  • I remember that story too, it's horrible, but there is a good reason an administration which plans to fight police and army corruption would condemn an event where nearly a thousand students were killed. I don't think they plan to leave small communities and students behind, or else why go build all of these vocational schools?

  • I think if the foreign affairs ministry was contaminated just to make an errant statement, we would at least see a backlash within the Swiss government. There is no evidence of this.

  • Yes and the US assets and oil interests in the region are toast if things get much hotter. Interpreting the Iranians' move to delegitimize the US on a historic scale as weakness is just another example of the sociopathy and arrogance which runs through the imperialist power structure

  • God bless her, but your grandma isn't a significant European financial power or a major global south semi-colony like Brazil or China.

    The US is frantic to maintain control over Europe and delegitimize its rivals, if the US could wave a magic wand, every rival countey would belong to the level of Russia and Venezuela, legally barred from accessing the UN for fear of arrest. Switzerland acknowledging the diplomatic weight of China and Brazil is very significant.

  • Hah, coward. You try to start a fight with me half asleep and you still lose.

  • I easily got to 500 Lemmy posts in a month before and I was just chatting and sharing what I like. The reality is some people disagree with you. Such as Arab American voters. Calling them bots won't bring them back.

  • She is literally a rebrand of Biden, would you call what is happening in Palestine and Lebanon ethnic cleansing? I don't feel like debating nonexistent changes to the same political platform of lebensraum

  • Not really. This is a result of people "forking" Reddit due to a real fork being dumb and impossible. Everyone brought the same site culture with them. Mastodon is cleanly divided between Eugene's hellmouth of Twitter liberals and evil anime libertarians who should all be legally executed for their very real crimes. That wasn't inevitable. This place seems tailor made for people with a functioning honor system. Internet points are an abomination. People need to inquire more seriously into what is grinding the gears with social media. Techno-libertarian idealism outlived its usefulness long ago. I certainly don't have any better solutions than ActivityPub and private frontends.

  • The current editor of The Atlantic was a Zionist prison guard during the First Intifada. But don't worry, he says his friends describe him as very leftist.

  • The technical term is π•Œπ•Šπ• π•Ÿπ•šπ•’π•Ÿ just so you know
