If there’s one issue, ever, that you should be at least a little “both sides” on, it’s this one.
There’s no way you can honestly argue only one side of this.

Well, yes. Less working class people vote (as a percentage) than rich people.
Also the rich people help run ads telling the working class who to vote for. And that works often enough to be effective.
Maybe put the results in a spoiler tag.

I was in M2-XFE. That whole experience certainly taught a lot about the power of narrative and propaganda. And the later blockade showed what leadership failures look like.
We always had the advantage in that blockade, and could have stayed there for another year had the allies stuck together. Or we could have executed real plans to break them and end the war. Instead we did the worst of both.
the land they stole.
Do you consider that all of Israel?

It’s possible to support the Palestinians but not Hamas.
In sentiment, maybe. In reality? What concrete things can you do to benefit Palestinians that don’t also benefit Hamas? Hamas are Palestinians.
That’s like saying “I support Israel’s right to defend itself, but not to harm innocent Palestinians.” You don’t get to choose. It’s a package deal.
have been in a position to end the conflict for ages
There’s only one way Israel can end the conflict. I don’t think you’re in favor of it.
“Equally evil” is such a weird phrase. Who was more evil, Jeffrey Dahmer or Jim Jones? And I don’t think standing up for evil because the other side is more evil is any better of a stance than enlightened centrism.
As a devil’s advocate, Hamas uses 100% of their capability for evil, even sacrificing their own lives in the name of religion to inflict the maximum damage. Israel doesn’t use 10% of their capacity, and has more justifiable reasons for doing so.
This does not mean I endorse Israel. You’re right in that Israel causes more overall harm.
Yeah, that’s not the best example. It’s extremist and popular, but not a straw man at all.
I’m generally in favor of parents being able to make decisions for their children (particularly infants) with little involvement from the government.
I don’t think you should pierce a baby’s ears. However unless the government can show significant harm, they should stay out of it.
You can speculate on the more controversial version of this.
Probably Netflix, YouTube, and streaming apps first. I’d say banks, but banks are slow. Games won’t take long. If there’s not enough blowback it’ll spread to every website that uses captchas today.

Oh, the airport is just named “National”. I think the rest is a typo.
They named him “National”?
Calling out people for an extremist, strawman version of a popular opinion is not accepted. Because people eliminate all nuance, and you’re either for it or against it.
I’d give examples, but they’d get downvoted. I’m generally in favor of the government staying out of personal issues that don’t affect larger society. When it comes to a woman’s right to choose, that’s popular. When it comes to certain religious practices, it’s unpopular.
It’s something like
Help > About > Check for updates
My 7.6.0.3 won’t auto update. Says there are no updates available. I’m trying a manual install.
Advertise. And Geocaching is a great way to do it.
I’d recommend a post in the community encouraging people to put a url and/or QR code into some geocaches. Maybe with a sticky at the top of the community that explains what Lemmy is.
Consider the point of view of a person who finds the QR code in the geocache.
It’s both. Even terrible people with something to lose are less likely to throw it all away.
If this guy makes $35k a year at dollar general, he probably doesn’t go on a murder spree.
But you could also just not be an asshole. Why go after random people instead of someone who actually helps cause the bullshit?
