I see, thanks for the inside look!

It certainly rings very badly.

Would you like to tell more on the gatekeeping aspect? Imma be honest, I’m not a seasoned volunteer and would like to know more.

Maybe take some volunteering, then?

Or would it be too hard/not useful to make yourself start doing something like that?

It’s a loop that is hard to quit once you’ve entered it.

I wish you success; maybe a good digital detox on the countryside with some simple books, field work and joys may help to reset your mind?

Not before their brains start to rot by using those in the first place

It’s scary to see how even the older generation gains reduced attention span, reduced ability to learn and need for instant gratification on this short dopamine machine.

A new media for the new generation. In an era of ever-growing flow of information, it’s only natural pieces are more and more condensed and visual. That’s how we got here.

Anyway, this moved you for the better card! Congrats :)

I mean, first we stop bloodshed, second we start negotiations and high-level diplomacy.

War is currently the highest priority, and then come all the issues around apartheid and Israel’s actions in peace time

Yes, with some of them coming back and stealing houses and murdering families, too.

Look, never have I ever argued they are right; what happens in Palestine is a bunch of war crimes and I really hope Netanyahu and company will suffer grave consequences.

People are super quick to trigger on the subject.

But human psychology is flawed, especially after traumatizing events; I’m only saying that it’s natural for Israelis to behave this way, even if not right, and when people are fanatically holding some position (because they see the alternative as eventual death, y’know), hatred might not be the solution.

Right now, as people die, we should focus on what’s effective, not a knee-jerk. That’s why police holds negotiations with terrorists, for example. Because it’s more effective at preserving human lives, not because they sympathize.

I want this war to end as soon as possible. Do you?

Did Nazis get convinced they are baddies?

That’s what’s most important at the end of the day.

Also, the parallels are incorrect, Jews did not attack Germans

I know exactly 0 instances when hate and blame game made people reconsider

It’s just generally hard to change what’s happening and reactions of Israelis, this is deeply influenced by human physchology - all I’m saying.

No, because it’s a natural human reaction on danger - they want to eliminate it, everything be damned.

Not even blaming them, despite them being super wrong with big consequences. All we can do is reach out and try to explain that their army is causing even more suffering some of them just endured, and that not all Palestinians are the kinds of guys who broke into Israel.

As an avid Palestine supporter, I gotta say the news is not about that, and bringing it up out of context is just the means to hijack attention to the position we’re all already aware of.

This piece of news is good, regardless of the conflict. Might be a little weird for them to focus on that right now, might be a political game, but it is good regardless.

My congratulations to Israeli LGBTQ+ community.

I’ve read the last sentence with the air of connoisseur

Sure

Lemmy as a project is free from ideology, but the spirit of main instances is like this. That’s what I’m saying.

I found it both weird (sometimes in a bad way) and fascinating.

From all life taught me, more online freedom normally gives rise to far-right extremism, and this place is surprisingly…left?

But yes, it might be skewed. As a left (and not Democrat kind of left, more like communist kind of left) I can’t not enjoy it, but I understand some people can be left out and that’s not nice to them.

The general ethos really is left-wing here.

Honestly even on political topics here you are much more likely to face a civil debate. There are exceptions, but chances are chances.

You also absolutely can put chihuahua meat in a microwave! That’s already just meat, you can’t be convicted on animal cruelty (probably)
