That would be very ambitious. It sounds dismissive but I wonder if anyone would care… we all seem content to focus on Palestine and ignore what’s happening in Africa. The countries of the world aren’t gushing with altruism unfortunately.

People pointed out that any financial support frees up budgets for offensive weapons and she changed her stance. (Or maybe it was the backlash in general.) I don’t know what votes have come up since.

I feel like most of his movies are like this.

He is impervious to doing good things. That early “concession” just couldn’t last.

This rhetoric always makes this place feel like stepping into Alice and Wonderland. It’s like when liberals pretend Taiwan is about democracy and not about shipping lanes. It’s just so transparent to people on the outside.

They lay the malefactor upon his belly, with his hands tied behind his back, then they slit up his fundament with a razor, and throw into it a handful of paste that they have in readiness, which immediately stops the blood. After that, they thrust up into his body a very long stake as big as a man’s arm, sharp at the point and tapered, which they grease a little before; when they have driven it in with a mallet, till it come out at his breast, or at his head or shoulders, they lift him up, and plant this stake very straight in the ground, upon which they leave him so exposed for a day.

They sorta just came out and said it. They think we’re “unhumans” that need to be killed. We’re not real humans so the law can’t protect us. JD Vance waved around a manifesto saying conservatives need to load up their muskets and ignore the rules. A lot of us believe them when they say they want us to die.
