Thanks, I’m not sure if it’s better that the suggestions of @pruwyben@discuss.tchncs.de (⭐, 🌟) or use some ‘gloves’ emojis (🌍, 🌎, 🌏, 🌐). But I will try it (⁂)

Thanks, but I prefer an emoji/utf-x. Images are a problem when it comes to fitting text around them.

What’s BDS

Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against the genocidal State of Israel.

IVPN removed port-forwarding two years ago.

they share the land

No, Israel is a settler state, Palestinians are the people that have got most of theirs homes stolen and have their country occupied.

they both believe they have a god-given right to?

Palestine is not an ethnicity based in religion, by example George Habash, cofounder of the PFLP, was Christian.

so what’s your solution?

The dissolution of the State of Israel by force to end the genocide. But the solution that matters is the one that Palestinians agree among themselves.

I don’t have the problem (v2.24.3 on Android).

But it seems that it could be an anti-crawler in the .ml instance. See the answer from Dessalines to a similar problem in the MLem app.:

We blocked some crawlers on lemmy.ml today, so a dev would have to let us know what user agent mlem is using.

Students have developed effective self-governance through student plenums or assemblies, where each student has the right to speak and all decisions are voted on. Ad hoc working groups are put in place to deal with various issues, from security and logistics to PR and legal questions.

The university occupations function without a discernable leadership, alternating the representatives who speak to the public. They are adamant about their autonomy, vocally distancing themselves from all political parties and party politics, as well as from established civil society organisations and even informal groups.

In doing so, they are creating a new political space and new means for the political to be enacted, breaking through the confines of ossified institutionalised politics and representative democracy.

[…] students in Serbia are fully controlling the institutions they have occupied while enjoying an overwhelming support of the public: around 80 percent of Serbian citizens support their demands.

All my support for the students and the Serbian working class, I was not aware of their conflict. The struggle reminds me of the Spanish 15M and, a bit, the US Occupy Wall Street. I hope they have better luck.

At least from 2014: the maidans revolution and the subsequent civil war between the new government and the republics of Donetsk and Luhansk.

Opinion: I’m a IT worker, and trade unionist. USA interference in Ukraine’s internal affairs has had terrible consequences.

I prefer the formal name in spanish of estadounidense (united-statistian) to American.

Sorry for the poor quality of that response. But I did not have much time at the time, and it’s hard for me to write in English (it’s not my native language). I thought it was important to point out that in your post, well argued in general, you had introduced a statement without arguments that I don’t think fits reality.^[1].

Although this may be a licence to give more force to an argument, I find it especially alarming when this is aligned with the construction of a narrative to promote American imperialism —Yankee anti-imperialism as my subjective position— with an argument with a clearly racist bias —for example: removing the whiteness and Europeaness of ethnic Russians, inciting hatred of Asians, especially those of Han ethnicity and those of Chinese origin—. All of this promotes the fascist drift of the USA and its Western allies.

In any case, and to clarify, I am not accusing you of doing so intentionally, but rather that these types of statements, which seem to me to be at the level of QAnon or flat-earthers, strengthen this fascist drift. BTW, I would have upvoted it without that phrase.

Twitter only had value to musk because he wanted to use it as a disinformation tool to help SA/Russia/China.

Critical support to any gun(wo)men stopping genocide-gun(wo)men.

Culture and language have been used for the oppression of national minorities and to settle colonial and imperialist projects. The English, as a lingua franca, is most related to those concepts that with socialist internatioalism. That’s not the case with Esperanto.

In Spain, the rate has decreased 4 points in 10 years:

No. From the Case of Savva Terentyev v. Russia (police) of the European Court of Human Rights:

76.  The Court further considers that the police, a law-enforcement public agency, can hardly be described as an unprotected minority or group that has a history of oppression or inequality, or that faces deep-rooted prejudices, hostility and discrimination, or that is vulnerable for some other reason, and thus may, in principle, need a heightened protection from attacks committed by insult, holding up to ridicule or slander

Also, other relevant quotes:

When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.
— Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom (1994).

If the oppressor uses violence, the oppressed have no alternative but to respond violently. In our case it was simply a legitimate form of self-defense.
— Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom (1994).

We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.
— Elie Wiesel, Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech (1986)

There were also an independist anticapitalist catalan left in that struggle, but yes, we were minority.
