They are reacting to this comic from 'Liberation' newspaper last year about the genocide in Gaza during Ramadan:
The woman in a hijab is slapping the hand of an emaciated Gazan chasing after a rat, presumably to catch and eat it, and saying "Not before sunset"

I italicized something because I believe the west (including France, in this case) does deserve some kind of punishment for their crimes against Palestine. Obviously I don't think countries who had nothing to do with this genocide need be punished, but at this point much of the western world has enabled it either by direct material contribution or by a failure to boycott, divest, or sanction Israel for their crimes.
It's not up to me to decide what that justice is or how it's administered, but I don't think there's any arguing that there shouldn't be some measure of justice for Palestine. Unless you believe Israel has done nothing wrong.....?
This is a fantasy
Yup, that's all we have, because as you alluded to: this is the west's global hegemony, we're just living in it.

Had to go looking, but I found the image this comment is in reaction to.
::: spoiler spoiler
:::
It's a cartoon from "Liberation" newspaper in france, and the caption is "Ramadan in Gaza" (published just after the hunanitarian aid blockade and famine crisis started in Gaza, for which Israel is now being accused as an act of genocide)
The woman in a hijab is slapping the hand of an emaciated Gazan chasing after a rat, presumably to catch and eat it, and saying "Not before sunset"
It's a pretty openly Islamophobic joke about Gazan's starving during the month of Ramadan where muslims traditionally fast from sunrise to sunset.
I don't think it should need to be said, but even orthodox Muslims recognize exceptions to fasting during ramadan for starvation and bodily injury.

I wasn't advocating for anything, I was answering the question about why they were angry with the french.
And what will this justice be?
If it were me, i'd say the west should face international sanction and prosecution in the Hague for all leaders/diplomats accused of willfully collaborating with a genocide. Of course, a western-controlled criminal court would never do such a thing, so I guess all we have is BDS and public protest.

Absolutely not. I'm advocating for justice.

I didn't say it was reasonable, I was only answering the question as to why they were angry with France.
I think what the west deserves for funding a genocidal fascist is entirely up for debate, but that they deserve something is pretty well justified, IMHO

This might be a controversial take, but I don't think racist bigotry is an intelligence thing
The study and measure of intelligence itself is a piece of the rationalization of racism.
We owe a lot of our scientific inheritance to genociders and racists and eugenicists - I wouldn't be quick to assume the MAGA base is just a bunch of dimwitted Americans.

I think it has more to do with Macron and his bedding of right-wing fascists to avoid a left-wing government coalition
That, and their funding of religious ethnostate terrorists...
Edit: i don't get it, is it something I said?
Edit 2: OK, I was wrong about the specific context of the comment, but I'll take partial credit for guessing it had to do with the war in Gaza

People forget about how much it felt like labor and employment were about to be revolutionized for the better back then. It really seemed like employers were finally going to be forced to adapt to better conditions.
Now it feels like that's all being undone. How many companies still have their remote work options? How many people are willing to leave their jobs for something better now?

I'll admit that I was one of the privileged few who were comfortable and secure during the pandemic: i had a job that could be remote without issue and i lived in a city that took precautions seriously
But
- remote employment was a 100% improvement to being stuck in my office and in a toxic environment
- because I was remote, there was no pressure to work extra hours when my projects didn't require it, which meant my work-life balance was much better
- the student loan moratorium helped me and my wife finally save up for a house down-payment and get ahead on our debt
- with the extra financial and work security, I finally reached a healthy weight and was the most fit i had been since college
Now, my weight is back up, my job is much less secure, my finances are strained again, and I feel like our future financial security is in question because the economy is dominated by two or three companies that may come crashing back down if AI turns out to be a bubble
This question is so subjective and incredibly personal, so i question the utility of it. But there's no question for me about how precarious my personal situation feels now vs back in 2020. Back then, our primaries and much of the Campaign revolved around questions that had significant impacts on my life, but this cycle none of what is being discussed in the campaigns have much to do with my personal security. I don't know if my remote job will last, I don't know how long my house (that I bought in 2021 thanks to covid stimulus efforts) will be worth more than my mortgage, I don't know if the items I rely on will continue inflating in cost or not, ect.
Again, I'm incredibly privileged. But democrats have switched focus to what happens if Trump wins, instead of focusing on what happens if they win. Seems like nothing significant is on the table for my family's security, and that doesn't comfort me at all. There's just no hope in this election, all there seems to be is fear.

Like I said, it's incredibly naive to think this problem goes away when Trump does.
archomrade 2d ago • 33%
Like how democrats splintered and fragmented when Biden stepped down?
They'll reform and continue gaining power in lower-level positions until the next election, like they've been doing since 2020
I cannot emphasize how naieve it is to think this problem will go away if all we do is beat trump, or even if he dies or gets incarcerated.

The US has a growing fascism problem
It does not go away with Trump. I wish democrats would address it instead of pointing at Trump like he's an aberration

He then ends up suggesting the reason they don't like Harris is because she's a woman - “Because part of it makes me think – and I’m speaking to men directly – part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”

edit: a working solution is proposed by [@Lifebandit666@feddit.uk](https://feddit.uk/u/Lifebandit666) below: >So you’re trying to get 2 instances of qbt behind the same Gluetun vpn container? >I don’t use Qbt but I certainly have done in the past. Am I correct in remembering that in the gui you can change the port? >If so, maybe what you could do is set up your stack with 1 instance in, go into the GUI and change the port on the service to 8000 or 8081 or whatever. >Map that port in your Gluetun config and leave the default port open for QBT, and add a second instance to the stack with a different name and addresses for the config files. >Restart the stack and have 2 instances. ----- Has anyone run into issues with docker port collisions when trying to run images behind a bridge network (i think I got those terms right?)? I'm trying to run the arr stack behind a VPN container (gluetun for those familiar), and I would really like to duplicate a container image within the stack (e.g. a separate download client for different types of downloads). As soon as I set the network_mode to 'service' or 'container', i lose the ability to set the public/internal port of the service, which means any image that doesn't allow setting ports from an environment variable is stuck with whatever the default port is within the application. Here's an example .yml: ``` services: gluetun: image: qmcgaw/gluetun:latest container_name: gluetun cap_add: - NET_ADMIN environment: - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=mullvad - VPN_TYPE=[redacted] - WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=[redacted] - WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES=[redacted] - SERVER_COUNTRIES=[redacted] ports: - "8080:8080" #qbittorrent - "6881:6881" - "6881:6881/udp" - "9696:9696" # Prowlarr - "7878:7878" # Radar - "8686:8686" # Lidarr - "8989:8989" # Sonarr restart: always qbittorrent: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest container_name: "qbittorrent" network_mode: "service:gluetun" environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=CST/CDT - WEBUI_PORT=8080 volumes: - /docker/appdata/qbittorrent:/config - /media/nas_share/data:/data) ``` Declaring ports in the qbittorrent service raises an error saying you cannot set ports when using the service network mode. Linuxserver.io has a WEBUI_PORT environment variable, but using it without also setting the service ports breaks it ([their documentation says this is due to CSRF issues and port mapping, but then why even include it as a variable?](https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-qbittorrent/#webui_port-variable)) The only workaround i can think of is doing a local build of the image that needs duplication to allow ports to be configured from the e variables, OR run duplicate gluetun containers for each client which seems dumb and not at all worthwhile. Has anyone dealt with this before?
It's educate, AGITATE, organize *edit: putting this at the top so people understand the basis for this:* >You may well ask: “Why direct action? Why sit ins, marches and so forth? Isn’t negotiation a better path?” You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. My citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word “tension.” I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood.
