“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
“The truth is always stronger than the lie.”
One is a quote made by Joseph Goebbels,
the other is a paraphrase of a paraphrase
of a quote made by Joseph Goebbels,
with the “In British culture” part missing.
Guess which one is which.
(P.S. I disavow German fascism.
It’s just the more I learn about the US or UK,
the more I’m surprised that fascism took hold in Germany… (first.))
If you’re astonished, then you haven’t read any history of the US.
It’s so much steeped in blood and so wildly capitalist
that it’s more astonishing that it was able to not collapse
and keep a good image during the 20th century.
It’s saving grace is having the largest deposits of coal by far,
but with solar power on the rise that’s not cutting it anymore.
The word “America” does not come from Amerigo Vespucci, but is likely an amalgamation of
the Mayan word “Amerristiquiqque” for “land where the wind blows constantly”, which is the name of a mountain range in Nicaragua, and the Spanish word “Rica” for rich, like in “Costa Rica” (Rich Coast) as Spanish sailors would ask Carib Amerindians where their gold came from.
The smallpox blankets event where a couple of blankets laced with smallpox were knowingly gifted to Native Americans happened before germ theory existed. The plan was based on miasma theory.
No. We live in a society that favors good people for the most part and it’s getting better, just not for the US and it’s toadies.
And all the bad people from the good countries move to the US so that they can beg the US to invade their own nation in order to become toadie leader #53.
What’s happening right now is that this US hegemonic system is falling apart.
I have two questions:
Other than saying “Gun deaths are worth keeping the 2nd amendment”,
and “I can’t stand the word empathy” making his gun death ironic,
did he say or do things that are as vile as Lindsey Graham
or as unhinged, untruthful and provocatively violent as Alex Jones?
All I know him for is “the white supremacist that’s against the Palestine genocide (for his own reasons)”
and someone that doesn’t get that job security allows for allows for more children, not anything else,
while he harps about not enough (Anglo-American) babies being born in the US.
And considering what happened
and as a tribute to Charlie Kirk,
should we arm more people?
Exactly, although turning the US into a dinosaur park does sound tempting.
Yes, civil war has started.
It deserves to be retaken by the rightful owners of the land.
Lol @ impeached.
This is not a scandal.
He’s declaring war.
There is no impeachment in war.
If it does ship it with UT and Fairphone doesn’t, then yes.
Have had both. Still have Sailfish because the phone is cheaper.
Also I thought Ubuntu Touch would be discontinued and I no longer use Ubuntu on my desktop,
but an Arch-based OS.
Best thing you can do is buy a phone that’s most compatible to the OS.
So Fairphone 5 or Pixel 3a for Ubuntu Touch,
and Jolla 2 for the Sailfish.
Do not buy Pine64.
Pine64 is unusable.
Signal? I don’t trust anything that’s not part of the fediverse.
Lab-grown meat can’t come fast enough.
I’ve never seen it being sold in the supermarkets,
but I agree with what one tv show host has said it best:
“Why would anyone have more contanimation concerns of meat grown in a clean lab when this person eats meat cultivated in a dirty stall with poop on every wall?”
For imitation meat, the stuff that’s cheaper is not better.
It’s cheaper nonetheless.
And the only better-than-the-real-thing imitation meat out there is a more expensive hamburger.
Or maybe that person would eat real meat.
Lab-grown and imitation meats being a gateway drug to it. /s
No. Wanted to see CDs gone the moment I discovered USB-sticks.
Didn’t like them in the first place, because floppy disks never needed to be ‘burned’.
No, I just only visit /r/Sino and that’s my base level of US-neutral
I blame lemmy’s and lemmygrad’s political structure for the latter (too US-centric/pro-US).
Rust is easy to learn.
All you need to know is that new variables consume old variables when assigned.
Once you know that you will never make any ownership error again. >:)
I will one-up your status position and only use a smart watch at work. Now revere me for I am the new Steve Jobs!
Eric Blair was a Trotskyist who wrote
Animal Farm and 1984 to spite Stalin,
as Stalin turned on Trotsky,
as Trotsky was a one-world-government proponent,
(with Moscow as its capital),
with the argument that capitalist nations would do anything
to isolate and destroy socialist nations,
whereas Stalin thought that socialism would bring the
Soviet Union enough success to defend itself.
This had far-reaching consequences for
Eric Blair who was participating in the
Spanish civil war of 1936 to 1939,
having joined the Trotskyist resistance group
and saw the Stalinists resistance group turn on them
and outright attacked them.
