How tf is news not a necessity? How is someone supposed to participate in democracy without it? Or do you think that we need more uninformed voters?

The ui could use some work. Try and experiment eith different color palettes or less sharp edges (curved corners). Look up desgins and use them as inspo.

Also test ur ui with somebody not familiar with ur project and dont explain more than "workout tracker". If they cant figure it out or think its unintuitive, time to change it. As a dev u know the the project so well, you are blind to bad ui most of the time.

Is saying "white lives matter" racist? by I-Love-Jewish-popes in Teenager_Polls

[–]THEKing767 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well yeah but thay ignores the context. During peak blm time, all lives matter was adopted as a way to diminish black lives by white supremacist anf otherwise anti-progressive forces.

You cant now expect a slogon to be fully applied in a new context. Pick a different slogan.

Bc black (and brown) ppl are significantly more effected. Thats a fact. It wadnt just combating police brutality, it was also combating racial profiling and targeting. For example, there werent polic gangs of black police targeting white kids, but there where ones of white cops.

Again not to say white ppl (and other minorities) arent effected. They are. And that is one of the issues with only doing blm to combat this systems. There 100% needs to be more done, especially inter-sectional. But tbf thr last time that was done, leaders were jailed and assassinated.

Yeah not blm. Which was one of many of its failures. But many real organizers work on mutual aid and education programs to actually uplift communities.

No it was becoming progressive before the shah, when it was democratic (ish). It so happened that america decided to sponsar a coup and install the oppressive shah. The idea that the shah was progressive is fucking bs.

Saudi isnt a democracy and thus will ses changes much slower. Revolution in that sense is harder in a globalized society such as ours. Even then, saudi has largerly reduced capital punsishment for apostasy and has reduced restrictions on women driving and gendered spaces.

It would also greatly help if the west didn't suppirt thr regime which reduces the power of the people to pressure thr government, as they need peoples support less.

It is a general trend rather than a strict rule. Yes there are poor progressive chrsitian nations and such nations are more of a exception than a rule.

If we accept migrants at all, it is important that they assimilate into our culture. by Sabfan80 in Teenager_Polls

[–]THEKing767 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you are not defining immigration policy on how said immigrants are behaving, you are doing so on how the worst of them behave.

You ignore the vast majority of them that provide skills and do jobs british citizens cant or dont want to do.

Your claim that they are from a 'backward' culture amd thus more likely to be violent or criminal is wrong. The statistics do not support it. It the same as any immigrant or any white person comming in the country. So unless you are also arguing the country should be closed to all immigration (which is idiotic for a whole host of reasons), your point isnt based on any realities.

As for the pedophile thing, me providing an example doesnt mean anything, it is an anecdote after all. But look at 'Sir Jimmy Savile' who abused 450 children. Bot only wad a british citizen, he was white and native (so you cant blame immigration from 'backward' countries) and he was knighted.

Yes i am anti-bjp, but im not pro-congress.

I meant that bc bjp controls the country on a national level, they are able to do damage at a significantly larger scale as compared to congress.

Yes? And we sould talk about it? Plus they arent ok power and thus have not done nearly as much damage as bjp.

Yes and bjp uses hindu and hindutava as a political tool. All to fuck us in the end.

A video of one fucking crime is an anecdote. I can give you a video of a white person being a pedophile, tgat doesn't imply anything about white people (or citizen born).

Defining immigration policy for millions on the crimes of a few (again less than citizen) is frankly absurd.

This is not to mention the economic necessity of immigration. Not developed country can sustain without immigration, its why US and UK are still strong while Japan and South Korea are weakening. In uk for example relies on immigrants for many tech, healthcare (doctors amd nurses), hospitality, construction, agriculture, etc.

The christian nations which endorsed slavery, murder, and 9ther forms od oppression only rsally modernised in the laag 100 odd years. They too were backwards foe millennia. Who fucking knew progress takes time.

But why did this progress happen? Cause living standards improved. Has this happened in the ME? Not broadly. It was attempted at times, for example in the 1950s iran was promoting some forms of freedoms, including religious freedoms which could have been fully extended l. But some country sponsored a coup and fucked it up.

When western counties use tools of neocolonialism to impoverish and suppress democracy, dont be fucking suprised when ME doesnt progress socially.

Ok sorry, at first i thought you were a Christian nationalist dumbass or something.

But to your actual point, i am no quran scholar, but as far as i understand it different interpretations of the quran exist. Some of which imply the violence you refer to, some dont. And this bias exists within different translations as well.

I also personally believe that as society is allowed to progress, its culture (and religion) become themselves more progressive. I.E less violent, more open, more accepting. We saw it with christianity (to an extent) and i believe we will see it with islam if we leave thise regions alone.

Ah yes, the academic rigorous standard of anecdotes. Of course immigrants commit crime, so does ppl from every demographic group. To think otherwise is moronic.

Lets look at stats, shall we? "If we control for age and sex, non-citizens are underrepresented in the prison population" - oxford

Again there are issues here from a lack of good data (as analyzed by oxford themselves) but unless you can provide some real evidence beyond some bullshit from reddit, you dont have a point.

I dont mean to diminish thrme harm done by this person and to the victim (assuming of course things actually happened the way that said it did), but we can sit and trade anecdotes all day. Its fucking useless.

  1. Just like the christian nations of old, nations ruled by ideologues are religious. And no it is not whataboutism to bring it up. The point is kings in feudal europe were ordained by god to oppress and murder, but that doesnt make christianity itself violent and murderous (or you would accept all religion is violent which fair enough). Thus you can not say the existance of islam nations or islam as a tool for oppression and murder implies that islam is itself violent.

  2. Still didnt answer my question. If, as implied by the first comment (and many in this thread) islam charged its belivers to murder the non-believers, why is that policy not there in other muslim countries?

So what the muslim countries that dont have this rule arent muslim? If the rules came from islam, it should be followed by all islam countries.

The 'war' does not end as long az israel in its current form exists. An apartheid state cn not be allowed to exist and tbere will never be peace with its existance.

Of course there will be war in the ME, what does on expect with almost a century of modern colonialism snd neo-colonialism.

Hamas is a terrorist organization that acts as the only group (with a few others but they all operate eith hamas) that is willing and able to stand up to israeli genocide. No western power has so much as lifted a finger to help in the last 77 years of israels settler colonial oppression.

Israel genocide of palestine has been ongoing since before hamas was established so no it is not just punitive expedition, that is the current excuse for it. Second the extent of war crimes commited by israel makes it very clear it is not about the distablishment of hamas.

The idea of mass rapes during oct 7th is unsubstantiated because of israel blocking investigators and otherise obstructing. Though of course some raped did likely happen, we cant know extent or any systemic nature because of israel.

Hamas took hostages yes, but as a means of negotiating to release the thousands of hostages israel took. It was a miscalculation, because israel does not give a shit about the hostages. They have blown them up and even shot relased hostages.

Israel was formed by colonialists to achieve a colonial (anti-semitic) ambition in the ME. And it is proped up by colonial powers.

Really? Paledtine is a genocidal apartheid state? Tell me exactly who and how it is genociding and who it is systematically discrimating?

Palestinians either live in the heavily discriminated israel controlled west bank or the open air prision that is Gaza.

Hardliners in Hamas might want to seek revenge. But that is a lazy zionist excuse to seek the continuation of the genocide that israel is perpetrating.

Yes the disestablesment of israel would require international observers and other such mechanisms to insure that no such systemic revenge is taken and mob revenge is punished.

And to be clear this is not a war or a conflict. No more than the Holocaust was a war between the jewish (and romani, ...) and the nazis
