opposed to “christians” getting a win.



  • Fundamental understanding of communication.

    This post is communicating that we are not our emotions, and that they are a state that passes. it’s just using language as a metaphor.

    I’m sorry for being cheeky, i couldn’t resist. But thank you for the explanation, i did not know that. Is it the same thing when i say “this is my best friend” but i obviously don’t mean i own them?


  • I have fucked up my computer so many times.

    • Accidentally uninstalled the graphical environment, because i didn’t notice my package manager was asking me if i wanted to uninstall 200 packages, along with whatever i actually wanted to uninstall.
    • Tested a fork bomb (it worked!)
    • Installed a dual boot system incorrectly.
    • Installed a dual boot system correctly, but Windows had an update.
    • Tried to switch out a working component with Something Really Cool™
    • I have spent days troubleshooting an issue that turned out to be a simple syntax error.
    • And, while technically not fucking with the computer itself, this deserves a mention; Fucking up the wifi/network SO MANY TIMES.

    I have also succeeded with some really cool stuff, but that’s the thing about working with computers; you fail completely, until it works perfectly. This is of course a gross simplification, but it also has a lot of truth to it. There’s just not a lot “this is not great, but it will do”, it either functions or it fails (until you get it working and start fine tuning it for the rest of you life)

    Just laugh at the absurdity of the situation when you realize you were just missing a comma in a JSON file, and don’t let it bother you that you didn’t notice before you paid to have your second floor covered in aluminium foil trying to fix the issue.

    Try creating a VM in GNOME Boxes (if you use GNOME) or Virt-manager, take a snapshot, so you can easily repeat this process, and break it. Just make it stop functioning. Do it in an interesting way, and look up more ways on the internet.

    Be curious, have fun and don’t feel bad about getting sick of that stupid computer, you can come back later and it won’t care that you even left.
