That’s understandable, but every complex situation requires a good deal of nuance. In this case, for example, not all Israelis are Zionists (anymore than all Palestinians are Hamas), and not even all Zionists (or Hamas) are “bad guys.” There are clearly some fucked up political agendas at work, and could well be more bad actors on one side than the other, and if you look close even “sides” become blurred. But there are definitely agents working to accentuate that distinction, and I don’t trust any of them. Which is different from saying all sides are the same. All I know is that war, greed, and power are all bad, and that good people are suffering, but beyond that I don’t know enough to take a public stand (though I’m working on some opinions).
Edit: let me clarify. I’m not trying to be neutral either. When I see something happening in my immediate world, in front of me, I will say/act for the common good. But I’m not going to read something online, about a place I’ve never been, and take a public opinion about it. I trust that there are people there, in that place, that are doing what I would do, and I hope they succeed.

Plus, “misnomer” must mean something like a smart person’s word for “mistake” to the average* person.

“Iceland is green, Greenland is icy.” Oh, shit, it’s also the biggest island that’s not a continent.
Now I got that ZZ Top intro ear-worm…
Same. I wasn’t paying attention, and just assumed an update would migrate everything, but I found out I wasn’t even sure what Lemmy instance and password I was using (rookie mistake, but App Store updates don’t usually wipe everything). Happy to say after some tense minutes I figured it out, and reported the “bug.”
Well, that’s overdue, but to be honest a lot of dry cleaning solvents are either toxic (Chloroform, Triclor) or greenhouse gasses (1,1,1 Tricloroethane, Freons), and most if not all come from petroleum sources. Unfortunately, we need them, or replacements anyway, for things as varied as whiteout correction fluid, industrial degreasers, and household cleaners. Finding cheap ways to make substitutes (like limonene, lactates, acetals) from natural sustainable sources is a huge challenge.

If they practiced trying to cut some random cable in the East China Sea it might raise suspicions, right? Maybe better to practice somewhere else.
And where’s Taiwan?
Just FYI: Media Bias Fact/Check reports Reclaim The Net as having a right-wing bias and mixed factual credibility.

But, I have to wash my mouth out with soap if I even think of that festering pustule. Won’t he just ooze back into the mud on his own?
Wow, must be some rogue pirate vessel, because any formal government ship, especially one flying a bright red flag, would be too easy to identify. It’s a mystery. /s
Businesseses?

Whadaya bet he was in his bathroom, maybe with boxes of documents but never mind that, practicing different faces late into the night. Oh joy.
The headline would be unsurprising even if it ended at the word China.
This is the result of China’s “nine dash line.” If the countries impacted, Vietnam, Philippines, Mtaylasia, Singapore, Indonesia, etc., started a discussion at the UN, it would immediately implicate Taiwan, and nobody wants to touch that. So, local scuffles will continue, as China flexes her muscle.
