I was on one of their megathreads, and it had 900 comments to a 100 up voted post. 95 percent was text. They comment always. The pig stuff are probably a fraction of what they post.

Very Macron-like of him.

Canada had paedophile and state-run genocide camps masquerading as schools for Indiginous children well into the 70s!!! This is clearly an extension of that mindset. The Canadian government is sick.

This looks good, I just found an old (3 year old post - I didn’t even know Lemmy was around back then!) and commented on it. There were also funnily two other recent comments (one from 2 months ago and another 3 months old).

Also a great hack to lower your personal rate of inflation.

That’s most of the establishment. Even new money people are mostly crooks. And then you get people like Rowling who make money honestly and join the far right cult of the wealthy.

Great to know, thanks!

That’s cool. My peice had to said, because the rightwing types were benefitting from the silence or disagreement of people like myself who want no more intervention.

Wall Street funded them bro.

You use text-based social media and deride reading?

:(

They are liberals with paper thin corporate-friendly politics.

That user who suggested we ‘help’ is either malicious or ignorant. Because help doesn’t mean we release the reserves of money we’ve stolen from the Afghans. It means invade them again, whether she means it or not.

The best thing we can do now is let the Afghans be sovereign and no longer interfere (which won’t happen). You can expect nothing good socially from there, as the Americans helped the Taliban defeat local progressive and secular forces in the 70s. All we can hope for is for them to eventually stand up on their own two feet.

Anyone who whines about the plight of Afghan women is either doing propaganda or is misled. Afghan women have children too btw - children that are starving - have Biden release the reserves.

Feels like a geopolitical issue more than a religious issue.

The downvotes are probably because you seem to ‘ignore’ the US role in arming the Taliban.

The soviets didn’t even like them iirc. Very sad situation all round.

They weren’t good because they were reds. They weren’t even really RU/SU-aligned. They were good because they were progressive and also happened to be neutral in terms of foreign affairs. But they learnt that the US funded the taliban and that’s why the reds were invited in. The US got word. And disaster ensued.

Rebuilding translates to funding the lavish lifestyles of our puppets. Very colonial.

Those needless military casualties are equally on the hands of our elite and their shares in arms companies.

And think of the Afghan people themselves. They don’t know peace because of us.

Fight your own fights.

Agree with all but this. We did start it. And we’ll learn no lessons.

Sadly Bill Clinton and Tony Blair backed Putin initially. It’s not totally the people’s fault.
