It’s also worth adding, though, that the convention of only running for at most two terms had existed pretty much since the establishment of the republic (until FDR broke it), when Washington and Jefferson each chose not to run for third terms

It’s nice that this exists these days, but my god is it horrendously unreadable at a glance

Plus mini metro, terraria, don’t starve, wild rift, and TFT (last two are free to play, and only have cosmetic transactions)

And, likewise, the UN stating that serious human rights violations occurred is not the same as them all saying they aren’t committing genocide

Is this excluding the bit where they made criticising their war in Ukraine punishable by up to 15 years in prison?

You mean something like the UN Human Rights Office report that concluded “China responsible for ‘serious human rights violations’ in Xinjiang province”?

Parents of kids with peanut allergies freaking out rn

There was a somewhat understandable reason initially; when the embargo was first started, it was because Cuba allowed the UUSR to use it as a forward base for missiles so they could reach the mainland US, which, understandably, the US wasn’t very happy about

But ever since the fall of the USSR it’s been absurd

There’s only really one big building society in the UK, which is Nationwide, but they’re awesome

“Everything is politics” - Thomas Mann

Almost certainly a multiple of 2 minus one

Presumably they don’t especially care, as long as they’re able to take their land

But I expect a lot of the refugees will go to Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye, probably a handful to Egypt but from what I’ve heard the Egyptian border is pretty much closed

shoot them

“they should have killed all the Israelis, and simultaneously are bastards for using exclusively tear gas against people actively throwing petrol bombs at them, and trying to burn down the building with them inside”

What a reasonable take

Absolutely wild accusations to throw out with no sources

You can’t possibly think that a monitoring mission for the UN is armed with chemical weapons lmfao

That’s not how UN peacekeepers work

So there’s a few things to note; firstly, that this article isn’t a eulogy, but about the smuggling and content of his diaries. Regardless of his political positions, those diaries are a fascinating artifact in their own right, especially his perspectives on Russian politics, and the experience of a political prisoner in the Russian prison system.

Also worth consideration is that his views/rhetoric shifted massively over the years, and he became far more liberal as he aged. People who manage to shift away from the far right are a valuable resource in understanding the thought process of other people who think like that.

Yes, to be clear, I’m not trying to argue that they aren’t committing genocide, just that the initial copy-paste comment leaves out the most important part of doing so, because that’s the bit that’s actually challenging to prove

That’s deeply upsetting, but still not the same as proving systematic intent to commit genocide

I do believe that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, but you missed an important part of the definition from your source:

with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical (sic), racial or religions (sic) group

Doing one of the above actions alone isn’t enough to be classified as genocide, it has to be done with systematic intent to destroy the group. That’s the bit that’s much harder to actually prove, because it requires having insider knowledge of Israel’s military complex.
