I told my lib colleague about how many software creators provide their stuff and its source code for free and he could barely get why; I also told him historically many nations just left their research and findings available publicly for people to learn from and he can’t grasp why that was either.

He does truly believe the profit motive is the only (best?) way to advance science.

Boosgumps!

This should be the easiest DNC victory ever and Kamala’s decided to play on hard mode

Some random company that sells fruits overthrowing another country’s government; it’s so ludicrous I’d say it’s too silly to be the plot of a serious movie and like no no, actually this ludicrous story is actually real.

They’re already openly saying they don’t tolerate Lebanese on “their” land

I mean they both solve the problem; it’s just one is a Western solution and the other is humanity’s solution.

They’ll also bend over backwards to explain how actually it was okay to shoot him and how dare you compare him to the tank guy in tinyman square.

Plastic babies with poseable figures; you’ll be able to get them into any cool action pose for selfies!

Jewish culture and history

Zionism

No one here has a problem with Jewish culture and history, Zionism though we do. Socialist and anarchist settler colonialists are still settler colonialists. Those socialist and anarchists you’re talking about, do they fight alongside Palestinian resistance against the Israeli state? In South Africa for example, there were white people who were sympathetic to the plight of black South Africans and aided the ANC especially in sabotage operations; I haven’t heard of socialist and anarchist Israelis who do the same. There was a guy whose name escapes me who I believe was Jewish, who also fought alongside Che if I recall correctly, who initially supported Zionism, but when he went to Israel and saw what Israel was, he fought alongside the Palestinian resistance (having some trouble finding him; he was posted about here on hexbear). Israelis who support Palestinian resistance absolutely have our support here.

If I recall correctly, the Hagana, Irgun and Lehi brigade eventually became the modern day IDF (literally). Those Nazi worshippers today are an important cultural aspect of Israel, in the form of helping to brainwash Israeli youth, and they’re also remembered as heroes by Israel (and ‘remembered’ as in the very same terrorists back then who are still alive today are remembered. This wasn’t so long ago that it’s beyond living memory). Israelis also usually go out and protest any time a member of the IDF is on trial for murdering a Palestinian.

I’ve basically always thought it would be a funny solution to everyone’s gripe with Hamas to just give them new branding as well and voila, problem solved.

I’ve always thought that if you switch America and Russia/China in most events, it would better fit the narratives.

For example:

America brokered peace between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

America opened up factories in Afghanistan to provide jobs for the locals who are recovering from a war with China.

America is supporting their ally in Syria and combating terrorists supported by Russia.

Russia went to war with Iraq and killed a million people and destroyed all their infrastructure.

The incarceration rate in China is the highest in the world.

China accused America of spying on them with a weather balloon.

Russia overthrew the Libyan government, spiraling the wealthiest African country into a civil war.

Like seriously, switch the stories around and it better fits the narrative we’re constantly being fed. With the view that libs have of Russia, China and America, events would literally have to play out like this if their view was correct.

I guess your…Luks not running out.

…you’re using Vista? Even when Vista was new it was terrible. Just get Windows 10. Also if you use old peripherals then yeah, you’re probably gonna have problems. No idea what all these issues with installing drivers is about; it stopped being a problem with newer Windows. It’s like this post was made over a decade ago, lol.

Considering the price drop it’ll have, I’d move there in a heartbeat.

Depressed people:

Weeeeeeell…I like the Irish and I think they’ve been awesome all around (the IRA and their support for Palestine), but even by their mythology they apparently did colonize their lands ages ago; something about defeating the Tuatha De Danann who themselves defeated the Fir Bolg and the Fomorians. The De Danann, Fir Bolg and Fomorians are depicted as inhuman beings but I personally think these were peoples who lived in extremely ancient Ireland who were defeated by the ancestors of modern day Irish people, but then, this would have been quite a few thousand years ago anyway and holding it against them would be silly (basically it was so long ago that it’s not even concrete whether this myth has any basis in reality and certainly no trace of those peoples, their culture and their civilizations still exist; also even if you decide to believe the myth has some basis in reality behind it, Irish culture has not been a culture of colonizers for the last several thousand years).
