  • AnCaps vs Libertarians

    Jump

  • I'm hardcore socialist, but I have some libertarian friends that just want to smoke weed, they have more in common with anarchists than Republicans.

    I deeply hope that's not a core tenant of libertarianism, how abhorrent.

  • Syrian rebels had help from Ukraine in humiliating Russia

    Jump

  • I'm as tankie as they come but I love shitting on Russia. Call it CIA brainwashing, its my absolute pleasure.

  • Imperialism, authoritarianism and oppression is bad all around m'kay

    Jump

  • A core tenant of socialism is a democratized workplace, being able to vote for your wage and company policy, like an Engineer choosing when to launch the rocket instead of some MBS degree.

    Last time I checked I dont think factory workers in China that make all our shit can do that.

  • ATACMS have now been fired inside Russia. I'm trying to get a head count everyone please raise your hand if you've been nuked already 👋

    Jump

  • This guy is a literal moron, you cannot frame the world from a settler-colonist mindset and tell me with a straight face that "Russia Good", "China Good".

    Thats not anti-facism, socialism, or anti-imperialism, thats just anti-US.

  • The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet

  • Its open source isn't it? It still has the same problems but on a privacy level, having it be open source is much better.

  • Is it worth getting into video games?

    Jump

  • Absolutely!!

    There are video games that work like card games, you'd love Balatro or Magic the Gathering.

    If you like puzzles, Tetris is the perfect start, its the greatest puzzle game of all time. Tetris Effect and Tetris 99 are good recent games for that.

    If you want to graduate from Puzzles to something more gamey, I'd recommend any Mario or Zelda game, and to develop a game mind, Metroid and metroid-like games are excellent.

    Many games work like movies too, so if you like movies those are nice.

    If you like books, there is a genre of game called a visual novel, (most of those are from Japan though, but many have an English option for text)

  • Lawless society

    Jump

  • That's not what anarchism is.

    I like to call anarchism as neighborliness extended as a political ideology. Consider it libertarianism with a pinch of collectivism

    You do it all the time when you organize a group of friends to go to the movies. There is no elected leader.

    When Russia invaded Ukraine, they destroyed a lot of public and military comms infrastructure, so the military ended up teaming up with anarchists because they had a decentralized comms going.

    Anarchism is compatible with existing political ideologies, however in my opinion works best at small scales.

  • A charity taught children strike drills in a school compound. Days later, Israel attacked it.

    Jump

  • I don't think the analogy to Egypt works, because they have a peace treaty.

    We all know Israel and Saudi Arabia have a shared adversary in the form of Iran. The US wants them to normalize so they can take care of that front.

    As for getting impaled on the stick, I'd say Pakistan got impaled on the stick, because its likely they were the ones hiding Bin Laden.

    As for Saddam falling on the stick, that was due to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait over several reasons: a desire to reunify, oil, and Kuwait debt. That's on top of having a history of using chemical weapons for mass murder.

    And as we know, the US loves oil, but so does the world. Globalized markets want to be stable, and the US helps with that

  • A lot of people dont understand US foreign policy. Do not interpret my post as taking a stance.

    US foreign policy is all about 3 key issues, carrot and stick diplomacy, containing China and Russia, and protecting the global market.

    Carrot and stick diplomacy is using positive reinforcement to make changes in totalitarian governments.

    Containing China is all about making friends with countries near China and putting a base there, along with allowing companies, military arms deals, and joint intelligence to happen in that country.

    • That is why the US wants Saudi Arabia and Israel to normalize. And do to that, the US turns a blind eye to tons of bullshit done by countries in the Middle East. If they were to normalize, then a solid logistics chain from Europe to the Gulf can be established, and the two countries would bolster the front there. Then the US could pivot its power projection over to Taiwan.
    • The US is powerful, but its not tactically sound to manage three fronts at the same time.

    If you remember how pissed off the US got when Russia put missiles in Cuba, then you can see why China and Russia will team up with everyone they can to foil this plan to contain them.

    Since the world is now globalized, the US has to protect lots of boats carrying oil, chips, and food. If something fucks up, then everyone pays for it. Of course, if youre resisting western imperialism then its in your best interest to make people suffer by blowing up the boats.

    Now geopolitics makes sense.

    From here, then if youre an idealist, you can make an informed opinion on US foreign policy. Should the US continue its world police campaign at the expense of people suffering under its allies?

    Can you achieve US foreign policy goals without suffering?

    Will a reversal of US foreign policy lead to more domestic suffering in the West due to economic turmoil?

    These questions should be debated and examined thoroughly.

  • Tesla Whistleblower Says 'Autopilot' System Is Not Safe Enough To Be Used On Public Roads

    Jump

  • Nah it's because they decided to use cameras instead of LiDAR and then try to make it autonomous instead of driver aid.

    AI is at its best when it's opening up productivity and freedom to think critically or leisurely, the same way sticky notes help someone study.

  • Does anyone have a first party source for the current copy of Hamas's charter?

    Jump

  • They have an official app LOL. You have to get it from their telegram. (I wouldn't do it tbh)

  • Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and Apple News+ Receiving Price Increases

    Jump

  • Some of the sources I wanted to sub to but could never afford it are TIME magazine and The Atlantic.

    WSJ I don't believe gives all it's articles to Apple. Could be wrong.

    I wish the NYT was still in there, but they pulled out a while back.

    I think The Guardian is in there though.

  • Let it be noted that this is an opinion article.

    Editorials and Opinion pieces do contribute to social discourse regarding news, and may be correct, but unlike their normal news, they can say whatever they want about the news from the authors they hire.

    Opinion pieces allow news sources to use sensationalist and inflammatory articles to drive engagement without harming their credibility, because of that giant OPINION label.

    NYT and WSJ's editorials and opinion pieces tend to be quite left and quite right leaning respectfully, to an almost satirical level. In my opinion, the WSJ's comment section under its editorials are much worse.

    I'm not disparaging the article in any way, just saying for those that may not already know.

  • France has banned pro-Palestinian protests and vowed to protect Jews from resurgent antisemitism

    Jump

  • A PBS poll recently showed that the divide on Israel-Palestine is 60-ish% in favor, but for the youth its split 48% for Israel and 52% for Palestine. That is quite the even split.

    This has got to be one of the most divisive issues among people my age, which is ages 18-25.

  • Holy shit, that's a big stamp of the foot. That's the first country to ban Pro-Palestinian demonstrations isn't it?

  • AP visual analysis: Rocket from Gaza appeared to go astray, likely caused deadly hospital explosion

    Jump

  • "Not-for-profit" usually makes them more trustworthy, plus they were the first to report what the Gaza Health Ministry said about the hospital, prematurely too.

    The most credible sources report truth and update stories if they are incorrect.

  • AP visual analysis: Rocket from Gaza appeared to go astray, likely caused deadly hospital explosion

    Jump

  • Yeah there is a thread put out by Geoconfirmed on Twitter, he only geographically locates where footage is, so he's pretty unbiased.

    By basically confirming where and when footage is, putting all the videos of this event together paints a pretty clear picture on its own, even without considering the other evidence.

  • AP visual analysis: Rocket from Gaza appeared to go astray, likely caused deadly hospital explosion

    Jump

  • I can give you other sources, like the Al Jazeera stream, and the analysis provided by Geoconfirmed.

    This is publicly available information.

    The reason I chose the AP is because they were the first to report what the Gaza Health Ministry said, and reported it as "Israel strikes Hospital, killing 500".

    They do in fact pursue truth and update stories accordingly, to my relief.

  • AP visual analysis: Rocket from Gaza appeared to go astray, likely caused deadly hospital explosion

  • I would like to explain some more context in the comments before people say things like "I'm denying war crimes"

    This was reported a day ago, but open source intelligence had confirmed these reports 8 hours after the attack. All which has been covered in this article, even the Al Jazeera stream that caught the whole thing on camera. (Interestingly, Al Jazeera still reported that it was still caused by Israel I believe based on the same evidence.)

    AP was one of the first to report the Gaza Health Ministry said, with the article titled, "Israel strikes hospital, killing 500." Over the next hours, they edited the article title 3 times, and had to emphasize that it was just a statement by the Gaza Health Ministry.

    By then, it had been reported across the media landscape as an Israeli airstrike. Now, considering the past actions of Israel, like that reporter they shot a year or so ago, it's quite easy to assume that Israel bombed it and tried to cover it up. But, news organizations are not supposed to assume. Instead, we learned that the Gaza Health Ministry, an organization controlled by Hamas, should be taken with a large grain of salt.

    Casualties turn out to be far less than 500, more like 50-100. I am in no way minimizing the loss of life. But from a journalistic standpoint, this is a 90% error, a total disaster in reporting.

    The NYTimes put out this Editorial reflecting on the error of the Gaza Hospital, comparing it to the error in the 2002 Jenin massacre.

    The rush to judgment on Tuesday night will continue to haunt us all.

    I'm inclined to agree, especially upon being banned from worldnews on the lemmy.ml instance for "denying war crimes and genocide" by posting this article FROM THE NYTIMES which was reported about a day after the incident.

    I'm not trying to report "Pro-Israel" Propoganda, but this should make everyone take a seat back and be very careful when reading news. This conflict is extremely divisive and it's challenging the status quo in journalism and global politics.

    Additionally, news media can get it wrong, but credibility can be gained just as it can be lost, so they should be given a second chance, especially if they admit it, like the AP or the NYTimes did.
