You only got questions because your original post was inane. On a news item about a country providing homes to their homeless citizens, you asked how a country could do this without being flooded with migrants. You posed it as a gotcha, and demanded we come up with solutions to this problem that you, the most intelligent man in the room, found.

It’s almost like the only solution is to de commodify housing everywhere, globally, and provide everyone shelter because it’s a human right and so clearly works to fix many mental health problems.

It’s almost like C A P I T A L I S M does not inherently provide a good living standard to everyone, and allows the very wealthiest to pit us against each other in a rat race to the bottom. “Decommodification means someone will take your house!” No. It means you’ll always have a place to live and enough housing will be built to support the entire population. It means that billionaires will have to give up their extra homes.

I don’t really know, tbh. But I do know a lot of the stuff the corporate media in the west reports on about NK are verifiably flat out lies. Stuff like “every male citizen is forced to get the same haircut as KJU”. That was a story invented whole cloth by a broadsheet rag in SK, then picked up by western media sources and reported to us as fact.

There is a financial element to this: saying outrageous things about NK leads to tidy profits. Even NK defectors have been caught lying about the place. What’s her face was touring Americas right wing talk shows recently, saying things that either just aren’t true or wildly exaggerated. She’s made a good career of it.

So don’t trust immediately. Verify. Every media source has a bias and recognize that whenever you view one.

Fairy creek was pretty much the last of the old growth forests on Vancouver Island (other than a small amount of parkland). That shit is never coming back, not for 5-10 generations, possibly not for a thousand years. And that’s only if the land is left untouched to recover (which it will not be). I have personally seen the devastation of the island in rural areas. Along the highways the forest is left in tact, but just a couple metres away it is entirely clear cut. They hide it from us because people would start to care if they knew the truth.

The benefit? Large sums of money for a few wealthy individuals. The leader who saw this through retired and is working for the forestry industry now. And the wood from these precious trees? Turned into guitars and other embellishments. An utter waste of a non-renewable resource. They could have logged any second-growth forest for this.

Never forget that it was the BC NDPs that did this — the supposed leftist, environmentalist party. Reformist politicians and the entire parliamentary system needs to be shed. Voting for them has never worked and never will work.

Gain some class consciousness.

Yeah I don’t want to deny the horrific living situation of NK’s citizens, but after some of the outrageous propaganda we’re fed in the west, mostly by SK media groups, I am reluctant to believe anything about that country that is presented in this way.

Yeah, that’s why I took this username.

… Gosh, I’m beginning to think that a US-lead NATO might not be good for global peace and that the US government might be the most reactionary, anti-progressive polity in the modern world. I’m beginning to think that I’ve been fed lies all my life by media manufacturing consent for unjustifiable wars! Operation Desert Storm, Iraq War, WMDs, War on Terror, the Nakba, the second Nakba, the overthrow of the leftist Guatemalan government and subsequent ethnic cleansing of the Mayan people (if you want I can keep going.) It’s almost like it has happened over and over again and Americans allies go along with it every single time because they stand to gain something from! It’s like any military organization made up of these psychopaths will only be used for destabilizing the developing world! It’s like our governments have an interest in keeping the rest of the world destabilized so that they and their supporting billionaires can profit from exploiting the world resources and labor.

(Obligatory ‘Putin is a cunt’ because people on Lemmy lack the capability to think one person can hold both these political opinions at the same time)

I can almost guarantee that NATO will do some tricky “in order to defend NATO countries we must attack Russia first” business.

She did some stripping and she had a blog… am I missing something here? Half the girls I knew in college did that.

Yeah that’s insane. Canada Post isn’t supposed to make money.

See ya

To be clear she wasn’t just sent spiders. This woman had a targeted harassment and stalking campaign conducted against her for months by six people. They went to her house and sent her threatening messages that implied she might be in danger.

X is a private business.

There is one specific breed of dog kept for meat and no one has them as pets. They’re basically cattle.

He’s afraid he’ll be martyred. Don’t forget, Navalny returned to Russia willingly right after releasing a documentary on Putins secret mansion. It was allegedly to put Putin in the awkward position of choosing between keeping an opponent with popular support alive, and killing him and potentially motivating the masses. Locking him away somewhere distant and keeping him there until he’s forgotten about is probably the best way to get rid of him. I’m pretty sure most Russians know that the legal system is a farce.

This happens in the military far too often.

Weird how there’s been 28 of these things and not a single one has accomplished anything.

Yeah. Who will we make fun of if they’re all gone?

That’s the joke. This is literally a problem directly cause by capitalism, and voting will not solve this issue.

But people still think voting is the only way we can improve society.
