Consequence? Israel seems to be doing fine

The way blahaj works is downvotes don’t federate, only upvotes. I like it better that way.

The headline says “Europe” not the EU.

All the better if they can use foreign troops in the meat grinder. Like Russia has been using North Korean troops for.

Well the UK just cut disability benefits.

France is cutting support for chronically ill people.

The swiss government is planning on removing disability benefits for young people…

Those banker goblins were a bit of a jew face.

Bezos just looks like terrible rich person.

What do you mean “is there proof”.

MBFC isnt some professional shit. It’s some guys opinions about websites.

It’ll call something like the economist which has endorsed the UK conservative party in the past decade “center left” for not being straight up facist.

It’s not a very high quality thing.

It’s funny though, because despite some leftover socialist aesthetic its hard to get more capitalist. I mean it’s pretty obvious state capitalism. You can’t have billionaires 80 years into your “socialist project”.

There’s no US military stationed in Taiwan. The closest US bases are in Okinawa and the Philippines.

The only “military” the US has in Taiwan are some training consultants for the taiwan army, there’s no boots on the ground.

What’s so sad about Hong Kong is I know we’re probably all going to watch this go down again in Taiwan.

There is news that’s way more well done than BBC, like the intercept, byline times, propublica etc

Decent News Service? The BBC is at best problematic.

(This literally does happen everywhere)

I don’t think that’s a completely fair comparison. They are both state tools for establishing power through narratives. They are both heavily biased.

But RT is Orwellian in that it just makes shit up and has no respect for even appearing credible. While RFE/RFL tends to be biased towards publishing pro-western stories, but they don’t tend to make shit up from scratch.

Of course, who knows what the fuck is happening there right now, my analysis is pre-Trump 2024.

The United Kingdom government has just published draft legislation seeking to “reform” key disability-related aspects of its complex social security system. While the government claims its moves “will protect the most vulnerable,” in reality its plans to cut £4.5 billion in disability-linked benefits by 2030 will have a devastating impact on people’s rights.

The government’s own analysis shows that up to 800,000 people will no longer be eligible to receive PIP and that the changes could lead to 200,000 more people (50,000 of them children) in poverty by 2030. Organizations working on social security and disability rights, including Citizens Advice, the Disability Charities Consortium, and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, have warned of the poverty the cuts will create.

TIL “damn” is an insult.

I thought it was just an intensifier.

García Soto is the second mayor to be killed in Oaxaca state this year. In May, the mayor of Santiago Amoltepec was shot dead in an ambush along with two other people who were in the car with him at the time of the attack.

*she/her, the mayor was a women.
