Here’s what I can offer you: how about we instead deliver billionaires as food?

Sure, I can extrapolate from whatever the media shows, and we get access to many sides of the story (Gaza, Hamas, Al-Jazeera, etc), but in the end reality is the best empirical measure of itself. Israel government is still standing, the people have so far not revolted to assume direct control and stop the process of a literal genocide.
There’s a long and exhausting debate that can be had here, but I personally disagree strongly because this is the type of rhetoric and narratives that fascists spin, but turn it against who they paint as enemies.
Completely understandable, athough I disagree that the two things are linked That the rhetoric is misused is orthogonal with whether the observation itself holds true or not. I’m just not lying to myself about reality. If reality changes so that people are better, by all means I welcome it.

But yeah, totes doing that likely this Friday, since I’ll be around the place anyway.

Well, time to fix that!

The average workers for Israel literally go on the news to yell how happy they are to have a chance to contribute to the atrocities.
Regardless of what you think about political systems, sometimes it’s just that people are inherently evil. As the US elections showed us.

Amazing call-outs!
Allow me to add “Hallucinated Nation” / “Consolation Prize Nation” / “Nazi Campsite” for Israel, feel free to choose one.
All that said, this would largely depend on whether Palestinian outbound internet goes from Israel as well, which might as well be the case Soon™ if it’s not already (the same way blocking the Fourth Reich would block Native American outbound internet). But at least it’s a starting point and raises awareness.

Then they just have to call anything they don’t like “terrorist attack” (let’s say, a comment on climate change) and bam, instant nazism.
Venia Silente@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymoreEnglish1·16 days agoMaybe instead of removing the RCE, we can lock down the sandbox better and reduce the amount of information advertisers can collect.
By all means but then someone do it, because it’s 2025 and even Firefox sends all this information that is absolutely not needed to show a webpage. It’s at least 25 years late by this point.
If you remove code execution in the browser, then many websites will need to ship desktop apps instead.
Which in quite more than just some cases would be good, precisely because some things should be native programs instead of requiring that the web browser basically provides all the tasks of the OS.

Bitch, it’s the same dudes as usual. Nothing “non-government” about this.
