I seriously hope the PLA isn't gonna stay idle if that happens. There has to be a limit to non-intervention.

It sounds like "Gremlin", so the liberals like it because it's spooky.

They should sue Germany too, so that they'll pay double compensation.

They did send weapons to Israel so that might work.

If the accusations are true, I wonder if he was dumb enough to tell the DPRK authorities that's the reason he fled.

That would explain why they kicked his ass back to the US.

Palestine needs our support though.

[-] Pili@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 year ago

What are you talking about? The Palestinians have been emprisoned in an open air concentration camp for 70 years, their children being regularly bombarded, their houses stolen, their women raped, their food and water taken away by the occupying military.

It's crystal clear who the aggressor here is, the situation in Palestine is very straight forwards compared to the one in Ukraine.

A good occasion to remember that a lot of major US companies use slave labor at home, and the government does nothing about it.

This isn't about human right, it's just economic warfare.

Is it finally here? Did our calls for death to Amerikkka finally become reality?

[-] Pili@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 year ago

Yeah, there are some good ones and some terrible ones.

Also reading the whole thing, it makes it sound like you should never apologize. I see it becoming real toxic real quick.

Yeah, it's happening all over western liberal democracies. Inflation is going crazy and wealth inequalities are growing at an alarming rate. Because of that, people in power are afraid of a popular uprising, and they would rather see fascists rise to power and protect capitalism, than an economical shift to the left and lose some of their wealth.

It happened many times before. The more commonly known examples being:

  • Prominent industrialists and agricultural landowners providing financial support to Mussolini's party because they feared the rise of socialism, and saw in him a means to counter it.
  • German industrialists who were fearful of the rise of the Communist Party and provided financial support to the Nazi party.
  • Spanish landowners and businessmen who were alarmed by the social and economic reforms of the Second Spanish Republic and supported Franco's rise to power.

History tends to repeat itself.
