Czechia, same here. Same old Russia wants to invade all of Europe so we have to defend ourselves.

I am pretty sure that is a prerequisite to becoming US president.

Not sure if it is illegal in Germany, but laws usually aren't so specific. Where I live we basically made “From river to the sea” illegal, because “it promotes genocide”.

I've been reading all the replies in this thread and feel like I am missing something. As far as I can tell, the only thing Hakim is saying, is that it is important to consider Islamic influence on current Palestinian struggle. Not that the only reason the people are fighting is because of Islam, or that Islam is any way better for liberation of colonized people.

I wouldn't be even surprised if Islam is actually more prone to anti-colonial struggle than other religions, but I don't know enough about it to make such claims. But more importantly, I don't see anything that says that struggle for Palestinian liberation is something that is possible only thanks to Islam.

Religious text can have huge influence even in completely irreligious populations (in this case, people who identify as atheist). For example, my country is one of the most irreligious in the world. But (in my opinion unfortunately) many of our customs, laws, world view, etc. are in some ways derived from the Bible. So it would be fair to say that to understand my country, it might be a good idea to read the Bible.

Which I would say is basically what Hakim is saying here. If you want to have better understanding of current Palestinian fight for liberation, it is useful to have knowledge of Islam. Which I would say is a completely fair statement. Especially considering how demonized Muslims are in western countries.

I am happy to be corrected, but I just cannot see what people are complaining about in this post.

I truly love the idea that the reason Americans hate communism is their rigorous study of USSR and China.

Wow, it is a sad state, where every single comment of his has negative score, except the ones where he calls Russians orcs…

I think that if there is one person here that I understand losing their temperament, it would be you. Reading the endless threads on lemmy I always wonder how you don't lose your mind arguing with some people.

Unfortunately, misogyny is extremely prevalent in popular media. And not just in media. I myself always only considered women as my equal and as human beings (it is terrible that this is something that needs to be said…). But even so, I always find that there is some deep-rooted misogynistic concept that I picked up and have to educate myself out of.

I agree on shitposting etc. that is what I meant by culture of post being different. But sure you cannot post anti-anarchist stuff on hexbear, but I doubt anyone here is going to post specifically on hexbear with anti-anarchist content, or at least I hope.

To be honest, I don't think it will be an issue. Although the culture of posts on hexbear is different, I think it is pretty compatible. Maybe just mention things like that you should add CW even for meat/non-vegan products. But that is the only significant difference I can think of. Looking forward to having more comrades here.

Not sure if this will be useful, but the thing that broke the China bad programming was actually the Huawei ban. Looking back at it, I realized how ridiculous it all was and didn't make any sense. This was even before I considered myself a Marxists. But not really sure if that will help with convincing many people, especially if they are not into tech.

I don't really get the point of this post. If you want to say that quite a lot of FOSS code is funded by huge corporations, then yeah, sure. Most people I would assume know that. But not really sure what that has to do with title, even if Linux is mostly run by corporations it is still much better than alternatives.

Also, not really sure what you mean by traps like Rust and telemetry. There is no telemetry on Linux and the only reason why I can think of you included it is recent Go telemetry, which I don't really get how it is relevant. With Rust, I also don't get it, Rust wasn't added because some company wanted it or whatever, it was added because it is a popular (and extremely loved) language that is suitable for kernel development. Not many people nowadays want to code in C.
