Why is Dale Earnhardt so frequently used in memes like this? Is it for some inscrutable Internet Reason, or is he actually a pretty pro-worker guy?

Dale was at least known to be a pretty stand up guy. Removed a confederate sticker off his truck after a black friend of his told him it was hurtful.

Oh yeah? Good for him, then!

Is this how we win over the Trump crowd? Attributing various philosophy quotes to Dale Earnhard. Cuz if so, I would love it. We can make bumper stickers and everything.

Okay, so can someone please give me an unbiased truth of who's the good guy and who's the bad guy between Israel and palestine? Every bit of news and meme and comment I see has opposing perspectives. What is the truth here?

[–] Grayox@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago

Its all about the power dynamics, Israel has all the power and can end the conflict at anytime and seek peace. They are also an ethnostate where nonjews are second class citizens. There needs to be a 2 state solution where Palestinians have independence and freedom from the yok of the Israelis or a 1 state solution where both sides have equal political liberties. The Hamas attack happened because of the stranglehold Israel has over the Palestinian people and the Israeli response was to strangle even harder. I dont support Hamas, but Israel has actively supported them by refusing to allow Palestinians the agency to be their own state and continueing to steal their land in the West Bank with Illegal Settlements. Israel has murdered a magnitude more Palestinians than than Hamas killed on their attack. Israel had also been treating Palestinians horribly for decades before this attack and its only gotten worse.

The vast majority of Israelies and Palestinians are good people just trying to live their lives.

The leadership of both are the bad guys.

Thank you for explaining. This is a logical explanation and I will accept this one.
