Its funny because its true.

@KimPerales I think Marcotte insights are totally not at all fault. I think these reasons are what **many** women GOP voters will **State** is their reason. What Im saying is the vast majority of people will give some great sounding reason for being on either side, GOP or Democrat, but int he end, thats just them trying to find a reason for something they are already commited to for tribalistic reasons.

Most people lie to themselves about their motives to appear like good noble people, and this is what that looks like. In reality a great deal of the time the justification comes after the tribialistic commitment to the group.

Its not the reason, its the excuse, and we tell ourselves the lie just like we tell everyone else.

@freeschool Sadly the way the AP protocol is designed, and mastodon itself, there is no guaranteed way to determine if a server blocks you or not. The only way you can know is if the server publishes their block list which in most cases they do not, not even to their own users.

@KimPerales To be honest GOP women vote for the GOP for the same reason democrats vote for democrats... tribalism and nothing more. Their friends are GOP/Dems and they are too ashamed to be judged by their friends as lesser... thats it, its why 90% of people vote the way they do at all.

If that werent the case the GOP and democrats probably wouldnt act like raving lunatics all the time because they would feel some need to actually make sense.

@threalist

No, because that statement doesnt come from anything the media claimed, and frankly i avoid "the media" at all costs.

The conclusion comes from Musk and DOGE's own words, saying things that a first year programming student immediately identifies as incompetence in the programming language. For example when he remarked about 150 year old people getting SS, instantly any programmer in the language the system is written on knows that is the default value the programming language uses when a date isnt specified. So it indicates cases where no birthdate is int eh records. Despite this being very obvious to even mediocre coders apparently the entire doge team bubbled this up as a valid concern so much so that Musk felt compelled to announce it on national TV to anyone.

Trust me anyone who knows even the basics can immediately see for themselves the gross incompetence, no need for the media to do a damn thing on that one.

Move fast and break things **never** meant to imply that you should be breaking things **in production**. It just means the development process is incremental and your next version may need to break before it becoms stable.. but you still dont release it until its stable.

Also doge isnt a "move fast and break things" team, they are an "im incompetent and dont even know the most fundamental aspects of the programming language this thing is built in" sort of team.

@matrix The issue is not DEI (having a diverse team) it is affirmitive action (indicating you will explicitly hire to ensure your staff has a demographic reflecting the general population)... Diversity int he workplace **absolutely** enhances the quality of the work by allowing for diverse cultures to provide different view points. The problem only arises when you hire specifically to get a particular demographic and that hiring takes priority over qualifications.

@realcaseyrollins

Also another important point your comparison complete ignores.. 100% of native Americans are allowed defacto citizenship, and completely sovereignty over their own land. They do not just have the privilege of their own sovereign territory but the freedom of citizenship and free and equal access to the whole country.

That means they have **more** rights than an american citizen, because we recognize the wrong we did, so we allowed a one-state solution, even more than a one-state solution, a one-state solution where native Americans have **more** rights than us.

That is in stark contrast to how the Palestinians are treated, denied a one state solution at all, caged behind walls, not permitted to even leave their own country, not given equal rights in Israel, AND where even during ease fires and peace Israel still freely takes their land and completely disregards what little sovereignty they are given over their own land.

Again these two are not even remotely the same.;

@realcaseyrollins

As for what im claiming... quite simply, the people there were living on the land their whole lives, their father was, his father, back a thousand generations in many cases (which they quite proudly put on their walls in most households).

The jews on the other hand all but a very very small minority can even show that they have heritage to the land at all. The only thing they have to show for it is some religious book that happens to have some people in it that practice the same religion as them. How many jews can even prove that all or most of their ancestors every lived in Israel at all, how any of them can trace even a single path of lineage back to Israel 2000 years ago, the answer is, almost none of them. Your ancestors converting to Jeudaism 500 years ago long after they had lost the land in no way qualifies you as having history in the land, and yet, the requirements for Israel citizenship due to the right of return doesnt need even CLOSE to that level of proof. You just need to practice the religiona nd be born of people who practiced it, thats it...

Again, not even remotely comparable.

@realcaseyrollins

Do we continue to steal land from them during times of peace? Are the Natives alive today, any of them, people who were originally here before the war?

Claiming this is comparable is absurd on a few accounts.. if, for example, we did what israel did and **constantly** violated their territory and stole more land from them during times of peace when they arent being aggressive, then wouldnt they be justified in attacking?

How do you feel it is comparable looking at a country that is actively stealing land during times of peace from the weaker one, and thent he weaker one retaliates as if it were some unprovoked attack.

Can your really not see the stark difference between these two scenarios?

Palestine has 2000+ years of history representing the people living on the land (regardless of what name it was called). Israel on the other hand has ::checks notes:: the bible, and even the bible admits it hasn't been their physical home in over 2000 years.

Also, remember despite all the terrorism that Palestine has committed (and we would be lying to ourselves if we didn't point out their atrocities) it all came after one very important event. The hostile takeover of the land by Jews started with viral biological warfare (link below). They won a war, in part, by intentionally infecting countless Muslims with deadly viral diseases and then using that to win the war. After they had the upper hand and they had all the land and the weapons now they cry foul when that same terrorism is used in retaliation meanwhile just before the October attack they had illegally seized more Palestinian land for Jewish settlements, showing even when there is peace Israel will continue to steal land that is not theirs.

Remember everything we see now comes **after** the Jews use of biological warfare to win, that was the start, never forget that.

PS: I do **not** want to see anyone use this as hate towards Jews as a whole. Hate Israel (the government) by all means, but if you generalize that to all Israelis or all Jews you are as evil as those you hate. There are many Jews who are appalled by what Israel does and fight against their genocide of the Palestinian people.

@KimPerales Disgusting, but not all that unexpected :(

@austinrojers Not anytime soon.

@cobratbq I'm missing some sort of context here. Is this supposed to be a reply to something or is someone else supposed to be in the thread?
