Yup. That’s what happens when we hand over all the power to a few people.

We get excited when those priviledged people, who are literally the ones who oppress us, make choices that helps us a little.

What? I’m guessing Taiwan isn’t a real country. People in Hong Kong didn’t have right to self determination.

The bulletts in fired on the Indian border were fake news?

Thanks for copypasting. It should be criminal to share a clickbait non-descriptive headline without atleast copying a couple paragraphs for context.

Yeah it’s not even close.

The state wants to keep its monopoly on violence.

As a long COVID advocate, we’ve tried and tried sharing our stories and all we get is ridicule and “why didn’t you try acupuncture and exercise”. So we’re starting to focus more on the economic impacts as the average person seems to actually care about that.

(so she’s on probation for two years in practice, better than nothing I guess.)

“sound” is a big word, for a justice system that perpetuates state violence and mistreats immigrants and disabled people.

But yes, the french system is more successful at holding politicians accountable than the US.

That’s how it was back in the day. When you walked over a couple of villages you’d have to change your watch by 3 minutes.

That even includes lemmy with 50k MAU.

will be?

They already have — quite successfully.

Lets say you live in a white neighbourhood in south africa. You are upper class. Your parents, and you as a child benefitted from a system which extracted the labour of black people and let the white upper class take the profits. Your parents were part of this system. Extracting black labour on the farmlands they owned.

There is a counterpart to you. Poor black people in your generation who grew up poor because their parents labour had its rewards extracted and given to parents like yours.

It does make sense in a system like that that some land previously owned by the white labour extractors should be redistributed to those whose poverty is a direct consequence of their parents oppression. This is broadly a correction of structural inequalities.

So perhaps your parents farmlands would have bits of them redistributed. I think that’s fair. (Perhaps they are technically your farmlands now that your parents have died, I still think that’s fair part of them get redistributed).

What doesn’t make sense is punishing poor white individuals for the way upper class whites oppressed non-whites.

you can tweak the weights though

And they are winning.

This is great. Now he’ll be able to use giving the plans to Xi as a bargaining chip for a couple more tesla factories in China.

Who would have thought. (Literally everyone)

Propaganda is describing how authoritarian countries treat their minorities, apparently.

Doesn’t work for me. I don’t have “plain” android but a specific type that’s compatible with my eink screen.

Chromium gestures work fine though.

Is there any firefox based browser on android where I can have easy gestures for the arrow buttons? All the firefox versions I can find require me to do this in two clicks which for the way I browse is a pain in the arse. Can I fix this somehow?
