Yeah but when it comes to corporations saying they'll do things, its almost always just whatever garbage will benefit the company at the time, regardless of the fact they likely will never follow through.

I think the lesson is that you should never believe these statements about the future, the only times major corporations can be honest is if they're reporting something that already happened.

I recommend using a YubiKey on your Proton account if you want a strong second factor thats a bit easier to manage than a key file. If you use all or most of Proton's apps, might be worth looking into.

Of course not, they're not mutually exclusive if your opinion on one is not really feeling that strongly. I think if you read about Israeli / Palestinian history, you would most likely side with Palestine (even if you still don't really care).

Yes, or at the very least striking down an unconstitional system: "nor shall any State deprive... ...nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.".

One decision can be bad and another can be good! (Throughout all of our history the SC has made looney decisions [hell, every federal law prohibiting drug use is unconstitutional], and Im not trying to pretend justices are impartial, I just agree with their decision / interpretation.)

previously*, in terms of going to school and getting into college, minorities are at no disadvantage that isn't a result of economic standing. Yes, economic standing that has been decreased by being previously restricted. I think race-based AA is targetting a trait that isnt even a direct factor in getting into college.

I agree if the hypothetical class-based AA law is being abused and allowing poor white kids going to college and no more minorites, that would be a huge step backwards, but I really doubt that would be the case unless the law was ridiculously vague.

If a class-based AA law was passed that was completely indiscrimate towards race, I think that would be much fairer.

Uber shaking in their boots now that they have to pay minimum wage, on top of already having a business model thay actually makes no sense and makes profitabilty impossible.

Thats great! I doubt lemmy has implemented that yet. (At least to the point users can easily interact with it). But doesnt seem too difficult to implement if need be.

Why does it matter if Palestine was an established country beforehand? It was conquered by Britain and France who decided (via antisemetic reasoning ["The Jewish Problem"]) to establish a state for the Jewish population. The entire idea of an immigrant group (Jews) being handed their own country on land that is in no way theirs is a totally different scenario than "people defending their rights to live on their ancestral homeland", as the reasoning to establish Israel is totally justified by its supporters. No one thinks the actions taken by Americans which led to the plight of American Indians was at all justified for any reasons other than greed.

My issue with seeing Israels sitation in the way you desribe is that some people see nothing wrong with, or even see positive aspects in what was a discriminatory, arguably racist action driven by even more racism (antisemitism would be more accurate for the former.
