    Legit. Supporting genocide kinda invalidates your other points.

    Let’s flip that around. If you support genocide right here at home because you were concerned about genocide abroad, that kinda invalidates your other points.

    I dunno maybe some folks can’t have more than one thought in their head at a time.

    Edit: I see there are at least a few people who think it’s perfectly ok to usher in a new era of trans genocide in America so they can loudly proclaim their Very Important concern about Palestinian genocide. I’m glad you feel strongly about that issue, as you should. I’m just not too keen on it coming at the cost of many trans live right here when you really could have been concerned about both at the same time.

    Has Lemmy just been completely flooded with CCP apologists now?

    RedNote ToS includes provisions that require you to post “correct views on history, nationality, state, or culture”.

    I guess if you believe Taiwan should be “returned” to the mainland, Uhghurs deserve to be “re-educated” and enslaved, and that China is the natural and rightful pre-eminant global power… you’re gonna be fine.

    I see you also have never worked for a “non” profit. (this is a joke ha ha)

    Being registered as a nonprofit is about tax consequences. That’s all being a 501* means - you can still make money, you just can’t directly take it out either for yourself or shareholders. It’s just classifying profits differently. Technically, in fact, revenue - expenses = profit regardless of how it’s classified or what you end up doing with the excess money.

    So… many nonprofits exist to pay certain special people very high salaries under the guise of “doing good” and “having impact”.

    Yes I’m being a little obtuse about the word for sheets and geegles. But it’s to make a simple point: Almost all nonprofits exploit their workers by under-paying them in the name of “the cause”. Being a nonprofit and not paying shareholders or a private owner the excess money resulting from revenue-expenses (ie profit) should not exempt an entity from paying it’s workers fairly.

    By using words like “revenue” and “impact” instead of “profit”. It’s magic!

    For example: “We expect everyone to accept a paltry, below-market wage to better support our mission so we can pay our executive director a ludicrously high salary and ensure our board gets regular fancy dinners have greater impact”
