The problem is that people point to the problems of the USSR and say it’s because of communism, but when the USA does similar things, it’s just them fucking up, not because they’re capitalist. It’s a double standard hinted at by OP.

The problem with the USSR was not that they were communist. I think that communism worked well for them, which magnified both their successes (beating nazis, reducing poverty, increasing literacy, getting to space, etc), but also magnified their mistakes (suppressing religion, art, etc).

And the court found it plausible that genocide is happening, which is what is needed for the process to continue.

This comment got to me really late, probably to Lemmy’s distributed nature.

But I still want to add: of course business will make more money if you allow more practices, but selling personal data just has too many negative consequences.

Also low quality advertising? You mean like billboards and in the newspaper? You mean regular advertising?

No, just ban the collection of user data and selling to 3rd parties. Enormous fines for anyone still doing it. Destroy this entire industry please.

Exactly, it’s the whole “black lives matter” vs “all lives matter” thing all over again.

You’ve already made up in your mind that the Palestinians are genicidal, in order to justify their colonization, oppression and murder by the Israelis. You do this for your own peace of mind. You need to do that because if you didn’t, you would see it for what it is, a people fighting for its liberation. You require the Palestinians were all perfect pacifists, going along with their own ethic cleansing and genocide.

Post an example of Palestinian people calling for genocide instead of a some unrelated dude.

I know why people keep quoting this unrelated dud:, it’s to make you think that “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is a call to genocide. It’s not, it’s a call for freedom. Both quotes just use the word “sea”, but are otherwise not related.

Then post that instead

Okay, but then address the point that the guy was Egyptian and not Palestinian?

I mean, there is a big difference between the crimes you commit and the ones you don’t commit.

If we’re going to judge countries based off what politicians of OTHER countries say, we’ll be here all night. Fuck Canada for the shit Trump says, etc.

Two nitpicks:

• that was said by Abdul Rahman Hassan Azzam, who is Egyptian, not Palestinian
• there’s a huge difference between a threatened expulsion of some colonizers (words) and actual genocide of the indigenous population (actions)
