Speaker Mike Johnson faces critical decision on Ukraine aid as international pressure grows to act (www.cnn.com)

Speaker Mike Johnson is facing international criticism over his lack of swift action on Ukraine aid, which is ratcheting up pressure to make a critical decision that will not only have massive implications for his rookie speakership but also for Ukraine’s ongoing war effort against Russia....

Glad to see that Republicans keep enabeling Genocide.

Reliably christian of them.

Conservatives will see the cruelty and argue: “Well, this is sad, but it is worth in order to keep Society healthy and pure”.

Its a lie. But admitting that would mean facing the prospect of being evil all along.

So we all have to suffer instead.

Replicans demonstrate a lack of care and concern for children every day.

Unless they can have sex with them that is.

I find the quantification of very emotional topics not very helpfull in the long run:

What counts as “10% better”?

Do you know if the number, should it even exist, stays consistent? Or that you got the “correct one”?

My advice:

Find out what you seek out in a relathionship, what you want to avoid, and then talk about it.

Because “10% better” could just mean the other guy is driving more carefull with the family-car, doesnt chew with an open mouth or shaves more often.

‘They told me we’re all Russians’: fears grow over ‘re-education’ of Ukrainian children (www.theguardian.com)

During the 14 months for which Veronika Vlasenko attended school in Russia, she was regularly told by teachers and fellow students that she would never be able to go home to Ukraine. “Every day they said to me that I would be staying here for ever and would never leave Russia,” she said. “They told me that Ukraine...

Potential Hot Take

Religion is a collective illusion at best and a reason for genocide at worst. So we should do everything to create a society, where people just leave this dangerous liability behind.

A ban will not do it. But continuos reminders of what religion actually is and does, will pave the way for it to die out on its own.

Sarah Wagenknecht is basically a Tankie and quite popular with the right.

Her leaving the left party (“Die Linke”), potentially siphoning votes from the right and causing fragmentation there is a good thing.

Also remember: Wanting to appeal to the left AND the right is just a third-positionist, which just ends up being another flavor of Fascism.

I would not trust her, but I recommend reading further into the matter to get an accurate picture.

Ekybio ,
@Ekybio@lemmy.world avatar

Are you concern-trolling? Because it feels like it.

Third-Positionists claim to be centrist, arguing “bOtH sIdEs hAvE a fAiR pOIIInT”. You cant just genocide “a tiny bit” or being “a little bit racist”, but in giving credit to the rights ideas, you enable them. Its even on wikipedia and is accuratly mentioning the “Fascism on the left” thing.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Position

She is supporting Putin, a fascist dictator and is spreading missinformation on the matter. Google search: “Sarah Wagenknecht on Putin”. I tried it just know and boy there is a lot.

The other point: This article mentions she calls herself a “left-conservative”, which is an oxymoron, and also just regular moron. Or in her case, dishonesty. Because that would be social, but also national, fusing into national-social(ism). Also anti-climate regulation, calling it “blind planless Eco-Activism, costing people money, but actually doing nothing for the climate”. Literal denial of the efforts we make to safe the world. Another very Fascist talking point. Fascist cant defeat the Climate Crisis, because you cant it by being racist and unfuckable, some of the only things they actually do well.

Also: Economic Policies ARE Social Policies. If you are right on them, you are just on the right. The idea that both are separated is naive at best and active malice at worst.

This might be unpopular, but here goes nothing:

With the correct and fitting (and fair) regulations, oversight by the government and accountabilit, this is a correct and more ethical decision.

Stuff costs money. For now. Infrastructure, wages, repairs, fixes, improvements, new features.

All these things dont come free and we only pay nothing DIRECTLY, because we pay in data, attention and privacy violations.

By fixing this issue, the access to all these things can be secured without the plattform falling appart or having to resort to invasive data harvesting. We could even make these practices illegal, because plattforms would not just die then.

And no, the price should not be so high to generate profit for the executives. Thats why regulation is so important.

In the Modern Age we live in, Social Media is at this point akin to an essential service and should therefore be regulated as such: No profit, but stable maintenance and secure access free from monetary interest for everyone equally.

Before anyone comes in with “Religion of Peace” statements: Conservative Christians would do the same if they were in charge. Or in fact any hardliner + religion combo.

The Authoritarin Aspect is more the problem, then religion. But yes Religion is very susceptible to this.

@Ekybio@lemmy.world avatar

Purely economically speaking that is true, but that’s not the only relevant thing here.

Remember it’s the Chinese Government essentially harvesting massive ammounts of data. A price well worth it, if you use it later down the line in propaganda efforts, marketing strategies and “spotting potential dissidents”.

A more apt punishment would be forcing then to delete the data, prevent future harvesting or massively increase the fine to offset potential political gains.

Why doesn't the United Kingdom rejoin the European Union?

Admittedly, I don’t know much about Brexit, but from what I have been exposed to, it seems like a decisively economical and political impairment that made travel and business with the rest of Europe more difficult and costly. Since it is so highly criticized as a terrible move, why doesn’t the UK just rejoin the EU?

Ekybio ,
@Ekybio@lemmy.world avatar

There are a lot of reasons, but I think it boils down to the people in charge do not want the embarrassement of crawling back to the EU.

It would be total ego destruction and that is simply untennable. This is what happens when the right gets enough power to make a change and then has to experience consequences.
