That’s the world we live in…

It’s jarring how many people get much more worked up about the “what if” scenario of Palestinians using a position of power in the way Israel does right now.

Mass murdering tens of thousands of civilians, annexing multiple neighbouring countries, settler colonialism, starvation etc.

Telegram’s Pavel Durov attacks democracies while defending dictatorships.

He is Russian, lives in the UAE, and targets real democracies

i forget who made it but it cracks me up lol

FTR I prefer to think of myself as anti-anti-Stancilist 🙃

This is an old debunked lie. The only "agreement" on the table in 2022 was surrender.

I hate Boris but for once he actually got something right and offered help when it was needed when Ukraine had assumed nobody would be there.

And never forget. These are asylum seekers. This is what the USA is doing to the most vulnerable people on the planet who we promised to protect.

I mean probably. Tankies understanding of basic facts is truly astonishing

the vassal states of the famously non-colonialist soviet union might beg to differ.

Blueskyese and Xian share an obvious common root as both being Twitteric languages, the difference is that after the split Xian became a hybrid Twitteric/Channer-linkedin tongue, while Blueskyese changed less overall but did pick up some tumbleric and redditor loanwords

"Polarization" IT'S A COMMON REFRAIN THESE DAYS. NATTERING NOGGINS HOSTS: THE PROBLEM AS I SEE IT IS THAT AMERICA HAS BECOME TOO POLARIZED. YES, IT'S SO SAD. WHEN A MOVEMENT BECOMES EXTREMIST, DO WE REALLY WANT TO SEE THE OPPOSITION AS PART OF THE PROBLEM? MAN: ANYONE WHO HELPS A 10 YEAR-OLD RAPE VICTIM GET AN ABORTION SHOULD GO TO JAIL! WOMAN: THAT'S BARBARIC AND I'M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO FIGHT IT. POLARIZATION ALERT BUT THE TERM "POLARIZATION" CAN BE A FORM OF BOTH-SIDESING THAT OBSCURES SPECIFICS. ARMED EXTREMIST: I'M HERE TO STOP THE TRANSGENDERS FROM DESTROYING THE COUNTRY. TRANSGENDER PERSON: I PREFER NOT TO DIE, AND SOMETIMES SHARE THIS OPINION! WOULD THIS BE BETTER? MAN IN MILITARY GEAR: YOU WILL DO AS I SAY, SUBHUMAN! LATINO MAN: I WILL POLITELY ACQUIESCE! HOW NICE! NO MORE POLARIZATION!

This week's comic: "Polarization" is a reality-obscuring weasel word

Exclusive | Justice Department Casts Wide Net on Netflix’s Business Practices in Merger Probe As it probes bids for Warner, the department is asking if the streamer has engaged in conduct that could make it a monopoly.

Welcome to the world of selective enforcement, a hallmark of autocratic and hybrid governments. It doesn't matter if the underlying investigation has validity. Because the probe is not about the rule of law, but rather the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of allies of the regime.

I’m not sure how we make people realize it but I would like republicans not to lead by double digits on the “which party does law enforcement better” question

Sorry I absolutely hate driving here!

Have your high beams on at all times and drive as far to the left as possible especially if there's oncoming traffic... Wouldn't want to accidentally get within two metres of a parked car on a round that's barely five wide!

Also the only qualification to be an uber driver here seems to be 'has seen a car (optional)'

Come to Toronto where even if you have the skills they go out the window whenever there is any weather (including clear skies)

coming up with a new idea called "driving like shit olympics". no more bland, unprovable statements like "california drivers are the WORST" allowed. whichever state wins every 4 years gets a moonshot-sized public transit investment to get those fuckers off the road

part of me still can't believe the East Wing was completely destroyed and there have been no negative consequences or reports on whether items inside were properly archived or not

don't they do that already?

Admitedly he didn't seem particularly interested from jump

How bad does a lawyer have to be for this to even happen!?

Out of curiosity what is this case even about?

THE COURT: I don't care about now. Now doesn't help me. I need to know what you did here. I need to understand because we're doing a postmortem to figure out how one-quarter of your cases were nonexistent hallucinations. MR. FELDMAN: Fourteen out of 60 cited cases. THE COURT: Just under one-quarter of the cases. I cannot understand how you did that, sir. Tell me how you did that, how you put together this brief to be so bad.

“ACKSHUALLY your honor it’s only 23.3%, not a quarter”
“Your brief sucked ass”

Trump isn't even smart enough to do anything other that rip off putin's invasion plan www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

"the democracy is authoritarian because everyone doesn't believe I'm right about everything"

We'll see how much of a difference it makes... If one candidate in particular wins I doubt it will make a lick of difference unfortunately.

Leftsist just love trying to justify genocides or imperialism!

The Rwanda stuff is particularly egregious because as much as it does follow the same logic as 'Maidan was a coup' and 'Serbenica was a psyop', he's not lazily parotting kremlin bullshit but going out of his way to come up with new crap

yeah, the thing is that parties should always try to get their message out even if they know they'll lose...the classic example is Iowa which was a swing state until dems gave up on it.

i get the point you're making but engler is a bad example, supporting numerous genocides is something that just should be disqualifying.
