What’s divisive is having a society defined by gender-based hierarchy and discrimination. Pointing this out and trying to change it isn’t divisive, it’s an opportunity for solidarity.

That’s funny because absolutely none of these ramblings have any connection to real life. Get well soon.

politics @lemmy.world•USA Today has published a database of license plates that have been searched with Flock
1·1 month agoYou mean CGNAT? That’s maybe a dozen, not thousands, a few dozen at most. And your ISP logs your connections for some time, so given the target IP it’s still trivial to identify the subscriber.

3·1 month agoDude, if your IP is logged with a timestamp, it’s a simple matter of asking your ISP which subscriber / household was assigned that IP at the time. They don’t even need a warrant.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump just lost his battle to force a university to release its “list of Jews”
3·2 months agoA couple reasons, but mostly their main narrative that Jews will never be safe anywhere other than their own ethnostate. Every instance of actual discrimination and threats against jews serves their interests.

4·2 months agoSad that the best-case scenario is a Democrat-led, imperialist and likely still zionist, oligarchy that pays lip service to a handful of social issues.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If a doctor told you your unborn child has a 99% chance of severe downs syndrome, to the point where they would need constant care until the day they die. Do you think it's ethical to abort?
2·3 months agoThere’s very much an ethical problem here. Sure, it’s fairly clear-cut with some debilitating genetic issues. But there’s a point at which you’re veering into eugenics, and that’s sooner than people think.
Take children who are deaf due to a genetic defect. I’m sure most parents imagine being deaf a terrible lot in life that they’d like to spare their kids from.
Then listen to actual members of the deaf community. They’re proud of their identity, they have their own language, and they’re terrified of the prospect of being essentially eliminated in just a few generations by well-meaning folks that can’t imagine a happy life as a deaf person.
What if we discover a few years from now that there are genetic markers for being queer? What if we can genetically engineer people to be thinner, more muscular, have a more attractive bone structure, lighter skin? Those are all things that offer an objectively more comfortable life, which I’m sure many parents would want for their kids without much thought given to what the societal implications are.
And what if this technology becomes available to a charismatic cult leader, a narcissistic tech CEO, a fascist regime?
Such technology doesn’t just fix genetic diseases. In a hierarchical global society that measures people’s worth by their body rather than their character, it eliminates human diversity.

3·3 months agoThe humiliation is more that of his followers - but they’ve proven many times over that they’re incapable of genuine shame.
That precisely describes his election and everything since.
That’s going to depend on whether US support for the Zionist project will be as unconditional as it has been so far.

97·4 months agoTrump and the DNC themselves are the fruits of accepting the argument of “harm reduction” for long enough.
Guess what, it’s always this election that we need to support an ‘electabe candidate’ standing for nothing while promoting conservative and nationalist values, and always the next where we’ll surely be able to put pressure on the Democratic party to field a candidate that actually wants to change things. You know, the type they like to fight and slander at every turn otherwise.

Contrary to popular opinion, diplomatic immunity is anything but absolute. It does massively hinder investigations for full diplomats as all their communications etc. are protected. But in most countries they do not have immunity from the law except in matters that pertain to their diplomatic duties.
