Interesting how France suddenly switched to a much more normal and acceptable stance on Palestine (including the statements in Egypt against a proposed ethnic cleansing), wonder what the catalyst was.

Also curious if Germany manages to keep their „saying Palestinians are humans equals antisemitism“ thing going, with even France moving closer to Spain, Ireland and Swedens standpoint. But I have little hope with Merz.

Johny@feddit.org (verse) making the worst of a sunny afternoon by being angry at strangers online.

Ukrainians were/are still fighting to defend themselves from an illegal invasion. But America sees and has always seen Ukraine as a proxy to weaken a geo-strategic rival. NATO was not realistically on the table as long as the conflict in the Donbas was ongoing (it would have immediately triggered art.5) to keep promising NATO instead of working on a more realistic path to peace has probably caused the death of 100000s of Ukrainians. And just as with many other imperial proxies in history, the proxy is left to deal with the fallout while the empire retreats to the metropol and prepares for the next conflict.

What are the chances, I just read this ‚fact‘ today in The Forever War by Joe Haldeman and was already kinda doubtful.

Some protesters against the Stuttgart21 project would probably disagree, as well as German courts.

Not to mention all the excessive violence against the anti genocide protests.

Grussy

Funny how that works when the antidemocratic leader is broadly in line with US foreign policy CNN choses their words very carefully.

Advocating to permanently ban someone for not being nuanced enough.

Speaking of missing nuance lol

So basically what happened that evening:

• Israeli hooligans sing chants in support of the mass murder of children.
• Israeli hooligans look for conflict and instigate violence on the streets of Amsterdam.
• Violence breaks out between the Israeli hooligans and Amsterdam youth groups.

This all under the shadow of an ongoing likely ethnic cleansing / genocide in Palestine.

And now every newspaper from center-left to far-right in the Netherlands is pretending some horrible antisemitic violence took place akin to 40-45. While at the same time the Dutch government is talking about mass deportations of Muslims. And apparently they are also getting pushed by Israel to strip Dutch citizens of human rights by putting them on these horrible “terrorist” watch lists. Truly incredible.

That or reading public statements from politicians, military officials and other public figures.

And observing the actions of Israel, what other intent can denying food and blowing up all hospitals have than extermination.

AI: “Put glue in your pizza.” UN: “Ow no! It’s sentient.”

The Dutch and the French both have many Belgian jokes (all along the lines that Belgians are dumb), but the funny thing is that many of the jokes actually originate from Belgium itself. They are jokes by the Flemish and Walloons making fun of each other that are then generalized to Belgians as a whole by the Dutch and French.

I’m voting for the same party as a world-historic war criminal so like that’s saying something.

Yes, and don’t forget to donate to be extra sure. Donate that little money you safe from your three sharing economy jobs (after you payed your rent to Blackstone) to the Democrats, so they can pay a consultant ghoul a six figure salary to think of a new way to market genocide denial.

And the way to change it is to Vote Vote Vote! Vote for the Democrats! This time they are really gonna do it.

I’m not in favor of gunboat diplomacy, but if the US is doing it anyway (to enable genocide) I would rather have them do something useful with it.

And using a military to enforce policy does not equal conquering the world, it’s at the end of the escalation ladder, diplomatic pressure then sanctions, embargoes, support regime change, militarily blockades, limiting military operations, and finally full on invasion. These are all things the US is already doing but then for nefarious reasons.

Here is an idea, how about the US uses its military to enforce a minimum wealth tax worldwide to end tax competition, instead of to enable its proxies to commit war crimes.

Respect for turning an awful boomer meme into a reasonable programming meme with just two words.

A party is indeed the time and place where no jokes are made ever, no alcohol is involved, no cheesy flirting techniques occur, and everything is meant a 100% seriously always.
