Why this NSFW?

Anyway they just told her they will smash her head into the wall of she doesn't sign a paper...

Why this NSFW?

Because Lemmy doesn't have a different kind of content warning. Some people get really nervous or even depressed by the massive amount of bad news floating around the world and just want a couple of minutes of funny memes to unwind. It's just polite to mark such things, especially when posting them in communities that are usually reserved for more lighthearted content.

Edit: okay guys. Someone has to explain to me why this is getting downvoted. Is it factually incorrect? Is it rude? Or does it hurt your feelings that some people use the fediverse differently than you do?

[–] [email protected] 65 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

The content warning is the title being 'Content warning: gaza genocide', you don't need to also mark it nsfw when it isn't nsfw. At least when it isn't actually graphic in any way.

Besides, this isn't the comm for lighthearted content anyways. Way too much politics here.

As for why you're getting downvoted.. it's three people. They probably just think marking this nsfw is ridiculous, because the title is a content warning already. It also might be that people downvote anyone that says, "why am I getting downvotes!"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You're getting downvoted because you mentioned the downvotes.

Downvotes are meaningless. If you never say anything that people disagree with once in a while then you're just here agreeing with everyone to make yourself feel better.

Just own it: got something to say? Give me your spiciest downvote and come at me in the comments dweebs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries. Enjoy your downvote and have a nice day.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

I don't get it; they can just curate a feed or block communities.

Source?

Those captured, who refused to sign the papers for immediate release, have to wait a few days for a judge to rule on their case.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Source: They posted it on their social media..

And what is EU going to do? It looks like they won't dare even to express their usual deep concerns. So what do you expect from us? Scream, huh?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 days ago (1 children)

We expect a lot. And continue to expect a lot..

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

It seems that most everyone has forgot that apocalyptic religious zealots still run the world, and we haven't escaped the psychosis of the old "holy blood" monarchies that are bent on achieving their prophecy. Evangelicals/Zionists are in charge globally, and they want the rapture. We shouldn't expect anything else from our leaders except that, unless we're prepared to physically stop them permanently.

Israel just kidnapped a foreign government official in international waters on humanitarian aid to a sovereign people.

“She’s part of the rebel alliance and a traitor”

-Netanyahu probably

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

remember when they put mon mothma on a shuttle back to yavin

[–] [email protected] 39 points 6 days ago

To be honest, even though kidnapping a eu official is a much bigger deal than a Swedish citizen, I totally understand why Greta's involvement lead the news before. But now Greta is safe is am really glad the news is continuing to cover this. Could be more, yes, but if this happened last year there would be a lot less news coverage for sure.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 days ago

This is not NSFW

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 days ago (2 children)

She's not white so no one cares.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days ago

A more accurate opinion from the government would be: "she's radical left so no one cares"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yes, in the EU they don't care about skin colour, you US racist... pffft... citizen.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Is this sarcasm? Can't tell, I'm honestly 50/50...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Well, it is a rather multilayered phrase. And sarcasm is present there too. And yes, I really think that most of the US citizens are racists. Even those who call themselves "woke" (I suppose this is exactly the case: the "woke" US citizen mumbling some racist shit while being sure that he is being super anti-racist).

So it isn't 50/50, more like 4/6/33/23/15/19 or something :)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

What about the eu people not caring about skin colour part? Also, how is it racist to point out that people care less about this woman than they do for Thunberg because she's not white?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Lmao Europeans literally invented racism. Who do you think colonized the rest of the world and got us all into this mess.

Just cause it manifests differently in Europe in the modern day doesn't mean it doesn't exist there, and if you truly don't see the racism in whatever part of Europe you're in, then you are part of the racist problem.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (8 children)

Well, it is a rather multilayered phrase. And sarcasm is present there too. And yes, I really think that most of the US citizens are racists.

Most white people are racist.....including the majority of Europeans. Just ask your average European about the Romani people and you'll get to hear some "interesting" opinions.

(I suppose this is exactly the case: the "woke" US citizen mumbling some racist shit while being sure that he is being super anti-racist).

Pointing out that international media has biases when it comes to ethnicity is not racist. Claiming that racism is not a problem in Europe, or that European news is devoid of racial biases is racist.

Always glad to know .....and I'm guessing here, that a white dude from one of the most privileged places in the world still think of themselves as the authority when it comes to defining racism.... It's reassuring that some things will never change.

Israel: "and?"

Whenever the liberals and leftists of the world figure out thst "gotchyas" aren't winning anything is the day we actually stand up and do something.

Greta goes home, everyone in Israel sighs and goes back to killing Palestinians.

Liberals: "maybe we didn't send the right celebrity? Anyone got Natalie Portman's number?"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

Ugh. Yes. The gotchas are totally a pacifier.

"Hmm, nice genocide. Unfortunately for you I found this Twitter post you made ten years ago which proves you are acting hypocritically. Another victory for my cause!"

Like....you have achieved nothing by identifying and publicizing these hypocrisies. Only very logical people care about hypocrisy. Most people just want what they want, and will pick up any reason for it as long as it comforts them, then discard that reason and replace it with a mutually exclusive one later as needed. The only people that care about hypocrisy are logical, and as a general rule, the logical people already agree with you.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

well if they didn’t feel guilty about genocide and starving people, surely they’ll feel guilty if we put a celebrity on a boat.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

are you saying that liberals and leftists are the same

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Looking for an opening?

No, they aren't the same, but a lot of their efforts are similar and they populate the same areas of the internet and political spheres. There are a few leftists sitting behind liberal desks. AOC is one of them.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago

This is not nsfw

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

No need for NSFW tag

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

The western yankkkee world is nothing but a nation of rubber neckers, phonies and Idolator's. Those that want to save the children harm the children. These recent atrocities are not the byproduct of evil but human stupidity. It is in your best interest to do the right thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

That person is ANTI SEMETIC for trying to SAVE DYING CHILDREN and Therefore it's IMPERATIVE they receive NO RIGHTS!

-The ADL, Democrats and Republicans!
