If they do it like Instagram, you have no control over the categories that get added and you can only opt out of one at a time, meaning the process will be extremely tedious and has to be regularly done.

Oh god. My heart goes out to the civilians of Gaza.

As a German, I have absolutely no fucking idea why the AfD is gaining traction right now of all times. Its platform is anti-immigration and also anti-progressivism, which the new government has been doing a bit of, but not much. Maybe it is because there's been a lot of hostility between the coalition's parties, but that doesn't really explain it either.

Es stimmt ja auch, dass Israel als Reaktion Racheaktionen durchführt. Es liegt anscheinend in beider Seiten Interesse, die jeweils andere weiter zu provozieren, anstatt sich auf das Notwendige zu begrenzen.

According to the subtitle, this map shows total employment rates irrespective of any other factors.

Yes.

Aren't black holes per definition always clogged?

lil monkey fella

No, sadly refugees are already treated quite badly here. Germany took in a respectable amount but then left it to the EU border countries to either deal with them with little to no help or just shut themselves off completely. :( What would really be needed is a program to redistribute resources from the wealthy profiting from neocolonialism/climate change to those affected by it, but it's generally framed as if the general population would need to pay for that which turns them against the refugees.

Nazism is still a shunned no-go, and the AfD knows that (and regularly accuses others of being Nazis). The way I see it, its officials are still Nazis though, but they get around acknowledging that by just positioning themselves as counter-culture opposition to progressive movements, which is great at mobilizing a united front of anyone who feels attacked by any part of progressivism. Meanwhile, they also covertly appease other Nazis and the extreme right through dogwhistles and the like. The anti-progressive voters just ignore or tolerate this. This combination sadly proves successful. When they start building the camps, of course everyone should've known they're Nazis, but no one thinks that far even though it's their policies' logical conclusion.

Right wingers don't actually believe in anything they say about the economy or foreign policy. They just care about power, and they'll gratefully ally with any industrialist that is able and willing to help them.

Ah, the party whose members are actual Nazis. I would say mask off, but that mask has been off for longer now. Sad that he feels empowered to be this blunt.

In other news, Russia has suddenly found that the IAEA is run by puppets of the West. \s

Liechtenstein should have a special color for being one of the only 2 doubly landlocked countries in the world.

It's the meme allegation, the real allegation is just cheating without any butt stuff.

I think it was rather commenting on the interviewer's inappropriate intrusiveness into an intimate topic rather than kinkshaming. Understandable that Niemann got defensive there, IMO.

Tell that to younger generations in developing countries - they have done nothing wrong and will suffer because of other's actions. It's debatable how much people like you and me - provided you are someone selling labor and consuming averagely living in a developed country like me - can do compared to highly emitting upper-class people, but we certainly can't just accept the consequences of climate change like it only affects us or we are the judges of letting it doom those least responsible but most affected.

Who determines international law? Typically, mutual diplomatic agreement between the nations involved.

Exactly, and this is what has happened with multiple claimants that have resolved past disputes, including the PRC in some cases. However, as part of this mutual agreement, international law is also administered through international treaties and bodies such as the UNCLOS, to which the PRC is a signatory, therefore agreeing to its judgements. It provides the legal framework for maritime borders with EEZs, with the PRC claim greatly exceeding their EEZ, and ruled against the PRC, which it did not recognize despite their signatory status. To unilaterally, militarily enforce their claim anyway is therefore violating international law.

The amount of disputed maritime borders in the world is a very long one. It's not like China is the only country doing this kind of thing. But you live in the imperial core, so you hear this as if China is the only country that's evil enough to do such a thing and nod solomly.

You're doing it again, this is not only moving the goalposts but also whataboutism. We were talking specifically about the SCS dispute, where of course the PRC is mentioned because Western imperialists are far less relevant, regardless of their own disputes that they of course also have elsewhere. Vietnam also violates international law here, which I will acknowledge, but that has not been the point argued and it certainly is less capable of imperialism than superpowers like the US or China. The point is not that only the PRC does it, but that it also does - and that it needs to stop just like anyone else. Imperialism is not something only the West can do, it is determined by actions - the PRC can also be imperialist, and it could be argued that this military action ignorant of international law is such an example.

I won't participate in this discussion any further if you continue the personal name-calling. You don't know me, don't accuse me of being manipulated by imperialism.

You're conveniently failing to mention the millions of people who will suffer and die with no fault of their own. This is not positive thinking, it's privilege and ignorace.

You're moving the goalposts; before it was about China owning the SCS, now it's about military force determining ownership? Also, that's not how international law works. We're past the age of conquerors, when a country does that, it's rightfully seen as an international pariah. See Russia.
