Stop it with the Mamdani bashing lemmy, go touch some grass FFS.

Nothing even happened yet - he is just getting started - and yet somehow you guys have already whipped yourselves in a frenzy about it.

Plenty of economists know, those are just the ones nobody listenes to (because capital pre-selects who to amplify by usefulness to them)

If you want to avoid tracking, Soundcloud is probably the least bad site with the song. Here is the link to full song: https://soundcloud.com/noshuniverse/the-bonk-song-1

There is one website, that I know of, that does not ignore DNT: geizhals. Also in germany you cannot ignore DNT by law (most still do).

See, not even the most psychotic Biden Fan(boys|girls|enbys) are Biden or Bust. No voter was lost by Biden stepping out of the race. But a lot of voters can be gained by the Democrats running with a candidate that can ... well, talk without a telepromter and has some energy.

Annoying Liberals of Twitter and Mastodon stop whining and get behind Harris.

Works on my machine

The CalyxOS installer does that AFAIK, so it should be supported

I didn't neccessarily mean it in terms of specific people, more that economy in universities (I can only speak to european universities, surely also elsewhere, not sure about the US though) is nothing like the neoliberal groupthink of economists elevated in media or politics, there is actual debate and there is consideration of factors like climate impact and hapiness of people. Not saying the field is a bunch of socialists, probably mostly well meaning liberals with iterative ideas that don't go far enough and a few socialists who don't get dismissed out of hand, but definitely also not profit-above-all scociopath capitalism hawks.

I really don't like french cheese. Am I racist with the french for that?

No

I really think that Germany has too much power over EU. Does this make me racist with Germans?

Germany is the country with the most seats in the EU parliament. The influence of germany is not a conspiracy theory, but a fact, therefore: No

Are Israeli politicians members of congress ? Or the house ? Ok, so maybe the comparison is bullshit.

One person may disagree with the geopolic of this war without having any issue with the citizens of a country involved

Yes, correct.

Not sure what that has to do with the fact that America is on the side of genocide of its own free will instead of being secretly controlled by Israel into being on the side of genocide 🤷

The point of nitter for me was checking some source links to twitter from mastodon posts without adding my +1 to the number of active users on Melons dumb website, so that is not really an alternative for me :(

(Until germany shows up and fucks it all up)

Genuinely confused as to how "post truth meme" relates to the second part of the comment.

What do you mean poor performance ?

My synapse used to run on a 5€/mo VPS besides other stuff and ran fine and now runs on one of my on-premise servers (and not even my fastest, just some old ryzen 2700) with A BUNCH of other stuff besides it. Multiple users, a bunch of large federated rooms, bridges to other messengers ... And it just runs fine with 0 issues.

Are you talking about running a synapse server for like a thousand people or on absolute potato hardware or what is the issue ?

They did not defund the fire department. They still shoukd defund the cops, but don't make shit up to argue for it.

Have you ... read the text of the meme ? Agreeing with the ICC does not mean trusting it blindly and nowhere in the meme does it say that.

But liberals do trust institutions blindly ("the cops said so, must be true"). It is a critique of dogmatic worldviews like liberalism and the inconsistencies those inherently have. Yep, not every liberal is a zionist, but most are. Especially where I am from (not US). But this specific meme is not a critique of all zionists, only liberal zionists, which is why it is labelled as it is, because for example conservative zionists don't have this specific inconsistency: They are distrustful of institutions (for mostly stupid reasons) and can therefore easily dismiss the ICC arrest warrant without giving it much thought. Still wrong, but in this specific case internally consistent wrong. But liberals have no way of reconsiling their inconsistent simultaneously held beliefs which is why I have seen many of them lashing out on social media, which was the motivation for the meme.

Yes they are ideologically aligned with zionism, that does not mean they are controlled by Israel.

The outcome is similar, the analysis and legal ramifications are very different.

Yes, many are bought by AIPAC. AIPAC works to the benefit of the Israel, but it recieves it's funding from wealthy american christian zionists. Again, aligned with zionism, not controlled by Israel, not the same.

Those citations are misleadingly assembled. I blamed you in the first part of my comment for somehow interpreting yourself as a target of the meme, even though if you are on this community you probably aren't a Liberal. I was annoyed by that, because that part is VERY clear in the meme. Trusting only the ICC blindly is not even an option on the buttons only the general trusting all institutions. The latter does absolutely not make any sense as criticism of leftys. I could see the former being used as bad faith critisism of leftys, but it would not work well, because leftys would not stop calling a genocide a genocide if the ICC said so ("institutions are not coming to save use, they have been corrupted" would be the lefty response, sort of a "To the friends of the US anything; to the enemies, the law" situation). Again this is not a part of the meme, so I am really not sure how a lefty could interpret the meme as an attack on himself. Either you were just tired or smth. in which case I was a bit too harsh or you are just self centered and can't stop interpreting memes that aren't about you to be about you, in which case I do not retract the condescension.

And that is where the scope of the first quote ends, the second part of the comment is a general explaination of the meme. And I do not blame anybody if they didn't understand what the meme was saying without the explaination, because it comments on a pattern of behaviour of many liberals recently (where I live AND the US), that I and seemingly many others have seen. So it is kind of a (very big ingroup) inside joke. Its a meme, it's referential, not a political essay, yes it oversimplifies things, yes that makes it easy to misunderstand, which is why I was happy to explain it.

Israel does not "fully control" America (literally an antisemitic conspiracy theory).

It is literally the other way around: The US controls Israel and has the power to make them stop their genocide but chooses to send them more waepons to use for more war crimes.
