You started this saying that most countries had been FOUNDED on genocides. Stop twisting yourself up in knots to insist that it's very normal that a nation has had an uninterrupted body of government after they either completely or partially eradicated the native population.
Ok? Those are the ones we were talking about on this map, youre moving the goalposts from "every" to "yeah the whole international community" which was the point to begin with. These countries get on their high horse when they have an exceptionally genocidal history.
South African apartheid was a Dutch colonial project. There's been no genocide in China and the one in Korea was perpetrated by the US.
Also, what part of genocide do you think is about being civilized...?
Either you have the shittiest reading comprehension or you're deliberately misrepresenting the argument to twist it into such a comical interpretation. You're the one that said "every country" and proceeded to link to a NATOpedia page that fails to list a whole bunch of European/US genocides and even then is short, oh, about 96% of countries on earth.
Despite numerous instances of racial discrimination in many Latin American countries (most often at the hands of CIA backed organizations like Pinochet's government or the Brazilian junta) the fact is that none of these countries were founded on a war in favor of maintaining slavery and expanding into indigenous lands. In fact, most were founded by the descendants of indigenous peoples casting off the their colonial masters.
To say that every country has been founded via genocide is to imply this is just a normal, unavoidable thing, which is genocide apologia. I wish westerners would stop whitewashing their Nazi ass societies like smearing the rest of us is a good alternative to doing something about the legacy of violence you were raised by.
Not really tho. Some instances talk a big game about their cOnCeRnS when defederating from the explicitly leftist instances but then let fascists of every ilk say the wildest shit as long as it's directed to whomever is the villain of the month for libs.
Spouting blatantly ecofascist rhetoric should have had him banned and his comments removed. Instead the community he modded is still up and still posting ecofascist shit with zero pushback from admins.
I don't think that's fair, that's a child. Children can get infatuated with people and they don't have the experience or the frame of reference to measure the consequences.
Yeah, just buy yourself a dvd/blu-ray player just to rip it, wait for the disk to arrive, connect it to your computer and set aside the time to rip it (if you even know how).
Such a reasonable alternative to setting up radarr one time and watching the movie immediately. Can't have a digital storefront where I get to own my digital copy.
Nah dude if you stay an early adopter you can hop onto whatever platform is a fuckin desert before they enshittify it the minute it starts getting a community
Oh my, they have burger patties in the store? Wagyu beef and USDA Choice ribeye sellers must be shaking in their boots. Run and tell Tyson, if they subsidize lab grown meat nobody will buy a single chicken breast again now that there's the option to buy a vegan burger for the same price a regular burger used to cost!
Jfc are you 9? They attempt to ban prospective competition, it doesn't need to actually have significant market cap. The point is to strangle stuff in the cradle.
This is the most expensive, supposedly most advanced stealth fighter jet in the history of the world and it took a budget of trillions of dollars to develop. It's a big deal that a jet that costs about a hundred million to get and needs expensive mainteinance for every hour of use could feasibly be destroyed by a weapon that costs tens of thousands of dollars.
trying to ban the competition is just business as usual in the US, that's ridiculously far from lab grown meat being a viable alternative.
Again, you can make fine burger meat with that process, anything else is fucking shit at the moment. It probably will get better eventually, but who knows how long it'll be and there's other sources of protein readily available already that don't entail giving enormous subsidies to yet another fucking corporation.
