Some comrades over at Hexbear have organized a donation drive for Palestine and, over the past few weeks, have managed to raise over $1500 for verified Palestinian fundraisers. The fediverse is a good place full of good people.

I'm not "dick measuring" countries, you just systematically perform western-biased analysis of what are good and what are bad actions. For instance, you'd criticise the Chinese internet firewall or the Russian support to Assad, when the realistic alternatives are measurably worse. It seems that "lesser evil" to you guys is something that only applies to western genocidal maniacs and not to actually significantly different nations.

I wasn't thinking about the Chinese internet firewall at the moment, but you bring up a good point - that's a bad thing. What's the alternative, internet freedom where china can't police the media and public discourse?

Sucks how the west makes china censor it's citizens.

The alternative is "free speech" dominated by western tech oligarchs in platforms subjected to intelligence monitoring and constant western interference. It's exactly these things leading to murderers like Bolsonaro and Milei being elected.

Francisco Franco was a murderer who died of old age, Trump is a murderer who will die of old age, Obama is a murdered who's roaming the streets free, if you judge who's a murderer according to whatever someone with a wig claims, that's your fault not mine.
