Lemmy is older than the Reddit exodus, and historically had stricter moderation. When the exodus happened, the OG lemmy users saw the newcomers as rude at best, and various forms of bigots at worst. So ‘go back to Reddit’ is short-hand for ‘such talk is not welcome here’.
you know like a few weeks ago the iranian regime killed upwards of 30,000 people?
Isn’t this something CIA / Mossad made up to justify attacking Iran? It hasn’t been independently verified as far as I know.
Verified deaths are about a thousand ‘protestors’, and about two thousand police and civilians.
‘Allahu Akbar’ means ‘God is great’. It has nothing to do with battle.
The real problem with socialism is that it offends the CIA, and bad things happen to people who offend the CIA.
The United States is a strange country. Murder, terrorism and genocide are perfectly normal, but someone who is disgusted by these and refuses to play along is somehow considered weird.
This is so stupid. Of all the possible options, why are we buying the one that we know won’t work against Pakistan? Entire contract should have been cancelled.
Iraq Iran has WMDs anti-ship missiles.
Ah, that makes sense.
absolutely perfect choice for the movie it’s in.
I’m aware of the meaning, but I actually found it strange that they put a song about cheating in a film aimed at children.
Several Japanese songs, such as Summer of Goodbye, Message in Rouge and Contrails
Garland of a Hundred Flowers - My neighbours’ national anthem can’t be this cute! (Nepali)
Halls of Hueyteotl and Baba Yetu (both Swahili, both from video games)
Epstein’s friend
You realise how little that narrows it down?
Also are these the same governments that acknowledged that Iraq had WMDs?
Learn to check sources if you do not wish to be dismissed as a conspiracy theorist. You linked a Wikipedia page. Did you even bother to check the references? The first five include conspiracy nutter Adrian Zenz, the rag that spread the Palestinians raped Israelis and killed children conspiracy, and some group based in Taiwan. That’s two worthless sources, and one sus source, out of five.
I’m sure they originate in economic pressures. But it’s like letting a genie out of a lamp - you can easily whip up religious / racist hatred, but once out, it takes a life of its own and can turn even on its own creators.
This implies the existance of ethical gooners.
I do think your wording is causing some confusion. Of course, the aim of most imperialists is economic exploitation, but there historically there have been other drivers of conquest such as religion and racism.
In any society, some sections would be having ‘good times’, and wouldn’t want the status quo to change. Other sections wouldn’t be having a great time, and would be asking for change.
Centrists then might be people who want some changes, although people who don’t want any change often also call themselves centrists since (1) different sections would be asking for different directions of change, so staying put might seem the middle ground, and (2) it’s more respectable than admitting the current system benefits them and they don’t want it to change.
Also centralists are different. Centralisation / decentralisation is the debate over how much power national governments should have versus local governments.
China isn’t Israel.
With actual medicines, or horse dewormer?
You know, the communist nations, whatever their faults, have moved more people out of poverty than the rest of the world combined, helped many colonies achieve independence, and sent the first man and woman to space.
Whereas anarchist nations have- oh wait they don’t even exist.
Maybe they should have read them books.
