arymandias,

Core memory resurfaced from the playground near my late grandma’s house.

arymandias,

Ben-Gvir: It’s time for a true solution to Gaza.

Biden:

arymandias,

Sounds like China wanted it more.

China has surpassed the West in EV adoption and electrification overall, and we are here eating Play-Doh in our Cybertrucks.

Lyndon Johnson post presidency with longer hair during an interview in August 1972

arymandias,

Having read the Caro books, if there ever was a president with big-dick energy it was LBJ.

arymandias,

He said there was overwhelming support in part because they lost control of the narrative on Israel, the only addition to the headline needed is to add the word:

… ban partially intended to ….

If Romney is so afraid of people loosing track of the “realities” on the ground maybe they should consider banning cable news next.

arymandias, (edited )

What a hill to die on. They banned Russia; it would have been such an easy and consistent decision to ban Israel too, especially when they started deliberately starving Palestinian civilians. Can’t wait for the PR response the moment this Genocide becomes officially recognized, “wir haben es nicht gewusst“ 2.0

arymandias,

Now don’t criticize Biden, don’t you know he is literally running against Hitler.

(Yes I know Trump is worse than Biden, and no I don’t advocate for not voting)

arymandias,

It’s so interesting how the mood around this conflict can switch so drastically, 6 months ago discussion was mostly ended with the mantras “Israel has the right to defend itself” or simply “it’s complicated” and now memes directly calling for the boycott of Israel are getting massive upvotes.

arymandias,

6 months ago I remember feeling the need to respond to so many terrible takes on the major news communities, plus a massive frustration with the discourse in general. This has completely changed, either I’ve become more pro Israel (which I highly doubt) or pro-Israeli voices have become significantly less present in these communities.

What also helps is that the German instance has had trouble lately and is less active, they seem to have quite some trouble accepting the reality that is Israel.

arymandias,

Governments are taking a lot longer, or rather some haven’t changed effective policy at all, looking at Germany, USA, and UK among others.

Of course the exact time of the mood switch is not really relevant, but I did have discussions on here with people trying to rules lawyer the ICJ judgement 3 months ago. Funnily enough their account has gone silent since.

arymandias,

A party is a party, I’ve said way worse cringe under the influence of alcohol, especially if I was flirting with someone (which it sounds like she is).

arymandias,

Reading the Wikipedia it seems quite unlikely, but then again maybe it’s also written by a bot.

Without US support Israel would cease to exist within a year, so the US can do whatever it pleases. Second, the investigation does not need to be performed by a military but can also be done by neutral observers.

arymandias,

This is gonna be such a bad movie, walk and talks about algorithms that make no sense at all, and every time a woman speaks she is mansplained to dust for the audacity to dare to talk to a man.

arymandias,

I once had a lecture from him and he is a great orator. Sadly turned out he did some shit with female students.

arymandias, (edited )

I’m not a fan of American foreign policy at all, but following the European news lately I don’t know if our governments can be trusted without the US providing security.

I fear that the moment European nations need to be serious about their own defense they become way less trustful of their neighbors, creating all the incentives for an arms race. Especially with the current crop of nationalist politicians it’s not hard to imagine a serious cool down in the relationship between a France and a Germany lead by Le Pen and the AFD (in a coalition government or not). In such a world it’s suddenly way less pleasant to be a smaller nation that can not seriously compete with Germany or France.

I really hope I’m wrong and that we truly learned the lesson from the second word war, but I think not needing to provide our own security plays at least a role in the relative peace within the EU member states.

arymandias,

To vote for the yellow line, use a brick as a ballot and [redacted] as the ballot box.

Although in practice a general strike would be most effective, it’s just very hard to organize and reach critical mass.

arymandias,

I remember when the Guardian was the good newspaper that proudly published the Wikileaks documents, sad to see them turn into the Terf Stasi.

France urged to repay billions of dollars to Haiti for independence ‘ransom’ (www.theguardian.com)

France should repay billions of dollars to Haiti to cover a debt formerly enslaved people were forced to pay in return for recognising the island’s independence, according to a coalition of civil society groups that is launching a new push for reparations....

arymandias, (edited )

One option is to put a reverse tariff on Haiti, this way you stimulate their export economy regardless who is in charge. In general an economically stable and growing country also tends to be more politically stable.

Edit: a more realistic scenario is that France gives a bunch of money with the condition it is spend on French weapons or other French export products. So in actuality a hidden subsidy for the French economy, this is also how Germany ‘compensated’ for the holocaust to Israel.

arymandias,

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck; it is not a duck.

arymandias,

Look at the results: one of the lowest retirement ages is Europe, universal healthcare, very progressive tax system. Maybe if Americans disconnected Joe Manchin from the electrical grid and made Washington DC a no go zone once in a while they would actually get something done.

Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.

arymandias,

Just like a hammer, political protest is a tool. Using a hammer to smash a nail in a wall: good. Using a hammer to smash someones brain in: bad.

arymandias,

Biden is creating lots of blue-collar jobs at the crocodile-tear factory.
