I think you might be defending a guy purposefully obfuscating the issue. Yes, my point is obvious and mocking, that's generally how sarcasm works.

The American Civil war began with a Confederate attack on Fort Sumter. At the same time it was never established that you can opt out of the US, that's generally not how countries work.

The Confederacy would not have happened if it wasn't for fears of abolishing slavery.

Lincoln's election provoked South Carolina's legislature to call a state convention to consider secession. South Carolina had done more than any other state to advance the notion that a state had the right to nullify federal laws and even secede. On December 20, 1860, the convention unanimously voted to secede and adopted a secession declaration. It argued for states' rights for slave owners but complained about states' rights in the North in the form of resistance to the federal Fugitive Slave Act, claiming that Northern states were not fulfilling their obligations to assist in the return of fugitive slaves.

-Wikipedia

It was "states rights for me but not for thee".

Why were the slave-owning states the only ones "rising concerns" around "federalism"? A curious coincidence indeed

Lemmy skin 😂. I'm using Alexandrite

In my skin it even says tap for article. You can read it without leaving lemmy

The American Civil War was fought over slavery, not independence in terms of foreign policy.

That's "I Love Amy", isn't it?

I don't care. I watched an interview with him and his foreign policy takes were so horrid he would be laughed out of the room if he said something like this in my country. Guess some people in the UK don't really give a crap about Ukraine.

I'm not from the UK but when I last watched something with Corbyn he was shilling for Russia, how is that not an absolute deal-breaker?

Edit: I was completely right and got downvoted for it. He wanted to stop arms to Ukraine. He sucks and can go and die in a volcano. No left-wing politicians in Poland are like this when it comes to Russia, why are western lefties so brain-dead and conciliatory to this horrible regime? Telling Ukraine to roll over and give up its land. Fuck you tankie POS.

Who is attacking libraries and where? Did the first person just make that up? IDK

I'll just use Firefox mobile with uBlock Origin then, literally anything is better than ads

Too bad this site is too niche to have it's own vore_irl

Why is a smaller version of the picture superimposed onto a larger, blurry version?

Duder here defending a literal islamofascist monarchy that kills gay people and journalists, and an authoritarian one party state that uses Han ethnonationalism to replace native populations they conquered and puts minorities into concentration camps Edit: you can't even spell echo right lol

It's a weapon like any other. Maybe you're iffy on the name, but suicide drones are just another way to attack specific targets, like missiles but far more precise. What is evil about having a remotely controlled aircraft hit an enemy position as opposed to artillery, bombs or gunfire hitting enemy position?

That's a bit different, as in magnitudes more stupid (if true)

Ideally you would want laws to reflect morality. If drugs became legal, monero would no longer be useful for buying them, if that's what you're talking about.

You have no idea what that phrase means.

The "immutable" I'm talking about here is not in the sense of "immutable OS", but rather immutable like punched cards. You literally needed to punch another set of cards if your program contained a bug. You need to create another smart contract to replace your buggy program. Paying gas fees for it.

umber of crypto services (including Monero) that offer a middleman type service to allow you to spend XMR and have a business get fiat.

So you buy Monero with fiat, just to convert that Monero to fiat again, so the vendor can receive fiat? What for?
