14 days ago	mod	Removed Comment I don't have to believe it. I lived it. I don't need to source what I witnessed first hand. And if there's white colonialist trash in this thread, it is you. Talking down to a Venezuelan and assuming your second hand research and half boiled ideological read on colonialism trumps my first hand experience. You sucked dry the propaganda dick without a single ounce of critical thought. Regurgitation of chavista propaganda means shit to me, I know first hand it is all lies because I'm the one burying loved ones due to the failures of the revolution, not you. EDIT: Oh, BTW. The fact that the us is also a fascist state doesn't detract from their opponents also being fascist trash. Two people can be awful human beings even if they oppose each other. EDIT: Ugh, disgusting. Just saw your profile. You are a Russian tankie (and also probably bot). Sorry I didn't notice earlier, the .ml domain should've been a tip off.

29 days ago	mod	Removed Comment You dont have to fling personal insults. It only weakens your argument, even when you make valid points. You may misunderstand one very important point. Just becuse one side is guilty, does not make the other side innocent. Just because the nazis sent millions of people to gas chambers, does not justify killing hundreds of thousands in firebombing of civilian areas of cities. They are not equal in terms of scope and scale, but you can use one to justify the other. Similarly, using the Oct 7 attacks to justify genocide in Gaza is immoral, as is using settler occupations to justify the Oct 7 attacks. This sort of escalatory justification is why this has become an forever conflict. Each time there is progress there is some zionist fundementalists doing his promised land imperialism wanting to enslave the palestinians, or some Islamist sucide bomber convinced that its his ticket to heaven. Usually encouraged or supported by some external commercial or political interest. The only way to stop it, is societal and economic integration in the region. It was done in Northern Ireland. It worked between Germany and its neigbours. It worked in South Africa. A two state isolationist solution, in contrast has been problemanic in many area. East and West Germany, North and South Korea, Kashmir. Geography is probably the only reason for seperate states to exist. This is why I think the two state solution is not viable anymore. It needs to be one state, democtratic with a single secular government. One that strictly bans religion in government. It defangs the religious extremist on both sides. Israelis and Palastinians need to learn to live together. by SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works reason: Genocide apologies
29 days ago	mod	Removed Comment Both can be True. Conflict almost never have a good and bad side. Most often, its bad and worse. Israel is the worse one clearly. Everywhere Islam borders other religions there is conflict. Most other religions used to be like that too, but they have since reformed themselves to be peaceful. It is worth noting that Christian nationalism in the US is trending the violent direction again, but that is more a imperialist force than a religious one in my opinion. by SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works reason: Genocide Apologies

30 days ago	mod	Removed Comment It is important to start by acknowledging the reality of the political landscape: yes, there are absolutely extremist figures who use transgender issues as a wedge to push religious ideology or genuine ill-will toward LGBTQ+ individuals. It is disingenuous to pretend that every politician involved in this debate is acting purely out of unbiased medical concern, and the fear this generates is valid. In fact, I think Trump knows this but his opponents keep taking the bait. Dismissing these new rules simply as "hate" or "forced medical detransition" requires ignoring the massive, evidence-based collapse of the medical consensus that supported these treatments in the first place. That doesn't mean that Trump hasn't made a plethora of anti-LGBTQ+ statements, but I'd argue he's relying on you to get mad in times like this so you pressure those you support to take positions that will ultimately help his interests. The government claims that "gender-affirming care" isn’t the practice of medicine. This is true in some regards by looking at recent data—specifically the WPATH Files, the Cass Review in the UK, and the policy reversals in progressive countries like Sweden and Finland—it wasn’t politicians who first flagged what was happening as unsafe; it was other doctors and scientists. These countries restricted medical transition for minors not out of bigotry, but because independent reviews found the evidence for safety was "remarkably weak." The core issue is that the phrase "Gender-Affirming Care" has been distorted to become synonymous with "Anatomy-Affirming Care." * True Gender Affirming Care for a minor should be about social acceptance—letting a child exhibit whatever gender norms, clothes, or interests they want without pathologizing them. We should accept that a boy can be feminine or a girl can be masculine without needing to "fix" them medically. * Anatomy Affirming Care (hormones/surgery) operates on the premise that if a minor’s mind doesn’t match their body, we must chemically or physically alter the healthy body to match the mind. This rule appears to target the latter, and logically, that distinction matters. We do not allow minors to vote, smoke, drink, or sign contracts because we acknowledge they lack the cognitive maturity to assess long-term risks. It is logically inconsistent to argue a minor is too young to buy a cigarette but old enough to consent to permanent sterility or irreversible hormonal alteration. Protecting a minor from making permanent medical decisions is not "forced detransition"—it is returning them to a natural biological baseline and applying the same standard of protection we apply to every other aspect of childhood. Furthermore, we cannot blindly trust the institutions pushing this "official narrative"' The WPATH Files revealed that experts privately admitted children couldn’t grasp the consequences of their treatment, even while publicly stating the science was settled. Similarly, Kaiser Permanente attempted to force detransitioner Chloe Cole into private arbitration rather than defending their "standard of care" for a 13-year-old in open court. When medical bodies prioritize ideology and liability over transparency, skepticism is the only logical response. Progressive ideology is actually hurt by the extreme claim that "Trans Women are literally Females" or that medicalization is the only valid path. This denies the historical and medical reality of biological sex and pushes people into two polarized extremes. A society based on logic would land in the middle: 1. Respect Self-Determination for Adults: Adults should have the freedom to alter their bodies however they choose. 2. Protect Minors: We should protect children from irreversible medicalization, just as we protect them from other adult risks. 3. Use Accurate Language: We can respect someone as "transfeminine" and treat them with dignity without being forced to pretend that biological sex does not exist. The goal shouldn't be to ban the acceptance of trans youth, but to stop the medical experimentation on them. Conflating the two does a disservice to everyone. by John Richard@lemmy.world reason: Transphobia

2 months ago	mod	Removed Comment Man, it's articles like this that really just makes me so tired. Like, I get it man, the way the US military operates today is generally not great for humanity, but to say it's Earth's number one enemy is so childish and way too simplistic. Problems at this scale are systemic, and as the writer of this article and possibly even the documentary they keep referencing demonstrate a frankly lazy and bad understanding of how the system of the US military functions, it's no wonder they miss the mark and lack any actual solution. It's dumbfuck shit like this that makes leftists look stupid, fuels more polarization within the working class, and keeps us chasing our own fucking tails over shit that is fucking knowable if we tried to understand for a fucking second. The US military isn't the Earth's number one enemy, because it isn't the one pulling the primary levers of power, it is a lever of power. It also isn't Earth's number one enemy because _that's not even how any of this fucking works._ The systems that are barbaric and evil weren't schemed up overnight by some singular mustache-twirling villain, usually they just kinda "happen" over a long period of time. Yeah, a whole lot of the time there are absolutely malicious actors manipulating the system, but I say it "happens" over time because those malicious actors didn't come out of nowhere and they never work alone. I find the boiling frog metaphor to be pretty apt as a description. An important thing to keep in mind is that these systems a filled with people who genuinely "just work here, man". And no one person is responsible for how a system works. Really, with any system, we all kinda just work here, man. So with all that in mind, how the actual fuck does saying some vague-ass bullshit like "the US military is the Earth's number one enemy" point out any legitimate problem? We can absolutely shit on the US military for how much fossil fuel it burns through, but hey man, did you know it has been and still is high strategic priority for the US military to transition to emissions-free everything? A good chunk of funding for green energy r&d in the past couple of decades has been from the DoD. Some dipshit purists will scoff that it's "not for the right reasons", but progress is progress, motherfucker. We don't reap justice by sowing discord, and we don't fix systems by alienating those that operate within them. Being anti-war is great and fighting anthropogenic climate change is fantastic, but motioning vaguely at the two movements uniting to fight the final boss of the US military is childish bullshit that literally does nothing. Focusing solely on everything the US military as a whole does wrong(inaccurately, even) is so lost in abstract moralizing masturbation that it not only misses the point, but completely takes you out of the real fight. Some people get so lost in the bullshit solitary confinement of endless ideological refinement (coughcough FUCKING TANKIES coughcough) that they alienate their own allies or even become the villain themselves. You know what the solution is to the questions the writer of the article fails to ask? Make some fucking friends. It's the system that's fucked up, not humanity. You know how you fix the system? Make some motherfucking friends. No one person makes or breaks a system, people do. Did MLK change the system all by himself, or did he have the help of a fuckton of friends? Was it any one person that enacted enough change in the system that lead to gay people finally winning the right to marry who they love, or was it a whole lot of friends that dramatically changed the social landscape? You know why I keep saying friends? Because that's how lasting social movements work. You need genuine social cohesion. Communal trust is a very powerful thing. It's why anything worthwhile ever got done in changing systems for the better. And you wanna hear some scary bullshit? It's also why conservatives were able to get Roe v. Wade overturned. Those conservative churches have lots of social power because they actually engage with their communities. As much as some ultra-sheltered neckbeards in the internet will try to tell you that the churches are just for the money and diddling kids while doing nothing for humanity, they apparently have no clue about all the soup kitchens, prisoner visits, hospital visits, homeless shelters, food pantries, rent assistance, or disaster response teams sponsored and volunteered with all these churches. Conservatives made a brilliant move politically hitching their wagon to such a powerful source of social power generation. While the illusion of church=conservative is certainly fading, we still have so much work ahead. That means make some fucking friends. How? Volunteer. Do good things in your community. Hell, just get to know your neighbors, know their needs, make their needs met, expand their view of the world. Yeah, we need to organize and vote or whatever, but you're gonna need some friends to do that. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for all of us leftists to get off our asses, take the stick out of said ass, and go make some fucking friends. Or you can do as the article above does and point fingers at all these abstractions congratulating yourself for being right, unlike those wrong people out there, the sheep that they are. by NoTagBacks@lemmy.dbzer0.com reason: Civility
3 months ago	mod	Removed Comment If your goal is to make something better instead of crushing it, like I assume your goal is, then you need to suggest how we Solve the solution in a way that actually works. It sounds like you were doing that “genocide Joe” Which was just a message to make Trump win—My proof of that is that no one said genocide Trump, and yet he is doing the exact same thing if not worse. I am _not at all a fan_ of Israel, but one thing is true: In the event of an emergency, you have to put your own oxygen mask on before you help other people. Meaning, if we cannot get the United States to a stable position, there is no way we can ever help another country… Personally, I think you are focusing on the left in order to crush the United States like all those cunts on lemmy.ML by whiwake@sh.itjust.works reason: Civility
