  • “Cuba has a firm and clear historical position against mercenarism and plays an active role in the United Nations in repudiation of this practice,” the ministry added, according to an unofficial translation.

    “Cuba is not part of the war in Ukraine. It is acting and will act vigorously against whoever, from the national territory, participates in any form of human trafficking for the purposes of recruitment of mercenarism so that Cuban citizens use weapons against any country.”

    The Russian government has not commented on the allegations.






  • My opinion: people need to chill. and also to understand that English is used by different people in various contexts. Not everybody grasps the subtleties of the language. For instance, if discussing something like “a product highly recommended for our discreet female audience” or stating “no problems have been encountered in the department for female prisoners” is considered appropriate, somebody might feel that writing “To look at a female’s behind” (as seen in the original r/therewasanattempt post) is also acceptable. And it’s no big deal.

    Also, it’s a typical Anglo-Saxon harry potteresque LIB magical thinking, and obsession, with language, magic words and formulations. Censoring words just make them stronger. Stop being fucking puritains stupid ameriremoved. Scarlet letters never work. Changing words doesn’t change the world, activism about language is just LIB slacktivism to feel smug and superior, and ultimately keeping the status quo as it is.











  • l’éducation nationale a vraiment fait un bon travail avec toi, tu répètes bien les choses. Bravo. Mais ta conception de la république est naïve (si on est gentils) ou plutôt stupide…

    Les racines intellectuelles et politiques de la démocratie chrétienne se retrouvent principalement en France, avec des philosophes tels que Jacques Maritain, le père de la démocratie chrétienne européenne.

    Et le peuple, OUI, le bon peuple français, qui est “loin” d’être représenté par le “gouvernement actuel”… je me souviens des manifestations pour tous sous ma fenêtre. et je me souviens de Marine Le Pen, arrivée en deuxième position au second tour des élections… avec sa France chrétienne.

    Tout cela pour dire : on ne peut pas ignorer la religion en France. vraiment pas. et nous ne sommes pas SI différents d’autres pays, comme Piketty l’a bien expliqué.




  • hmm.

    In France, we like to give lessons in secularism to the whole world. It is not here that a president would take an oath on the Bible! The problem is that this great national narrative is sometimes accompanied by monumental hypocrisy. In reality, there is nothing particularly neutral or exemplary about the system in place in France.

    France is not really different from other European countries when it comes to religion. And often “laicité” is used to enforce an “identity” politics based on Christianity. Like, Sarkozy and his bullshit “Loi interdisant la dissimulation du visage dans l’espace public” (law forbidding the veil)? Or the early debate about burkini that is on ALL the medias?

    But tell yourself that christianism has long gone extinct in France, sure, lol.
