I do not believe that (although I could see how you would read it like that). I meant your insinuation that the well documented Zionist false flag was the equivalent of 9/11 conspiracy theories, but you admit that Israel did do the f

They didn't "flee", there was a coordinated Zionist effort to move them to Israel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Magic_Carpet_(Yemen) And the anti-Zionist riots were in response to the illegal

Jewish immigration to Israel is not similar at all to Nakba. It was voluntary, and that's extremely different from having your homeland invaded and ethnically cleansed.

It seems unthinkable that Intel would continue to invest in Israel. They should have never done it in the first place, and building a new fab would be at minimum a major PR disaster.

"Wokeness" as defined by the people who use it is not a religion (and it's not extreme). It's just pejorative word for diversity used by people who believe in white supremacy.

I put it in quotes because it's the term a certain set of people use (not me). It had a historical meaning to the Black community but that's been usurped by reactionaries.

Why would anyone disagree with “wokeness”? I think that says a lot. Are the ultra-rich who complain about the “woke mind virus” hurt in any way by diversity? No, they are not.

I mean yes, it literally is. How can people make up their mind if they can’t even see it? You’re being very argumentative. If you don’t agree, that’s your decision, you don’t need to come into the thread and promote censorship.

Except they can’t since it’s censored. Are you adding anything to this conversation? Seems like you’re just complaining and being negative.

Well it got flagged and was never allowed to hit the front page so I’d say 12 is pretty good. There’s only one of you saying this.

You clearly don't speak for the people upvoting this post.

That’s a real shame. This is about a meme, I’d think it would be relevant. Even Paul Graham is speaking out against the genocide. It’s weird that we can’t discuss even tech stories about it here.

Whatever the platform's intent, the end result is that I get to see content that is censored on other platforms. If China's foreign policy goal is to help the Palestinians, then they're aligned with my views.

You assume that requiring a phone number increases quality instead of decreases it. I see it as a filter to keep thoughtful people off the platform.

This rings true because as someone without a religious background, I definitely feel the opposite: that progress is inevitable and the people who are "in charge" while it progresses are a commodity. I also find the "deificati

Doesn't this go against the comic in the post that claims that it's easy to block what you don't want to see? Also that it's an open network? Why not just let everyone in if the moderation tools are good? I definitely wo
