Nice!

Does not sound as good as yours though, hahaha
What about the Hobble…, half-hobbyte…?
42·1 month ago“We are horrified by this deadly event, which shows once again that nowhere is safe,” said MSF on social media.
The images out of Rafah on Sunday included videos of tents being engulfed in flames and charred corpses, and one showed a man holding up what appeared to be the body of a small child who had been beheaded. NBC News reported that it “was not able to independently verify the situation on the ground.”
“This U.S.-backed massacre of civilians is a direct result of the Biden administration’s enduring political and military support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza,” said Nihad Awad, national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, on Monday. “The Palestinian child shown without a head would still be alive today had our government not offered Israel’s far-right government unceasing support for the slaughter of Palestinian civilians and the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Those who support genocide are just as guilty as those who drop American-supplied bombs on civilians.”
As major news outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post buried the news of the attack under unrelated stories, journalist Mehdi Hasan condemned the silence of the Biden administration and the “U.S. political and media establishments.”
Jan Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council, directed ire at European Union leaders who have continued to back Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, demanding to know “how many more red lines must be crossed before the E.U. decides to act?”
“The U.S. government has facilitated this genocide by continuously sending weapons and funding to the Israeli military, despite mass opposition from the American people,” the group added. “We hold the U.S. government, in addition to the Israeli government, responsible for the slaughter of over 36,000 Palestinians, for the siege and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza, and for mass destruction of infrastructure and land. We demand an end to all U.S. funding to the Israeli military now. People of conscience throughout the world are calling for an end to genocide.”
pretty sure when this mofo released classified information,there are innocent people who died because of his act.
I would suggest to do your own research and look into independent sources.
This are just smears and propaganda used against him, by the duopoly and legacy media, so as to make him look like the bogeyman.
571·2 months agoInteresting question!
It seems to also show up in the first episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show [2].
After thinking a bit on it and reading about it, I would go with neither would go to jail.
It is better for a criminal to get away with murder than to have an innocent person go to jail for that crime.
It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.
AKA Blackstone’s ratio
There are some other possible solutions to the problem, however. You might throw both twins in prison but treat only the guilty one as if he were a convict. When the siblings were released, for example, the good twin would have all the rights of a normal citizen, while the evil twin would have lost the right to vote, be registered as a sex offender, etc. You might even compensate the good twin according to the relevant payout rules for wrongful convictions. (Those who were wrongly incarcerated for a federal crime can get up to $50,000 per year, or $100,000 if they were on death row.)
All of the above assumes that one twin is unambiguously guilty, and the other is unambiguously innocent. In real life, it’s hard to imagine such a clear-cut case. For example, a jury might be inclined to believe that the “good” twin acted as an accomplice, or perhaps an accessory, to the crime after the fact. This charge would apply if one sibling knew that the other had committed a crime—which seems likely under any circumstances—and that he intentionally provided assistance or comfort to his sibling rather than calling the police at the first opportunity. If the good twin were convicted of an accessory crime in federal court, he’d be subject to at most half the prison term appropriate to his evil brother. In some states, however, it’s legal to harbor a fugitive if that person happens to be your sibling.
One more way that a “good” twin might be convicted, even if he took no part in the actual committing of the crime: In some states, he might be found guilty of not stopping his brother. Although as a general rule, common-law tradition dictates that you can’t be held accountable for something you didn’t do, 10 states have so-called “duty to rescue” statutes. These require innocent bystanders to call the police or reasonably attempt to aid a victim in distress. (In four of these states, siblings of the offender are exempt from the law.) If one twin tried to stab someone, the other might be expected to grab his arm or drag both of them to the ground. The penalty for failing to rescue is usually a fine, though some jurisdictions allow for up to a year in prison.
I believe that within our Constitutional framework, the only thing to be done in this situation is to release the conjoined twins. Even if the jury sentenced the conjoined twins to death, the court would have to commute the sentence and release the twins. The guarantees of due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments prohibit punishing an innocent actor.
He asks the important question: “Which do we hold higher, the punishment of an innocent life or freeing a guilty one?”
Many have spoken of this for a while, moslty seen yt videos on subject.
Notable one is Richard Wolff, another is Chris Hedges, but his show got canceled again for talking against status quo, hopefully he goes independent!
Thanks for sharing!
I did not recognize source:
Deutsche Welle (DW) is Germany’s international broadcaster and one of the most successful international media outlets. We provide impartial news and information, giving people worldwide the opportunity to form their own opinions, assess issues of local and global significance and participate in social debates as active and informed citizens.

I do not think that is a healthy way of looking at the world.
The working class are just pawns in these never ending wars we somehow keep finding ourselves in.
This is all [due] to the owner class pushing for more profits and more infighting within the working class.
The real war should be the class war!
I would be really careful when labeling it in that way.
If Iran nuked Israel, the US would join in even more and retaliate for Israel, since most of our gov’t and politicians get some form of donations or help from AIPAC and such.
This would start WWIII at a much quicker rate than what it currently is, not to mention Russia and China would also have to join in.
Zionists would be a better word, IMO, force a ceasefire and sanction Israel would be the minimum.
Regime change does not work.
Just look at our track record in Middle East, Africa, Latin America.
It does force mass immigration, famine, violence, and much more in the regions though.
We must contine to grow as humans, let us keep lesrning and teaching as we head to the future!
Chinese President Xi Jinping is on his first trip to Europe in five years, which is likely to be dominated by Russia’s war in Ukraine as well as economic strains between Beijing and Brussels.
The first stop will be France, with Xi due to hold talks in Paris on May 6 with French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, before travelling south to the Pyrenees.
After that, he will travel to Serbia and Hungary, two countries that have maintained close ties with Russia despite its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
But the trip also comes amid a deteriorating global security climate, with the war in Ukraine now into its third year and at least 34,683 Palestinians killed in Israel’s ongoing bombardment of Gaza.
Caring for working class people dying is being a Putin fan?
@iAmTheTot comments:
- Nah I’ll care about all humans now, thanks.
- I don’t have a direct line to Putin to take it up with him.
2a. Valuing human life isn’t coming across as approval of Putin’s actions, is it? Cause that would be a weird conclusion to draw, imho.
- Yes, I think it is weird. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is unconscionable and tragic. This view does not conflict with expressing remorse that 100 human beings were killed in the blink of an eye. The fact that you think holding the latter opinion means the person must be making a political statement is sad.
Owner class will always make more wars for working class people to die, US does the same.
We must not forget humans are being killled due to more endless wars that are pushed by the owner class.
Owner class and their lackeys will always root for: Profit over people.

Civil war between field slaves and house slaves.
Reminds me of this song:
Civil War (w/ lyrics) - Immortal Technique feat. Killer Mike, Brother Ali & Chuck D
Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.
Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?
Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?
Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.
Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.
As some peeps in the US say: “NATO is a terrorist organization.”
Just more pushing China and Russia together, while better for our military companies for WW3, much profits to be had.
China’s hostility to Nato is part of the reason why Beijing has maintained its support for Moscow since the invasion of Ukraine. Xi’s visit will “remind the world that although China and Serbia are geographically separated by the Eurasian continent, they share the same security interests. We need to strengthen our cooperation to overcome the security threats from the US and Nato,” Shen says.
You do have a great point that I have heard before from a political commentator, boycotts affect a fanchise and their owners which in turn affects the local community.
Thanks for taking the time to explain!
What does your comment mean?
I am not sure of “More Riders” means in this context…
Thank you!

Thanks for posting about how China and Russia relations have increased, it reminded me that I need to watch the interview where Proffessor Richard Wolff talks about China and Russia, and to also post it on lemmy!

Another Hamas official, Ahmad Abdelhadi, said that the group was sticking to its demand that Israel agree to a long-term cease-fire and that leaks about the talks were designed to pressure Hamas to soften its position.
“We are not interested in engaging with what’s been floated, because it does not fulfill our demands,” Mr. Abdelhadi said Tuesday in a televised interview with al-Mayadeen, a Lebanese broadcaster.
