It’s the future if any of our societies survive climate change; you have to.

for the same reason that the electoral college will never be abolished; there’s money to be made by keeping the status quo.

it’s so bizarre that the world’s uncontested super power is reduced to using sternly worded letter to the manager like some basic karen.

i get that this letter is intended to prove that the administration is taking efforts to end the genocide; but it makes me wonder about the world views of the people in the administration who somehow aren’t aware that sternly-worded-letters are so laughably silly in this day and age that they’re a meme.

in the battleground states: likely not because you need sufficient justification for going absentee/mail; something that isn’t common to the other states.

it’s georgia so i’m expecting them to invalidate it somehow and probably after he’s died so that no one can fight it.

western media just made him a hero because he was against Putin.

that’s too simple of an explanation for me and life is usually not that simple. that’s why i engaged with the clearly outward supporter; but it turns out they can’t past jesus and have no more knowledge about the situation than i do.

they’re right, jesus was a apocryphal story forced down everyone’s throat and your defense paints navalny as a self-important martyr figure and google paints him as a xenophobic homophobe w a martr complex; whatever chance you had to edify the uninformed was lost in this bizarre jesus-christo-stupidity thing you decided to wrap into navalny’s behavior.

Jesus was forced down everyone’s throat regardless of what you believe; so I fail to see the comparison.

There has to have been a better way; Russia is already too lousy w needless & pointless deaths.

But what did he do besides let himself be executed pointlessy?

i know i couldn’t do the same and i struggle to understand why it’s amazing or why he did it.

did this guy have sort of trump like distortion field that made him believe he was the chosen one or did he do something to earn his fame? what was he hoping to accomplish by going back? was he expecting to pull off a napoleon and that people would join his side on his return?

i don’t expect a constructive response from you based on your post history in this thread; but maybe someone else can edify me since google makes him look much worse than the american media.

in another 6 years it’ll be this guy and other one after that. i stopped believing in meaningful democratic prognostications in texas 35 years ago.

i doubt it since every single monied interest has come out against this change and people like that don’t sit around and hope things change in their favor; they use their money to force it and money is the perfect thing to force a government to require a small, manipulable group to decide on who gets to judge.

i was wondering what you said since i can only see that it was removed.

i’ve used milderer sarcasm than you have and my own comments have likewise been removed; i suspect that the fraught relationship that lemmy.world has with the rest of the lemmyverse is fueling overzealous moderation.

that and A People’s History of the United States informs most of what i know.

i also marvel from time to time at how the bullshit that i was taught when i was young can still completely overpower the things i learned in my young adulthood; and it somehow got worse once i reached middle age.

if we’re lucky, there’s be a paragraph about it between to the paragraph about the trail of tears and the other paragraph about martin luther king jr in american history books.

with biden helping

not wack-a-mole since the other western european countries have rejected spain’s request to arrest & render puigdemont to spanish authorities.

and i wish i could also see it as hilarious. to me it means that spain is closer to a banana republic than a liberal democracy since they’re clamping down on a popular movement with an iron fist and spending lots of money on successful propaganda that minimizes that popularity as 50/50 at best.

I doubt she’d be cool with bombing Palestinians

i used to think any sane person would be; but i’m learning from this election cycle that they’re minimize it as being a “single issue voter.”

What we could accomplish…

a lot outside the military.

there is no such thing as an egalitarian military; they’re tools of oppression and hegemony, not improvement.

if any soldier (IDF or not) refuses orders they will either be shot on site or imprisoned unless they either have enough $$$ or connections to overturn it.
