Someone already said that either the created language takes from too few source languages and alienates speakers of languages with no common characteristics or takes from every language family and becomes a horrible mess that's hard to speak for everyone.

So if a world language is a bad idea no matter what languages you use as a source, why not have Esperanto or something similar for Europe/English speaking world and then a different language for Asia, and another one for Africa. You've reduced the number of translators needed and left most people with a language close to their mother tongue. You could also break the suggested regions in to smaller sections eg give Germanic Europe a common Germanic language. West/south Europe get Esperanto, east Europe sets a common slavic language. You still get languages that don't neatly fit like Hungarian but its better for most language learners than the last example.

Personally I'd not propose universal languages as a utopian idea and instead promote indigenous languages such as Catalonian, Breton, Irish and promote learning many languages in a post work society.

That would be a ~~ecumenical~~ philosophical matter.

If you said black people were too incompetent to free themselves from slavery you'd be racist.

If you say Palestinians are too incompetent to win any wars then you're racist.

Its the same fucking thing you dolt and victim blaming.

You don't repeatedly start wars, lose those wars, and then get to dictate terms to the winning army.

So might is right. If the Nazis won world war two, do you think they should be allowed to do what ever the fuck they want to conquered peoples because they won?

It is apparent that the Palestinians will not or cannot stop their children from attacking Israel.

You keep saying palestinian children are threats and Israel should be allowed to destroy any threat even if its not imminent (contradicting international law but hey ho) then saying oh but children aren't actually being targeted, they're just dying in large numbers because of IDF whoopsies.

If Palestinians cared about their children, they would raise them to not attack Israel. Apparently, they cannot or will not. This is the consequence. Israel is not there to exact an eye for an eye. They are there to destroy any threat to their security. That means destroying Hamas and all who support them.

Again this is you saying Palestinian children are threats and that Israel is justified to remove threats

The Palestinian people are too fucking incompetent

Nice racism

You claimed at the beginning of this that you are pro-palestine

Yes personally, I'm pro-palestine which means I'm anti-israel not anti-israeli. The state built on fascism and oppression is what needs destroyed not the people. Nice of you to shoehorn the old if your anti-israel you are antisemitic, really filling up my Zionist bingo card.

You can't pretend that those calling for peace are calling for the destruction of Israel and should be suppressed.

I'm not pretending, you just admitted to it.

When I talk about the people who call for peace, I'm talking about other people from myself, the liberals who IMO misguidedly see peace without Palestinian liberation as the solution. You insult your own intelligence to call these people anti-israeal or pro-palestine. They are pro-peace. We can both say they are wrong but they mean well. It is their human right to protest and in a democracy individuals should be able to call out their government for committing war crimes or supporting war criminals. This isn't possible in Israel and a good few western nations supporting Israel right now.

Irrelevant. People die in war, including civilians, and including children. If Palestinians cared about their children, they would raise them to not attack Israel. Apparently, they cannot or will not. This is the consequence. Israel is not there to exact an eye for an eye. They are there to destroy any threat to their security. That means destroying Hamas and all who support them.

So it's war and Israel considers all Palestinian children as threats.

Again, prove that it's indiscriminate? You don't know what the IDF knows, so you can only be propagandizing with statements like that. You want Israel to be indiscriminately bombing Gaza, because of how that changes the appearance of the situation.

Hang on you just said every child is a threat and they are going after every threat but that's not indiscriminate or genocide?

And, what does this have to do with creating a solution to the war? You advocate for peace, but you ignore what will happen to Israel if they lay down their weapons. What happens to the Palestinians if they surrender? Will they be destroyed? What happens to Israel? I bet you won't answer.

I'm advocating for liberation of Palestinian people and the destruction of the Zionist state.

You can't pretend that those calling for peace are calling for the destruction of Israel and should be suppressed. Israel has not disappeared in peace time during the last 75 odd years, in fact it keeps getting stronger and bigger.

It would be wise to stop attacking the giant bear that has the power to oppress and destroy you.

So don't defend yourself from this angry bear that thinks you are a threat and wants to kill or oppress you even if you haven't done anything yet.

You really said the quiet part out loud in this comment.

HTTPS is definitely not a major reason the web turned corporate. It has its problems for sure though.

Look at Gemini if you want an example of a decent web ecosystem that has HTTPS as a requirement for the protocol.

Gemini benefits from two things that the web has lost:

• small size: just like the web was once small, Gemini is still too small for any copos to consider it as an option to push their content or services although I believe there has been some small examples of this being tried.
• simple browser spec: Gemini benefits from having a number of browsers, none of which implement anything as interactive or insecure as JS(mime types other than gem text tend to be opened by other applications) and no one browser is influencing the spec for their own goals. This means all Gemini content is static once loaded by the client. No injected ads, no scraping of data and no hijacking of the tech by private companies.

Neither side initiate these, its tit for tat going back over 100 years

It's not charity if everyone gets it, it's levelling the field and making society fairer.

For the people who need it most it could mean life or death or being able to stay in their home or not have to choose between heat or food.

For those in the middle it might be a nice excuse to treat yourself.

For the richest it would be such an absurdly tiny amount of money they might not be able to spend it.

All we should care about is making sure as many people in the first group get the support. For basic income payments the most effective way to do that is to give it to everyone. By the government giving you that money instead of doing what I talked about above, more people were helped.

Also has the added bonus of countering slightly the siphoning of wealth from the poor to the rich that's been happening the past while.

If you are watching any content from the web, it doesn't matter if you download it or "stream" it. The same data gets sent to your computer either way.

My response to your first comment implied that both downloading and streaming pirated content count as sailing the high seas since both methods mean downloading pirated content.

Some people may not see "streaming" torrents as the correct way to pirate things because you aren't seeding though.

But as you said public works are slow. If we build it now, people benefit from the change while we figure out how to improve beyond our current thinking/physical situation. If we wait everyone has to deal with the current issues potentially forever since we should always wait because there will always be a better idea further down the line. Yes it'll never be a perfect solution but its still objectively better than the status quo.

Also yes there my be unforseen issues caused by our implementation but there will be unforseen benefits as well. Is the glass half full or half empty....

There is also semi-related known benefits like in the case of major public works and investment in infrastructure, they are usually pretty good for the economy.

I understand your point that there is no such thing as a magic bullet solution. However you saying that in response to proposing well done cycle infrastructure as a solution is a perfect example of "perfection is the enemy of good".

All that geopolitics doesn't make the people Anglo though.

Why the fuck are conflating damage done to being most racist. Whites may or may not be the most racist as a whole but because they've had a lot of global power the last 400 years we can see the impact of it more than any other group.

I really don't care who is most racist on averagee because I have an understanding that racism is everywhere in the world and should be fought against everywhere.

Again you are showing you have a really simplified black and white view of the world.
