As always, ACAB.

I’m probably blind, but I can’t find where the police were at fault this time. It said the cops failed to stop the farmers… maybe it’s similar to the Israeli military/settler dynamic?

girlfreddy OP , 12 days ago

The cops failed to stop the farmers. That’s the problem.

Waveform , 12 days ago

I’m not sure anything short of a large, sympathetic militia and/or military intervention was going to help, since the farmers had armed men.

That said, who else but cops would be using rubber bullets? Seems suspicious… maybe the cops didn’t just fail to stop the farmers after all.

Just trying to look at the thing from every angle.

Maybe they shouldn’t be in Iraq. Or Syria. Or Israel.

velox_vulnus , 11 days ago to worldnews in Hindu homes, temples targeted in Bangladesh after Hasina ouster, minority group says

Well, with the BNP winning the next election (and they will), Bangladesh will be joining in with other ultra-orthodox, religious extremist countries. To deface the statue of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, that’s a new low.

RandAlThor OP , 11 days ago to world in Thai court orders dissolution of anti-establishment election winner

They are freaking crazy. This court doesn’t understand “democracy” if they think advocating for a law change is anti-democratic.

Diplomjodler3 , 11 days ago

They understand democracy alright. They just don’t like it. They’re a part of a repressive system that does anything in its power to prevent the will of the Thai people from being enacted.

RandAlThor OP , 11 days ago to world in Thai court orders dissolution of anti-establishment election winner

Not only did they ban it, but they also barred its leaders from running in elections for 10 years: lemmy.ca/post/26497747.

Reuters and AP articles are INCOMPLETE.

No ransom demand? lol

“How much do you think these Russians are worth?”

“Probably nothing - do not press our luck, but see if they offer anything.”

some_guy , 11 days ago to worldnews in Thai court orders dissolution of anti-establishment election winner

Thailand’s Constitutional Court on Wednesday ordered the dissolution of anti-establishment opposition party Move Forward, ruling its campaign to amend a law that protects the monarchy from criticism risked undermining the democratic system.

My partner is a refugee from Thailand. She was imprisoned for criticizing the monarchy online. I don’t know if the Move Forward party is the one she supports or adjacent and I’m not going to wake her to ask (today is her day off and she deserves to sleep in). This law, lèse-majesté, is bullshit.

I’ll feel bad for Portugal and everybody else who actually tried, as the empire continues destroying the planet.

Thanks Portugal! You are a guide and inspiration. We're solar-punking our way outa this jam.
