  • To me the word has always had some bad connotations. When you mention Settlers one of two things come to mind. Either European colonials in Africa or America genociding native populations, looting resources and spreading colonial propaganda, or whatever these brainwashed Israeli terrorists are.

    while I agree it might not be descriptive enough hence I like to use the term “occupiers”, the word was never neutral to begin with at least where I come from.

    Btw the Arabic word for it originally meant to settle in but nowadays it became synonymous with invasion.





  • Respect the player hate the game, unless the player is just another narcissistic bigot. I often like to make the distinction between my opinion on the system and that of individual human beings in said system. I may say “fuck the police” but also have respect towards a polite police officer that believes he’s doing a good thing.





  • I believe whether this was to cover up something or not, Israel is using intimation tactics to keep eyes and cameras away from them. We have a saying in Arabic that goes “hit the one with the leash to scare the loose” basically you attack non-threatening individuals to scare away actual threats.

    You guys are also forgetting that the Golan Heights since 1981 and recently southern Syria are illegally occupied by Israel and heavily militarized. Which has caused the locals to move away that of itself may be argued to be a crime. So if you wanna maintain opsec go ahead but not when the operation is about stealing land and harassing locals.


  • Yeah I believe that standardisation is beneficial in general whether it’s capitalism or not. In fact I believe it’s even more beneficial for a non-capitalist society, since yes you could not use the standard but nobody would be able to afford to come up with everything themselves. Unlike companies like apple that can afford having their own proprietary ecosystem including the lightning port. In that case standards could be maintained by non-profit organisations consisting of other organisations with a donation based model. Which is what happens in the real world except for the part where companies step in and put lots of money for their own benefit and to be able to pull these organisations in the direction they desire.

    The concept of standardisation isn’t necessary capitalist but the form it exists in today is shaped by the capitalist world we live in.
