they worship the dollar too and are headed right down the same fascism road the US is.
That wave has already crested in Canada/Aus/EU and is on the decline, in large part because the rest of us have seen the clusterfuck unfolding in the US and recided to do the opposite of whatever Americans are doing.
Yes, that’s why revolutions have only been successful in much smaller countries like Russia and China.
You’re right, just like the incessant comparisons between ICE and the Gestapo conveniently gloss over ICE’s much closer resemblance to slave catcher patrols. They refuse to admit this is a very, very old and well-established movement in their country. The problem is that they never decisively put down the Confederacy.
Nice try, CIA. Answering that question is how I got my Reddit account banned.
Yes, and tried it twice already (and failed, clearly) in 1775 and 1812, but we weren’t a country yet.
Ah yes, the tired old “not all men” argument. Nobody cares. If you’re not actively part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.
I guarantee you they’ve been modeling this since 1867 - they just haven’t broadcasted that fact before.
Canada should really do more in this regard.
People will do anything except the only thing that will actually work - stop using Twitter.
Why the fuck would any country pay this?
Same reason they would gift Trump an airplane?
Found Martok’s Lemmy account
He’s missing GWB for the full set of horsemen of the apocalypse.
I’m glad I’m not the only one - the article is disinformation, “fake news” in the purest sense.
AGreed. If rights aren’t applied even to those we hate, they aren’t rights, they’re privileges.
Did you know that obesity kills more people than cancer? That’s why we need to stop caring about cancer completely. Someone you know has cancer? Fuck them, because did I mention obesity is worse? We should only think about one thing at a time, and I get to decide what that thing is. Absolutely NOTHING should be done about cancer until not a single human being is obese.
I could also imagine Silvio Berlusconi doing this, and he was another deeply corrupt avuncular type.
I really, really hope the protesters succeed. Iran has such a glorious history and wonderful people - they deserve so much more. It could retake its place as the shining example of countries in the region, as it was for most of the last 5000 years.
Hell yes - as long as it still fits in my pocket. That was a prolem with some of the later Blackberry models.
I hope that isn’t actually the case because it would be egregious even for Rutte, a world champion in slobbering his orange Daddy’s knob.
