People were never apart to begin with, even if some power hungry pricks want you to believe otherwise.

We all live on the same planet, have roughly the same needs and wishes. Languages and cultures may be different, but under the hood we are all the same.

Dunno, when some of your best friends literally live in the opposite hemisphere, whatever nice words about planets fall flat considering any costs and times of travel are just to cover about a small arc on the surface of this pebble.

[–] TwilightKiddy@programming.dev 7 points 1 week ago

"Apart" as in "hate each other", not distance-wise.

Nationalism is such a joke! Old rich men sending young poor men to kill each other, to protect their wealth and power. Us pirates have much more in common than a Russian citizen and his idiot president or me and my millionaire chancellor.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Seriously. All these statists favoring sending mlions to die in trenches(return to tradition?) over killing a few billionaire shit heads and maybe just erasing the borders are the problem.

[–] Goodman@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you think that that dissolving borders is really possible? On a utopian level I want to believe, but sometimes I feel like mutual dependence might be the best we got.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think it eont be quite as utopian as you think, but we need to cut the frivoloys bullshit if were going to survive the mess we've made for ourselves.

The purpose of borders really only serves oligarchs and oyher exploiters. It does nothing good for you, nothing good for me.

We might have natural borders like oceans, or single purpose border-like things (like quarantines or 'no dirt crosses this line, please take off your shoes and put em in this bag til you leave the island.') that would come and go as needed, but generally; fuck em.

Just need to get rid of the oligarchs. Which we need to do to survive as a species anyway.

[–] Goodman@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Pardom me if I am wrong but wouldn't you still get borders in the form of economic areas that have specific needs. Which would then result in area specific culture and governance, eventually just resulting in borders again at an eventual conflict with the neigbouring zone? I know that I am making some jumps here, but that is sort of what human history feels like.

P.S.

All for getting rid of the oligarchy btw

Yeah the border between san francisco and fresno is pretty brutal.

The one between hollywood and east LA is also gruesomely fortified.

Old rich men sending young poor men to kill each other,

If bigotry and violence was just old men we'd have it a lot easier

[–] Gaja0@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

Isn't it the whole reason why republicans go batshit insane against critical race theory? That the racism stems from deliberate attempts to divide people for political gain and it's been studied that racism isn't a naturally occurring phenomena?

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I was seeding to a person in Israel and I was tempted to block them tbh

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 1 week ago (2 children)

not everyone who lives there is a Zionist dickhead

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 1 week ago

That's why I didn't do it. iirc, a lot of Palestinians use Israeli esims as well.

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Their polls, voting results and outright nazi public discourse suggest otherwise...

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah but some of them are in jail so aren't polled, or in oublic discpurse, or torrenting.

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Valid of course, but they do not make up the majority unfortunately...

My point is that the theoretical non-zio occupier shouldn't be a consideration.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

There are so many Zionists in other countries so where do you draw the line?

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Exactly the same experience. Even worse once I saw an app on f droid that literally had a popup asking for donations to help Israel and it's war.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

what 💀

Does israel not get enough through the U.S?

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Some of them are beyond brain washed. Idk if i should feel sympathy or not. I should look into this subject more.

They do not need your sympathy. They need ypur bullets. Just not how they think.

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 week ago

I have all the known Israeli IP ranges banned.

[–] FundMECFS@anarchist.nexus 29 points 1 week ago

Ukraine pushing beyond it’s weight as usual ;)
