Too vague to agree on this.
All conflicts are more complicated than this, even where there's a clearcut culprit.
I've seen it misused too many times.

Just by seeing iii's comments one can see the confusion. Where he thought the one holding the missile is what the author thinks is clearly the one chilling and vibing, I thought of another conflict entirely that this doesn't apply to, but seen the argument used at least three times.

I hereby end my post stating that the US, Canada, Australia, Aotearoa and France's New Caledonia should give back its land to its indigenous people. Thank you.

China has become a superpower surpassing the US and sells Russia an abundance of inexpensive high-quality goods and exchanges high-quality military technology. This allows Russia to fight with higher tech weapons in greater quantaties on their doorstep. The EU thought it was going to be another Iraq/Afghanistan where the US would do the heavy lifting, waltz in and then the EU would chime in by patrolling areas.

Purpose? Point? You make it sound like it's something inherently positive. Can you give me an example where it could be inherently positive? Because the purposes I can think of are all negative to me since I have goals of my own and any purpose in life would stand in the way of that. I don't want to be like a spoon (so humans can eat more easily) or a cat (To be human pets), so I'm really glad to have no point or purpose in life, as that means I am the master of my own destiny.

I have goals in life I want to achieve. That's why I want to live longer. And if people can help me achieve my goals, that's all the better.

If you want to find purpose in life, then I'm sure you can find another person in life that can give you one.

The USSR existed back then and the USSR was doing very well at the time up until 1975,
right after the petrodollar scheme was made and SWIFT was introduced.
Because of that, the US had strong labour unions.
Socialism was popular back then,
although the US was also able to propagandize that it was explicitly not doing that in the slightest.

Nowadays, the US will have to fight again against capitalism.
And capitalists are warring to survive, not just abroad,
but at home as well.
Their ideology currently is that capitalism has won,
communism has lost and therefore any concessions to the left
will no longer have to be made.

And US Social democracy isn't coming from the top this time,
when FDR decided to take a turn for the left and continued going left,
up until Jimmy Carter was replaced by Ronald Reagen.

This time it's coming from Zohran Mamdani
and this time it looks like it's taking the form of democratic socialism,
a step more to the left than social democracy.

With better job availibility, your father would have had a much easier time
maintaining a good income and thus a family.
You however, would have a trade-off.
Better job security, but little to no knowledge of your sexuality.
Also terrible medical practises, barbaric in some fields.

It's amazing how many times I saw this knowledge being spread, together with thousands of umbrellas and hard hats during the Hong Kong riots from day one with "Hong Kong, add oil" as their first slogan combined with very mild mannered arguments (we don't know if it could lead to more serious things) against the extradition law which was supposed to affect maybe half a dozen people per decade, all serious criminals. A law almost every country has on earth that the US used against the daughter of the owner of one of the largest companies in the world, for the flimsiest of reasons, in contrast to the walled-off-to-arrest-one-particular-teen-girl-axe-murderer-to-be-shipped-to-Taiwan-law Hong Kong tried to implement.

How many people have been affected by the Alien Enemies Act again?

And how did the ~~The protests were call "No kings" remember that? Remember that it was called NO KINGS "Unbiased. Straight. Facts" SAN? Do you remember that? No? Okay, well...~~ "anti-ICE" ~~it is~~ protests go?

Because apart from the shocker that you were being surveilled, I think the protests needed a little bit less "Zero demands, not one more" chants and a little more 'We demand and protest until we win and get what we want' kind of thing.

Risug is in trials forever.

It's very likely to have been
deliberately held back for decades now
by a true conspiracy and for petty reasons.

The dude is Gilgamesh who, after finishing his quest to obtain the flower of immortality decides to spend an action in order to recover his stamina and hp, but then a wild snake appears during his nap and proceeds to that eat the flower, so now that snake is immortal.

Oldest lesson in history learned:
If you can't convince your worth to your DM while obtaining an impossible artifact, the DM will find a way for you to lose that artifact.

  1. Vasectomies (+ birth control pills)
  2. animal testing for human research.
  3. I'm sure that anyone working in a hospital can cough up a few dozen more.

RISUG has been invented in 1978,
is reversable, cheaper, zero side effects,
and with so far 0% failure rate when implemented properly,
Vasalgel, an improvement on RISUG by having a longer shelf-life,
has been invented around 2015.

So this stuff has been invented in the same year as the first Star Wars movie,
had gone through all trials multiple times with flying colors,
and instead we use knives and pills with large side effects.

If any invention could be been ubiquitous in use at a much earlier stage,
then this would be it.
It could and should have been widely used by the 1980's.

For animal testing we have 3D printed human tissue.
So why test on animals if your question is "Does this stuff work on human tissue?"
The answer you'll be getting is whether or not it works on mice.
Mice are not human.

 

Now I know a country is not the same as a city, but my country, the Netherlands, is small and densily populated, so maybe they're somewhat comparable?

I hear Mandami is considered from extreme-left to what he professes himself as democratic socialist, which to me would mean left-wing. I however keep pushing every US politician one or two positions to the right, but that's just vibes. So I would like to compare his stances to at least five political parties from my country, but where do I start?

Should I post an ask Lemmy on each topic how they compare to Mandami starting with housing? Because I would imagine the stances of each party on just one topic would already make quite a long post.

[edit]

I'll try and make several posts on this subject.

Are they living too far away? Too poor to go there? Bots? Laziness? Are they not interested in military parades despite liking to denounce protesters?

What's the big reason?

Title buzzwords OFTEN IN CAPS.

  • The real reason
  • You won't believe
  • Bizarre
  • Dramatic
  • Insane
  • Never seen before
  • Shouldn't exist
  • The truth behind
  • Panicking
  • You won't beleive what

And what's also extremely annoying is whenever questions are being asked in the title, when it's them who should have the expertise..

Me: "Don't ask me. You're supposed to know that."
