World News@lemmy.ml•Russia says it sees no positive steps from US on disarmament, RIA reportsEnglish
71·9 months agoIt might see a massive increase in nuclear warhead production and pointless vehicle production, but the US military will continue to decline. There aren’t enough truly dedicated Trump supporters to refill what’s been lost over the last 8 years, and we have a new set of veterans from Afghanistan to preach the pointlessness of war and the fact the US government will not provide you practically any support once you’re used up to stall or eliminate new recruits.
The fact Trump’s destroying the VA and has already indefinitely paused GI bill payouts just adds to that fire, where not even shitty but ‘safe’ benefits are not guaranteed.
No matter how far down the LLM rabbit hole the government goes you can’t sustain a war without a massive amount of soldiers. The US doesn’t have that anymore.
Homer Simpson got on disability for being 300lbs, and he had to work comically hard to gain the 70 pounds to hit that mark.
…so that insatiable, ridiculous weight he was already at was only 230 freedoms. Easily half the adult population is near or above that. Hell that’s not even particularly overweight if you’re tall and somewhat in shape.

221·9 months ago…you have no idea the scale of destruction Israel has wrought. Educate yourself.
We will never agree with your current level of education and this conversation cannot continue under the current site rules.

World News@lemmy.ml•China reaffirms support for Palestinian state after Donald Trump’s Gaza commentsEnglish
322·9 months agoIt’s hardly a genocide to try, jail, and rehabilitate Nazis. Over half the Israeli population supports Nazi actions. If we fold the Palestinian population into that population of Nazis, their lives won’t get better. We’d have to spend centuries as a global community commiting third party police and military to protect Palestinian Israelis from all others, while still calling them by their colonizers name.
Instead, we return the state of Palestine. We deport the Nazis. We let the state of Palestine set the terms of their return and settlement, should that be something they have in their hearts to do.
I’m sorry to say but the Holocaust wasn’t shit at this point. Palestinians have had it worse at the hands of Zionists. Asking the victims to forever bare the names of their victimizers is crazy.
Imagine telling the Jews to just get back to Nazi Germany with vague assurances they’ll be real citizens this time but keeping the name Nazi Germany.

322·9 months agoInvesting billions in raising the quality of life so people don’t do terrorism is not genocide and never will be.

World News@lemmy.ml•China reaffirms support for Palestinian state after Donald Trump’s Gaza commentsEnglish
394·9 months agoThe real solution is to make them all Palestinian citizens after deporting and arresting the ~50% of Israelis that supported the genocide long after international bodies called it genocide.

1·9 months agoI’m sorry you think reality in this case is right wing or propaganda. I hope you get better soon. Being a simp for a dead right wing party that has only realistically caused mass suffering is a terrible thing.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Parents sue TikTok over child deaths allegedly caused by ‘blackout challenge’English
31·9 months agoIf you’re asking this and trying to argue this genuinely, then you’ve entirely lost the plot.
‘broadcasting’ doesn’t enter into this. Kids will do this regardless, and have done this regardless for much longer than the UK has had access to any type of video media.
The only difference is kids can now show their stupidity to the world… Which they have been able to do for the last 40 years to some extent. We don’t call a personal website broadcasting, because by no written definition could it be considered that. Neither is YouTube broadcast media, nor any internet thing (strictly speaking).
Neither is Tiktok, nor will be what comes after it, and so on.
Now we could change the definition of broadcast to mean any internet site or app and apply broadcast standards to it… but that just means the UK loses access to the Internet. No one would comply, because what power does a tiny island in perpetual economic decline have? If UK didn’t have any domestic advertisers sites would already ignore it.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Parents sue TikTok over child deaths allegedly caused by ‘blackout challenge’English
51·9 months agoIf you think harmful memes didn’t spread before the internet, then you really have no understanding of human behavior.
The blackout challenge or variants have been around since at least the 1970s in the US.

1·9 months agoIt’s a complete answer, it’s not the one you tried to bait out, but it’s a complete answer and it’s correct. You can be mad at yourself for not laying a good enough trap to get what you want, or simply for trying to defend one of the worst human beings in one of the worst political parties in the world; but you can’t be mad at getting a correct answer.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•UK: Authorities must be on high alert for transnational repression over China protest, rights group warnsEnglish
45·9 months agoThe UK has neither the right to free speech nor the right to protest without explicit permission from the government.
The UK, does, on the other hand have a massive manufacturing and tech deficit in literally all industries since leaving the EU, something China can fix overnight as long as they move away from Trump and the US who, let’s face it, will abandon them as soon as they stop being useful.

Compromising on monstrous things just makes you a monster. It does not make you better than anyone.
There is an objective base line of morality, crossing that is always bad, it’s better to tear down the government or die than compromise that way.
