You are victim blaming, congratulations.

You're the kind of person that would sell out your jewish neighbors during the holocaust to save your own skin.

You liberals through your arab people under the bus to save yourselves. You had the power to demand a better candidate and help others, but instead you put your own privileges and rights over that of the arab people. Those of us who protest voted did so while standing in solidarity with Palestine. Those of you who voted for Kamala, and are now blaming protest voters, effectively spit in the face of arabs to protect yourself. You told them that your life is worth more than theirs and you are now blaming them for the consequences you brought on yourself. You vote for the Democrats time and time again despite them moving more and more right and you expect change. Voting for the lesser evil just makes the lesser evil more evil. You reached the end where now people aren't even okay with voting for the lesser evil. You didn't push for real change and are now blaming minorities and the people who stand by them for not wanting to play your game anymore.

I do not care if you voted for Kamala. I don't think the people who voted for Kamala are bad people. I understand why you would vote for Kamala. I think you are a bad person if you voted for Kamala and are now trying to blame and shame minorities and the people who stood with them in solidarity for why Trump got elected.

It is just racism. They value the lives of arabs less than others which is why they were willing to throw arabs under the bus to protect themselves. They could have made enough of a fuss back when the democrats were still picking their nominee to get them to choose someone else, but they didn't. And now they expect arab people to pay the price for their failure to get a candidate who was willing to protect them. Solidarity goes both way and liberals failed their arab comrades.

Right now we are considering Malta. We are gonna pursue Italian citizenship through jure sanguinis, but also pursue citizenship through naturalization in Malta possibly. We just need citizenship somewhere in the Schengen Area

My great-grandfather never naturalized, he stayed in America through a green card and visas until his death

What ever you think about the American situation, it is far worse than you think. In two days they have removed protections against racial and gender discrimination, passed an executive order defining what a man and a woman is (one that goes against a middle school understanding of biology), effectively got rid of all DEI programs and departments, making it so children have to be molested to prove they are not identifying as a different gender when trying to join sports, and are going to be checking people's sex before they can enter bathrooms.

But I do think you are right that Italy might be worth avoiding, but we are gonna need to get citizenship through them as they are the easiest, and Europe is the safest place for us. I think we might stay in the Netherlands while we pursue Italian citizenship.

How'd the law change? Last I check the person needed to be a citizen since the creation of Italy as a unified country and had to be a citizen when their child was born. My great-grandfather emmigrated to the US from Sicily and never naturalized as an American citizen, so he died an Italian citizen despite living in the US when my grandfather was born. Getting documentation to find out when he was born though.

Also what service did you use to find out eligibility?

From what I have found, its almost all photos of animals and nature. Honestly I am kinda disappointed. I want memes. I also got onto Loops and that is also mostly animals and nature, but with the very occasional funny.

Might not be accounting for posts on communities you aren't federated with

From what I can tell, its uncharted waters. I think there needs to be some level of accountability for moderators, what that looks like idk. But I also don't want to be the kind of person who complains without suggesting anything, so maybe some sort of voting process to make a moderator to step down. I think it'd be a good idea to have a post that asks people for suggestions around this topic

Bro this is just rape...

This. We need to figure out a way to incorporate an anarchist approach to running communities and instances. In what way is a couple moderators controlling and making decisions for the userbase anarchist?

Opened up Lemmy to a stream of memes about soil (wanted to say dirt but I would like to keep my kneecaps), love to see it.
