  • an inalienable concept as free speech

    Free speech is not an “inalienable” concept. To be honest, the adjective “inalienable” doesn’t well describe a “concept”, more “right” or a “privilege”. Nobody can take away a concept from you, only the exercise or realisation of that concept.

    That said, the Lemmy dev’s code of conduct is not a binding document, and given their political views, I wouldn’t even bother opening it if I was adminning my own instance. And nobody owes you your freedom of speech - if an instance decides to enforce the rule “no talking about politics on Wednesdays”, nobody has any right to anything else. Preference, sure, but right? No.
















  • Hamas just rejected a ceasefire that would have seen around 800 hostages held by Israel swapped for 40 hostages held by Hamas. Hamas have probably murdered/brutalised their hostages, thus negating their usefulness in swaps of this kind. Fuck Hamas and their leadership’s willingness to hole themselves away in Qatar and prolong the Palestinian suffering. The IDF should clear out and stop bombing every vaguely upright structure. It’s a lost cause, fuck colonising vultures and developerd. The IDF needs to realise you can’t kill and idea amd concentrate on just defending themselves, not trying to eradicate a terrorist group.
