  • Just saw a DW news update and the former UAP task orce military intelligence guy ( whistleblower), claims that US Gvment : 1. since 1930; 2 bio /organic material 3. reverse engineering

    Also there will be a NASA UAP's investigation rapport coming out soon, will see how it develops.

    But yeah, apart from mathematical probability, interpretation etc about extra terrestial intelligence, everybody is waiting for hard & solid evidence of these claims.

    Anything else will just another unsupported claim or " but somebody said" story. And in this age of misinformation & deepfake video's it won't do much to sway public opinion.

    That said, I'll keep seeing how this turns out ." The truth is out there", said agent Skully.

  • that left wing parties failed to manage the situation in the latest years (inflation, pandemics, etc.)

    I can't say much about Spanish politics. But tbh, I'm not sure how to compare. But the pandemic and the inflation are world phenomena. Not saying they couldn't have been better managed in Spain ( or elsewhere), but here they say the same about our Gvement and they were right- centre.

  • study on how Murdoch's empire has shifted global politics

    Good point.

    There have been many media influence studies, and their results are alarming. Though not necessarily about Murdoch's influence, afaik. But Murdoch though very powerfull, is one of the many, don't forget Axel Springer, Berlusconi, Orban etc.

  • they could to kill off the socialist left everywhere in Europe?

    Yeah, if you put it that way, seems logical. You mean during Franco, Mussolini & Hitler?

    But, after the WW 2 it was mainly Stalin that purged the Socio-democrats in (Eastern) Europe. In US there was a purge though.

    And in the 60/70's there was a major resurgence of socialist political parties in Europe, afaik. I think that the old political dynamics ideals and politics have changed quite a lot. To me, you have power mongering people, oligarchs or influencers on both side of the political spectrum. I therefore don't take their political ideologies as a grand determination for their character, unless they are extremist ofc. Many polticians also often switch sides depending on the outcome, opportunistic .

    I prefer to focus on if and how the power is (ab)used in real life. If the poltician is working for the will & good for the people, or for his own wallet and corruption.

  • where have i heard this super nifty phrase before???

    Exactly, this. It's very worrying

  • in my [tests]

    Tnx for the tip.
    I haven't tried it via the website. Mainly using Jerboa lately. I thought it could be a community thing, but I'm no expert though. Just tried to find the modification button, but it wasn't there (now).

    Update: In another layout/ page I found the mod button and managed to change the title!

  • So I am not giving that clickbait title a view. Anyone have a summary? What is new here?

    Here is the abstract in nature

    Spoiler alert: "However, unexpectedly, cracks were also observed to heal by a process that can be described as crack flank cold welding (etc..)".

  • Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no

    Well, it's a bit of clickbait headline imo.

    I tried to cut of the last bit. But it wouldn't let me make a post without the original title, unfortunately.

  • LOL whatanoutism.

    I wish you knew what whataboutism is. It's literally saying China is exploitative. That's whataboutism. The reality of the last 600 years is that white people

    Yeah whatever, you are not staying on topic. And many things happened in the world, somewhere sometimes. We are talking about 2023, not 1423.

    Also your comments are racist and not factual.

    Added: FYI: those concerns I quoted, were raised by Juan Carlos Montenegro, the director of YLB, Bolivia.

  • Oh my fucking god. The comment is about being exploited and the thing you jumo

    What is a jumo?

    Also please stay on topic. No "whatanoutism" , as mentioned in the community guidelines.

  • Great quote. Unfortunately, we humans are guilty of this . We literally consume the very earth we live on.

  • Hopefully the don't end up getting exploited for it

    So we hope.

    Though there are some concerns for example with an increasing Chinese trade deficit & ( economic) dependency. Also, quoting:

    " Other critics say that Chinese operations in Latin America’s mining belt have been environmentally damaging and disrespectful of indigenous concerns. The Collective on Chinese Financing and Investments, Human Rights and the Environment looked at 26 mining, infrastructure, and energy projects in Latin America. It concluded that every single one of them had contributed amply to deforestation and water pollution and human rights violations against local and indigenous communities."

  • my ears are alight'.

    Haha.. my ears could be better though. I always need to check the lyrics, or I end up making stuff up.

  • the same Israelites as in the Desmond Dekker song?

    Needed to checkout the song, I suppose you mean " Israelites "?
    I saw it was by Rastafarian singers. So there's definitely a connection.

    Whether they are the same people is an important question; they seem to consider themselves part of the 12 tribes it seems.

  • Horrible considering that " Brazil recorded more than eight rapes per hour on average in 2022", according to the headlines of some sources like .

    Good that the violence and murders are lower though.

    Add! news18 ,not the most reliable source.https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/news18/.. Status: questionable source.

  • Pointers:

    The Hebrew Israelites, as the spiritual community’s members are commonly known, first made their way to Israel from the United States in the 1960s. While members do not consider themselves Jewish, they claim an ancestral connection to Israel.

    The Hebrew Israelites believe they are descendants of the biblical tribes of Israel who, after the Roman conquest in 70 A.D., fled down the Nile and west into the African interior and were ultimately taken as slaves to North America centuries later.

    They observe an interpretation of biblical laws formulated by their late founder that includes strict veganism, abstention from tobacco and hard alcohol, fasting on the Sabbath, polygamy, and a ban on wearing synthetic fabrics.

    In 2015, about 130 of them without documentation submitted requests for residency rights, claiming that authorities had reneged on earlier promises to legalize their status.

    The Interior Ministry rejected the requests in 2021 and issued deportation orders to 49 people. Four left the country, while the remaining 45 appealed. The rest remain in legal limbo.

    Ed. Corrected. 2nd Par. was duplicate, is now replaced.

  • Ukraine is at war right now because they ousted a literal puppet government from Russia. One can see how they might be a bit testy about “leftists” - by which you certainly mean actual communists.

    Ehm ..you saying this to me or the other guy? Cause in an earlier comment I said something similar like you, but the other guy didn't like my response.

  • Dude just stop your propaganda. What is even a " rightist"? Half of Europe is right leaning.

    Ah, you didn't like what I said? I thought it was funny, as you like talking about echo-chambers so much;)

    Still, you never gave me an answer.

  • an echo chamber where leftists have no voice.

    Maybe the echo you're hearing is that of your own voice, and you're imagining you're in an echo-Chamber?

    Dude just stop your propaganda. What is even a " leftist"? Half of Europe is left leaning.

  • EDIT: Apologies, I forgot we are not allowed to bring up anything negative about Ukraine.

    Dude be straight and get real. This isn't about you apologising, nor is it about the EU or Ukraine. It's about you saying that Ukraine isn't democratic while they are in a war?!

    The whole issue of an EU full membership isn't an issue now, becasue all the obvious reasons. Also, like it's been indicated 1000 times, the EU needs some restructuring first. So there is that.
