  • Zelensky won't announce elections on war anniversary amid talks of US-driven timeline

  • What a devious plotter! He made Russia invade his country so that he could become a dictator. Genius!

  • Half a millennia of near endless military conquests and civil wars. What’s not to love?

    You changed the subject.

    Because your liberal reformists consolidated enormous powers in the executive branch. Again. You keep giving governments the ability to end elections and entrench themselves indefinitely. That’s exactly what it will do, every time.

    What a ridiculous thing to write in the context of this discussion. Martial law was not enacted via self-coup. The Ukrainian executive did not wake up one nice morning, realize it had some kewl powers and thought let's enact martial law so that we can entrench ourselves. It was enacted when a foreign power invaded. It will be revoked the moment Russian soldiers return the fuck back to Russia.

  • And how’d that work out?

    Given that the Roman Republic lasted for something like 480 years (509 – 27 BC) ? Pretty damn well thank you very much, that's a longer lifespan that any of our current republics (minus San Marino I guess).

    While in a state of martial law. A constitution re-written as recently as 2015, the year following Ukrainian Oligarch Petro Poroshenko’s ascension to power. You’re witnessing the end stages of the collapse of democracy in the country under a set of rules authorized barely a decade ago.

    Why is martial law currently in effect buddy? Can you think of anything that would guarantee the immediate revocation of martial law? Anything? Any ideas?

  • Fun fact: the original meaning of a dictatorship was precisely the case where the Romans extraordinarily appointed someone to have full authority to resolve a specific problem, such as when a serious threat the the state was present.

    The Ukrainian constitution says no elections while war. Zelensky does not hold any dictatorial authority beyond the one given to him by the Ukrainian people and laws when he was elected.

    If you are going to be mad at someone for straining Ukrainian democracy, be mad at the country invading it, and thus triggering the suspension of elections.

  • Britain’s High Court says government acted illegally in outlawing protest group Palestine Action

    Jump

  • You're being flippant but the truth is that the Green party is much closer to traditional Labour values than the neoliberal shits are.

    So, don't split the vote. Vote Green to keep the fascists out.

  • It's called being invaded and by definition, yea, it's kind of exceptional.

  • Which is why every single Labour voter should vote Green.

  • In Cuba, people go without food and power as U.S. chokes oil supply and tourists flee

    Jump

  • This is absolutely criminal. The world should stand up to the gangsters in Washington and run the illegal US embargo to deliver aid to Cuba.

  • Declassified data obtained through an FOI and published by Declassified UK reveals that as of March 2025, there were about 1,524 Canadians with Israeli citizenship actively serving in the IDF

  • I am concerned about the safety of Palestinian Canadians and other Muslim and Arab Canadians if these 1500 battle hardened Zionists are allowed to return to Canada without any kind of interview or follow up to ensure they are not war criminals.

  • 🔥AI wrongly tells user a fire alarm is just a drill

    Jump

  • That's assuming too much, though. One can post on Slack from their phone outside of the building. This is all we know:

    A colleague wrote to a Slack channel 'Fire alarm in the office building', to start a thread if somebody knows any details.

    Regardless, moon, not finger.

  • 🔥AI wrongly tells user a fire alarm is just a drill

    Jump

  • I came here to say that only an idiot would ask an AI to explain a fire alarm, but then I actually read the post and holy shit. It was an AI agent responding on slack. So yea, this is serious.

  • [Video] Hasan Piker says he will vote 3rd party if the Democrats run an establishment candidate in 2028

    Jump

  • Poisoned by repeatedly using the "explains a lot" dismissive and rude passive aggression, since your very first response to me.

    We're done.

  • See that's the problem. You've poisoned the space between us, I have no patience to engage with you further and have this discussion on the actual merits of the fucking political point which I would have liked to have in the first place. Do better by our community next time.

  • Hate the guy all you like. I'm not a fan either. But that's not what I was talking about. I was talking about the political point he made. You turned it into a debate about his character, and with the weird "explains much" shit, into a debate about my character. You could have said "that guy's a douche" and I'd have responded with "yup but the douche is making a good point". Instead you chose toxicity and vitriol. Maybe chill a bit.

  • The passive aggressive "explains much" angle you have now repeated twice is kind of weird.

  • You're judging his internal state of mind and disposition. I don't give a flipping fuck about it right now. Even if he is just a champagne socialist virtue signaling, the objectively observable thing is "popular influencer is putting a political blackmail of the dem establishment in the discourse agenda". Even under your set of assumptions his champaign socialist virtue signaling is not without real political impact.

    I mean fuck, an even shallower piece of nothing is sitting in the white house and his vapid brainfarts are for sure creating political impacts.
