If the international boxing community can't form a new international governing body by early 2025 it will not be in the 2028 olympics. I'm assuming it will be the same for every olympics after that until they form something

That's why the best solution is to sell alcohol to minors and hold it for them until they're old enough to own it

Either Dmitry Medvedev or Daniil Medvedev (tennis player) have to change their name because this isn't the first time I've thought a tennis player was calling for war

Just cause the post-Cold War government sucks and there were Nazi collaborators present doesn't mean there aren't/weren't anti-imperialist figures from those nations. The Baltic SSRs couldn't have existed without local Communist parties run by people from the Baltics. Just look through the leadership of those parties, for example Johannes Lauristin.

Also don't forget Disco Elysium was made in the Baltics and is influenced by how bleak these countries feel for the people who still believe in a better future

This genuinely might be more of a PR blow to Israel than if they just got kicked out initially

You can see the there too in Mar 2021. Looks like the volume has actually been reduced close to those levels which is crazy

I don't know if this was already mentioned or if it got lost in the shuffle of all the other news going on, but on October 10th a deal for the creation of the new Slovak government was announced. The deal includes the 2 Social Democratic parties SMER-SD and HLAS-SD which as you may remember supported lowering Slovakian commitments to Ukraine and opposed the current western consensus on the war. To form government though the parties have formed a coalition with SNS, a neo-fascist party that has praised Nazi aligned leader Josef Tiso and advocated for the killings of Roma and Hungarians in Slovakia. Once again we see that Social Democrats are the left wing of fascism

Sorry for posting more about but the representative that I mentioned yesterday who was being censured by the government for supporting Palestine is now serving the premier of Ontario with a cease and desist and the premier claimed the rep is

And redditors are clamouring about how suing the premier is a bad political move and an example of how the left supports antisemitism. They actually can't understand someone having beliefs outside of political maneuvering and supporting whatever is convenient at the moment

Just last week the media in Canada was talking about how the Conservative Party had a new base of support in Muslim immigrants as they both opposed inclusion of LGBT issues in education. (How much of this support was real versus manufactured by the media I can't say). This led to a lot of liberals showing their true colours, dehumanising and insulting Muslims in Canada. But now with the Palestine conflict coming front and centre in the media cycle, I wonder if the inherent split between the Conservatives' interests and their supposed base of Muslim support has become apparent faster than expected. While many conservatives never stopped being xenophobic I think pundits were hoping they could keep it on the down low until the next election. However with many Canadians publically making calls for genocide in Palestine, that ship has sailed

I like that this thread and the other megathread don't seem to get much traffic from other instances. It's refreshing to come in here and read conversations about world news without having to argue with random libs
