idiot works, but I’ve become fond of dum-dum over the last year;

it seems more cutesy, but somehow manages to be even more insulting without the usual negative associations…at least i don’t know of any ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

also fast sowas wie ein schutz für die verfassung?

ob’s dafür wohl einen guten namen gibt…evtl sowas wie “Verfassungsschutz”?

(wär halt schon super wenn die leute ihrer buchstäblichen funktion nachkommen würden…)

similar suggestion to BlackAngels: RimWorld?

sounds like you’d enjoy top-down gameplay more than 1st person, so might be something to try!

pro tip: try the base game first. the DLC are all good, but none are required!

edit: RimWorlds’ mod scene is also just incredible (some would probably call it non-credible too XD); there’s Project RimFactory if you want a more factorio-like playthrough! (although, fair warning, RimFactory is pretty damn OP, up to you how much you abuse it…)

tesla/spaceX have literal teams whose only job it is to keep this moron from driving the company into the ground.

he’s an idiot.

…they are quoting a meme:

“would someone really do that? just go on the internet and tell lies?”

it’s a joke you didn’t recognize…maybe chill out a bit?

fucking peace.

no, you dum-dum:

just because YOU, personally, haven’t been reading, hearing, or seeing the perpetual violence against Palestinians (and muslims in general) in and around isreal, doesn’t mean it just appeared out of thin air, like you are suggesting.

well, not suggesting… you’re straight up lying.

you are using your own ignorance as basis of fact.

YOU are unaware of the hostilities happening, so you assume they DIDN’T happen. which is wrong.

this genocide didn’t just suddenly happen, it’s been going on for decades. it’s simply been a much slower process before (except for all the times in-between when it wasn’t slow at all, but I’m not about to copy-paste half o wikipedia. look it up if you don’t want to be ignorant), which makes no difference.

a genocide, by definition, is not bound to a certain timeframe; when a people is eradicated deliberately, it doesn’t matter at all how long that process took.

Palestinians have been under direct attack for almost century now. that entire time is a continuous state of genocide.

that fucking fish should have stayed in the ocean, where it belongs!!

or, alternatively:

In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made many people very mad and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Public opinion in Israel also does not appear to be influenced by the British.

let’s start with the easy one: this is completely irrelevant. public opinion is largely worthless and means nothing.

The active current genocide started in 23.

it started in the 1940s, arguably earlier.

the very first thing that happened in the region was Palestinians being expelled from their own land in order to make way for the zionist regime.

that’s how Palestinian oppression started, and it’s the reason the situation got so bad in the first place.

it got much, much worse in '23, but that’s not the start at all.

It was triggered by a terror attack.

no, it was the other way around; ongoing genocide triggered the terrorist attack.

and more importantly:

is this supposed to mean that genocide can be justified? is that what you’re saying?

Some have considered the attack inevitable due to continued oppression and border fences.

gee, i wonder how that oppression started in the first place… certainly couldn’t have been the british! they’d never meddle in the middle east for colonialist reasons!

well…except in afghanistan…and iraq…and syria…and egypt…wait, how long is this list anyway?

could the british empire be responsible for most of the clusterfuck that is the current middle east, by having drawn completely arbitrary lines on maps more than a century ago, which were deliberately designed to fence in diverse ethnic communities, with the explicit goal of suppressing the local populations by putting them in a constant state of unresolvable armed conflict in order to ensure instability in the region and as a result keeping education and living standards low, thus guaranteeing cheap oil for the foreseeable future by making it trivial to install dictatorships across the region?

…are you for fucking real?

(hawara, du saufst den lack aber auch im liter pack…)

i do agree with the sentiment, but i think we’re largely okay on that front:

among the big problems with reddit for the past, say, 10-ish years, was the consolidation of subreddit moderation in relatively few, extremely influential mods. some of which where widely known to be assholes of one kind or another…

the very design of lemmy provides a kind of natural resistance to this phenomenon by spreading communities over many distinct servers, with distinct admins and moderation teams.

it’s by no means perfect, but the simple fact that communities can choose to leave servers that have become unsuitable to hosting them (like we’ve already seen with some of the star trek comms leaving .world…i think that’s the server they left?), it becomes more difficult for power tripping admins or mods to utterly ruin communities. it still causes major disruptions, of course, but i think it’s a decent trade-off!

having already seen that part of the design in action; I’m really not that worried about lemmy turning into reddit.

what’s much more concerning is eventually being overrun by sophisticated, hostile discourse manipulators like bot and troll farms. (if we ever get big enough to attract those…)

while decentralization provides resilience against enemies within, I’m not so sure it does the same for enemies without: coordinating bot defense and using proper authentication for end-users to ensure that the people talking are actually, you know, people, is probably going to be extremely challenging… eventually, at least…
