I treat all people with religious beliefs as members of a dormant terrorist cell.

They could be your nice neighbor with whom you can interact normally on a day-to-day basis, but in the end they all have compromised against logic and, in the right conditions, that is a terrible liability.

I collect all the stars since GTA III.

I also play everything on Easy because I have a life.

I still have my reddit account, although with all posts and comments first turned into Fuck spez and the deleted. I tried Lemmy first 2 years ago, but the Italian instance is just a mirror bot farm. I gave lw a chance now and I am hooked.

Show this to Varoufakis.

One can only dream. Joking there is no Resistenza in the USA.

Just like Mussolini.

Good enough. Now tell me where it is made and you can call it perfect.

Meloni, one L.

And Meloni, please gals and guys, never forget Meloni. I know she looks like an ugly Chihuahua, but she bites much more than she barks.

I am suggesting being aware of the problems, of the functions of the institutions and to do something. Other countries could also work to make WHO even better despite the absence of the USA (or thanks to it).

The WHO also has a lot of its budget tied to Melinda and Bill, two American billionaires, 390$B in 2022, so much more than the US as a whole and that is a much bigger problem, if you ask me.

Do we really want global health functioning on this basis, or should we use the shock to rediscuss the assumptions?

"I can hear the echoes of people saying “why should I care about US politics?”"

I am one of those.

Here on Lemmy there is so much US noise, I even started to downvote some posts and comment who are, in the end, just bitching around about a failed government when the problem I see in the US is actually a failed culture.

This post's original message may be a useful one, but not if you are focusing on what US did and should do, but rather what the rest of us can do in spite of the situation created.

I do not vote representatives based on US policy here in Europe. I vote them because of what I expect them to do based on a current situation in light of the lessons history gave us.

The Tesla protests and torching may be useful now, but if we have nothing to replace those people with, even worse alternatives may come to fill the void.

As a EU citizen, my main focus is to build an alternative, not to protest and counteract a foreign dictator.

As per the map you uploaded, USA created a problem: can we do anything about it as non-Americans? No we can't. Let's then assess the situation, inform better the public about the WHOs function, and sit with as many of all the other countries to work to a joint solution.

Giving me news about US "actions" and internal discourse, for everyone outside of the US, is inaction-causing noise at best, propaganda at its worst. What should be communicated is the existence of a void and its possible consequences.

What about China filling the void being a possible consequence for example? Is it a possibility? Is it good or bad? Should we talk to China about it or not?

If I keep thinking about Trump and his henchmen I won't ask myself those questions.

Remember all the narrative about the modern warfare and "surgical operations"?

We should get to the point of being knowledgeable about the WHOs function, current financial support and reasons thereof, and what we can do to support its functions. Focusing on what another country does or does not, even if related to a common resource it's a waste of time at best.

I will repeat it: Greenlanders are very based.

If you are ever in Denmark, spend an hour to visit the Greenland museum, a huge raised middle finger of an exposition reminding everyone of Danish colonialism, placed right in the middle of Copenhagen.

They are not well treated by the Danes either, who only recently recognized them the right for translators in the Danish parliament.

As the museum here in Copenhagen proves, Greenlanders are based.
