I enjoyed the first one. Haven’t got round to looking at the second one. Can’t remember why I decided not to watch when it was released…

I didn’t know they did that, it sounds pretty crazy. Almost amteurish if you ask me.

I’m not an admin though, one of them can tell you what exactly they’re doing atm, tbh, I don’t know what their plans are either.

I think they’ve been disabled temporarily because of the child abuse material that got spammed - thankfully, I never saw that stuff, but the mods and admins had to…
- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
Also just wrong, since both Jewish Zionists and Nazis were inspired by European colonialism. (Important to note there are Christian Zionists out there, and the original British Upper Class Christian Zionists basically just wanted the Jews out of Europe).
- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
Well, I wasn’t criticising you personally. I was adding some important, interesting and peculiar context.
Don’t you find it wierd that Israelis were more interested in weakening a disciplined left secular party and inviting corrupt terrorists to power instead? I mean obviously, if Palestine ever were to be free, the business class don’t want them to be left secular nor independant.
Personally I don’t think Hamas should be compared to fascists, the term obscures the unique problems in the Middle East between different factions, who fall in and out of favour with the chief meddler in the region (US). But it doesn’t really matter.
- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
Land is what’s at stake, when people are removed from their land or displaced, that constitutes genocide, keeping them under a seperate set of law while favouring Jews is apartheid (literally worse than South Africa, because the whites actually needed low wage workers while Israelis just carry on killing).
All of that comes under settler-colonialism, but certainly nationalism is part of the domestic agenda.
- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
Yeah, that’s why Mossad funded them. If they were Islamist, they’d be easier to control like the Saudis and friends.
- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
I’ll add that this conflict is not a religious conflict. Religion adds some heat but it is fundamentally about settler colonialism, theft of land, racism and apartheid.
Arafat, their previous leader was literally a Christian, not Muslim. And Hamas, an Islamist organisation was literally funded by the Mossad against the PLO (Arafat’s organisation). What Israel faced is literally their own fault - it’s blowback like how the US got 911ed by the Saudis they funded.

You can message the mods. Sunaurus is a sound guy.
- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
Interesting question.
Would you mind stating your personal political bias if you have one in regard to tis conversation?
- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
They even put the Palestinians in ghettos. Wonder what that harks back to?
- Comment on The truth about Canada 1 year ago:
Are you denying that Canada is a colonial project?
- Comment on The truth about Canada 1 year ago:
I’m describing the ‘highlights’ in the book you illiterate. What’s difficult to understand?
Canada is a state, its not possible to hate-crime Canada you twat.
- Comment on The truth about Canada 1 year ago:
Hitler’s American model describes Hitler’s dreams to match the power of the colonial powers of the day, Britain and France. But his inspiration came from the colonies themselves. In this book the American legal realist systems with regard to race is explored, rather than canadian systems, but clearly Canada is not very different in that regard.
Some highlights:
- The Nazis found that the one-drop rule was too harsh - (only because mixed Jews were somewhat white-passing whereas mixed Black people couldn’t pass and remained legally Black).
- Manifest Destiny inspired Lebensraum (probably Canada and Australia too).
- Nazi Race Law/Blood laws and second class citizenship laws for Jews were inspired by similar laws in the US.

On the topic of unmarked graves, a good essay: lemm.ee/post/10348169 - aeon.co/…/we-must-not-forget-what-happened-to-the…
And the standing ovation and subsequent apologism for an SS volunteer not withstanding.

Come over!
- Comment on PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world 1 year ago:
lemm.ee has been good so far. lemmy.ml is fine too.
- Comment on PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world 1 year ago:
lemm.ee or lemmy.ml are more open large-ish instances. I keep an alt for specific hobbies.
In fact this is my hobby account, and my ‘main’ account is on a country specific instance.
- Comment on PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world 1 year ago:
It’s literally the dotworld admins behaving that way. They’re too quick to block.
- Comment on PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world 1 year ago:
Literally the best thing to do is spread the load and increase our diversity of instances and communities elsewhere other than one big one, to keep it sustainable.
lemm.ee, lemmy.ml, .cafe even all are calling for users. Use browser.feddit.de to find others.
- Comment on PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world 1 year ago:
Actually no, or maybe combine that with a nudge to move to another more open, freer instance - with automatic subs, blocks and settings migration. That would be productive.
- Comment on But have you tried Jerboa? 1 year ago:
I’m reminded that in the past every release of a software (at least the major ones) would be a single paid-for release. Obviously the google play model inhibits that kind of sensible monetisation straegy for now (I think).

FOSS for Lemmy
It’s just very popular - I used it for reddit. It had a lot of installs on play and was recommended often on reddit.
- Comment on But have you tried Jerboa? 1 year ago:
Fdroid, and maybe obtainium (for easy github downloads) are your friends in case you didn’t know.
- Comment on But have you tried Jerboa? 1 year ago:
This is all sounding a bit insular. I’m happy with the tech stuff but let’s not turn the entire site into a discussion about a specific app or two.
