I'm guessing your German has a strong Swiss accent?It's quite different in many ways. Most germans don't really understand a thing when we speak swiss-german, especially if we're speaking with some of our funny dialects. You may think that a country as tiny as us doesn't have different dialects, but the opposite is true. You could drive half an hour in every direction and people have different dialects ^^ Another fun fact: Swiss-german doesn't officially exist in written form. No joke. Our language only exists verbally. This is a good although long video in about the differences between german and swiss-german, in case someone is interested: https://youtu.be/zfX1OFMXUh4?si=tMypBUwNb8UACnId Some of the comments are hilarious LOL ^^ --- Like: great videogames, peaceful discussions, open-minded people Dislike: console wars, trolls, haters, review-bombing, negativity |

There is so much misinformation about all kind of stuff on social media platforms. It's worrying, that a part of people willingly gets informations from echo chambers only, rather than from experts. This is the reason, why I'm all for strong restrictions or even bans of these platforms as long as they don't provide a solutions against misinformation. This isn't about cancelling free speech. It's about restricting people and organizations who willfully spread lies. The harm caused by that massively outweighs the good aspects social media can provide, imo.

yum ce being right wing againIt's called common sense. The correct thing to do is to listen to and to understand both sides and find solutions on a common ground. Because finding middlegrounds is what makes us human and eventually helps to reduce frustration, hatred and crimes. If you fail to understand such basics, and if you accuse everyone who doesn't share your point of view, maybe you should question yourself for once and understand that it's your extreme stance that is part of the problem.

Topic | How do you feel about the protests on college campuses |
gu-gohan 05/02/24 5:41:50 AM #6 | Negative, because these protest movements have been partially undermined by people who are either anti-semitic or anti-democratic. The protesters are either ignorantly or willfullingly tolerating their own undermining. Fueled by one-sided social media usage, they loose what's important in conflicts. Staying level-headed, seeing the conflict as a whole, understanding both points of views, standing for a general good cause instead of simply taking one side only.
I've said it in another thread: I condemn the way Israel's right-wing government responded to the terrorist attack on Oct 7. I truely do. I wished they would have responded differently. But at the same time, protesters, who can't see the complexity of the conflict as a whole, and who are unable to see and understand both positions, are taking a one-sided stance. Israel aims to eliminate those who want to extinguish them (Hamas). They have been already in the past - and still are - a genocidal target for certain groups. While I disagree with the methods they responded to Hamas' attack, I can somewhat understand that they want to eliminate the threat that wants them dead (Hamas). Israel is not commiting a genocide, because they do not have the intent to extuingish all Palestinians. They want to extuingish the terrorist organization Hamas, who wants to extinguish all Jews with genocidal intent. Naturally, that is still no excuse for how Israel's government has been operating ever since, which is why I condemned them earlier. But the cause of all this are terrorist organizations in general, and Hamas in particular. I want Palestinians being able to peacefully live in their own state. I want jewish people being able to peacefully live in Israel. I want terrorist organizations to cease to exist. I want no civil casualties on either side. While it's okay to be for an independent Palestine state and to condemn civil casualties, I wished, the people who participate on these protest movements would not tolerate anti-semitic people among them. I wished, they would protest "for a peaceful world", "against war" or "against terrorist organizations", instead of simply taking one side and look at the conflict with a social media fueled bias. The latter only leads to more division and not to what's desperately needed: A common ground, where it's possible to grow mutual understanding eventually. --- Like: great videogames, peaceful discussions, open-minded people Dislike: console wars, trolls, haters, review-bombing, negativity |

SJP on my campus openly endorsed the oct 7 attackAnd that is exactly what I meant in my previous post. It's one thing - and totally legit and rightful! - to pray for Palestine civilians and condemn what Netanyahu and his regime is doing in Gaza. But it's not okay to delegitimize the terrorism on oct 7, to legitimize Hamas, or generally spread hate of Jews at the same time. But this stance can be seen from many participants of these pro-Palestine protest movements, unfortunately.

Being pro-Palestine is quite taboo in the US it seems.Personally, I think it would be good if people didn't constantly take simple pro or con stances, but instead stood up for generally valid principles. One of the biggest problems with such protest movements is that they can be influenced or even taken over by outside propagandists. What I mean is basically what the person below me wrote: emblem-man posted... You have outside people joining the protest with some really bad actual antisemitic language, and it's badly coloring the more peaceful protests which is unfortunate. I wish there was a stronger protest movement "for peace" or "against terror". Or at least more nuances movements like "against Netanyahu and his government" and at the same time "against hamas". Being "pro-Palestine" is not wrong per se, but among the people who participate on these movements there are unfortunately always some, who spread hatred of Jews or deny the State of Israel their right to exist. They undermine the protest movement and promote the conflict. Which is the opposite decent humans should aim for. The aim should be de-escalation and a holistic understanding of the conflict, not an increasingly one-sided intake of information. This only encourages radicalization. It is my observation, probably due to excessive usage of social media, that more and more people are unable to see and discuss about a conflict while trying to understand both sides (and the conflict as a whole). --- Like: great videogames, peaceful discussions, open-minded people Dislike: console wars, trolls, haters, review-bombing, negativity |
