This new demand could actually be a cool way for them to redirect some English-language staff from TikTok.

Although he's being opportunistic here, Labour is actually being the one to call leftists "woke and antisemitic".

This petition comes after Labour backing down on even their most milquetoast promises and enacting the same austerity, transphobic and warmongering program of the Tories, but this time red.

Personally, I'd be happy to see them go as the current Blairite leadership is materially equivalent to the Conservative party for both the British and international working class. Possibly it'll be a chance for Corbyn's new pro-Palestine faction to make some gains.

In July Mr Putin doubled the federal bonus for those signing up to fight from 195,000 roubles ($2,200) to 400,000 roubles, which regional authorities are supposed to top up. The government is committing vast sums on compensation to the families of those killed in action. And Russia’s splurge goes beyond war-related spending. Mr Putin is lavishing money on welfare payments: in June he raised pensions for some recipients by close to 10%. The government is also spending big on infrastructure, including a highway from Kazan to Yekaterinburg, two cities 450 miles (729km) apart. Indeed, it is spending on pretty much whatever takes its fancy. Mikhail Mishustin, the prime minister, recently boasted about a government scheme to pay for children to holiday in Crimea.

"Lavishing" on pensions. Imagine trying to paint that as a bad thing. Wonder how Yankees feel when they find out that the country they're blowing hundreds of billions on to wage useless wars has free healthcare too.

Browsing reactionary spaces, seems they're trying to brew the theory that the secret service purposefully let this happen, or though sheer incompetence. Wait a week and they'll start saying the secret service was compromised by Biden.

surprising reasons

It's the material conditions of working class Statesians again. How surprising.

I hate how suicide is treated as some mysterious issue by the bourgeois media. How hard is it to think that maybe making life easier and worth living would make more people want to stay alive?

Every time a liberal politician says "we have to be practical" about implementing basic social welfare such as higher minimum wage or universal healthcare, remember that they are explicitly weighing the amount of people who will die or kill themselves without those things.

As one author puts it:

“Suicide hotline crisis numbers and efforts to help people at the individual level are all amazing and necessary, but our work shows that higher-level, institutional interventions are also critical in addressing this crisis,” said Simon. “Giving a person a job or proper health care can also be a suicide-prevention tool.”

Managed to get access, here's the paper in catbox.

What always annoyed me about Democrats defending Biden is when they lean on calling it ableism or ageism. Apparently he did have a stutter when he was young, and that was used to explain some of his earlier gaffes.

Problem is, this still assumes the guy still "deserves" to be president, despite clearly being awful at it, stutter or no stutter, old or young. If the job description is basically just doing inspiring speeches and press conferences, and the guy can't do it, it's not ableist to want some other person.

But even worse, it ignores that Biden will never face the true horror of being disabled or old while working class. He would never had been at risk of losing his home, starving or even being arrested or institutionalised had he lost the election, because he's rich and connected.

By using the aesthetics of fighting ableism, but ignoring the material conditions of most disabled people, liberals made a mockery of it all.

Difference is we only "got rid" of Bolsonaro through waiting out on bourgeois electoral and judicial procedures.

This is much bigger, a national strike right at the beginning of his term. I'd say this is a masterclass in what we should've done with Bolsonaro right away and avoided national disgraces like hundreds of thousands of dead to COVID.

One commenter on the RT article put it very well.

Anything else I wish here for the Northwest will probably be a crime.

Not sure if this Chrome thing also applies to mobile, but this is as good time as any to remind people that you can now install uBlock Origin (and many other useful extensions) on the android firefox app.

People over here sound so much like CK2 players that I get flashbacks to the thrashfire Pagan Fury dlc soundtrack. "You don't understand, they're fighting a genocide! Which is why we must conscript and self-genocide the entirety of Ukraine to prevent the separatist half of Ukraine from being genocided by their allies!"

I'm quoting again:

The new draft law on the mobilization of workers is intended to "ensure the functioning of the national economy under martial law", in the words of those drafting the law. It is noteworthy that in early August, Ukraine began to talk about a likely ban against military conscripts leaving the country for three years following an eventual end to military hostilities and martial law. Just such a proposal was recently made by Vadym Denysenko [...], head of the Ukrainian Institute for the Future and a former advisor to the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs. Denysenko said, "I am sure that even after the war it will be necessary to extend the ban on men traveling abroad for at least another three years. Otherwise, we simply will not survive as a nation."

Please illuminate me in your wisdom, how banning people from leaving while conscripting them to either fight in the front or forced labour is not a form slavery. Whose lives are being saved by arresting people trying to flee the country?

What a spez move. Pre-emptively de-federating is just a bad move, no other way to look at it. They're a very diverse group and generally much kinder than most lemmy users. At the very least you should've tested federation for a day or two to see how the interactions play out. But anybody here can go over there and see for themself how nice they can be even when disagreeing, which they do a lot among themselves.

Also where in the Code of Conduct does it say the only ideology allowed is liberalism? Going the way of Reddit with vague justifications and arbitrary decisions will make the administration a lot of profit some day, but there's a reason people left that one.
