We are reaching the final logical conclusions of capitalism with Canadian characteristics.

They will allow Amazon to build their " all inclusive " worksites where the workers can’t actually leave. These megacorporations are more powerful then the state is.

The classic 4chan cars for under 5K chart still largely holds up today.

Take it with a grain of salt and perhaps bump the years up by a decade or so.

Personally i would take a 20 year old car with low milage that still has solid saftey features and a comfortable interior vs a newer car with better technology, but arguably worse saftey features and undoubtedly worse privacy.

Not to mention it’s going to be cheaper to break some shit on an old car vs a brand new one that’s loaded with sensors and computers. My 2 cents anyways.

That and ring doorbells being used as a big data harvesting point for the police.

The surveillance culture we have is so normalized now people don’t even care that their security camera is more of a corporate livestream then a secure loop. But hey, how else an I gonna pust pictures of the guy stealing my 3rd Amazon package of the day.

Tucker Carlson don’t got that Seth Rogan build type for a mission like that…

Damn, this mf really found a way to use Lemmy to fulfill their abusive message fetish. I respect this deeply.

It’s the opposite. The pool of young people to pull from is smaller everyday.

In this regard, Russia has the advantage where they can just keep throwing more and more bodies into the war without major unrest. Luckily Wagner is gone, as they had the human wave then special forces combo down to a science, but the problem of Russia having exponentially more manpower at their disposal remains unless they begin drafting all Women between ages 18 - 60. Which will likely never happen.

" Siding with Yemen " is a bit rich. The writing is on the wall for the current regional war to expand into a proper world war. They don’t want their infrastructure, be it shipping or oil related to be hit by missles.

It’s one thing to carry out an air campaign halfway across the earth where your enemy cannot reach your homeland. It’s a bit different when the war is in your backyard and not on the television.

Same reason why Saudi Arabia is so squeamish about this whole air raid campaign. Both nations host American bases and troops. They are the logical first targets for the Houthi’s to attack. Signing off on this would be stepping foot into the ring as a meatshield, with little to gain from this charade.

Yemen has already been bombed back into the stone ages, infrastructure wise. More airstrikes will not break them.

You do realize many of the women raped were probably Muslim too? Its not religion that brought that rather then racism… people keep failing to understand this. Or rather it makes you feel justified in your own hatred rather then reading the actual fucking article.

As much as we let them keep making.

Who knew that firing the most loyal, dedicated, competent and hardworking employees would have this result?

I was told Elon’s shitposting would resolve wokeness and make twitter great again.

Tiktok also didn’t censor the major protests in France like Facebook and Twitter did at the time.

Theres only a handful of social media outlets. Tik tok is just not suppressing the Pro Palestine content like Western owned media outlets have been.

We speak lots of " free speech " in the West, but look how quick, German, British, American, Canadian government and media spheres are united in calling Palestine protestors terrorists and supporting hamas.

Its just our lack of free speech being exposed when it goes against the powers that be.

Yes. Theres plenty of Jewish activitsts blocking Isreali consulates and weapons factories in the West. There is also anti war jews in Israel. There are plenty of bloodthirsty, pro war Christian zionists in the West but the anti Christian narrative isint at play here despite they in our political class supporting this fully.

Promoting antisemitism will just make it harder for those people to meaningfully act in solidairty.

" We don’t think you fight fire with fire best ; we think you fight fire with water best. We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity. "

• Fred Hampton Sr

Not to mention all the destruction of farms, the poisoning of water sources, all the destroyed vehicles and rotting corpses of men and animals alike laid everywhere.

They will be calling this the 2nd Nakba. Not only is it a massacre of the people, the Palestinians last remaining lands have been salted. Gaza looks like Stalingrad.

It is an entirely man made disaster. Or state made disaster if you will.

No offense but you look like you praise the sun.

UV disinfectant lights were likely used by ignorant, frugal event lighting staff.

That’s some really low tier event planning. That would be like if you went paintballing and the owner included a few live hand grenades amongst the paint ones. It’s almost impressive how badly they fucked up.

Atleast the onion writers get a break from writing headlines. Job is done for em already.

For years many in Syria have said that WW3 has already begun and is being fought in the middle east. You could very well argue this is the opening stage of World War 3. We’re only one misclick, or one civilian airliner being shot down away from even greater catastrophe.

Latin America is just ahead of the curve. In the West we will continue protesting and putting pressure on our politicans like the world did to the West when it supported aparthied South Africa.

Keep pretending as if the rest of the world’s opnions don’t matter. You will be even more enraged and shocked as the walls continue to come down on this genocide perpetuating government. Netanyahu must go!

Of course not, but Biden admin is panicking because if the Israeli’s keep this going eventually the de facto regional war that is going on will become a de jure one.

They are pretty much begging Isreal to not erode any more of their legitimacy in the middle east and globally. It is not working.

For sure, conscription in of itself is criminal but like the USA during Vietnam, poor people,ethnic minorities and developmentally disabled men are disproportionately grabbed off the streets and litteraly forced into service.

The men in Moscow and St Petersburg seem to still have avoided such issiues this deep into the war.

Maybe conscription is the wrong word to use, and more like state sponsored cleansing of " undesirables." Certainly helped the state reduce spending on male prison populations…

Best I can offer is another withdrawal from Afghanistan tier retreat.
