Amazon doesn't have a vested interest in making sure reviews are legitimate. They have a vested interest in you buying a product from them. And fake reviews can certainly lead to you buying a product that you otherwise wouldn't have.

Ah, recommending external services over self-hosting in a self-hosting community, just like the good ol' days. And they say Lemmy can't replace Reddit.

I'm pretty sure they would still care that a foreign power is invading them and taking their land and homes. Wealth inequality is not the core issue here. This is not a class war. Bigotry and hate drives this conflict.

Understanding it isn't justifying it. Understanding it is how you prevent it from happening again.

I didn't say I didn't believe anybody could possibly leave their country for any reason. If you're not a refugee, then your desire was to leave, but their desire is to stay. Why should you get to follow your desire and they shouldn't?

It's pretty hard to make peace with people who are literally taking your homes. Perhaps if that wasn't happening, it would become a lot easier to make peace.

Times like this make me think the tone indicator people were onto something.

Fair enough. From what country are you a refugee, if you don't mind me asking?

You expect me to believe you would simply leave behind the place you were born and all of your loved ones?

Sure, but what you choose to focus on reveals a lot. Nothing they did was deserving of death, nor does any of it even slightly mitigate the circumstances of their death, so why it is what you choose to keep focusing on in your posts?

We shouldn't be discounting entire peoples like that. Nobody is born a nationalist. Every citizen in both countries deserves to live a life free of terror or strife, and instead they were manipulated against each other by a small number of evil people.

Nationalism is a poison and we should be seeking to cure the afflicted, both for their own sake and the sake of all of us.
