For me, it only shows two images and a short text that doesn’t say anything about what they’re proposing. Only an intro.

Oooh, I see, thanks.

I don’t understand though.

I don’t block anyone or any instance and the tankies are barely a problem I notice.

They represent a fringe group that gets downvoted to hell whenever they open their mouth.

I really don’t understand this perception that Lemmy is a tankie cult.

However, Israel is a genocidal state, WTF does this have to do with the other things mentionned? It’s the mainstream view.

EDIT: My instance blocks hexbear and lemmygrad and I was blissfully unaware.

That sounds like a lot of gold!

Lol.

How much tip do you want to leave?

$4237

I can imagine the customers would react pleasantly to leaving this uninentended tip.

Sometimes I see comments downvoted a lot and I can’t understand why.

Who in their right mind would deny that Israel exists? This is at the level of the Finland Conspiracy.

It’s fine. You just have to imagine that the existence of the Alot of Terrorist Attacks can be blamed on US foreign policy.

2 is different because it’s a term used nowadays, as in your reply. I’ve never uprooted myself and went somewhere empty to build a house. So, I’m not a settler in the first sense. I’m a settler in the second sense, as I’m not part of any native nation.

We’re referring to two different meanings here.

1. A settler, as in, someone who comes to settle land that has been emptied through war, disease, genocide, etc. This one, we see as negative

2. And settler in opposition to native. Of course in that sense it’s not negative. At least, I, as a settler, don’t see it as negative, it’s just a neutral descriptive and useful term.

Yea, I was wondering right now, is there anyone in the US who has an internal narrative in their mind around the Iran war that makes it appear somewhat sensible?

I was thinking more of the globalized market for oil.

If Russia can export less refined oil, that can encourage the construction of new refineries elsewhere. This could negate the impact of drone attacks on reducing CO2 emissions.

But as others have said, there’s demand destruction that can have an effect.

They can be built outside Russia.

I don’t think it’s part of Lemmy per se, rather it’s an app feature. I use Voyager.

I just want to tell you I always love reading your comments. They’re always thoughtful and interesting. I know you with the tag “Knows Chinese history” and when I see this tag, China-related or not, I know it will be good.

There’s a lot of denominations under the “Presbyterian” name. Some of them are typical conservatives, but others are progressive, marrying gay couples and ordaining women and openly gay pastors.

This is an incredible comment. With a little work it would make a fine article to publish online.

Yea, it’s true, arbitrary application of an oppressive law remains oppressive.

There has been a lot of Japanese immigration to Peru in the past. Probably more than anywhere else save maybe for Hawaii and Brazil.
