The difference is that the Americans rolled out a red carpet for the Nazis and offered employment contracts. The Soviets showed up one night and kidnapped nearly 7000 nazis at gunpoint, and then forced them to work to pay reparations. Based.
Enjoy the freedom of having the likes of Meta and Google pull another Cambridge analytica. Or the freedom of having multi-billion dollar companies like YouTube aggressively push algorithms that steer people down the alt right pipeline. Or the freedom of instagram mechanically and ruthlessly instilling in children as much body dysphoria and low self esteem as possible in the name of profit.
Any reasonable person can look at the heinous acts carried out by western tech companies in recent years and realize that the great firewall has been vindicated.
Edit: "CCP shill", "whataboutism", "two things can be bad"... come on folks, its time to start thinking of some new thought-terminating cliches. These are so 2023.
When we go to unprovable predictions about the future so that the your argument cannot be refuted, the debate ends right there. I don’t play what if.
Thats... called a hypothetical. Hypotheticals allow you to do thought experiments - which are not some conniving, underhanded, or fallacious way of arguing.
If, hypothetically, in 30 years, your choice is between a democrat who wants 10 genocides and a replublican who wants 11, will you still be militantly democrat?
I have no problem voting for whoever is the better candidate of the two- regardless of whether or not they align with my policies ideology
You do realize the error with this utility calculation, right? A few more years of this style of "pragmatic liberal utilitarianism" will have you voting for a Dem who wants 9 genocides over a republican who wants 10. You'll find yourself voting for 2036 Dem candidate Ted Cruz as he runs against the republicans' candidate of Mecha Hitler.
This strategy isn't sustainable, and what you've shown is that there is no number of Palestinian children you wouldnt sacrifice to bide time for your crumbling oligarchy. At some point, we have a moral duty to the victims of our imperialism to simply dismantle our genocidal country.
Just tried that in 2016. Debbie Schultz and Hillary decided to quell Bernie fervor, elevated Trump, and secured years of Trump and a fascist devolution. Utterly embarrassing. The Democratic party is not going to stop fascism.
Yeah the science is above my head but I believe usually after they rip out the nail (be it whole nail or a strip), they will apply a cotton ball of phenol to the bed and that is supposed to stop the nail from coming back. It failed to do so 3 times in my case, albeit on two different toes.
To anyone who gets this: do not let the podiatrist convince you to do the partial removal. Ask your podiatrist if a full nail avulsion could be preferable to a partial avulsion if minimizing chance of reoccurence is the most important factor to you. Ie, removing a tiny strip from one or both sides of the nail. It is HIGHLY likely it will get bad again. Have them do a full phenol cauterization and remove the entire nail. You dont need it, and you'll be better off without it. However, I'm no doctor.
"Conflict", "everlasting war", "dumbshit religious conflict"....
Bruh.... just say genocide if you aren't a genocide denier. You dont deny there is a genocide in Palestine, do you? No? Then stop the disingenuous casting of it as a normal, symmetrical war.
Leftists who refused to vote for Kamala did not do so because of "conflict". Leftists who chose not to vote for Kamala did so because of genocide. Stop whitewashing. Engage honestly with the actual leftist position instead of your strawman.
"A conflict happening on the other side of the planet" is one my new favorite euphemisms for genocide - one that has left 50k children killed or injured.
What I remember was the Democratic establishment being presented with a simple choice between halting fascism and doing genocide, and they went balls deep in genocide. In reality, halting fascism via the Democrats was never in the cards.
Kde plasma 6 just in time before win10 EOL. Time for me to make the plunge. I tried Fedora a few months ago, but it didn't like displaying to three monitors of different resolutions and refresh rates.
