Recently switched a system from arch to tumbleweed. After another required manual update intervention. So far I quite like it. And if as claimed is stable enough to not have me having to troubleshoot updates. I will likely be switching several more. It’s not quite as on the bleeding edge as arch. But it still has plasma 6.4 and blender 4.4 etc which are the big things for me.

And there you go again deflecting. It was always going to be either a democrat or a republican that won. We would have had far more impact trying to negotiate with the Democrat than a Republican. Yes both candidates were bad. But one would have definitely been better. The one so many hyper focused on attacking. While not attacking the other in the slightest.

My position looks as good as it ever did. I was right before. I was right during the election. And I’ve been right since the election. All people like you can do is silently downvote pyrrhicly. Or delusionally you create scenarios in which there’s a magical world in which I was wrong.

You say that because you’re a rational person. The people he was replying to. Thought it was more important that Biden/Harris lose than trump. They ridiculed those calling for solidarity against trump. Screeching blue maga. Because they didn’t care if trump won.

Reverse Scooby doo

If all you read is propaganda you might think that. But that isn’t the case. It all started when imperialist Britain stole a large tract of land from the people living in Palestine to give it to people who had never lived there. And to add insult to injury. The newcomers sought to exclude the people who had always lived there. And turn them into second-class citizens in their own home. Causing them to rightfully Rebel.

Israel has always blamed and othered the victim rather than doing the bare minimum to make things right. Ironic seeing what many Jews went through. Though most of the people responsible for founding the ethnostate of Israel didn’t go through the Holocaust themselves.

It’s always the ones you most suspect.

It’s a start. But why stop there.

Here are a couple of lawyers that have more or less implied that.

I still don’t think that offers any hope or possible remedy.

That only means something if someone is going to enforce it. When someone has a monopoly on violence. How do you enforce that against the person with the Monopoly?

The legislature and the Judiciary have effectively bowed down to Emperor Trump. Giving up any power they may have had . While many of them may not particularly like him. They find him more useful to their own ends. And nothing is going to change until their perception changes. Maybe the coming war on Iran will do that. Maybe not. The echo chamber is pretty thick now. And I am sure the majority of people will only hear positive news about it.

What are you even talking about lol. Wow your psychosis is bad.

If imperialism and colonialism is justifiable because we as outsiders find a practice abhorrent. Then you have just justified what the United States did to my family. Stealing their homes culture and religion. Would I have wanted to live as they did? Probably not. But we were never given the choice. Because it was stolen. This is what your advocating for. This is why you are rightfully called a hypocrite.

I get that you’ve never thought about it that far. That you aren’t actually against anything bad that’s happening. You are simply a Pro Vanguard campist unquestioningly. I’m sure you’ve never considered that someone could criticize one group’s acts without defending anothers. That two things can be bad at the same time. And one bad thing does not justify another bad thing.

No I’m simply stating that changing one brainwashing for another is not helping. And the reason I haven’t answered any of your questions is because you haven’t asked any questions. You’ve been making a lot of false accusations.

Quote a single thing I said that was pro religious. You love to build strawmen. But have nothing of actual value to say. Typical leninist.

I qualify as a communist, why would I be pushing anti-communist propaganda. I’m simply pointing out your hypocrisy and the hypocrisy of leninism. You’re not a communist.

Nice strawman you got there. This has nothing to do with what I believe or don’t believe Beyond I believe people should have a right to self-determination. I realize that childish leninists are so cock sure and think they know better. Wanting to force their own backward beliefs on everyone else. As much as these Tibetan Monks do. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

And I mean as someone coming from a leninist instance it’s extremely hilarious that you act as if not having political representation is a bad thing. Political representation actual political representation is denied to wide swaths of people under a Vanguard.

Regarding your laughable whataboutism. I absolutely believe that Guam should be given the right to vote for president if they desire and that the United States should recognize them. Hey quick question when is China going to give the Uyghurs the right to self-determination and to vote? Oh oh that’s right, China gave up the right to vote for president completely.

Not at all. The fact of the matter is many of the people in that region and culture View things differently than you and I do. If they gave people the option to relocate and escape the reach of this monastery. You honestly wouldn’t see many people take it. Which is more or less the point. All this may sound horrific to you and i. As does tribal body mutilation etc. But to those tribes and cultures it is part of their culture.

If China actually cared about the people. Rather than forcing the monastery closed and them to abandon their religion/culture. They would simply offer to relocate them away from the monastery if they feared for their children.

Without children and followers to harness. The religion would die on its own. Even as the general culture would endure. China explicitly does not want that. China specifically is trying to oppress and eradicate cultural differences.

People are 100% Justified to call China out on this. And in doing so are not defending all of tibet’s actions. Two things can be wrong at the same time. All sides can be wrong at the same time. This is one of those cases. There is no defense of China or Tibet here. China is not doing this out of some goodness of their heart or humanitarian need. Simply their own selfish goals.

So colonialism/imperialism is okay? Either it is or it isn’t. All I’m asking for is consistency.

It’s 100% possible to find beliefs and practices of cults and cultures to be abhorrent. But also acknowledge that trying to forcefully change things. Almost invariably backfires. As well as undermining any moral stance you may have once had.

Or other “western” nations. I’ve never knowingly met someone staunchly ml. That was from an area formerly or currently ml.

Talking to someone from China etc you generally will not hear them specifically shit on their government. Mostly because the government will come knocking and threatening violence as they did with Naomi. But you will catch them nervously deflecting to justifying it. Acknowledging it without speaking of it. Though even that could not save Naomi.

Hilariously Lemmy.ml is blocked in China. Where a lot of other Lemmy instances aren’t strictly.

Huh, I genuinely consume more British TV than I do US TV. And I’m well aware and familiar with someone getting “shot dead”. That’s clear. But putting the subject after the description just sorry of jackknifes the temporal understanding. Mayor shot dead. “Oh they were killed” Vs shot dead mayor “why are they shooting a corpse”.

I mean, I guess dead is an adjective. Which is often used before a subject to describe it. So grammatically it’s “correct”. If obtuse. But then I’m sure there are phrasings Americans use like that.

The headline gore is real.
