THE TWO MOST STOLEN ITEMS IN THE WORLD: a pen labeled Surplus Value of Workers Labor, and a lighter labeled Indigenous Land
Not just the surplus value, the actual value, too, through Wage Theft!
56So basically, time and space.
22"The Commons" would also work. I'm still sore about that, that was my god damn indigenous land.
14I discovered one lighter that no one will steal from me. They'll give it back to me a week later when we run into each other. It's a Toronto Maple Leafs lighter. I buy them whenever I see them now.
5Someone left their lighter at a house party we had. "Donnie's fucking lighter" was professionally printed on it. I have so much respect for Donnie.

I realize this is talking about actual theft, but all I can think of when I see the image this:

This is the time to say it - the two objects in the image are examples of great design. The best design.
5Lol where'd the only interesting comment chain in this thread go? I thought this was supposed to be not like reddit, but are we deleting entire threads of civil discussion now without even acknowledging it?
4Permanently Deleted
4I'm in KBin and have the same thread but with the first comment that it seems you don't have.
It reads "Indigenous land is a tough one. If you stick with that, Israel is just taking their land back, and right wing European politicians have the moral high ground."
4Hmm ty. Not sure if my 'sync' app is glitching or something. But the upvotes I received make me inclined to think I'm not the only one who had that specific chain disappear all of the sudden.
Edit: K so they were deleted as suspected. But why? While some people disagreed with each other, it was a civil discussion with the intention of providing a solution to a real issue. Very concerning such a thing would get deleted at all.

Why spoiler does not work on my lemmy client hmm
!Spoiler test !<
2*4
1It seems as though everyone one Lemmy is even more retarded than reddit.
-3Indigenous land is a tough one. If you stick with that, Israel is just taking their land back, and right wing European politicians have the moral high ground.
-32Israel is just taking their land back
How on earth did you get to that conclusion
45Yasser Arafat used to use a similar argument. It's a bad one regardless of who uses it, I think.
7I'm not saying I really agree with the position, but I'll explain what I think they meant for you. It was Jewish 'holy land' well before it was Christian or Islamic holy land seeing as Christianity and Islam weren't even made up until many hundreds of years later.

There were people there before the Israelites. Their own holy book (and the Christian Bible!) literally talks about the conquest lol
18With that same logic, the American settlers are just "second wave native Americans". Of course one can argue that Jews always lived at the area of Palestine/Israel, but currently Israel is the aggressor, even if the actions of Hamas are very immoral.
16Saying Hamas is immoral is an isreali propaganda win. Hamas are freedom fighters and isreal have been commiting atrocities fo the palistinians for more than half a century. Do you think palistinians don't have the right to fight for freedom ? Read about the history of any colonized nation. The colonizer always called the native freedom fighters as terrorists/ committing barbaric act towards the peaceful colonizer that just want to steal the land and resources and casually commit genocide when the native insurge after the colonizers commit yet another heinous act towards them. Read the history of colonized and see the truth. Fighting for freedom is a right !
8Don't be silly. There were lots of waves of migrants before European settlers of America. They'd be more than the 2nd wave. 😉
