You mean, someone who asks what people could do to end violence are bad people?
And people who support violence are good people?
I’d rather take my ban in some hate-spreader Community with pride when justice in the real world rules over terrorism.
Well, 172 nations on Earth see it like this:
Israel is a friendly state in hostile neighbourhood…
Hamas and Hisbollah are terrorist organisations.
Or least they were. Nowadays we better speak in past tense about them. This bites you, doesn’t it?
I’d rather take my ban in some hate-spreader Community with pride when justice in the real world rules over terrorism.
I am just posting facts with which 90% of all people on Earth agree:
Israel is a friendly state.
Hamas is an internationally recognized terrorist organisation.
Or to be precise: It was. Nowadays it is mostly history. This bites you, doesn’t it?
No.
Reddit rarely bans. VERY rarely.
And NEVER for comments.
Sure, they delete like hell. Posting something in r/news is harder than landing on the moon, same goes for r/noncredibledefence and other Reddits.
But Lemmy is going bonkers, many high-profile Communities are held under an iron thumb like the moderators are all paid by the Axis-of-Evil (Russia, Iran, North-Korea).
Thanks for joining my side. As you can see this wasn’t the post which led to the ban.
Uhm, what is wrong about chaining prisoners? I mean, that is exactly what you do when you arrest someone suspected to be violent.
Well, thanks for driving the discussion offtopic because we all knew who is the real terrorist as accepted by 172 nations. Reported.
Please do so. I must say that my activity on Lemmy has already dropped dramatically but I still open it once a month or so and read all messages in the communities I moderate.
I would be good if at least not every single lead protagonist was either an asshole, an idiot or an obvious traitor.
It is not so much about the year the story plays at but also about shying away from some stories nowadays.
A story where humans are Cool Bastards and the Aliens just Plain Evil?
Can’t have that. It wouldn’t be social critic enough.
Humans being smart and solving problems without crying and discussing their feelings in face of impending doom?
Naaah… would alienate the audience.
c/HFY and r/HFY show how to do it different… (shameless self propaganda, noteworthy The Typo which saved humanity, Day of the Fat Man, Deterrence)
In 2021 I wrote a story “The Typo which saved humanity” on Reddit and it exploded to 3000 upvotes in less than a day. A couple of years later I wrote a story “Day of the Fat Man” which got 50 upvotes. Everybody I ask considered the second one the better one.
Then I reposted those stories on Youtube and Facebook and both got around the same upvotes, around 5k+ on each.
Yes, Reddit has become quite dead.
But to be honest, my stories on Lemmy got like 50 upvotes so… meh.
The difference between the extreme wings is miniscule. Methods, Objectives and Goals are the same, just the arguments differ slightly.
In Germany half of the voters of the Ultra-Left Party “Linkspartei” went within one election to the Ultra-Right Party “Alternative für Deutschland”. Even starnger, the AfD is financed by Putin who wants to recreate Stalinism, which is Ultra-Leftist, while the AfD wants to recreate a Führer-Cult which is Ultra-Right. And still both cooperate perfectly.
But don’t think the US is better. While Linkspartei and AfD together are 15% in the US the equally Extremist-Trumpists are close to 50%.
People need to understand that the Extremists on the wings are closer to each other than to the middle. While the middle tries to better things in small steps the Extremists want to burn the house down with everyone inside and then see who survives.
Just to mention: The current MARS rover is using a Raspberry Compute Module 3. Several modern space probe also use off-the-shelf technology. Most Ukrainian drones use it too. The IRIS-T missile uses a 1.0Ghz Quadcore ARM. The times when such systems required extreme technology are far gone.
