  • The document describes a mechanism resembling the “purchase” of influence: standard membership in the Board of Peace is limited to three years and depends on the will of the chairman. This restriction is lifted for states that contribute more than US$1 billion in cash to the fund within the first year.

    “Decisions would be taken by a majority, with each member state present getting one vote, but all would be subject to the chairman’s approval,” Bloomberg says.

    Pay a billion to get a vote, and everyone gets a vote…

    But trump can overrule any vote…

    And he can kick anyone out that he wants, so if you ever go against his opinion of the moment, he’ll kick you out.

    Why the fuck would any country pay this?





  • You just repeated what I said, except you misunderstood it and said things that are false like:

    I guess the difference is that the US has started killing white protestors now?

    That’s not new at all.

    From the mid-1870s onward, violence rose as insurgent paramilitary groups in the Deep South worked to suppress Black voting and turn Republicans out of office. In Louisiana, the Carolinas, and Florida especially, the Democratic Party relied on paramilitary “White Line” groups, such as the White Camelia, White League and Red Shirts to terrorize, intimidate and assassinate African-American and white Republicans in an organized drive to regain power.

    But the most important part of the lesson, is what happens when people put their personal safety over societies well-being:

    In Yazoo County, Mississippi, for instance, with an African-American population of 12,000, only seven votes were cast for Republicans in 1874. In 1875, Democrats swept into power in the Mississippi state legislature.[46]

    They used violence against anyone who didn’t agree with them, so people who didn’t agree with them stopped voting.

    And the racists still have the political power in the South.



  • Fifa want trump to change “soccer” to “football” and trump wanted a peace prize.

    So FIFA made up a peace prize and gave it to trump.

    And for like an afternoon trump rambled about how football should mean the same in America as everywhere else. But his followers didn’t latch on to it because no one in maga gives a fuck about soccer.

    Fifa gained nothing, and made people hate them even more. I really don’t know why Europe doesn’t just make their own. FIFA has been corrupt and holding the sport back for decades.


  • “It used to be that … you might go to jail, and now you might get shot! So it makes us need to be a lot more brave,” she said. “I hope I would be brave, but I can’t promise that I would be able to. But definitely, it’s time to move beyond ‘I won’t do anything that has any risk whatsoever.’”

    There’s a very narrow window in America where the worst you had to worry about was being sent to jail for protesting for equal rights…

    It’s the abnormality, not the norm that it’s “safe”. And that’s over now.

    Like, when the current president was in college, they were killing people for it

    And he has dementia, so as far as he’s concerned the world is exactly the same as when he was in his 20s, so that’s how he’s acting.



  • Kind of weird to see OP out here arguing for people to donate to Wikipedia…

    The core problem seems to be capacity: Wikipedia’s scale, multilingual sprawl, and procedural complexity mean that if Estonia’s and Lithuania’s volunteer communities only notice changes when they become “critical,” it may already be too late to prevent a narrative from hardening into the default global summary. Loopholes like this make Wikipedia attractive for hostile info warriors.

    But the article is correct, stuff like this can be nipped in the bud, but due to a forced reliance on volunteers, there might not be the manpower to catch these things early.

    Don’t just give up on Wikipedia, if it wasn’t effective these douchebags doing fraudulent editing for propaganda purposes wouldn’t be so long the ridiculous amount of time this takes, especially when the account doing it can be identified and easily removed once it’s noticed.

    No different than banning trolls from a forum.







  • If you wanna read the whole thing deep, visit my main community “BharatReforms” and join it for further similar and informative updates.

    Just so everyone is aware what “Bharat Reform” actually means:

    It’s a far right extremist pro-Modi movement in India, which is the same the other communities OP moderates, just slightly less blatant to ease people into the hate.

    Hindutva, right-wing ethno-nationalist political ideology that defines the cultural identity of India in terms of Hinduism and desires to make India an overtly Hindu nation-state. The term Hindutva was first defined in the early 1920s by Indian nationalist activist and politician Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Today it is most closely associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party (Hindi/English: Indian People’s Party; BJP), one of the main political parties in India, and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (Hindi: National Volunteer Organization; RSS), a nonpolitical Hindu nationalist paramilitary organization. Hindutva supporters, or Hindutvavadis, claim to advocate for India’s significant Hindu-majority population—as of 2011 India was 79.8 percent Hindu, 14.2 percent Muslim, and the rest a mix of Christians, Sikhs, and others—and seek to redefine the idea of secularism enshrined in the Indian constitution in terms of Hindu rights.

    Hindutva as an ideology must be understood as distinct from Hinduism as a religion—not all adherents of Hinduism subscribe to Hindutva—and Savarkar’s original definition asserts Hindutva as an ethnic category and eschews a specific religious connotation. In current practice the ideology tends to be strongly pro-Hindu and staunchly anti-Muslim. However, supporters often define Hindutva in purely cultural terms as a “way of life.”

    It’s like rolling up MAGA and Zionists into one group
