Interesting that you think you have more of a handle on the definition of apartheid than Desmond Tutu https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/apr/29/comment

So when the National Party government in South Africa imposed restrictions on travel between made-up areas that basically nobody else in the world recognized as separate countries, that was also not apartheid?

2-5% of the population of Gaza has been killed in the last year, close to the entire population is homeless, Israeli military leaders are openly saying, in English, that their goal is for all the Palestinians to leave to other countries.

What definition of genocide are you using where the current situation does not count?

this is an amazing study in how to go carefully, point-by-point, through something, and refute none of it.

from the video “per customer, we’re looking at a tenner [£10/€12/$13]” 😣

I think you might be 180° missing the point of the meme

sadly folks keep being told that voting for Party 2 is somehow a vote for one of the Party 1s and that the only sensible option is to vote for the other Party 1. wonder how the situation will ever improve 😔

“unmasked” because of the assumption that anyone who posts “raunchy” pictures, especially for money, would spontaneously combust in shame if their name were ever made public.

boring bigoted shit

“form[ing] partnerships with the private sector” is literal privatisation.

and the Canary is one of the (the only?) worker owned news outlets in the UK, sometimes it’s a bit sloppy but calling it “trash” is doing free PR work for plutocrats

if you’re in one of the areas it covers, Offi is pretty solid Offi https://f-droid.org/packages/de.schildbach.oeffi/

Citymapper is also not bad but the coverage is v limited and it’s not open source

if you think that the UK government has a right to try and determine if an asylum claim is “genuine” and if making deportation more efficient is a goal then “naïve” maybe, “lefty” not by any meaningful standard

maybe consider the space between “ensure that Jewish people feel safe” and “establish an apartheid ethnostate for Jewish people”

afaiu pairdrop and snapdrop only work if both devices are on the same local network, filepizza works over the internet

if only Facebook had started in 2004 and not 2024 we might have some historical evidence about how the company handles moderation or community safety or protecting user data or…

if only threads wasn’t launching literally today and we knew if they’d enthusiastically welcome hate accounts like Libs of Tiktok https://www.mediamatters.org/libs-tiktok/timeline-impact-libs-tiktok-told-through-educators-health-care-providers-librarians

Wikipedia is hilariously biased, especially on any politics or history topics.

here are extensive lists of complaints of bias, from both left- and right- wing alternatives:

Confusing strategy to make a claim that’s so easy to prove wrong. Did you:

a) Not look at the actual police report, and either a.1) uncritically repeat a claim you saw on, I don’t know, Stormfront, or a.2) make up a number?

b) Look at the police report, but hope by not providing a link to it that nobody would bother to check?

For clarity:

Counter-protesters made up the “vast majority” of 126 arrests made, police said, while nine officers were injured.

Those officers were injured on Whitehall as they prevented a violent crowd getting to the Cenotaph while a remembrance service was taking place, he said.

what parallel universe did you come from, and do you need any help getting back there?

“they voted for hamas” when was the last election and what percentage of people in Gaza now were even old enough to vote at that time?

(to pick just one of the atrocious takes in your badpost)
