You're forgetting that my car doesn't go faster than 150km/h, and even at that speed the battery lasts way shorter than at a comfortable 120km/h🤡

Fuel consumption at 200km/h is almost double compared to 120km/h, so who has the cash anyway. And even if you do, is it worth it? Nah.

I'm on lemmy.world and I've seen at least one from Hexbear

I have seen pretty radical stuff from [email protected]. Like, holy moly. I think it was on All, but maybe I accidentally subscribed to it. Saying stuff like "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" seems to get upvotes over there.

I get it, Israel's illegal settlements and occupation of Gaza make it pretty easy for radical groups to gain followers. But that doesn't mean that shooting at ordinary people is going to fix anything. Sure, Palestine has a right to defend itself. But shooting up a festival hardly qualifies as this.

Equally relevant, putting aside Israel's settlements which we know to be illegal, the number of civilians dying in Gaza is totally unacceptable. Air strikes might look less horrific than men with guns, but they are really equally horrific, killing huge numbers of civilians. These lives are not worth less in any way.

I think this order of thoughts is appropriate:

1. It is awful that civilians are dying, no matter where they live
2. Unjust violence is taking place in Israel and in Gaza
3. This doesn't come out of the blue. Current conditions are a violation of international law by Israel and are a breeding ground for radicalisation. Israel has many more cards in their hands to turn this around than Palestine has.
4. Can we please end this endless cycle of violence and suffering?

You can be successful in helping others and live one of the most fulfilling lives without needing to be rich*

*Disclaimer: This tends to be a lot more difficult when you're born poor. If this is the case, try finding someone who isn't, who is trying to live a fulfilling life.

And beans. And lentils. And peas.

Also, opting for the burger options doesn't have to mean eating a huge quantity of them.

Could be worse though

Whoa, way to escalate a discussion. I thought we all fled from Reddit because of things like this.

Liberalism is not a single ideology. I wrote a few other replies to explain this. Check the Wikipedia page on liberalism in Europe, it's quite diverse.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism_in_Europe

In political science definitions aren't prescribed, they are described. The meaning of liberalism is dependent on what actors who call themselves liberal say or do.

There are different kinds of liberalism. There is social liberalism, classic liberalism, conservative liberalism, etc. Considering how broad liberalism is, for most people it doesn't make sense to "oppose" liberalism.

A country doesn't have an ideology. People and parties do.

People assign different meanings to it. Many people are aware of the differences in liberalism between the US and Europe, but also within Europe there are many differences. Liberalism in the UK differs quite a lot from Sweden and the Netherlands. And within countries conservative Christian parties might say they are liberal, as well as centre leftwinged parties. Yet, they might find it hard to collaborate and have strong disagreements on the role of the state.

Liberals can easily have entirely different views on the conflict between Palestine and Israel.

Liberalism doesn't tell you exactly what to prioritise here. For sure is that the establishment of settlements isn't very liberal, and violence against civilizations isn't either. But liberalism doesn't dictate a solution.

It's just maintaining arch that was a bit of a headache for me. I loved having access to the AUR and being able to use bleeding edge.. well, everything. But too much of my time ended up going to fixing issues after updates or finding out what package to choose when there were conflicts during updates.

I don't really recognise this in responses that I've heard so far. Everyone seems to be quite aware that Israel's military capabilities can't be compared to those of Hamas and a large part of the escalation is in the hands of Israel.

The western world can't even agree on what liberals are. It is not that helpful to characterise 'liberals" in a particular way around this issue, especially when randomly involving minorities in Ukraine.

Instead of focussing on whose side who is on, let's focus on reducing suffering and how to work towards a situation where international agreements are upheld.
