The problem is that peace has been negotiated before, and what happened? This…

Israel has had enough.

Lived in southern Africa for 6 months. Primarily Mozambique but I was in SA a little as well as Malawi. They’re very racist, the Africans. My brother who was there as well was driving somewhere one day with a Mozambican, a good dude, and it came up that he wanted all the white people out of Mozambique. My brother is a red-headed white American. He questioned this Mozambican asking what about himself? “Oh, not you, we like you.” Its just how they think about things, probably going back to all the colonization that happened and all the ills or perceived ills that came from that. And so it’s easy to just keep going back to that idea as a society.

And for the record, they didn’t just want all the white people out. They wanted the Chinese out as well. And there’s tensions between the various tribes. Combine all that with low levels of education and extensive poverty and it’s easy for charismatic leaders to come along and pump up these ideas and get movements going as people see hope in the promises even when the results are obviously going to be bad.

Red Reader is pretty good. I moved to it from Bacon Reader years ago.

Its kinda scary how little most people care about stuff that is actually important. This really shows how stuff like the rise of the Nazi party can happen. Most people don’t care about stuff thats bad, even that directly impacts them, until its too late to do anything about it. They just want their life to work the way they want/are used to.

This was my reasoning. Sounded like .ml was having trouble and lemmy.world was advertising their upgraded server and seemed to working good so it’s what I went with.

I don’t understand why this isn’t the most up voted selection.
