There, the tourists “violently intimidated one of activists, who is a racialized woman, calling her ‘fascist’, ‘monkey’, telling her to go back to Africa and even threatening to kill her.”
Person of color, but only in a background where it has any significance. So a Chinese person is racialized in France, but not in China, and a German person is racialized in Japan, but not in Germany.
As I hinted at at a recent thread, one of China’s geopolitical principles is the respect for internationally agreed territorial integrity, because their legitimacy to reclaim Taiwan as theirs relies on it. China tolerates Russia’s stunt because they’re allies of necessity, but it forces them into an uncomfortable position.
To a lot of people the US and the EU have often been the devil man that Russia is today
Currently are. The average person of the average Arab country right now probably has a worse opinion of the US than they have of Russia, and for good reason. The post-colonial status of France in plenty of countries in West Africa also make a sizable amount of people there hostile to France, even if the situation is more nuanced. Personally, I’m not a fan of any empire.
The way other countries do it is by considering “gender dysphoria” an illness. This way, you aren’t ill for being trans, but you can absolutely feel sick if you’re trans but cannot transition, so the cure for gender dysphoria is to facilitate medical transitioning.
The idea that the Slovak Prime Minister was shot because of his views in vaccines is ludicrous. The shooter had plenty of views on plenty of different issues, having supported both far right and social liberal parties. Doesn’t look like vaccines were relevant in any way. This is just Taylor Greene sparking unjustified indignation among her base.
Russian’s current military doctrine involves overwhelming its opponent with larger amount of fire over precision. This means that they give preference to dumb munitions (this is, projectiles which trajectory you cannot change once they’ve been fired) over precise munitions, and North Korea is pretty much capable of providing a bunch of the former. Given North Korea’s current economy and the fact that not many countries would be interested in that kind of armament, it would make perfect sense for Russia and North Korea to make that trade. Nothing of this are judgements of value over any country, just facts and analysis.
The Israeli military said Thursday that five soldiers were killed and seven injured in a friendly fire incident in northern Gaza, amid renewed battles in the area against regrouped Hamas militants....
Respecting the sovereignty of all countries. Universally recognized international law, including the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, must be strictly observed. The sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all countries must be effectively upheld.
Russia unilaterally decided that territories that everyone had agreed were Ukrainian were now theirs. Truly agreeing to China’s peace plan would mean returning everything, including Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea. I don’t think anyone here is naive enough to believe this declaration was serious in any way or form.
I frequent c/GreenText and people have that attitude all the time, including when the post is about the most normal shit you would hear from a boring friend.
‘Total outrage’: White House condemns Israeli settlers’ attack on Gaza aid trucks
My comment on it:
It’s taken them over half a year, but Biden has finally discovered that Israel is committing crimes against humanity. Let’s hope they don’t forget about it the second Netanyahu pretends to be a little bit obedient.
Damn, really speedrunning that disappointment, huh
“Look at me displacing almost 2 million people and bombing their homes and cities whole to the ground one by one. It’s not a genocide though, because I haven’t explicitely claimed that my goal is to commit a genocide.”
Hi everyone. I don’t have ADHD, but someone who joined my family some time ago does (we’ll call him T), and is currently going through some trouble which I find quite perplexing....
T would benefit from reaching out for mental/behavioral health assistance above and beyond just seeing a psychologist and psychiatrist. He needs additional supportive services that may be called something like “skills training”.
He has been seeking that help, but it was only after being annoying for years that he got a doctor to agree to prescribing Adderall. Mental health services here are criminally underfunded, and private therapy is also not an option due to his financial situation.
he ought to be able to get custody back
He hasn’t lost anything yet. At some point they’ll hand him a contract to accept or reject a new custody regime, and if he refuses to sign it, it might predictably be taken to the courts.
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but virtually everyone here knows their local healthcare center (centros de día o centros de salud) from which we interact with these institutions. Given that I already mentioned that T isn’t in a good financial situation, someone from here would correctly assume that all medical interventions related to his ADHD have been handled through the public system. Just so that you understand, this is the equivalent of telling someone from the US with problems to pay taxes to get in contact with the IRS.
Just a note, I wouldn’t immediately assume that it’s been the mother of the girls who has been stoking the fire, at least neither T nor his partner have told me anything of the sort. It wouldn’t be impossible for a worker of the school to contact social services upon noticing that the girls were routinely having issues, and someone from there deciding he was the easiest target to take the fall.
Rebecca Joynes allegedly became pregnant after having sex with one of her victims, known as boy B, Manchester Crown Court heard - she denies the allegations against her....
(…) boy B rowed and could not decide on whether to keep the baby or have an abortion.
Boy B claims he tried to end the relationship but did not know how to, called her a “paedo” and told her to find someone her own age but claimed emotional pressure came from Joynes to keep their relationship going.
Just in case someone is uneducated enough to not to understand why grooming is bad, this is what it leads to.
