Definitely just a dumb joke that got taken a bit too literally.

Others are tho. For example lemmy.zip blocks UK users from signing up for this reason.

As always to do with Bluesky, Lemmy way overreacting to news exagerrated so much its essentially false.

Yeah it could have been a Rommel type situation.

Consequence? Israel seems to be doing fine

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.

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.

(This literally does happen everywhere)

To be fair basically every futurama character (except maybe Fry) is a bully

But I love watching it for some reason.

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.

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.

Edit: Thanks for editing your comment from using “he/him”

So much respect for Pussy Riot

Was gonna say, that’s how you start a civil war.

Not saying that’s a bad idea… But the implications are worth looking at.
