Israel is a racist genocidal settler-colonial ethnostate. All good people wish for the destruction of such a thing just like all good people wished for the destruction of the apartheid South African ethnostate. If Hamas wishes this, they should be commended for it, don't you think? And anyone who disagrees called out for the racial supremacist that they are?

I never said I didn't care. In fact I care very much.

From Merriam Webster: "one" example: "you never know what will happen"

Hamas is a terrorist organization. Lets not pretend that they're some force of good.

Hamas is a Palestinian resistance organization against apartheid settlers that routinely use and used extensive terrorism. While the Zionist entity bombs residential blocks, schools, and refugee camps, the axis of resistance, which includes Hamas, focus on military targets and building if leverage for their own liberation.

The term "terrorist" is used selectively and in a racist way. When the Western Imperialists like a resistance organization they call them freedom fighters. When they dislike them, they get called terrorists. The ANC, including Mandela, were similarly labelled terrorists in their own fight against apartheid. Similarly, the Americans supported apartheid in South Africa and its mainstream political adherents gladly adopted their white supremacist framing.

Using a client that shows the pronouns in hexbear is good and it sounds like you are doing that now.

As a follow up, I recommend approaching gender just as one would if they were bring mindful with new people. If you don't know pronouns, using they/them is a fine way to start referring to someone neutrally. You can also just use their name. It is considerate to then figure out what they prefer in a non-awkward way, either by how others talk or by just asking them nicely. Having pronouns displayed by names is just helpful for clarity and speeding things up online.

We are comparing the current state of countries, yes?

No because what I described is part of a systemic process and is ongoing, has precedent, and has its supporters for future depravity.

Do you think Norway for example currently has an imperialist settler core?

Norway is a subimperialist petrostate of the imperial core. It does the bidding of its masters. It is, primarily, irrelevant, but it does sometimes act as a hanger-on in militarism and it certainly loves to pump the price of oil, e.g. supporting American sanctions on Venezuela that CEPR estimated to kill tens of thousands yearly. But naturally, that skips Westerners' human rights discourse entirely, they pretend sanctions aren't civilian-targeted dispossession. In addition, Norway just uses loopholes to hide its role in weapons sales, including to Israel.

What would you call China's ambitions regarding the nine dash line and Taiwan if not imperialist?

Getting off-track, aren't you? Or in your mind would you declare any imperialism you can find a human rights violation? If so, hoo boy is my thesis correct.

I'll entertain those two questions when they can be seated coherently, I.E. we have resolved the actual topic and can discuss what imperialism is, as those questions suggest you don't know.

Certainly compared to the settler imperial core responsible for virtually every war and the racist status quo of systemic deprivation. It is not a serious discussion to imagine otherwise.

I kind of already said that.

When you can't even call it a genocide of Gazans by Israel you should rethink whether you should even comment.

The "two-state solution" has always been a comprador-negotiated position to establish Bantustans and the Zionists won't even implement that because they are too bust doing land grabs and genocide.

The only liberatory solution is a single state without apartheid.

Absolutely wrong. The implied "incremental improvement" option is the party doing this genocide. If you want to stop these things you need to help organize opposition to it.

Also please show some respect and stop using passive voice or like there is no blame or perpetrator. This is a propaganda tool of the genociders. The genocided, their deaths just happen, per this propaganda. You're not meant to know where the JDAMs that bomb schools and hospitals come from. Don't ask who makes them. Don't ask who buys them. Don't ask who supplies recon for them. Don't ask who produces and sells and buys the planes that drop them. Don't ask who gives this genocide diplomatic support, PR support, and tries to shove it down your throat as if you have no agency.

Don't let your masters make you complicit in genocide. Name the actors. Blame them. And fight against them.

Free market propaganda has never been applied under equal circumstances. It is rhetoric used by capital to reduce or destroy regulations, labor, national sovereignty, etc. Western industrialized capitalist coubtries built their industry and infrastructure using tariffs to protect it, then turned around and demanded the opposite from other countries so that they would have to buy their products and sell whatever those colonizer countries wanted (at the time, usualky raw materials).

Now that other countries are ascendant, US-based "free market" capital is gladly re-embracing protectionist logic. It has only ever been about maximizing their profits. The "theory" of free markets tails capital, it isn't a science or even a valid line of thought.

I'm holding out for titanium do I can add it to my EDC loadout and totally dunk on that loser Travis at the office.

If you own the copyright then yes this is 100% legal.

There are already apps that are like this. They usually add a couple features to the paid release so that people feel like they are getting something extra for the money. The good ones will eventually move those features to the open release eventually. However, this incentivizes keeping part of the app closed source so that nobody can just rename and re-release the paid version.

It is 100% up to you for how to handle these tradeoffs. Personally, I think so long as you are principled and ready for some criticism - and can handle it gracefully - getting paid for work that builds your open source app is a very good idea. We don't all have the luxury of maintaining high quality unpaid side projects!

The ruling class of the United States has always been like this. This is a country founded by and for slaveowners that gladly governed in their own favor.
