Damn, you’re really angry about this.

Calm down.

🥱

You’re right. There’s a law of the universe that says it’s physically impossible for a nation to follow it’s own anti-discrimination laws.

There’s nothing that can be done to change it. No matter how much time passes or how much we may learn, it will remain an absolute fact.

Australia has some of the most racist people on the planet.

The problem is, since they live in a self-contained ‘white-zone’, they rarely have to deal with the problems of racial diversity.

So many people think Americans are racist, but that’s just because the USA actually has to deal with diversity.

It’s easy for nations like Australia or Iceland to appear as they though care about other races until it comes home.

Huh that doesn’t make anysense?

I mean, if you use your brain it makes perfect sense.

I don’t watch ads. Youtube is profitable. I shouldn’t have to watch ads on an already-profitable product.

Accepting less is just me lowering my standards so people richer than me can be even richer.

Might wanna brush up on that reading comprehension, lol.

I think it’s important what that technology is and priorities should matter.

Right now people prioritize whatever makes rich people richer faster, hence “we’re passing a bunch of money around at the top.”

Lots of people who contribute to the problem don’t want to admit it, though.

Magnitude matters, and the resources wasted doing this could have a legitimate impact.

about posting on Lemmy.

Lol. Settle down there and think about why this doesn’t make any rational sense.

This is the “don’t be depressed, starving children in Africa have it worse” kind of argument. Please don’t.

No it’s not, and you’re resorting to analogies because you can’t argue against the topic at hand. Please try to stay on topic.

Funny watching people like you defend wasting money on electric dresses while kids go without food, water, electricity, education, and shelter. You’re trying to save face because you like contributing to the problem but don’t want to admit it.

It’s okay, I come across people like you all the time. You’re the kind of person who thinks those who have more, deserve more, and those who have less, deserve less.

I totally agree. We need more peer-supported services.

Love this is what we spend our resources on while children go without food, water, electricity, education, and shelter.

Hey man, it’s your time and money.

Spend it how you want to.

Something tells me you only care about ideas that don’t criticize you.

That’s the thing.

You’re already proud to lower your standards, why not lower them further?

Yeah. Nah.

I shouldn’t have to watch any ads on an already-profitable product. Accepting less is just me lowering my standards so people richer than me can be even richer.

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I recall reading something like “only 39%” of the Pentagon’s defense budget can be accounted for.

They aren’t even playing world police.

Playing world police would be doing things like helping Venezuelans.

I guarantee you, every modern instance you can think of where America is “playing world police” is actually a calculated effort to maintain its global interests. Or at least, the global interests of its ruling class.

There is no Hamas without Israel’s oppression.

This is all one big exercise in independence.

I’m glad we’re seeing people actually have independent thought instead of just rushing to say whatever will make them fit in with their tribe.

Eh. More like rich adults who know they can get away with anything because they have their entire lives.

What did they think would happen when they blockade a whole city and oppress the people?

They thought they could do whatever they want and any retaliation would be a golden ticket to massacre Palestinians.

And they are correct. Nobody is going to stand in their way. Nobody is going to offer anything more than ‘condemnation.’

I think part of that solution would be laws and regulations to prevent discrimination.

It’s not impossible.
