i use keepassdx, never run into the issues you’re describing. do your password managers have permissions to display over other apps and act as the password manager in settings?

my problem with this is that aspects of identity that people are oppressed on need to be discussed within a framework of undoing that oppression. we have to talk about race because people are oppressed based on their race. we have to talk about sexuality because people are oppressed based on their sexuality. i would even say we have a great societal failing in which indigenous religions aren’t respected or studied, and are all sublimated and eliminated by christianity, islam, and buddhism. many religions contain a group’s collected collective wisdom. there’s even valuable wisdom to be found in christianity, islam, and buddhism, lest anyone think i am trying to speak outright against these, but we should be studying the collected wisdoms of both these smaller religions and bigger religions because when you draw everything from one source you become stuck in orthodoxy instead of open to possibilities.

here in north america, there are even religions which preach that queer identities serve a specific societal role and are to be celebrated and loved just like the child bearing identities. until we reach a point where a religion like that is allowed to be seen and heard without being labeled as pagan heathens to be purified, i think we have to talk about both. it’s one of those things where when there is an oppressed group and you choose to remain neutral, you are taking the side of the opressor

they’ve convinced a disturbing number of people that the 3/5 compromise was a radical step towards the global abolishment of slavery

“liberation is when authoritarians operate via pieces of paper and text on a screen to purchase access to violence to exploit the workers”

they have been problematic through their whole history, but in 2000 the un security council demanded israel withdraw troops from the west bank. this led to the resignation of the president and the election of moshe katsav, a crucial step in the leikud gaining the near full control they have maintained over the past 25 years, as this election would ultimately thwart a criminal investigation into benjamin netenyahu’s corruption.

obviously i didn’t understand all of this at 8 years old (i guess i was in third grade) but this was highly divisive in my community, with many younger jews seeing this all as a good thing and Hezbollah as a looming ever present threat, and many older jews seeing reflections of the beer hall putsch, hitler’s show trial, and eventual political takeover of germany. it was hard for me to understand why everyone was both so scared all the time and how this generational divide had formed

supporting israel is not an indicator that someone doesn’t hate Jews. many right wingers want there to be a place only for Jews so they can conduct an ethnic cleansing and send all the Jews there. the thing to understand is that zionism and anti-semitism are not oppositional forces, but instead two different ways of saying that Jews have no place in their current places of being and need to leave

it’s older than that. censorship has always hid as “protecting the youth from radical idealists” while letting authoritarians say anything they want to maintain a specific narrative where the limited protected class gets to remain the limited protected class. they’ve gone by many names. the high priests, the patricians, the nobility, the bourgeoisie, the party, the council, the oligarchs, the billionaires. they also always label an unprotected class as being the root of all the problems the protected class causes.

nothing is new. 1984 describes three great imperial powers locked in permanent combative detente. this is based on george orwell’s observations on history, and his prediction that this would not fundamentally change in his lifetime without something changing.

sometimes lemmy doesn’t mark messages you’ve read and replied to as read, so voyager continues to show as red. the real question isn’t “do i have the notification number” it’s “has the notification number changed”

for me, inbox zero will remain 105 until i decide to empty the whole thing

when i went looking for one all i could find was stories about how denver cancelled their salvation army contracts after violent clashes

similar situation. jewish mother, raised without religion in a largely lutheran and jewish community. i remember in 2000 my kindergarten teacher (i was in 4th grade at the time) sitting me down to explain to me that israel was something called fascist, and that as a holocaust survivor, he could never tolerate fascism. he always wore long sleeves at school. it was then that i learned why. the nazis had tattooed a number on his forearm when he was 3.

it is offensive to his memory that israel uses the kindest man i’ve ever known’s religious symbols to perpetuate the very worst thing that ever happened to him on others.

this still normalizes mysoginy and anti-trans sentiment when your focus is on two shit politicians

i only have experience with my local unitarian universalist church who broke away from the organization when the organization was a little to accepting of zionism. it’s kind of a paradox of tolerance thing. but i can’t really speak on where the national organization is when i have no ties to them and the only ones i had got severed. they might be good they might not. it would be inappropriate and irresponsible for me to say. if you’ve been engaged with them or their members and are finding them helpful in these times, then i see no reason not for you to say “these guys are good, others should check them out”

it makes your nose red

i would direct people to in particular consider coalition building with the united methodist church and evangelical Lutheran christian in america (ELCA). neither group is perfect but they’re both involved in civil rights activism

they, additionally, are against labor unions and secular soup kitchens. they claim to want to help people, but they won’t help people unless it feeds their savior complex and control over congregation.

the funny part to me is that jesus reads as an anti-authoritarian. he preaches that it is better to help the hungry than to be dogmatic about orthodoxy. makes the salvation army seem pretty unchristian

there’s other shelters that salvation army actively antagonizes and lobbies against so they can have a monopoly on coercing the homeless into swearing to be devout to the salvation army’s christofascist views.

at the same time it’s demonstrative of exactly how israel saying they represent me makes life more dangerous for me.

and the real truth that people in the diaspora have found is that any hate against anyone makes the world more hateful. we value peace for two reason:

1. we’re not fucking monsters
2. we don’t want to live with and around monsters for our own safety

so we will continue to speak on that the jewish identity is not tied to slaughtering other ethnicities, as israel says it is. many see the stories that have been passed down through judaism as the tale of a group of people who have maintained their history through multiple genocides, and exist to speak into the world how to avoid these atrocities.

in summary:

1. if you find yourself by default hating any group audit it and see if you’re being shown an incomplete version of that group
2. fuck israel for everything they’ve done
