  • Trump Has Exposed Exploited the Fragility of the Global Dollar System

  • Was it not this so-called Supreme Court that has already granted the president more rights than a king? How is that supposed to be constitutional in a democratic country?

    It seems to me that the constitutional crisis has long since occurred.

    I don't really understand why anyone should appeal to the corrupt judges who are responsible for this. It's a waste of time, because the outcome of all such attempts is already known in advance.

    Or is the plan to buy Thomas & Co. another nice house - or maybe a new boat, or yet another luxurious vacation?

  • Do you have a very good print regional newspaper or are you saying that these protests are not worth real-time coverage?

  • Do you think reddit is immune to the oligarchs? I don't think so at all.

    Edit: What I'm saying is: post here rather than on reddit. There are no current updates in the Lemmy community. And I'm assuming that the discussion is taking place on reddit because everyone is somehow still there. Why is that? Why is everyone still there when it's clear as day that reddit is so rotten that Aaron Swartz would roll over in his grave if he had to witness that.

  • Thousands of demonstrators rallied at hundreds of events on Saturday (...)

    Thousands? Were there just 100 protestors at 100 events? That would be already 10,000...WTF...

    Edit: If this is true (thousands in Portland alone) - and why wouldn't it be - it's a massive understatement by the New York Times...and this is prolly one of the few more or less independent/somewhat objective outlets left. C'mon...

  • You saw the movie and missed that it's a satire? Are you serious?

  • Have you seen Starship Troopers?

  • Presumably due to safety regulations imposed by the city council. Just a guess.

  • Absolutely!

    It's great to see how many people are taking a stand against hatred and intolerance.

  • Well, many Germans also thought at the time that they might be able to get rid of Hitler in the usual way - unfortunately we all know how that turned out.

  • I'm already on my way, but only to a small rally in my German hometown. That's important for us too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all the friends we still have in the US and hope for a lively turnout!

  • Every US citizen who wants to prevent the same thing from happening in the States should go and protest today. Find an event near you and show the fascists that they can expect resistance.

    Best of luck from Europe.

  • Absolutely nothing - on the contrary, they even supply the weapons with which these shameful murders are committed.

    And Trump and his band of criminals are not even alone in this - my home country, Germany, is also aiding and abetting these terrible war crimes.

    I simply cannot understand how a country like Israel, which is actually completely irrelevant on the world stage, not only gets away with genocide, but is even supported by many of those countries that otherwise always play the moralizer.

    The only way I can explain this is that the fascist regime in Israel is taking advantage of the fact that this country is a leader in surveillance and espionage technology. Other than by blackmailing foreign state representatives, I simply cannot explain why so many countries persist in supporting all these terrible atrocities - in democratic countries even against the will of the people and at the massive expense of votes.

    I'm aware that this is conspiracy theory, but I simply can't explain it any other way because it is so incredibly absurd and shameful.

    I mean, Bibi has long been the subject of an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Courts.

    It is of course quite clear that no government official in the USA is interested in this, but the fact that European countries, which recognize this intuition as binding, are also thinking about how Netanyahu could be invited as a state guest without having to arrest him immediately is simply telling. And then also supplying weapons to a war criminal?

    How?

  • There have already been several attempts to adapt the series as a movie or TV series, but unfortunately nothing ever came of it.

    And yes, given the scope, a series would probably be better, but it would certainly require a high budget.
