Most of the time it’s the echo chamber needs that we all have, we want to see opinions that match our own at the top, and opinions that don’t match, at the bottom.

The issue is that social media is very aggressive on the trends. It’s easier for people to formulate a judgement (when the opinion is somewhat ambiguous, or not very strong) when someone else has done the actual judgement for you and upvoted/downvoted.

If votes where not shown at all, the comments would have wildly distinct amounts of support. It’s a pretty fun subject to study to be fair since it affects all of us very strongly so they are not just fake internet points in that sense. People’s days are sometimes dictated by the amount of validation or hate they get from strangers, we’ve been seeing this since Facebook and it will continue getting more relevant as we move more of our daily lives and activities to the digital world.

I saw the article mentioned he had defended the Oct 7 attack so after some googling:

Soon after the 7 October Hamas attack – which killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, with about 240 kidnapped – Alareer caused outrage during a BBC interview by calling it “legitimate and moral” and “exactly like the Warsaw ghetto uprising”, the broadcaster said.

Yikes. Defending oct 7 was pretty fucked up move on his behalf but what Israel keeps doing is arguably worse. Both Hamas and Israel leadership need to be removed from this world…

I think it’s due to the stereotypes and the bad experiences, I’ve had pretty bad experiences with indians in gaming (racist, annoying, begging) and work (incompetent, corrupt, etc), but I’ve also seen that from other people with different backgrounds, more importantly though is that I’ve also seen some amazing tutorials in YouTube from Indian peeps and I’ve also found some great repos from Indian devs as well.

Maybe if we flooded them with such tickets, they would finally see that it might be worth considering?

I’ve worked in customer support and most of the time these type of tickets just get a copy pasted response basically saying thanks for your feedback, kindly go fuck yourself.

If you want something that could be reviewed I’d suggest contacting their legal department or even their HR department. The other option is to look for individual employees emails and socials and just message them.

I recommend not doing any of these things though, because it can be quite annoying to deal with these types of requests, as you will likely not be the first person to suggest this.

I’d argue that actual systemic changes are required to not only punish, but also prevent these things from being allowed to happen.

I admit having free press that can report it is definitely a good step forward though… although now that I wanted to double check some facts on the article I see that it was just removed?

🤔 Can you check if it’s still available to you?

Earlier this year, the State Customs Service of Ukraine registered 653 cases of disappeared humanitarian cargo for military purposes. Some of the missing materials included plates for body armor, night vision devices, thermal imagers, drones, and military vehicles.

How the fuck are they “disappearing” military vehicles, having a whole third of the donations just vanish is really messed up.

Ukraine has got to get its shit together and really fight corruption in a more meaningful way.

For anyone else that is curious:

Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) is the fastest-growing news agency covering Israel and the Jewish world. We provide news, briefs, features, opinions and analysis to 100 print newspapers and digital publications on a daily basis.

I think they compare him to Trump because of the demagoguery and populism.

Well…

In January 2018, referring to a particular case in Chile, Pope Francis accused victims of fabricating allegations

He later mentioned that was a mistake and tried to make things more transparent but ultimately failed to do so. To be honest, catholicism gets away with this shit but we as a society haven’t done enough to prevent or even punish it.

Multiple countries are moving towards fascist populism where the myriads of completely stupid people get to be told how to feel about an issue after a crafty politician oversimplifies the situation.

Even if they are not winning right now, they are getting more and more popular. Democracy is showing how bad it works with an uneducated and easy to manipulate population.

As long as it is cheaper, businesses will continue doing so.

estimating that Mar-a-Lago was worth up to $739 million though its assessed value was no more than $28 million.

Yikes that’s gotta hurt

What about your bob?

Dale unos años y vamos a ver que los canadienses las andan explotando

The article you posted mentions the Red Crescent group https://www.ifrc.org/donate

Ideally a scientist would operate politically on the basis of improving society though objective, measurable and honest actions, however Sheinbaum is corrupt as they come, she’s pretty smart but she’s basically sold her soul to her party, which was founded by the current Mexican president, who has been dismantling as many autonomous bodies for checks and balances as well as transparency institutions as he can.

Sheinbaum is very likely to win since the president has a 2-3 hour live propaganda show almost every morning where he attacks journalists and the opposition and he makes cringe jokes.

We’ll have to see if once she gets executive power she starts acting for the betterment of society or if she continues following AMLO

I had no idea what that meant either so I googled it.

TL;DR: islamism and right-wing extremism are turning the country into shit.

About 20% of the population was apparently born abroad, and lots of immigrants never properly adapted to the society, so some of them bring islamic values, which clash with developed nations values.

This makes the more feral parts of the society react in counterproductive ways, in other words, right-wingers burning Qur’an books.

Personally, I think Islamic principles do not play well with other societies and letting refugees come in to your country when they practice a religion that beheads you if you draw a picture of their leader is a bad move.

However, I do understand that being targeted by assholes that just want to incite violence, and hate you because you are different, would radicalize a lot of people, specially young and vulnerable ones.

unsubstantiated accusations against members of the opposition have come from President Andrés Manuel López Obrador himself.

He even tried to get rid of the national electoral institute (autonomous body in charge or overseeing and organizing elections), just so that he could advance his interests.

It’s such a shame to see the president behaving like a complete asshole, making false statements about his opposition and then saying he’s just joking or finding ways to circumvent gag-orders.
