    So you’d rather use the platform run by treacherous robbers called PayPal ? So we can’t use Stripe (ok fine) & we can’t use PayPal, ok any suggestions ? Cuz I got one GNU-Taler

      Why deposit your money with a central authority? The linked website points out that Taler adds instant confirmation to Bitcoin, but you can already get that using the Lightning Network - without custodial risk.

      I’m trying to find out a list of companies using stripe and I think it would be easier to list ones not using it… What I’m getting is basically any time I spend money online, and sometimes in person, they get a cut

        Yeah pretty much. As a payment intermediary they’re actually really good. Top of class one could argue.

        The executive’s politics aside, trying to boycott them means boycotting all their users. Good luck with that.

      I have family in Israel and have been there several times. I liked it there. I liked how all the signs were trilingual and the food was excessively good. I don’t however approve of the Israeli government or how they’ve gone about this conflict.

      Does this make me a bad person in other peoples eyes?

        Timing matters. I have family in Austria. I like a lot of things about Austria and I also don’t approve of a lot of things the government does and did.

        If someone were to have voiced that sentiment loudly in 1942, they’d probably be an asshole.

          So from your definition, me having family there and having some positive sentiment about some things I experienced there quantifies me as an asshole.

          I find the prejudgment interesting. I used to only get this from right wingers for being Jewish but now I get it from both ends haha. Take care!

            Your post completely ignore my first and main sentence.

            It’s the timing that makes you an asshole, not your sentiment.

            Israel is currently engaging in genocide. I know it. The UN knows it. Dogs know it.

              Good… good . Fight about another country. Split apart. The imperfect are unclean. Give no quarter.

              The left will never unify and the right will win.

                If any part of the left is OK with genocide the right is already winning and the only hope is to split with them.

            Just putting it out there, you are not. Your deeds and intentions are what define you. And there is no race or nationality that makes you inherently bad or good.

      Dunno why you’re getting down voted.

      I visited Israel 10-odd years ago for work and I loved it. Beautiful country and people… if you ignore all the politics. As with the US.

      What I hated while there was the demonisation of everything Palestinian. It’s like a cult: if you don’t agree, you’re one of them. (Get fucked).

        It’s the timing.

        Israel is currently engaged in a genocide. Some guy talking about how much they love all the beautiful things about Germany in 1942 would get down voted to hell too.

    Looks a bit insensitive but it’s not even expressing support for Israel’s war.

      He expressed support by making an avoidable visit. Just like I would express support to the wife beater in my neighborhood by having lunch with him.

      If Israel is a colonial project, any relationship fueling its economy is supporting the war. This includes touristic activities, investments, any kind of business.

      The BDS movement worked against South Africa because it was totalizing and any chance to suffocate the Israeli colonial project must go through the same strategy.

          I’d say the only “reasonable” objection would instead be on the pervasiveness of the conclusion. You can’t walk out your front door and remain consistent on that.

            Right on, second time noticing you here today. You’re right again. When I replied the comment was at -2 and now it’s +9. I think several people have alt accounts for vote manipulation. Good thing votes don’t mean shit!

            Edit- My only complaint with the app I use, Sync, is that it only shows total votes and not individual totals.

              I use voyager which lets me toggle what I see (I actually switched to individual recently) and the comment I assume you’re talking about is at +19, -9 votes, and was about the kid who shot the home intruder

              There are lots of down votes on both sides of that thread tho

              (Also subtle voyager plug)

                  As in the one you replied to? That one is +9, -0 So people either changed votes or there was weird federation things going on
