A Iraqi refugee burns the quran in Sweden and Iraq expells the Swedish ambassador?! Failed state. I would like to see more solidarity from the other EU countries.
This is not a good news but it's also not so difficult to understand the viewpoint of some Ukrainians that can't stand any longer the language of the invader, that bombs them everynight, that destroyed entire cities, raped women and children, kidnapped them, created an ecocide at the former dam, and the list goes on and on and on.. Russian was widely spoken in Kyiv before the war, this is a direct consequence of all these horrors.
I eat meat myself. But I reduced a lot my consumption, most people in Western countries consume far too much, even for their own health. We should consume less and better, chosing meat from sustainable farming instead of cheap meat from pastures where there should be the Amazon..
Well, if everyone thinks like that nobody does anything ever.. even the richest of the rich can say "it's not because of me", because it really isn't. This is a man made disaster, but not by any single man. Some contribute more, others less, but the idea that only the rich polute is complete bonkers.
How can you hold a country suffering a brutal invasion on such standards. The "persecuted left" were Kremlin puppets. Zelensky's party is a center-party. This is just spreading the Kremlin talking points.
I upvoted because this message still didn't reach everyone, but I guess it's just that people are in denial.. like, isn't this obvious? And weren't there already dozens of studies proving it?
I'm also not sure why you keep denying a concept accepted by everyone including academia. But to be honest I don't care, this conversation is too silly. Have a good one.
I used to buy that but then I visited Cuba and it's hard to believe those statistics. It's incredibly poor, everyone sees tourists as cash cows and beg them for money, shirts, try to scam them.. it becomes unpleasant very fast outside Varadero, where doctors are working as barmen because that pays so much better with all the tips they get from Canadians.
I came across a university professor while strolling a campus in Havana and we started to chat about the country. By the end he asked me if I had any nice spare t-shirt (I don't know why, but several people asked me for this) and I felt a bit depressed with the situation. And no, I didn't have any spare shirts, I always travel light.
Communism definitely failed there. It's an unequal and corrupt society with obscene leves of poverty. Yes, the American embargo for sure doesn't help, but it's not the main reason for that.
This was a misstep by the EU. No country should legitimize the stupid Argentinian expansionism, especially countries like Portugal, Spain or France, who also have islands that are closer to third countries.
The Falkland were never Argentinian, it makes as much sense to declare them Argentinian as to declare the Canaries Moroccan or Saint Pierre et Miquelon Canadian.
If being close is reason to annex it, than let the wars begin! Because every territory is close to some other territory.
It's not a perfect fit, so if you want to use both Lemmy and Mastodon I strongly advice you to have an account in each.
That said, you can follow Lemmy users or communities on Mastodon, likes made on Mastodon to Lemmy posts equate to upvotes here. If you reply to a comment sent from Mastodon, the Mastodon user will see it. But to fully enjoy both, you need 2 accounts.
I don't have time for this, I'm blocking them all, a few are popping up here. The Fediverse was supposed to be a safe space, safe from this kind of Russian trolls.
