I use Voyager also. Which app are they referring to? I like Voyager but haven’t used many apps for lemmy.

How can you do that? I use Voyager.

I love this post. Thanks for sharing all that!

Can’t make salami without grinding meat I guess. As dark as that sounds. I thank every soul who’s been fighting against that thugtatorship.

Prevent them from leaving by offering better… How does this not further the idea of ‘well eff this place, bye!’

To be like their own? Uh-huh. Because they’re so well known for the compassion and understanding. 🤣 🪷☸️📿🤲🙇

Let’s do a check in with Tibet and also the Uyghurs… Or their own people… Or Taiwan… Or…

Tämän vuoden hyttyset ovat ihan helvetin kauheita. 💀🦟

Mitch McConnell, Manchin, Shkrelli, Ben Shapiro… I suppose you have a point.

Education.

No for real, a lot of right-wing thinking comes from just parroting disinformation and being in their own echo chamber circles.

Educated people are more likely to ‘lean left’:

Environment: Higher education institutions often emphasize critical thinking, questioning of traditional norms, and exposure to diverse perspectives. This can lead individuals to adopt more progressive or liberal views.

Diversity: College and university settings are typically more diverse, exposing students to different cultures, ideas, and lifestyles.

Rationalism: Educated individuals may place a higher value on scientific reasoning and empirical evidence, which can align more with policies and positions typically associated with the left, such as support for climate change action and public health initiatives.

Perspective: Higher education can lead to an understanding of economic inequality and systemic issues. Educated individuals might support policies aimed at reducing inequality and improving social welfare.

Career: Many educated individuals work in fields such as academia, healthcare, and social services, where left-leaning values like equity, public good, and social justice are prevalent.

Generational: Younger generations, who are more likely to be college-educated today than in the past, tend to have more progressive views on social issues, such as LGBTQ+ rights and racial equality.

Education is also ‘pushed’ by a lot of adults when I was a kid. I thought it was kinda normal / lame because duh, of course it’s important. I didn’t get grasp deepl WHY until I was older and realized it’s really a root causal issue of today’s problems.

The New York Times quoted Bibi on this:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel condemned the report, saying in a statement that the country’s military “is the most moral army in the world, and no delusional decision by the U.N. will change that.”

Who’s delusional… 🤨 Most Moral Army… Uh huh. Kill those women and children. Moral my ass.

It’s not antisemitic for criticizing Bibi. Especially that he’s acting like an asshole dictator.

Just to chime in. I was interested to randomly see in my feed the other day about how divorce between an American husband and Japanese wife, is at a lower rate than is between Japanese citizens.

I found it interesting that some cultures might be slightly more compatible with each other.

Anyway.

This is 100% overblown. It’s also the same article circulating. This type of crap is to sell newspaper subscriptions.

Yeaaaah they were not calling out you specifically… xD They’re saying: “Why would Biden do this?”

Correct. While there is little to no progress on it, officially I believe they are still trying to be. That said, I was definitely thinking about NATO when I wrote that. Apologies for the mistake.

Throw in Turkey too.

How Turkey became Putin’s ‘pit stop’ for selling camouflaged fuel to the EU

Moscow bagged €3 billion through a sanctions loophole that allows Turkey to relabel Russian oil and ship it to the EU.

It’s like Bernie Sanders said:

“But please, do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal policies of your extremist and racist government. … It is not antisemitic to hold you accountable for your actions.”

Sanders hits back at Netanyahu: ‘It is not antisemitic to hold you accountable’

Why is Turkey in NATO? 😒

Still verify when you can. AI will get better at spitting out graphics like this.

Did Germany call the Chinese Ambassador to Germany in for a chat too? Seems fucked for the perpetrator to dog whistle her over to explain why SPYING IS NOT TOLERATED. 🤦‍♂️

Yes I think the government is one of the ‘big sponsors’ for him. Even if he dislikes the government 🙄.

I imagine it’s deeeefinitely in their best interests to ‘manage Elon’.

“Sorry Elon we wanted to introduce you to the hardworking rocket scientists, but they hate you and would rather jump off a bridge than be in a room with you. Soooo, we made some nice snacks and joints, and there’s a hot tub you can use too. Doesn’t that sound nicer than belittling people and causing chaos? Yeah? Good? Good. Aww ok you want Ice cream too. Thats ok, just stay away from Mission Control sweety.”
