  • This one hit hard.

    I know it shouldn't, far worse has and is going on. It's strange the way in the midst of a genocide, some of the individual stories stick out.

  • Why do we glorify horrible people from the distant past?

  • Julius Ceasar wasn't so bad. Parenti's book The Assassination of Julius Caesar: A People's History of Ancient Rome is an interesting read, looking at his assassination as a reaction from the ruling class who felt threatened by his reformist policies that benefited the lower classes.

    In general though we do seem to value the lives and experiences of people in even recent history as lesser. I don't know why, it's a good question.

  • warning Iran and its allies against any "further escalation" of the conflict.

    They didn't mention "Israel" once the scumbags.

  • What options does Maduro have after Venezuela's contested presidential election?

    Jump

  • simply release the receipts

    To whom? The only people who need to see them are serial liars.

  • The world’s democracies have almost unanimously condemned the results of Venezuela’s presidential election

    Bullshit.

  • What would you recommend: T480; Carbon X1 Gen 6; Or Dell 7480?

    Jump

  • I have an x1 Gen7 and it's great. EXCEPT for the battery life which is fucking awful. Maybe 4 hours if you're lucky. It was originally advertised as having 18 hours.

  • Israel bombs Gaza school whilst displaced Palestinians prayed, killing at least 100

  • Either you forgot to post it or it was removed.

  • Well, Mrs. Vice President, if you don't want my vote in November, then say that. [News] [Discussion]

  • A vote for either is a vote for genocide.

    DON'T BE COMPLICIT.

  • What household item do you wish there was a trial/testing period for?

  • Coffee machines. Every one I've gotten for years now ends up leaking water. Tried a load of brands.

  • I'll always have fond memories of it. I learned a lot back in the day and swore by it.

  • Coolest historical leader?

  • Also also, a horrible despot and mass murderer.

    This is just western propaganda.

  • Coolest historical leader?

    Jump

  • Thomas Sankara, revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso, jamming on his guitar, 1980s.

    Having just carried out literacy campaigns across the country and vaccinated 2.5 million children free of charge... carrying out greening projects to curb the growing desertification in the Sahel, advocating women's liberation and freedom and general improvements of women's social status, alongside the nationalisation of land and mineral resources... then he played his stratocaster as he often did with his jazz band.

    Sorry but you'll never be this cool.

  • Older people of lemmy what is some nuance sayings or typed on the net that you would like to have explained to you?

  • Why don't the people of Hex Bear get new jokes? They were worn out already on reddit after the first couple of years.

  • Why does it feel as though only the US and China (and maybe some other Asian countries) have an economic future?

    Jump

  • I thought it was always common knowledge? If you mean they've admitted it well no they haven't. But nobody honest can pretend that they seriously deny it. They threatened to do it on multiple occasions and there are no other plausible suspects.

  • Why does it feel as though only the US and China (and maybe some other Asian countries) have an economic future?

    Jump

  • This is all just empty coping. Europe's economy is fucked and there's no light at the end of the tunnel. Cherry picking a single example of an industry doing well won't change that.

    And especially Germany is really strong in a lot of areas that dont make the news regularly.

    Counterpoint, no it isn't.

    Also look at the transition to renewable energy in the last decade alone. We have a lot of ideas for the future,

    Looking but not seeing, Missed all of our targets. On track to miss the next ones. Meanwhile China reached its 2030 targets last month.

    When the US goes under things will get far worse. Our economies are very deindustrialised and our finance economies won't be worth anything much. The EC under VdL will continue its march to fascism and since we can't fight any wars, the imperialism will turn inward.

  • Although he is “on the left” he has better investment sense than all the suits who control European capital.

    The suits who control European capital are Americans. People like Von Der Leyen and Shultz, or in my country Ireland, Harris, work for American interests. You see it in everything they do. They're not stupid or lacking sense.

    This "elite capture" is so complete that when the US is caught spying on Europe’s leaders, there is a deafening silence in the media. When the US blows up Nordstream pipeline and everyone knows it, even average Europeans stay silent.

    The enslavement of Europe will be studied by psychologists in the future.
