YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Every day until the Pandemic. My republican friends now work in a different office than I do. It's not hard to see the policies and politicians they vote for though, and I can read the handwritten signs in their yards explicitly calling me an idiot, moron, or traitor for having different views than they do. (I see those every day BTW.)
I'm just looking at what I've spent the past several months witnessing via news reporting and video clips. I'm not debating what the dictionary says about it. (And in any case, dictionaries reflect usage not prescribe it.)
Cool, good for you (seriously). Do you honestly think they'll say they're against the freedom of the individual, or is it that you think they're against it? Not saying you're right or wrong, just asking if you're describing what you think they'll say, their own beliefs or the beliefs/consequences of their party. It's an important distinction, especially when trying to engage in dialogue with them.
Maybe I don't follow enough news outside of Israel, but I do read quite a bit and there wasn't anything about Zionism. Could you maybe link to one or two sources?
I'm actually not debating at all, right now I'm trying to understand you, and I'm having some difficulties. My best guess is, you seem to have issues against the Israeli army and government (me too, btw), and somehow decided that's Zionism. Zionism is more than a century old, and there are plenty of people who call themselves Zionists, yet don't support all the IDF and the Israeli government did during the past few months (you're talking to one right now, and Biden is another example). Do you think these people are wrong in what their opinions are? That they're lying? That they're not using the correct word, even though that's the same usage as in the dictionary?
