No, the private funding of politicians, which nowhere in the world happens as thoroughly or blatantly as in the US, is another issue to solve. It’s companies pushing for privatization of services that they sabotage first to show that the government doesn’t do well with them. It’s like the postal service headed by that Trump appointee that was a big cheese in a transport firma. I forgot his name.

You think the state of NASA isn’t caused by privately funded politicians?

The Sikh do yes, I don’t trust the rest of the religious “good works” one bit. i read your argument here now and then but I don’t believe it.

Doesn’t it feel like he is orchestrating the whole thing to give the IDF excuses to shoot people?

Israel practically organized Hamas to have an opponent easily disliked by western nations. They funded and molded it to the exclusion of more secular and leftist organisations like PLO. Hamas is not a problem for Israel, it’s a tool to allow them unlimited brutality on the Palestinian population. I know people on lemmy don’t want to hear this but when you look at what happened since the days when people like Rabin and Arafat were making headway in peaceful solutions that might have ultimately led to freedom, safety and dignity for everyone in the region.

The agreements they made werent perfect, they were stepping stones in the way to a better situation, and they were what could be eeked out in the existing situation. Of course Zionist extremists could not live with that. Never forget who killed Rabin.

They both do, it’s what narcism does.

If there was one funny thing Trump could do was weaponize the doj against Musk and get his companies seized in civil forfeiture. It certainly would be a win for the US, so he is not going to.

What? Somebody thought he would stop his habit after taking office? Also when in Rome, get high with the Romans… I don’t think Trump even switches on without the right substances.

Aside from hurting Trans people, these things hurt women both those afab or not, and given the numbers of each group they end up hurting way, way, way more cisgender women. So every opportunity, every interview with Rowling, every comment on a tweet to her should be “What happened that made you hate women this much?”.

I mean it’s sad that she can’t love the trans, but if that was just a prrsonal dislike, ok everyone has barely rational likes and dislikes, can’t be helped. But to make that public, and then to go to these lengths, to sacrifice the safety of all women on the altar of that hate and fear, that is truly sick and sickening.

So the question is “JO, WHY DO YOU HATE WOMEN???”

Because because of her hate mongering, women are getting in trouble and often beat up for going to the bathroom, get humiliated by having to “prove” they’re “real” women to pushy agressive bigots. I fully expect one day to lose my job and end up in jail for beating up some such asshole who thinks they should humiliate my wife or daughters that way.

My series fell off the gorram tv!

Yes, but it felt rushed. Still better than nothing, but a whole extra season would not be bad now would it?

Oh come on, that is “the quest for the holy Grail” and you know it!

Don’t worry about it, you will be able to get vaccines developped in Europe, Asia or Africa. The tarriffs will no doubt be minimal. Besides if you don’t test for it you don’t have any known deaths from that.

Thanks. I suspected something like that but didn’t know for sure. Autoritaian regimes always push for uniformity and child producing families. So anyone different is demonized.

Any idea why this is the case? I’m unfamiliar with Lithuania and the average mindset there. Has there been an anti-trans feeling for a long time or has there been a load of right wing or religious hate mongering?
