  • Surely you understand the meaning of consensual.

    I don’t see how the military hegemony you openly spouse could lead to any sort of consensual agreement. Hegemony, by definition, is directly opposed to consensus.

    Next thing you’ll tell me the settler colonialism and de facto apartheid state Israel is directly enabling are absolutely necessary, for geopolitical reasons obviously.

    Besides all that, if the point you’re trying to make is that Israel needs the military spending to maintain its territorial integrity, I seriously question they would need 38bn USD in foreign aid just for that.
    And that would be ignoring the fact Israel has been increasingly extending its territorial integrity over palestinian land for the duration of the conflict, and will continue to do so. Not a lot of “two-state solution” in that.




  • Ok but on the other hand I’ve seen this happen quite a lot on Lemmy and there’s really no excuse for bringing over all those sensationalistic headlines from articles.

    It would just require for OP to choose a better headline instead of mindlessly copypasting the one from the article. No need to come up with another one, declickbaiting could be as simple as removing the most hyperbolic claims (“changes history”) and leaving the rest as is.
    Given that you have the freedom to even edit posts’ titles, it seems Lemmy couldn’t make the task any easier short of doing it automatically.

    It really brings down the quality of browsing Lemmy, which can become as tiresome and demoralizing as browsing the clickbait news sites themselves. Not every new discovery and breakthrough has to “fundamentally change the way we think and see the world, revolutionize society, alter humanity forever, hug your mom, and make you breakfast” and that way of thinking that these headlines promote is highly detrimental to scientific research and discovery.
