White racists only for the new and improved Murica!

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

remember the afrikaans he imported over, they were abandoned as soon as they landed on us soil.

Im pretty certain that the civil rights act prevents them from only offering it to white people, as coincidentally the 1960s was when our racist and eugenics based immigration system from the early twentieth century was finally overturned

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

They don't only offer it to white people, they offer it to people who fall under a specific combination of criteria that happens to coincidentally exclude all but white people.

You think legislation is going to stop them? It hasn’t yet. Buckle up

It is cute that some people still think the US is a nation of laws!

Pretty sure that program is no longer in place after Musk got shafted.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Oh but it is. As is all the other things that benefit Musk. Because his departure is theater. There's a reason none of his contracts have been canceled. There's a reason he just got a huge fat new contract a few weeks ago.

This also has a paywall 🙃

Then there is your answer:

You see the whole article, others don't. Publishers sometimes decide by your IP, your location etc. if you are allowed to read it freely (also putting rate limits up, so if enough people in your vicinity already saw it you will hit the paywall reasoning that you are already interested and more willing to pay). Or they simply put up the paywall later based on how popular an article is.

Or in short: a lot of new links have paywalls because the people posting something didn't even know there was one.

PS: many people regularly clicking news from all over the world also often have addons, plugins and filters running that circumvent a lot of those paywalls automatically, so we sometimes tend to forget about them...

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Fair enough.

[-] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I believe that saying you are explicitly providing a way to get around a paywall is technically against the rules of this community or instance because the mods/admins don't want to be taken down for copyright stuff

However, if the above article doesn't seem to be loading correctly for you for some mysterious reason (e.g. who knows, perhaps there's some networking problem or a server outage somewhere), then it's perfectly fine for me to offer you an archive mirror to help you workaround this purely technical issue - https://archive.is/s0EUX

Weird since they were only focused on taking white farm owners land. So when did diversity become part of the conversation?

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

White farm owners who's families y'know, showed up, killed the natives, and took the land for themselves.

[-] salty_chief@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

So early 1900’s the land was stolen. Then farmers produced product for locals and possible exports. Then said okay we are taking your land without compensation because your great grand parents stole this land?

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

So I'm curious about something. At what point is something that is stolen become not stolen?

[-] salty_chief@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Crime has existed for as long as man has walked earth. Some things are stolen and never get returned. This is a strange concept. Due to early 1900s your great ancestors stealing land. We are stealing the land back from you without giving you compensation.

They are doing the exact action that happened over 100 years ago. So nothing was learned?

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Ok, but that didn't answer my question. I'm thinking of going on a crime spree and stealing a bunch of things. When is it no longer considered stolen?

[-] salty_chief@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Until the government steals it back apparently.
