Figure 1 shows that China had very low inequality levels in the late 1970s, but it is now approaching the US, where income concentration remains the highest among the countries shown
You can’t possibly make a reasonable argument that Kamala Harris is a fascist lmao
If they’re exclusively supporting the right wing candidate, they’re not a centrist, then
Oh they absolutely do, but ml has a reputation for being particularly poorly moderated
Why are you unwilling to enlighten us?
This list isn’t by percentage with a home - it excludes people who rent, so all this shows is that nobody rents their home in China
Let’s go look at your comment history and check, shall we?
Defending yourself and launching invasions or orchestrating soldiers are two different things
It’s not defending yourself if you have an army! What a great take 👍
it sounds like the government is giving out plans and commanding the army. The government of ukraine and people from ukraine are two different things. When people ask what’s the alternative to send billions to the ukrainian government what they need to understand is that people can defend themself even without an authority on top of them playing war games with soldiers and possibly forcing conscript to go on missions
Oh, why did Ukraine never consider magically winning the war by sheer willpower instead of this “having an army” nonsense, smart!
I’m not twisting anything. Context matters, and the context of your post was you throwing a tantrum after around 10 different Lemmy users calling out your bad takes.
If you believe not being drafted blah blah blah
That’s not what I said at all, mere moments after you accused me of “twisting” what you said. What I said, louder for the people in the back is BEING UNABLE TO FIGHT BACK IN THE ENEMY’S TERRITORY, BEING DISALLOWED TO RECEIVE FOREIGN AID AND BEING DISALLOWED TO FORM AN ACTUAL ARMY is the equivalent of rolling over and dying.
This is literally about a judge fining the diplomat half a million, though?? Like isn’t this literally the exact opposite of that
The issue, from what I can tell, is that the question you’ve asked here doesn’t match the argument you just had in comments of a post about about the Ukraine war. The argument you were trying to make is not “war bad”, but specifically that Ukraine’s counteroffensive is bad. You were additionally arguing that it is morally reprehensible for other countries to provide economic support to Ukraine rather than leaving them to “defend themselves”.
There’s a few important details that such an argument (intentionally) ignores.
The combination of your proposals that Ukraine should not proactively fight back, and that they should lose access to the resources that would allow them to continue to defend their territory end us meaning that Ukraine would not be able to effectively defend itself.
From reading your comments alongside this post, it seems that the title should actually be “how do you make someone understand that rolling over and dying is good”, to which the answer is “oh fuck off mate”
Holy moly
Has Kim been transphobic? Or is this just you generally hating techbros (not that I’d really consider him a techbro tbh)
They are somewhat right about the fact that the vaccines haven’t been sufficiently accessible in Africa to actually tackle the crisis, though
Though it is worth noting that the original commenter very nearly hit on an important point: the vaccines are not accessible enough to communities in Africa, especially in the poorest - often the most impacted - regions.
Mpox is something we could have stopped long ago with a better system of distributing/purchasing vaccines, like with tuberculosis.
It is true that when these diseases reach Europe, North America and East Asia, these medicines suddenly start being distributed far more effectively, since that’s where most of the companies that manufacture them are based, and since the countries there are wealthy enough to effectively do so, but only now that it’s an Us Problem™️
Too little, too late, though, in classic Congress style
The Myanmar Rohingya genocide was nearly a decade ago now, and we’re somehow still at the “asking Mark nicely to do a better job of moderation” step, somehow
I guess the police at least are able to order Facebook to remove it (sounds like that’s what happened) but then yeah, as you say, I expect they will have just escalated to the county/state police, if anything
I knew this was beneath that Read More long before I pressed it
Especially since their one example is Caesar, who lived in a time when basically everyone was gay!
Edit: and about 1.5 thousand years before capitalism was invented
Yeah it’s been like 3 years of this plus “but I like when the port is a circle, not an oval!” 😴
