No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

A 1-state solution in Ukraine would leave the Ukrainians a minority within an oppressive regime, you'd have an insurgency forever, even if the US stopped sending weapons.
The only solution that is feasible at this time is for the Russian speaking parts of Ukraine to split off, the Ukrainian parts to remain, the fascists purged, and Russia to pay for rebuilding/reeducating Ukraine. Do I think Russia will do the last two? Probably not.
Why advocate for the dissolution of Israel but not of Russia? What were you intending to do with the Israeli people? Why not split Israel and Gaza along linguistic lines as you propose to split Ukraine? Your solution in Gaza/Israel is the complete capitulation and dissolution of Israel, the invader, reversing the situation as it is, whereas your solution in Ukraine is a two state carving up of Ukraine, the invaded, and no negative consequences for Russia, the invader. Why the discrepancy?
If we dissolved Russia tomorrow and created a new state including all Russian and Ukrainian territory, you'd have the Ukrainian areas immediately fighting to secede, and the Russian-speaking areas of Ukraine probably vote to remain.
Give them equal rights to the Palestinians, with minority protections/representation after giving the Palestinian people their homes back and allowing the ones who fled to Egypt and surrounding countries to return home.
Russia and Israel are fundamentally different entities; the Israeli settler-colonial project requires the continued ethnic cleansing of its claimed territory and it's status as an American outpost requires it take hostile action against anyone America wants to fuck with, currently Iran and Syria; meanwhile Russia did a simple calculus:
Option 1: Don't invade Expected result: hostile, NATO-backed state 50 miles from Moscow who can act with impunity and we can't respond
Option 2: Spend 3 days driving to Kiev, replace government Expected result: Pre-2014 status quo of Ukrainian buffer state.
I guess you know little about what's happening in the occupied regions of Ukraine. Your double standards make me sick.
