Jewish fascism, not Nazism.

Nazism is, in part, defined by its anti-semitism and, while many of Israel’s supporters are anti-semitic (notably Christian Zionists but also those who insist that ‘real’ Jews support Israel regardless) it’s just not appropriate to identify Nazism as the form of fascism practiced by Israel. It is authoritarian and supremacist but it is not specifically Nazi.

Ur-Fascism is a good read.

It’s not supposed to help you spell the word? It’s a comment on the danger of assuming things.

Comfortably-off customers casting aspersions on “minimum wage workers” are the absolute pits.

There is lots to say here but you are too clueless to say any of it. FFS

Not if you’re USian. But apparently ‘politics’ only exists for USians. Confusing, I know. Probably best not to worry about it. If you’re not interested, just scroll on by.

The issue really is about double-standards. People call Israel “apartheid” for refusing to give people in the occupied territories citizenship status. But I didn’t hear any Americans calling the United States apartheid when we occupied Iraq, and didn’t give Iraqis US citizenship.

This is flat out ridiculous. Politics by keyword does not cut it. I’m not going to defend the US invasion or occupation of Iraq but the US wasn’t controlling the territory in order to one day make it the 51st state, by moving Americans there en masse while demolishing the homes, crops and livelihoods of Iraqis.

The much closer analogy is the British occupation of Northern Ireland; territory it claimed as its own (the full country name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). The people of Northern Ireland did have British citizenship, whether they wanted it or not.

If you genuinely think your analogy is a good one, please, read some history and think a bit harder. You don’t have to defend the indefensible.

I think they may have realised that federating whilst they’re still not allowed to operate in the EU would hand hundreds of millions of EU users to independent instances.

You can follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon so I would assume it will also be possible from Threads if they federate with at least one Mastodon instance.

It’s not a very Reddit-like experience. I tested it on Mastodon by following a community here and it just spammed my feed with out of context replies so I unfollowed it fairly quickly.

But that experience is likely to improve? And no doubt Meta would like to kill Reddit with the same stone that kills Twitter.

Turbulent times ahead.
