sorry, but arent the crimes of their fathers the sole basis for our worshipping them, allowing tbem political power and sending the pricks millions upon millions of tax payer pounds?
you dont reckon its a little disingenuous to complain about people shitting on their heritage when said heritage is the entire argument for their existence
i actively want the UKs overseas influence to wane
i dont think that one comes from white people
thats awesome
who are you
if rehabilitation is possible, there is no real benefit to society to just keep folks in prison indefinitely, and in fact refusing to accept change for the better disincentivises folks from doing so
besides this just being false, her being considered an easy target is still pretty unambiguously influenced by society’s unfavourable view of trans folks
this isnt false, but it still feels a bit off to frame the female murderer as being way more accepting of trans folks
“i had to go through miserable bullshit so you have to too” is not doing what you think its doing
i mean, with the amount of effort this took even a single quick glance resulting in a miss would be a pretty big win
its a silly idea but theres hardly any reason not to try it
not to mention that its probably still pretty effective in low visibility situations
“a naval blockade without weapons”, also known as ‘asking nicely to pwease stop’
i can excuse hiring mercenaries to rough a guy up for leaking cards, but using AI art is a step too far!
man i wish there were some way to test that theory
maybe we could do sort of a ‘stopping the ongoing genocide’ test run, see how they respond
and then keep it going indefinitely because genocide is bad
sounds like they need to put some pep in their step stopping the ongoing genocide then

I do not see compulsory military service as forced labour, not by a long shot.
performing labour or 6 months of jail does sound completely unforced
A country that offers equal rights, universal healthcare and free education for all citizens, amongst many other tax-paid services.
i am so glad that you have all of that
If you do not see your own country worth serving, I feel sad for you
i said nothing about whether i see my own country as worth serving, but your pity is appreciated
I would gladly give my life to protect mine
and youll continue to have the option to do so regardless of whether your government continues to threaten its citizens into doing so
@oakey66@lemmy.world raised the fair point that opposing a weapons deal is not the same as opposing funding
he’s been very weak on the ceasefire demand up until very recently.
this isnt relevant to whether sanders has pushed for blocking funding to israel
he’s talked about blocking arm sales
blocking arms sales not being the same as blocking funding is fair, however:
He has not called for an end to the sending of money to Israel
is at least misrepresentative
even if it was in response to specific bills as opposed to a complete and total cut, he has explicitly spoken out against bills funding israel, and saying ‘the United States should not be complicit in (the actions of Israel)’ in oplosition to a specific bill is still hard to read as anything but a call to cut funding of israel in general
The issue is you’re confusing compulsory labour with forced labour.
seems like a you problem, what with you talking about compulsory labour while i explicitly said forced labour
If you don’t do conscription or civil service work (the alternative option) the consequences are a fine, or jail.
“youre not forced to do it, you just get tossed in jail if you dont do it”
In countries at high risk of conflict (eg Taiwan), it’s practically required for their continued short-term existence.
if a country can only motivate its people to actually protect said country by threatening them into doing so, it didnt actually deserve protection
and just stops people discussing the actual pros and cons of the practice.
good, i do not want people discussing the actual pros of slavery
what does that even mean? ‘ok he supports a genocidal ethnostate, but its only cause of power projection in the middleeast’
