It really does but in a funny way because I'm also dependent on a tense geopolitical relatioship with russia so my pirated content is still accessible from the US.

It’s honestly amazing how many crackers and media uploaders are Russian. I’ve always joked that if another Iron Curtain happens, America will have to start paying for Netflix again.

Nationalism is such a joke! Old rich men sending young poor men to kill each other, to protect their wealth and power. Us pirates have much more in common than a Russian citizen and his idiot president or me and my millionaire chancellor.

Seriously. All these statists favoring sending mlions to die in trenches(return to tradition?) over killing a few billionaire shit heads and maybe just erasing the borders are the problem.

Old rich men sending young poor men to kill each other,

If bigotry and violence was just old men we'd have it a lot easier

Isn't it the whole reason why republicans go batshit insane against critical race theory? That the racism stems from deliberate attempts to divide people for political gain and it's been studied that racism isn't a naturally occurring phenomena?

One thing to keep in mind is the IP address might not reflect the actual user's location.

[–] mogranja@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, my seedbox is on another continent.

People were never apart to begin with, even if some power hungry pricks want you to believe otherwise.

We all live on the same planet, have roughly the same needs and wishes. Languages and cultures may be different, but under the hood we are all the same.

Dunno, when some of your best friends literally live in the opposite hemisphere, whatever nice words about planets fall flat considering any costs and times of travel are just to cover about a small arc on the surface of this pebble.

[–] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev 6 points 18 hours ago

"Apart" as in "hate each other", not distance-wise.

I was seeding to a person in Israel and I was tempted to block them tbh

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

not everyone who lives there is a Zionist dickhead

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 1 day ago

That's why I didn't do it. iirc, a lot of Palestinians use Israeli esims as well.

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Their polls, voting results and outright nazi public discourse suggest otherwise...

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago

There are so many Zionists in other countries so where do you draw the line?

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah but some of them are in jail so aren't polled, or in oublic discpurse, or torrenting.

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Valid of course, but they do not make up the majority unfortunately...

My point is that the theoretical non-zio occupier shouldn't be a consideration.

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Exactly the same experience. Even worse once I saw an app on f droid that literally had a popup asking for donations to help Israel and it's war.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

what 💀

Does israel not get enough through the U.S?

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Some of them are beyond brain washed. Idk if i should feel sympathy or not. I should look into this subject more.

They do not need your sympathy. They need ypur bullets. Just not how they think.

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 12 points 23 hours ago

I have all the known Israeli IP ranges banned.

[–] FundMECFS@anarchist.nexus 27 points 23 hours ago

Ukraine pushing beyond it’s weight as usual ;)
