World News@lemmy.ml•'Israel' investigates whistleblowers who leaked footage of Palestinian detainee rape
29·5 months agoWhen WikiLeaks blew open US corruption, war crimes and human rights violations they went after the whistle blowers, Julian Assange, and Chelsea Manning.
United States “The leader of the free world” and Israel “The only democracy in the Middle East” in action.
What I’m arguing for? Logical consistency. Moral consistency. If the reason to sanction DPRK is that they acquired nuclear weapons without the consent of the current nuclear powers, then all states which do the same should be sanctioned. If the reason to sanction DPRK is because they might wreak havoc with massive weapons, then countries that are already wreaking havoc with massive weapons should be sanctioned. Your argument is that Israel and the US should not suffer the consequences of sanctions because they aren’t sanctioned. My argument is that there is not logical or moral consistency in sanctions.
And no, I don’t accept that this is an argument for nuclear weapon proliferation. Those countries that developed nuclear weapons pulled the gate shut behind them, forbidding any other countries from getting them. We can see the hypocrisy in that. But then when a US ally like Israel, or a strategic partner like Pakistan acquires nuclear weapons it is ignored. Only DPRK or Iran could possibly be dangerous because… well because they aren’t cooperating with the US.
Oh, so the UN decided that DPRK nationals aren’t allowed to work abroad. That seems fair. Like, if Israelis worked abroad, sent money home, and then that money was used for genocide. Or if US citizens worked abroad, sent tax money home, and that tax was used for genocide. Kinda like that. Or any country that maintains a nuclear arsenal, that isn’t part of the the nuclear non proliferation treaty. Like Israel. Or Pakistan.
I think what you are showing is that far right parties often incorporate one or two left-wing policies in order to gain popularity. Cherry-picking those and putting them together does not create a realistic profile of right wing opinions.

World News@lemmy.ml•Colombia to cancel free trade deal with Israel, "reform" treaty with US
24·6 months agoVery interesting that Petro has ordered the replacement of Colombian diplomatic personnel dealing with China. It shows how insiders can sabotage agendas even when the leader has a progressive plan. In the UK, Jeremy Corbyn’s government was constantly being sabotaged by Labour inisders, too.

Fired for passing failing students. At this point in North America teachers have to pass failing students! I’m not US American so I am not sure if “No Child Left Behind” means no failing, though I remember it was a Bush jr policy that lowered standards.
Sounds like you went to very “active” middle and high schools!

World News@lemmy.ml•Marcos says the Philippines will be pulled into any war over Taiwan, despite China’s protest
5·8 months agoThat’s because he’s a Marcos and a US toady. Easy fix: get rid of Marcos. Have a sovereign foreign and domestic policy.
Yes, that’s pretty much what I meant. In theory, the best brands would rise to the top under capitalism. So the US brands have failed without state intervention.
Which model of redmi did you have? I currently use the Redmi Note 12. It’s… okay. I had a previous Xiaomi (can’t remember which model) that I thought was an excellent price for high quality.
Definitely Chinese phones have better specs for their prices, as compared to US/Korean brands. Still, I’m looking for that special deal of a mid-tier-priced phone with flagship specs. Considering getting the Oneplus 13.
WTAF? The cope of failing at capitalism is real.
They cost waaaaay too much. Most flagship phones do.
Still using my two year old Xiaomi Redmi Note 12. It was super cheap, relatively. Like about 12 times cheaper than the Huawei tri-fold.

Technology@lemmy.world•Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_newsEnglish
1·10 months agoDo you mean investors are trying to manipulate stocks by planting stories? Yeah, I think so. But intelligence agencies have whole training programs on how to manipulate narratives, and a very long track record of doing so.
See: Israel’s hasbara apparatus,
GCHQ leaked documents on infiltrating and derailing socialist discussions,
Church Committee Hearings,
“The Cultural Cold War” by Frances Stonor Saunders.
Liberalism is a political-economic ideology that gives a friendly face to capitalism. While market discipline enforces inhumane measures like a park bench that prevents homeless people from sleeping on it, simultaneously the same society produces the friendly face “solution” of a small, overburdened charity organization to help homeless people.
So the state, which has the authority to enforce public park design, or, you know, regulate housing, won’t help. The liberal solution to systemic social inequity is charity.

I don’t think any of their goons are astroturfing (well, maybe World Superbikes). Did you mean a different entity?
