Prison abolitionists basically fall into three camps:
1. All violence is downstream of base-superstructure interaction (i.e. humans lack free will).
2. The violent should be detained in not-prison until they're reprogrammed to be good by The Procedure (unspecified).
3. Lynchings.
@CoreyWriting he is a terrorist who has done more damage to the jewish reputation than bin laden did to islam.
jewish historians, studying the history leading up to the great pogroms of the mid 21st century, will rip out their hair in agony asking why he was not fired and placed under gag.
@CaralhoPhilly@LinkofSunshine he's no victim, he's a criminally insane psychopath who has done the jewish people incalculable damage.
he has done the jews more damage than bin laden did to islam. in both cases, of course, group hatred is not justified by evil men.
@AdemsanArifi@LinkofSunshine abou mazen has overstayed in office for 15 years, he would lose to hamas by landslide nowadays and everyone in palestine knows it.
@leap_dog@LinkofSunshine ben gvir's party received 5% of the vote in the last israeli election. there is no party to the right of it.
in the 2005 palestinian election, which was free and fair, hamas received 44% of the vote. modern polls show they would still win at least 30% if one were held now.
By VC standards we should either "conquer the world or die in a fire" and neither of these are spiritually compelling for me. I never wanted a company I just wanted a home. At this point we have a large and loyal paid community, we build tons of features for them (I think we did >30 releases this year) and they're pretty happy. We have enough revenue to fund tons of crazy R&D and our models are still the best by the metrics we care about (how the images look and how fun it is to make things). We have a huge backlog of exciting things to make our models way better. Zero risk. We did all this with no investors. Honestly, it feels like we are successful. The next metric of success I think about most about is now that we have "all I ever wanted" in terms of a big well funded R&D lab with cool people free to work on whatever we want... Can we now build something that would make baby David proud? And can we tell bold stories about a human future that people want to be a part of? I think we can.
@nikicaga in Israel recognizing palestinians as humans rooted in the land is common
in palestine recognizing israelis as humans rooted in the land will get you lynched
this guy tried to negotiate a peaceful binational state in 1939 and his cousins killed him

@micsolana@wolfejosh jewish americans have their own sectors of brooklyn with yeshivas, delis, and bagels.
chinese americans in new york make chow fun, not steak and potatoes.
japanese americans make sushi and watch anime, not mcdonalds and red dawn.
