IS THE UNIVERSE INFINITE OR FINITE
  • Yep! The observable universe has an edge we're fairly confident about. Though while it is absolutely "expanding", unfortunately, space around it is also expanding, so the universe is getting bigger in size, but we don't think we're gaining any new mass or exciting celestial objects. Everything's just getting further away..

    Why are Palestinian protests filled with feds?
  • Some people in this thread really do need to touch-grass

    Violent opposition to genocide is of course justified, but publicly chanting supporting for an event that is, at the very least, widely public perceived as a massacre of civilians, is pretty shitty protest tactics at best. And discrediting fed-work at worst.

    Critical support for Hamas. They should do more violent resistance to the IDF, and sadly civilians will die, but that aspect is an unfortunate necessity, not a thing to be lauded. Hamas themselves say they made mistakes in that attack.

    People should not stand with them on every issue and event; overall obviously fighting a genocide makes them worthy of support.

  • Down with Gazan imperialism
  • The ICC reply (though I like how they do try to reply genuinely and honestly) boils down to "but the palestinian government is/would be capitalist too, so...."

    This is the very bad form of class reductionism, the idea that oppression/genocide/etc doesn't matter and isn't imperialism because it's not fundamentally along class lines. haram

    Sure thing, ICC, but I don't think the people of Palestine are in any position to do any revolutions while under the iron thumb of the US and Israel. Nor do I think many people will view communist organisations positively if they sit by, ambivalent about genocide.

    Half the trump shit would go on the Biden pile anyways (CW: SV)
  • We're stuck in a very shitty choice of two: Someone who is actively doing genocide right now, and someone who will probably actively do genocide. Is the second just very slightly less shitty? I really don't know, I guess.

    https://defed.xyz No real surprises, but the list pales compared to Lemmygrad's still, they have 3x as many defeds.
