‘Don’t worry about me. I’m fine’: Kremlin critic Navalny from Arctic jail
  • Why?

    What does that impossible thought experiment achieve?

    I could just tell people to have nuance and not fall prey to idolising a right wing bigot who is less shit than the right wing bigot that imprisoned him?

    Again this message is to those outside of Russia, some random thought experiment that goes nowhere but to continue this conversation and give you the ego to go "well ackshually" means shit all in the scheme of things.

    WW2 weekly ration of sugar, tea, margarine, 'national butter', lard, eggs, bacon and cheese for an adult in the UK, WW2, 1942
  • Depends at what point during rationing, but it wouldn't be too hard to get coffee at all. And even then you had the lucrative black market. You would obviously be worse off than your peers who liked tea though.

  • I'm not on Lemmy to convince Russians about what opinion they should hold tho. I'm stating an opinion about the matter on a public forum not exclusively for Russians.

    We shouldn't delude ourselves on the outside that this is a good person, even if he is an improvement on the current leadership. That is my point, because you see this time and time again, to the point that the outside world starts to essentially simp for the slightly less shit person.

  • I don't see why it is useless to apply the standards of developed countries, if you're a right wing shithead with horrible views, you're a right wing shithead with horrible views. Just because you are imprisoned by a bigger shithead doesn't excuse your views or actions.

    We ofc should keep advocating for his release under spurious charges that he finds himself under as we should across the world.

  • Completely agree, its a waste of useful talents that has through one reason or another has not been influenced in the right direction.

    Israel hits Bethlehem in Christmas raids on occupied West Bank
  • You do realise that's not what the person above said. What the people actually worship in Bethlehem itself means Jack shit to the opinion of the wider world that Bethlehem, the birthplace of the saviour of the Wests biggest religion, was attacked by Israeli forces on the date celebrated as his birthday.

  • My GF works with autistic individuals and for a majority of them they simply cannot lie, at least not big lies. He may not even see it as being that wrong (probably does know to some extent that it is wrong), especially with all the (correct) rhetoric that companies are scum bastards obscuring the truth. The kid is indeed unhireable for the time being but he could be helped to understand the morals, ethics and laws surrounding his interests to integrate him into the capitalistic world he finds himself in.

    Elon Musk "We dug our own grave with 'FULL SELF DRIVING""
  • I always thought he was legit because he would post great "science" debunking videos and shat on dumb brexiteers. So when I watched the Anita ones I felt the same. Gonna need to watch the hbomber vidya.

    If we're reviving everything then start with Mythbusters
  • But it is culturally important due to how many people watched it and reference it and it did get kids into STEM, just because it is flawed in other ways do not discount those two facts.

    I need Rule
  • Are you then not a leftist for supporting a far right wing extremely religious organisation that only exists to destroy Jewish presence in the region. Hamas are no liberators for Palestinians, they are simply using them as a tool. That is equally traitorous to leftism as supporting Israel. The people that matter are fucked either way, just in different ways.
