Sapphiria 🏳️⚧️ [she/her]@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Community rules ruleEnglish4·6 months agoWhat app are you using? That spoiler tag isn’t working for me on Jerboa.
Sapphiria 🏳️⚧️ [she/her]@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Community rules ruleEnglish102·6 months agoYeah, I’ve seen the term applied more broadly than MLs even, and agree that ‘no tankie behavior’ should be removed.
Just having ‘no authoritarian behavior’ should suffice anyway right?
Sapphiria 🏳️⚧️ [she/her]@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Games@lemmy.world•Petition Activision Blizzard and Grinding Gear Games to ban ElonEnglish39·6 months agoStill worth flooding their inboxes. Make it more expensive for them to keep him unbanned.
Sapphiria 🏳️⚧️ [she/her]@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealedEnglish2·6 months agoI totally missed that the first time I watched it. That’d be awesome.
Sapphiria 🏳️⚧️ [she/her]@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealedEnglish3·6 months agoYeah, I guess I was just hoping for more of a new generation type reveal, rather than a sequel to the Switch. Better hardware is definitely a plus though, would be nice to replay TotK or Pokemon SV with better graphics & performance. I still wonder if those two games were meant to release alongside a Switch 2 prior to the chip shortage.
Sapphiria 🏳️⚧️ [she/her]@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealedEnglish51·6 months agoI don’t follow - is it going to somehow transform into something that isn’t a switch?
Sapphiria 🏳️⚧️ [she/her]@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealedEnglish595·6 months agoCan’t help but be a little disappointed. The last few consoles have all been pretty drastically different, but this is just the Switch released again. Only with different connections so you need all new accessories.

Sapphiria 🏳️⚧️ [she/her]@lemmy.blahaj.zoneOPto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Cost of Doing Business Rule5·8 months agoIndeed - in retrospect, I probably should have illustrated both.
Sapphiria 🏳️⚧️ [she/her]@lemmy.blahaj.zoneOPto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Cost of Doing Business Rule2·8 months agoI’m like 50% sure you’re trolling me here. Was there something specific in the comment I referenced that didn’t make sense? Or did you not read it?
There’s no moral victory in what I posted. I’m trying to call attention to these useless attacks that disregard Palestinians.
And I only see one person mentioning not to participate in elections, unless somehow people I’ve blocked are allowed to comment or something?
Sapphiria 🏳️⚧️ [she/her]@lemmy.blahaj.zoneOPto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Cost of Doing Business Rule63·8 months agosigh We shouldn’t have to constantly bring up every possible angle, every possible nuance, just to avoid accusations like this. The accelerationists are for sure another example of this. I wrote a more detailed explanation in another comment.
Sapphiria 🏳️⚧️ [she/her]@lemmy.blahaj.zoneOPto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Cost of Doing Business Rule41·8 months agoNo, I’m not saying it’s just one or the other. What you describe is another example of this.
What motivated me to make this though, is the sheer quantity of these types of comments, combined with the knowledge that many of those who were in that situation of not wanting to vote for Harris felt that way because they had family that were killed by the administration sending over weapons. I don’t know about you, but if I had family that was gone as a result of this administration’s actions, I’m not sure I’d be able to bring myself to vote for them. And the type of comment I used in the image strikes me as particularly insulting given that context. The existence of Palestinians is ignored while they are simultaneously being used as a tool in the discourse. And no good can possibly come from a comment like this, aside from the commenter temporarily feeling better about themselves.
And to reiterate, yes, white people disregarding the very real genocidal consequences of not voting is also an example. But a lot of that was blown out of proportion too. The lesser of two evils logic holds in swing states, sure. But in states guaranteed to vote one way or the other, a protest vote largely doesn’t matter.
Hope that helped to clarify.
Sapphiria 🏳️⚧️ [she/her]@lemmy.blahaj.zoneOPto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Cost of Doing Business Rule163·8 months agoBasically, yeah. The example used in the video was about immigrant students potentially being doxxed by a conservative planning to give a speech at a university, with the “white moderates” being okay with this (not taking the “bluff”) as a part of their strategy. The point being that “weaponizing or disregarding students of color is still racism.”
The same kind of applies here. The commenter was using palestinians as a tool to attack the people they disagree with, completely disregarding the palestinians in the process.

If they aren’t reminding people that the fascist liar is a liar, then they are part of the problem.

“Trump, a pathological liar, has said he doesn’t know about Project 2025”
James Charles, I think

It’s not as direct, but Star Wars Andor has this kind of energy to it.
