Thankies have rascism and prejudice against certain groups, just like neo-nazis, they tend to believe a lot of antisemitic bs for example and excuse the rascism of people like Che Guevara when he was in Angola or so many other examples, they just have good PR to hide that racism.
Yes on a financial level it may come out the same, as fisch said but they also said it is less politically toxic to give child benefits than to punish a group in particular for either deciding not to have children or not being able to.
Funny how fascists in the west tend to be on great terms with Putin.
I’d go further and say the seeds of the Roman Republic’s downfall was set during the second Punic war when so much wealth and territory was amassed and it mostly went to the top, follow up when the Gracchi brothers did their failed bid to change things, or the several genocides the republic did, such as the 3rd Punic war or what Julius Caesar did against the Gauls again concentration of wealth of power and eroding of any checks against generals seizing control.
Ok I may be out of the loop, what happened?
The Dinkster seems to think so.
Not really, Semitic peoples is an exonym coming from the name Shem from the bible used to describe many cultures from the fertile cresent and surrounding areas that share similar cultural and languages, this would include Arabic, Aramaic, Hebrew, Berber, Egyptian, Coptic, Phoenician, and Cananite languages at a minimum. In more common terms semeticic and specifically anti-semitism has become associated with Judaism specifically as many large scale antisemitic movements (against Jews specifically) in the second half of the 20th century took place in the middle east in what could be called Semitic countries for cultural similarity. This foes not excuse the current outcomes of the slaughter going on but context will help understand what is going on and why which makes things easier to change, and false facts or propaganda doesn’t help solve that.
Surprise surprise
She is the one called sailor pinhead!
Its easy to understand if you know he is bought and paid for by totalitarian regimes, is a traitor who would rather drag America down then be brought down by his past actions, and is too stupid to hide it and surrounds himself with less competent lackeys to pawn the blame off onto.
Nah but that’s what he wanted, he is the truest form of tech bro, destroy the world, refuse to accept consequences of his actions, weaseled his way out of the situation and managed to, in the wake of unimaginable human suffering, get more power over people and has a god complex tell me this isn’t some or all the characteristics of people like Peter Theil, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, Bill Gates, hell even Tim Cook and Steve Jobs before him. Punishment doesn’t stop this sort of behavior but removing the possibility of someone having that level of control over others is the only way but the richest and most powerful have always sought ways of amassing more power not realizing that that leads to worse off situations for everyone including themselves, Horizon did great encapsulating that trait in Faro, but be it him, the people behind Skynet, the Matrix or whatever other tech dystopia that tech bros seem pathologically unable to not try to make happen in the worst way possible is only the beginning, they seem to forget that even with advanced tech that serves their needs and wants, which won’t help their mental health, the people lower down on the rungs of society have brains, wants and needs, and they have more expertise in all sorts of things than the 1% are except for mass exploitation. This inevitably goes wrong one of a few ways, either everyone dies from the tech, or so many that societal collapse is inevitable not great and even if society survives it can’t functionally reconstitute itself; 2 they win and kill off or supress enough of society that the society becomes less productive and instead of fighting the powerful they flee or don’t participate in wealth generating for the rich were they don’t have to, maybe to rise up again later or the economy of the region just ignores them completely and the government protects themselves from their people more than anything else, or 3rd your revolution with terror campaigns against any and all who can be credibly accused of being part of the former tyrants. In all 3 cases the richer people end up poorer overall because wealth flees or dies in autocracy.
Governments that raise up against a totalitarian regime in anger rarely end up in a peaceful and prosperous place if they succeed, see France, Lybia, Rome, the Soviet Union/Russian Empire, China every time, Japan (under the shogunate), Egypt (Arab spring), Sudan, Somalia, Assyria (7th century BCE between 612 and 609 BCE), and so many more.
But Nixon would be the type to try and bankrupt people, and Agnew could have been hiding around the corner about to run off with Nixon’s jar to hide his involvement. Maybe some fry and be set hyjinx would ensue.
Yes and no, the confederates lost the war but their whitewashing of history has quite a bit of staying power to the point that states like West Virginia and Ohio who had massively supported the Union in the Civil War are now more likely neo confederates and agree with the south take on “the war of northern aggression” which they started by attacking federal forces and raiding federal weapons depots while backing out of the federal government allowing it to pass a law they cite as the reason they backed out of it, rather than it being able to pass because they backed out. Also the war still left separate but equal and racial discrimination on the books and the last chattel slave in the US was freed during world war 2. So what the south (Pro-confederate states) and Americans who swallowed their propaganda learned was that fighting a war without seeding the ground everywhere first with their point of view and taking over things from the inside, like they did under Wilson, arguably the worst US president of the 20th century, and Trump just took that playbook and took it farther than the public was ready for but still pushed and those special interest groups that supported him had the choice to renounce him and be reviled by both major political wings of the US or back him to the hilt while he destroys the US from within, because if you can’t get everything you want at least you can make sure nobody else gets anything either.
I’ve blocked Lemmy.ml a while ago because of their refusal to follow the logic of their own points accepting facts that support their point of view but none other, hell their open anti-semitism and refusal to see certain points of theirs as being wrong in some ways and blocking those who point that out has made me not want to associate with their content. Glad I’m not the only one.
You mean Joanne Kunt Rowling?
Fuck mega corporations who think we shouldn’t own but rent from them when they aren’t providing a service that is needed if they didn’t vacuum up all available resources in that area then rent it out.
Not reading comprehension just poor sentence structure, the way the sentence is written, with no separating comma for example, the statement states that the US is involved actively in both bombing Iran and Gaza. The Oxford comma is useful. If you/the original commenter mean that the fact that US bombs are being used in Gaza means the US is involved in bombing Gaza then you could just as easily say that Iran has actively been attacking Israel since October 7th 2023 since the evidence shows they provided not only some of the attack plans for that terrorist attack for multiple reasons but also provided the rockets training and funding gg for Hamas for that attack. I am not justifying US involvement in the middle east but my pet peeves are double standards, poor logic, and not communicating your point accurately, and that post could potentially be any or all of those.
Is it that or the epiglottis?
