This is the elephant in the room no one wants to talk about.

Whether it's Iraq, Gaza, or Venezuela, there are no sanctions, travel bans, cultural boycotts, or exclusion from sporting events.

Because at the end of the day, the US sets the rules and the "International Community" has to follow.
The U.S. is a rogue state which should be sanctioned and condemned by the international community for our flagrant violations of international law and the peace of the world. We won't be, because imperialists tend to stick together.

What a horrible thing we keep doing, building spaces for communities, only to torch them so a small handful of millionaires can become billionaires, displacing the people who made them rich in the first place.

Tech companies are not seriously trying to build sustainable platforms or businesses. We are not the market anymore. Their market is investors and their sole business goal is duping as many gullible investors as they can this quarter.
my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

Wenn es gegen Arbeitslose geht, gegen Hilfsbedürftige, gegen Alleinerziehende, gegen die Schwachen, die sich nicht wehren können: Da ist Friedrich Merz mutig, da fehlt ihm nie der Schneid. Aber gegen die USA? Gegen die Mächtigen? Da wird die Sache ‚komplex', da fehlen die Worte. Was für eine Wurst.

Sept 1 1939: The Führer announces that Poland is a clear danger to the nation, and that "In order to put an end to this lunacy I have no other choice than to meet force with force. Since 5:45 a.m. we have been returning fire, and from now on bombs will be met by bombs."

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Q: You said that Maduro is responsible for drug trafficking. You recently pardoned the former president of Honduras who was convicted of drug trafficking. How are these situations different?

AfD jubelt, dass sie nicht mehr verboten werden könnte, weil Trump sie mit Sanktionen schützen würde. Wenn wir nur deshalb unsere Demokratie nicht retten können, weil fremde Mächte uns drohen, dann ist es nicht nur mit unserer Demokratie vorbei, sondern auch mit Unabhängigkeit. Dank den Faschisten.

Vor 50 Jahren wurde die Gurtpflicht beschlossen obwohl eine Mehrheit dagegen war.

Vor 18 Jahren wurde ein Rauchverbot in Innenräumen beschlossen obwohl eine Mehrheit dagegen war.

Und heute traut sich die Politik nicht ein Böllverbot zu beschließen obwohl eine Mehrheit dafür ist.

Warum ist das so?
