The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Lol.
Too late.
Palestine will cease to exist.
Why?
Because Donald Trump only helps those who he can directly benefit from. Palestine cannot benefit him. Israel can.
If you want to help Palestine, build a time machine, go back in time, and tell every liberal/independent fool who voted 3rd party or abstained from voting over the whole Palestine thing to do the smart thing instead.
Elections have consequences, and every last American is about to find that out the real hard way.
You mean Israel has been trying, and failing, to do since 1948?
You sure do give white supremacists a lot of credit, don't you?
Have they tried as hard as they're trying right now? Did they have someone named Donald Trump who was interested in helping them, or at least entirely getting out of their way while they do it, instead of putting up some form of resistance to the idea of them wiping Palestine out?
I wouldn't call it credit. I'd call it reading a history book and undestanding how far white supremacists are willing to go when given enough power.
Nope. They have never been this desperate.
The (so-called) "west" has been interested in helping them since 1948. That's why they have the kind of firepower now they could only have dreamt of in 1948 - and they are failing nonetheless.
The US isn't standing in their way. Palestinians with RPG-7s are standing in their way.
White supremacism gave itself all the power it wanted all over the world. And yet, despite this power, one by one the colonialist chickens was forced to come home to roost after the failure of white supremacism to remain dominant in the colonized world. It's now the US's turn to experience that failure.
If you think Palestine is going to survive for much longer, then you have an optimism I can only dream of. Even if Trump simply stands out of the way. Which is unlikely, because Donald Trump only helps those who can benefit him and Israel can benefit him. So expect more of our BOOM BOOMs to end up there in the near future.
Palestine is done.
Yes, and the last time they got REAL power it took millions of lives and an unquantifiable amount of money/resources to put them back down.
The literal ex-commander of the Gaza division doesn't share your denialism. about Israel's chances.
Like I said... you give white supremacism a lot of credit.
You mean the ones that are already there?
Oh no... they were costing millions of lives looooong before Mussolini gave it a name. And western liberal society was perfectly fine with it both before and after as long as it remained in the colonized world.
It's almost as if liberalism simply accepts that a bit of fascism every now and then is simply the cost of doing business.
Gonna need more than the opinion of an ex-commander. I've heard a lot of ex-military say things. Look at Michael Flynn. Not exactly an icon of honesty and trustworthyness.
That's because history has taught me to be very, very concerned with the capabilities of organized white supremacism.
This seems like an emotional opinion.
So, you chose an example from another country that also cannot win it's wars despite an overwhelming technological and logistical advantage over it's victims?
The Palestinians doesn't seem to have any problems trusting theirs. I wonder why?
History is not an excuse to assign white supremacism any kind of "superiority."
Really? I find it funny that a person that claims to base their opinion on history doesn't seem to understand the intimate link between liberalism and fascism.
I feel even worse since I did vote for Harris, although live in a red ass state so it doesn't amount to much (hopefully I'll move out next year).
I definitely recommend getting out while you can. Move somewhere that affords you more rights and has a stronger economy.
I can't afford to move to another country though (neither can most Americans), so I can only move to a state that isn't red. As much as I'll still have to deal with President Trump, at least a non-Republican state would try to mitigate/fight back in ways
I'm planning to move to Puerto Rico, which unlike every other state/territory in the country, its party system does not align with the national one (similar to Quebec in Canada), but more politicians there are nationally affiliated with Democrats than with Republicans, and from what I know, while Trump enjoys support among a chunk of stateside Puerto Ricans much like other Hispanics, Trump isn't very popular there considering he neglected them after Hurricane Maria and tried to sell it, as well as the more recent "island of garbage" shenanigans
If got time machine, go back and stop all religion from forming, problem solved atheist utopia
I would go back further. 400,000 years back, with weapons to eradicate the human species. We are anathema to this planet's other life. Humans are a toxic disease.
But then neanderthal gets evolve and world problems happen anyway with other hominid in charge.
Maybe we go back to dino
Go back and smack that fucking fish with a rock, as soon as it tries to leave the ocean.
I could have been a fucking shark you little asshole
