Oh, i think i see what you mean? Yes, the fact that it does count as an actual ceasefire is a good thing.

Sorry if I'm not understanding, english isn't my first language.

Absolutely not. That's why when i heard the US abstained i had to double check why, and predictably it was because of the length of the ceasefire.

Also, demanding the change of language from 'permanent' ceasefire to 'sustained' ceasefire was scummy and probably also part of the reason why they abstained and let the vote pass.

So the ceasefire is only for two weeks. No wonder the US abstained.

Edit: the ceasefire is for the rest of Ramadan, the rest of Ramadan is about two weeks.

The US wanting to kill, maim and torture civilians once again. Why am i not surprised

Thanks for the recommendation! I've always been more of a book person so the recommendation is highly appreciated.

Thanks, happy to be here :)

I think it's this comment thread. I was very frustrated at the time because of being called tankie because i gave a different viewpoint.

Hey, i agree. And i would say that i was one of those people when i joined lemmy.

I was apolitical because i was clueless but leaned towards liberal only because that was the default political sentiment around me. I hope that makes sense, I'm not quite sure how to describe it. It's like i knew something was very wrong with society but honestly couldn't pinpoint anything.

I left reddit and came to lemmy because i was on the piracy sub and the top mod recommended everyone move to lemmy.

And that's kind of how i found hexbear first, and then lemmygrad. Some people complained about hexbear and i thought let me check out what they're complaining about. I went through a few posts and i was honestly thunderstruck. Here are people that feel exactly the way i feel and can actually explain to me why I'm feeling that way and exactly what's wrong with everything around us.

I won't lie, it did take a lot of reading of posts to shed myself of the default liberal way of looking at things.

So that's my perspective of coming from a liberal way of thinking. You guys do good work. I know i have a long way to go but i just started reading the communist manifesto and one of Noam Chomky's books. And my copy of "The east is still red" is on it's way to me. So you did make a difference, to me at least.

Also @ExotiqueMatter, you might not remember a comment you made to me a few months ago i think, it might not have seemed like much but it sort of made me happy and encouraged lol. Thanks for that.

You know, i never outright said that .world is starting to feel like reddit lite because i thought i was being too harsh. But it truly feels like that more and more.

I don't even post on there anymore and hardly comment there because of the hostility.

This, in my opinion, is the biggest problem. Neoliberalism, unchecked corporate capitialism is the main threat to democracy.

It might sound like hyperbole to some people but i also really feel like it is putting the whole of humanity in danger. With the unchecked plundering of resources around the whole world, and the destruction of ecosystems just for more profits for the ruling class.

I have nothing to add other than saying Fuck Denuvo. It's one of the worst things to happen to the gaming world

lmao he has to be an imperialist shill right? I can't believe that someone would be that clueless, and still be insistent on staying that clueless after being spoonfed multiple public sources

Cool story bro

Then the news is probably not as boring as you claim because it caught your interest enough to read and comment, and reply

Then why are you reading and commenting on this post?

These european countries steal everything else from african countries, so I'm honestly not surprised that they're stealing our food as well.

He was a baby, a baby starved to death because of Israel's genocide.

Let them do it, use the frozen Russian assets. I'm sure Russia knows that they won't be seeing that money again.

Let the western financial system finally fucking collapse.

But Melkath never even mentioned jews. He specifically said Israelis throughout his post. And he pretty clearly compared the Israeli people to nazis, not what you said, which was comparing jewish people to nazis.

It feels like you're doing exactly what the German government is doing, which is equating criticism of Israelis and of Israel to antisemitism.

This is africanews.com where the focus is on Africa. As in South Africa. As in SA.

The title of the article uses SA for South Africa, so I'm sure they have enough respect for their readers to distinguish between Saudi Arabia and South Africa when reading an article from africanews.com
