We all know that women’s rights are more important, silly!

The screaming about low birth rate is because corporations want to keep a high labor pool so they can drive down the price of labor while keeping up demand for consumption.
It’s not only that. By the time you want to retire, there won’t be enough people to pay taxes for your retirement fund. With more young people than old, that is less of a problem.
Can’t wait for World War 4 because some white nazi woman wins an election. It will shut up the feminists who believe women are better than men. Women are just as human and just as shit.
“We cannot be outnumbered by immigrants!” *die out because their own population won’t make babies*
Depends on how Sweden reacts to Russian troops on the island. If they react weakly, Russia would take advantage of it. Probably Russia isn’t that dumb to fuck around and find out though…
I forgot about personal greed! Very much a possibility.
What in the world was Egypt thinking? 🤔 How would they profit from something this foolhardy?
Who does the island belong to? Wouldn’t Russian invasion be akin to an act of war?
Netanyahu has an arrest warrant? Oh, this is great!
And the west will take another year to respond.
As long as somebody dies and not this dude’s fuck trophy, it’s alright 👌
Where in the post did OP state that thye cared about operating systems?
A little far from Sarajevo to start a world war, but still… oh oh…
Who is “they” and “nipping” it sounds like you’re suggesting would be to flood the (at the time) half corrupt country half Russian owned country with Western weapons to untrained people
The Western powers, but mostly Western Europe. The Baltic states and Poland were very wary of Russia and there multiple news articles of them fearing a Russian invasion (Lithuania 2017).
Gearing up NATO for a possible invasion to actually increase military spending for secure Baltic borders, stockpiling arms and weapons, as well as gradually much harsher sanctions for Russia together with increasing economic distancing - aka a strong response, could’ve shown Russia who not to trifle with. The former USSR states said multiple times that Russia wouldn’t recognize much apart force.
The Nord Stream pipeline was beyond idiotic. After signing the Paris agreement in 2015, agreeing to get more gas into the EU and from Russia of all parties, was just dumb. The dependency created was more on European side than Russian side.
Russia started testing its own internet and tried producing its own chips for Russian “independence”, but after the annexation how could that not be interpreted as preparation for disconnection from Western tech?
Probably the situation was complex back then and even more complex today, but the reality is that to many people the attack on Ukraine was not a surprise but a matter of time.
He’s ranting about windows or mac users, right?
The West let it happen. They didn’t arm Ukraine quickly enough, nor did they do much of anything to help Ukraine in the decade before. Instead they became closer pals with Russia after the annexation and even more dependent. Had they nipped this in the bud more than a decade ago, Russia wouldn’t have had the means nor the will to invade Ukraine.
Europe and the USA need to ramp up production of military assets as if it’s wartime and help Ukraine defend itself, instead of twiddling their thumbs and asking themselves if Putin is really serious while Ukraine soldiers lose their lives.
They are too confused and attacking those less fortunate than them (aka other workers). All while the rich laugh at us.
Look at the poors fighting each other about immigration, feminism, racism, taxes, political ideology, religion, sports, hobbies, nationality, and getting riled up about whatever we shove into the news 🤣 They are all just the same to us: human resources to be exploited and distracted to be controlled more easily.
Putting them all together seems like a double-edged sword, no?
