  • Probably just cultural hegemony. American liberals see Israelis as "white" so they'll back them to the hilt. Christian fascists see them as ushering in the end times. No president wants to be the one that lost that foothold in the ME. Probably a lot of people in power directly benefit from bribery or are at risk of losing a lot via blackmail. Like Bill Clinton was.

  • OpenMediaVault (OMV) is a Debian server

    Maybe it's because I'm old but these words combined together depress me. Why is NAS software an operating system?

    The last time I tried to install this it complained that it couldn't be installed on an OS that had a GUI. What a joke.

  • Why have over 800 military bases around the world?

  • Really? Do you have an example of this?

  • The article begins with the headline, which is all most people read. The point here is that it omits the perpetrator. If it was Russia it would be front and centre stated. This lying by omission has become a standard trope for western legacy media.

  • This one hit hard.

    I know it shouldn't, far worse has and is going on. It's strange the way in the midst of a genocide, some of the individual stories stick out.

  • Julius Ceasar wasn't so bad. Parenti's book The Assassination of Julius Caesar: A People's History of Ancient Rome is an interesting read, looking at his assassination as a reaction from the ruling class who felt threatened by his reformist policies that benefited the lower classes.

    In general though we do seem to value the lives and experiences of people in even recent history as lesser. I don't know why, it's a good question.

  • The USA is a semi-autonomous Israeli military base and state.

  • warning Iran and its allies against any "further escalation" of the conflict.

    They didn't mention "Israel" once the scumbags.

  • simply release the receipts

    To whom? The only people who need to see them are serial liars.

  • The world’s democracies have almost unanimously condemned the results of Venezuela’s presidential election

    Bullshit.

  • I have an x1 Gen7 and it's great. EXCEPT for the battery life which is fucking awful. Maybe 4 hours if you're lucky. It was originally advertised as having 18 hours.

  • Coffee machines. Every one I've gotten for years now ends up leaking water. Tried a load of brands.

  • I'll always have fond memories of it. I learned a lot back in the day and swore by it.

  • Also also, a horrible despot and mass murderer.

    This is just western propaganda.

  • Thomas Sankara, revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso, jamming on his guitar, 1980s.

    Having just carried out literacy campaigns across the country and vaccinated 2.5 million children free of charge... carrying out greening projects to curb the growing desertification in the Sahel, advocating women's liberation and freedom and general improvements of women's social status, alongside the nationalisation of land and mineral resources... then he played his stratocaster as he often did with his jazz band.

    Sorry but you'll never be this cool.

  • Why don't the people of Hex Bear get new jokes? They were worn out already on reddit after the first couple of years.
