Ask Lemmygrad

"Is it practical to allow the genocidal regime in occupied Palestine to keep doing what they’re doing? Maybe you say yes,"- haha , I didn't say i don't stand with them , It is just you accused me of Doomerism , I said I am not a doomer but I specifically don't believe in Idealism. Palestinains are still there but the matter of the fact with your support too , Israel will evict them , its going to happen and its not that I don't support them , its the fact that westerners are mainly silent on this issue , global south is weak and careless including China, Islamic countries don't care except Iran . Without external help Israel can't be defeated that's an absolute fact. few commies in Lemmy won't change the reality on ground , same goes with BDS movement .

Makes more sense than settling them in the middle east.

They are an european (germanic) people and they were persecuted by europeans(mainly germans) so it should fall to europeans to decide the compensation not to middle easterners.

Part of me genuinely does. The only reason I'm still humoring this conversation is because I recognize your username and have seen you about on this fed before.

I see a future in which we have to fight against all whiteness. In which the current-day clarion calls of the politicians and capitalist elites toward the populace to rally 'round in protection of whiteness itself are heeded in full. Every time you hear a casual "slava ukraini" in the west, you are hearing the reaffirmation of solidarity with global whiteness. They've chosen their side and their praxis.

"When Zelensky, Biden, Macron, talk about "common European values," Africans and all non-European peoples understand its real meaning. It is a call for white Western solidarity in response to the global shift of power away from the West. It is essentially an appeal to support white supremacy through the maintenance of white material power that is based on the extractivist, parasitic relationship between the “West” and the rest of us." -- Ajamu Baraka

They've started imprisoning our forefront activists again in attempts to shut us up, looking at what's been done to the Uhuru 3, and the RICO charges filed against anti-Cop City protesters. They've already started, and the "White Lives Matter" movements are gaining steam hand-in-hand with the Banderites nourished by the Democrats. This will not end cleanly, and frankly, I'd say it lost the chance to end cleanly years ago.

Just like it has for Palestine.

That does seem like a good criteria, but that is an extremely small and limited amount of people. Slave owners were by far concentrated in the South, and only the ultra-wealthy could afford to own slaves to begin with. It was only a 1-2 percent of people owning 95%+ of all slaves. As most free people in the South, white or black, were themselves near destitute and extremely poor.

people rented slaves, and for the purposes of this discussion, that should be at least partial credit for "owning"

Is it such a sin to want to see those who self-identify a certain way educated on the baggage they've associated themselves with? You raise fair points on the concept of mixed families; but beyond that, while self-identification is fine and all, I see a use case for the education.
