'You are responsible for the Oct 7 holocaust': Thousands protest against Netanyahu's gov't
  • The choices at this point are a flawed one state uniting two bodies, or one state with a successful ethnic cleansing. Two state solution has been taken off the table by illegal settlements of the west bank and, soon, Gaza.

  • Why is it legal to buy and sell used books/discs but illegal to buy and sell used digital files?
  • It's not that straightforward. Copyright is different in that infringement is only enforced by rightsholders through litigation. That means they hato find you, sue you, and make a convincing argument that your backup is harming their market viability.

    On that last point, some personal backup is unlikely to be found to be infringing. It's more problematic if it's something shared or done in a significant scale.

  • GOP Governors Invoke the Confederate Theory of Secession to Justify Border Violations
  • I don't know, it's really a lose lose either way. Biden is either too soft and the GOP calls it a win and does something worse, or he is too tough and he's called a dictator. I'd rather he take decisive action and put the fear of God in them than let it escalate and get even more immigrants killed. Honestly after the shipping migrants to liberal states stunt he should have thrown the book and/or CIA at 'em.

  • Removed
    Texas Governor says TX Constitution “…supersedes any Federal statutes…”
  • Then they pretend to not see the predatory employers using and relying on undocumented labor to exploit. Honestly going after those profiting would be far more effective and humane, but clearly not the point for them.

  • More Gen Z Americans identify as LGBTQ than as Republican
  • Yes, but political engagement can't revolve around voting.

    It's shit. You have to navigate a beurocracy and don't even always have choices down the ballot. And when you do, you often have no idea who the candidates are beyond some half baked Facebook page. It's also a huge burnout pit. Put months of stress into a binary outcome you can barely control. And even that is if you're engaged in canvassing and etc, otherwise it's just a chore.

    Youth need to be mobilized in long term action projects. Something like Encode Justice for example, where they make civic engagement a part of their daily life, is far superior. It's also harder, but that comes with doing something actually impactful.

  • Netanyahu defies Biden, insisting there’s ‘no space’ for Palestinian state
  • This "failed state" Palestine would be the most free they have been in the better part of a century. Having a right of return, protections from illegal settlers, representation in the UN etc. The last free election in Gaza was also a narrow win for Hamas, and stability of statehood would be quite deradicalizing

    Hell, even just control over their own electric, water, and internet access would be a game changer for Gaza.

  • US says 'no way' to solve Israel security, Gaza war without Palestinian state
  • You can maybe have a Gaza state, but Israel has destroyed any hope of a united west bank that could be meaningfully called a state. Unless they also returned all stolen land, but those illegal settlers are the most extreme.
