You don’t. Try not to piss off any national governments, especially unhinged ones (Russia, China, US, Israel, etc.)
How did you get newpipe to work? It’s been broken for me for like the past 3 weeks.
I was confused at first trying to read your comment and just wanted to let you know that in this context it’s spelled ‘morale’. Like “The team had high morale.”
The way you spelled it is like “That man has a good moral compass.”
I don’t mean to be rude, just wanted to let you know.
There were literally 10s of thousands marching in tel Aviv. Israel, just like every other place on earth, is not a homogenous blob.
Here’s a source from al Jazeera. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/22/all-of-the-rats-in-the-knesset-mass-anti-war-protest-in-israel

You’re very good at saying you’re right and very bad at providing evidence. The best thing about lemmy’s size is I can recognize which usernames to disregard immediately after enough encounters.
Not what I said. I used the exact language the above commenter used because it was specific and accurate. Also, inadvertent copyright violation is still copyright violation under US law. I’m not the biggest fan of every application of that law, but the ability to keep large corporations from ripping off small artists and creators is one that I think is good and useful under the global economic system we live under currently.
Learning is not being able to reproduce a news article word for word.
Except that, again, as is literally written in the comment you’re directly replying to, it has been shown that AI can reproduce copyrightable works word for word, showing that it objectively and necessarily is storing particular creative works in a particularly identifiable manner, whether or not that manner is yet known to humans.
The .ml memes sub is so infuriating at times.
Hopefully you can read my chicken scratch lol
You might’ve already seen this, but try using the method of dimensional analysis where you work backwards on a single line and you’ll never get one of those problems wrong again.
The key is just working backwards by units using the equations you have available. I know somebody that only got one of the questions on his MCAT correct bc he used this method lol.
Until the society we live under no longer reflects capitalist values, copyright is a good and necessary force. The day that that changes is when people may give credence to your view.
Yeah until it gets shot by A/B testing again lol. I love newpipe, but for somebody with a family it’s hard to justify, especially bc the non-techies of the fam are gonna want something that ‘just works’.
What do you mean by human nature changing with Mode of Production? We have quantitative psychological data for a reason, and many of the fundamentals haven’t changed since long before the industrial revolution, with many people still ascribing to classical Greek and Roman philosophies or philosophies first found in the Vedic Texts or Dead Sea Scrolls. Clearly then, if these philosophies are still so valuable to modern man, man’s psyche cannot have changed significantly, even over such a vast amount of time and even vaster amounts of lifestyle change. I understand that when there is less competition for resources that people tend to be more generous, but that is always true regardless of the mode of production. A surplus is a surplus is a surplus, but when a large portion of the population becomes poor/impoverished, regardless of the state of the elite, that is when tribalistic tendencies most arise. I often see ideas that the elite somehow controls the narrative, which may very well be true today, but was much less so true in the early-mid 20th century.
What we had in Germany was a portion of the population that was predispositioned towards hatred/tribalism/xenophobia/whatever. These are the people that supported and voted for Hitler. Without them, Hitler doesn’t have any chance of coming to power. By and large, these people were not bourgeois nor petit-bourgeois, but proletariat, often poor and uneducated. This is the most vulnerable psychological state to the type of culture war that Hitler waged, just as Trump does now, or Netanyahu. These ideas aren’t simply implanted into people, but come as a result of hardships. When people are doing poorly, they are more likely to form small groups and turn on the whole. That is a constant throughout history, as it is generally more sustainable to be in a small group, even if it forgoes other luxuries.
To be sure there is often class collaborationism, but to say that is always how fascism arises is ridiculous. For example, Toussaint and Dessalines would return the freed slaves to forced plantation labor. Plantations the generals (and later king for Dessalines) now owned as a result of the war. Another example would be Modhi in India, where there’s no real threat of class consciousness because of the historical prevalence of racism/casteism. Similarly, there’s no communist threat to Netanyahu’s government currently genociding Gazan Palestinians.
If we’re taking a more historical definition of fascism rather than my more casual usage that’s fine, but I’m gonna need to brush up on specific examples bc this is not entirely my area of expertise.
Please provide some form of example or evidence for any of your points rather than fancy sounding words :)
I never said anything about human nature. If you’re interested in reading more I replied to another comment on this thread.
Yeah the best example is probably the Japanese internment camps during WW2. You don’t have ‘rights’, you have privileges. Rights can’t be taken away.
