Semi-related: what's a good frontend for android TV? I'm loving NewPipe on my phone, but on the TV it refuses to work in full screen and often in not-full screen too..

1: apparently they're legal for commercial use only, not personal
2: since when does an all-powerful oppressive government have to be consistent in their oppression? Their original justification was suspicion of running a twitter account ffs!
A good faith question is when you're honestly seeking clarification either because you don't know something or don't know what the other person means.
Sealioning is when you're "just asking questions" in a manipulative manner with no intention of taking the answers seriously under consideration or making a valid point of your own.
It's often used in place of an actual argument when the sea lion knows that their point isn't strong enough to withstand scrutiny.
Here's the origin of the term afaik:
Yeah, I have this odd quirk of downvoting sealions when they ask bad faith questions with obvious answers that they refuse to accept. I'm kooky like that!
There are other kinds of fighting than violence on a grand scale. Regular Palestinians are fighting the apartheid regime in ways big and small every day.
Wow, that's MUCH less revenue than you'd expect from a worldwide behemoth like the shithole formerly known as Twitter!
6% of their revenue is probably still billions of dollars. Might even amount to the biggest fine ever.
Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal," she wrote on the platform on Saturday.
That's all. If you're very inattentive or deliberately misinterpreting her words, you'd think that she was endorsing Hamas as "freedom fighters".
But if you DO pay attention and know anything, you'll notice that she never mentions Hamas and know that Hamas aren't usually the ones filming any of their atrocities. Add her clarification from a few days later and it's clear that she did NOT endorse Hamas and is the victim of character assassination because she had the temerity to speak up against the apartheid regime:
I just want to make it clear that this statement in no way shape or form is [inciting] spread of violence," she said. "I specifically said freedom fighters because that's what the Palestinian citizens are... fighting for freedom every day.
This smells really fishy. They quote her directly when it comes to her taking the side of Palestinians in general (aka, the oppressed population) but when it comes to her supposed support of Hamas in particular, all there is in the article is a paraphrase of THEIR version, not a direct quote.
Sounds like a political hit job.
Reminds me of the time the Scunthorpe problem reared its head in a conservative newspaper and sprinter Tyson Gay was autocorrected to Tyson Homosexual ๐
If you think it isn't, you clearly haven't been paying attention to all of racism in general and hypercapitalist neofascism in particular.
Thanks, it's working great so far! ๐ซถ
