    What if you do end up accidentally or negligently sharing this never-to-be shared identity? What if you’re unlucky enough to live somewhere where the government is one of your principal adversaries, like a Palestinian in Israel or a gay person in any number of jurisdictions? And how would you prevent the proliferation of plain ol unsigned data?










  • This also seems like a big issue with this report:

    Not included in those percentages is money divided among multiple species.

    Well, how much is that? How wide is that coverage? I felt bad for the poor mountain snail that got only $100, but if that’s only for specially allocated snail funds, maybe it’s covered elsewhere?

    Maybe it isn’t covered elsewhere, and it’s still a problem. Wouldn’t know from this report.





  • I, personally, believe that we all will come to a comfortable consensus moving forward

    This is a somewhat uncomfortable ellipsis for me. Can you be more specific about the emerging consensus? Last time I asked this question it went ignored.

    Where are these discussions happening? On the beehaw Lemmy or elsewhere?

    I only saw one thread alluding to this posted by a beehaw admin on Lemmy.ml.


  • It’s hard to accept that Israel has the same kind of right to it as Palestinians.

    Every displaced Palestinian has a home address they were forced out of, and had his home stolen by someone who felt that being Jewish gave them a right to be present in the land (sure) but also to a particular parcel of land that already belonged to particular individuals.

    Zionists will tell you that most of the land was acquired legitimately. That’s an exaggeration, but some certainly was. Enough of it was outright stolen to make hundreds of thousands of refugees. I’m a one stater; there is enough room for all in the region. To the Zionist, it isn’t about a right to be there. It’s about the supposed right to dominate the land through demographic control - i.e. ethnic cleansing.



  • There are some aggressively snarky lefties on here. Funny enough I felt that way more when looking at it from a different instance, but I guess internally it’s not as much of a thing because the tone is more relaxed internally, imo. Which is an interesting phenomenon. Maybe has to do with how people talk when they feel they’re in their in-group vs when they feel they have to have their defenses up.
