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 7 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Teppichbrand@feddit.org 79 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Goodman@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Do you think that that dissolving borders is really possible? On a utopian level I want to believe, but sometimes I feel like mutual dependence might be the best we got.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think it eont be quite as utopian as you think, but we need to cut the frivoloys bullshit if were going to survive the mess we've made for ourselves.

The purpose of borders really only serves oligarchs and oyher exploiters. It does nothing good for you, nothing good for me.

We might have natural borders like oceans, or single purpose border-like things (like quarantines or 'no dirt crosses this line, please take off your shoes and put em in this bag til you leave the island.') that would come and go as needed, but generally; fuck em.

Just need to get rid of the oligarchs. Which we need to do to survive as a species anyway.

[–] Goodman@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Pardom me if I am wrong but wouldn't you still get borders in the form of economic areas that have specific needs. Which would then result in area specific culture and governance, eventually just resulting in borders again at an eventual conflict with the neigbouring zone? I know that I am making some jumps here, but that is sort of what human history feels like.

P.S.

All for getting rid of the oligarchy btw

Yeah the border between san francisco and fresno is pretty brutal.

The one between hollywood and east LA is also gruesomely fortified.

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

[–] Gaja0@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

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?

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 41 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 2 days ago (2 children)

not everyone who lives there is a Zionist dickhead

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 2 days ago

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

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days 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 4 points 2 days 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.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 24 points 2 days 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 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

what 💀

Does israel not get enough through the U.S?

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 21 points 2 days 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 13 points 2 days ago

I have all the known Israeli IP ranges banned.

[–] FundMECFS@anarchist.nexus 29 points 2 days ago

Ukraine pushing beyond it’s weight as usual ;)

[–] GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] mogranja@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah, my seedbox is on another continent.

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.
