No, it’s a qualitative difference if a member of an oppressed group is bigoted against one of the oppressing group, or the other way around.

Racism against white people isn’t really a thing. It’d have to be an oppressed minority for it to be racism, else it’s just good old bigotry.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Putin seizes control of Nestle operations and factories in Russia
0·2 days agoMan, lemmy sure does seem to love its historical revisionism.
The opposite is true: The USSR tried forming alliances against the Nazis while all western powers signed agreements with the Nazis, with the USSR finally joining in to buy more time to prepare for the coming war.
I read that as “I don’t accept trans peoples gender, but will act like I do if it benefits me or my cause”, is there another interpretation I’m missing?
Small businesses are often worse, since there’s less oversight, more willingness to gamble on ‘risks’, a need for higher margins to stay afloat and generally fewer different interests at stake. The issue is private ownership in itself, not how that private ownership is structured.

Android@lemdro.id•GrapheneOS is ditching AOSP apps and building its own alternativesEnglish
0·13 days agoNo, most of Graphenes features are not implemented in AOSP. There are a lot of CVE patches from Graphene that land in AOSP, but it doesn’t have any of the hardening or sandboxing that makes GrapheneOS what it is.

World News@lemmy.world•Far-right AfD win in Germany is ‘grave moment’ for Europe, politicians warnEnglish
0·13 days agoWrong, all political parties in Germany (except for parts of Linke and BSW) are economically liberal.
It really is your own decision to get offended at people trying to educate you by citing sources.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•California School Bans Kids' E-Bikes, So They Start Parking Them At The Neighbors' HomesEnglish
1·17 days agoafaik, those numbers just don’t tell you a whole lot about the actual power of the motor. A “250W motor” could produce peak power output of 1kW during short bursts, as long as the average power over a longer time is at or below 250W, they’re fully legal.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•California School Bans Kids' E-Bikes, So They Start Parking Them At The Neighbors' HomesEnglish
1·19 days agoNot really, a 250W (average, not peak!) motor can exceed 25km/h easily on flat ground, the only difference to a stronger motor would be the acceleration.
Disabling the electronic limit is the issue.

3·20 days agoIt’s so easy to hide a little switch to toggle “bike legal mode” on many models, in my experience that doesn’t really stop people, sadly.
Love how you can clearly see people still benefitting from Socialism, decades after it’s been abolished.
Google SafetyNet checks, probably.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Germany plans sugar tax that includes sugar free drinksEnglish
2·25 days agoWell, you read wrong. Fructose is a very short chain sugar and is absorbed into the bloodstream a lot faster than “regular” sugar, making it more unhealthy.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the difference between socialism and communism? Is there one? Or are the terms interchangeable?
0·3 months agoWell said, comrade! Even if I don’t think it’ll help this person understand…






Hm, fair point. Individual racism can definitely be a thing, have not considered that. Thanks!
