Just do it already!

But next, I’d really like banks to consider the idea that it isn’t bad for business to say “tyrant’s money isn’t necessarily safe here”.

Do you think I condone horrible things done “in the name of God”? As if God asked us to just be horrible to each other, lol.

What about the bibble?

It’s very much a matter of degrees and there’s no doubt that Israel is much higher on the immorality scale, compared to most other (“civilised Western” or not) countries.

Also, as a monotheist - presumably of one of the larger denominations - you are throwing stones in a glasshouse here.

Can’t hurt to quote a bit more:

— joining Adalah’s existing list of now more than 100 Israeli laws that discriminate against Palestinian citizens.

One of the report’s central findings is a sweeping assault on freedom of expression, thought, and protest across a wide array of arenas. It includes laws prohibiting the publication of content that includes “denial of the events of October 7,” as determined by the Knesset, and restricting broadcasts of critical media outlets that “harm state security.”

Another authorizes the Education Ministry to fire teaching staff and withdraw funding from educational institutions based on views it considers expression of support for, or incitement to, a terrorist act or organization. And alongside a state-led campaign to deport international solidarity activists, a third law bars foreign nationals from entering the country if they have made statements critical of Israel, or have appealed to international courts to take action against the state and its officials.

But perhaps the most dangerous bill is one that targets citizens who merely seek to consume information from sources the state doesn’t like. Just a month after October 7, the Knesset passed a two-year temporary order — renewed last week for another two years — that outlaws the “systematic and continuous consumption of publications of a terrorist organization,” carrying a one-year prison sentence. In other words, the legislature now criminalizes conduct that takes place entirely within a person’s private space.

All happening silently while the public is busy wrapping their heads around more overt government activity. Sound familiar?

Sounds like they haven’t had sufficient funds to keep it in good repair, yet they’re announcing that after decomissioning the ISS they will launch their own Russia-only space station. Baloney?

Anyhow I feel they’re busy with other things right now and launching astronauts is not their #1 priority. But this could point to Russia’s economy/society crumbling more and more, so it’s still a net positive.

The only thing that really pisses me off here is that it will most likely play into Musky Melon’s hand.

How mildly they complain. Soon they will realize that it will lead exactly nowhere. I hope they do it a bit louder then.

Not that I care. As they themselves say, they did not think. Duh. And they’re being very egocentric, still unable to show empathy. All par for the MAGA course and exactly what got us here in the 1st place.

Also, this being from reddit, chances are high it’s fake.

I don’t see this article specifically as positive news - maybe for China, but not for the rest of us.

Asking “which is better, PRC or USA?”

yeah, no shit fewer and fewer people choose the USA.

Fucking idiotic poll.

But that doesn’t mean that I don’t see what China is doing - spreading propaganda & money & influence everywhere.

Preference for China strongly correlates with age: the younger the respondent, the more likely they are to welcome Chinese leadership

This was my impression too, esp. right here in the Lemmyverse.
