  • The art of debate and discussion today is watered down to, “…but but that other thing is evil too!”

    Can’t talk about Uyghurs genocide because European settlers killed natives 500 years ago. IBM and Musk can both be bad. Same as time changes things and people.

    Stop distracting from Musk’s wrongdoings. What happened 90 years ago was 90 years ago. We can’t change that. What we can do is influence change today. Thanks to IBM for not allowing their money to fuel Musk’s machines.



  • I’m very saddened to hear about the death of this young woman. I’m also sad to hear about deaths of many, many Palestinians. I do not think it’s coincidence that Hamas decides to launch a major offensive in the midst of talks with between Saudi Arabia and Israel to normalize relations between the two after many years of relative peace. We can’t have peace in the Middle East because it doesn’t serve the ends to the major regional powers.

    Both sides in this conflict are used as pawns for the political ends of others. Innocent people are those that get caught in the midst of it all. Hamas didn’t do this without a green light so as much vitriol being spilled in this thread we have to take a step back. These fights have been brewing and going on for generations. If you take the short term view much of the strife we see today is the fallout from WWII and that is used as leverage by other nefarious parties.

    It’s not the Israeli people’s fault they do not have a home. It’s not the Palestinian people’s fault they do not have a home.

    Some of the comments in this thread are sickening, hateful, narrow, and short-sighted.

    Are you suggesting that’s the lemmy algorithm for baseball? I just wanted to talk about sports and the search result provided the top result as a discussion about weapons. I hope you don’t misunderstand me, as I think we’re taking the same position, that something needs to change because what was desired is certainly not what was provided.
