Stopped reading at "Do you want to work"
(well, at least not for money)
Where I previously lived, I would have said 'agree', or at least it would be a serious quality-of-life determent to not drive, due to spending over an hour to make a trip that a car could in 20 minutes. It also helps that I don't want to hire drive-share or taxis constantly, but this also wasn't a reliable option.
Excessive for my threat model, one more thing which could break something (even if by no fault of its own).
I like it as a concept, but many of my devices don't use it.
Linking to a reply I posted in this thread because it talks about a relevant aspect, which other (correct) comments haven't named: hypodescent.
Blackness/Whiteness is an interesting concept - it's remarkably fluid, especially with changes in time and place. Race isn't the same as ethnicity or genetics, or a direct result of it, although racists often try to claim it is - a stark example of this in Western societies like the US and Australia would be how they categorize Italian and Greek peoples, Slavic peoples, or ethnically-Jewish peoples - the idea of whether or not each of these is White has largely shifted over time, often as a group stops being the current biggest immigration demographic. The USA even had a concept of "Black Irish", which originally meant a post-Famine Irish refugee. Human races are ultimately just social classes, not a biological concept.
Another aspect, related to this thread, is hypodescent. In some societies (it's not a universal thing!), if a child has a Black parent and a White parent, is the child Black or White, or another label entirely? As mentioned in that article, some US states used to legally define someone as Black even if only 1 of their 16 great-great-grandparents were Black.

Yep. I honestly think Christian nationalists and neo-Nazis are more likely perps than Zionists in the West right now. And any socialist should be concerned about neo-Nazi terrorism, because we're just as high on their menu.
I understand that the media direction is terrible and that other post of the rabbi being interviewed was ridiculous, but independently of that, I was thinking that locking down synagogues was a sane thing to do in the context of Christian/White supremacy.
And, lo and behold: already a post suggesting the shooter is a neo-Nazi https://lemmy.ml/post/47552728/25766524 (for those who don't know, that's a Sonnenrad)
