A big part of politics is interfacing with people you might not agree with. It’s called diplomacy.

Commenting just to say this post aged extremely well

Hamas is the ruling, elected authority of Gaza. And even before them, other Palestinian officials have rejected multiple peace deals. That doesn’t mean all Palestinians are culpable, the same way not all Israelis are responsible for Netanyahu’s actions.

Its is a ‘both sides’ issue when the Palestinian side has rejected every peace deal, commits terrorist attacks, and calls for the genocide of Jews. Nobody looks good in this conflict.

Why is everyone so black and white on this issue? Israel has a right to exist. Palestine has a right to exist. It shouldn’t be hard to understand.

A “US-American” if you need to be very clear. But most people just say “American”.

The Julia and Mandelbrot sets always get me. That such a complex structure could arise from such simple rules. Here’s a brilliant explanation I found years back: https://www.karlsims.com/julia.html

These are fair counterpoints, thanks for the reply. My point was more that work is necessary in any society given today’s technology, even in one designed to be as egalitarian and non-coercive as possible

Having to work isn’t a societal issue, it’s the physical reality. Without food, water, and shelter, you’ll die, and someone needs to work to provide those things.

I want a post-scarcity utopia as much as the next guy, but until then, work needs to be done.

So make a self sustaining commune that lives up to your principles. I think you will find that to be more work than your average 9-5 however.

That was true at one point, but reddit has had personalized rankings for a while now. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/7hkvjn/what_we_think_about_when_we_think_about_ranking

But your point stands; reddit’s earlier ranking methodology was obviously pretty good since it made the site so popular.

Thanks that makes sense. I get why some people are against it, but ranking on your engagement can be super useful imo. Like if I comment on a couple niche communities a lot, I don’t want those to be drowned out by the much larger communities.
