Pure, unadulterated racism.

The state tells you murder is illegal. Except when the state does it. You can't expect people to follow, "do what I say, not what I do."

It's cruel, it's a reflection of our morals. The death penalty is not a deterrent for murder. The death penalty is hypocrisy. The death penalty is for an unserious society.

But the death penalty is just a symptom of a greater chronic illness we suffer from. We'll just continue to kill ourselves until we find a cure for the disease.

Edit: I see many do not like my wording for state sanctioned murder. If you are reading this and don't understand, imagine if listening to George Bush (can't remember which) tell the tv America doesn't negotiate with terrorists. He's drawing a moral line in the sand with terrorism. That's my point. We need to figure out where our moral line in the sand is with the death penalty, because right now it's all over the place. Do I think outlawing the death penalty will solve our societal woes? No, I do not. The people will demand it until it is reinstated. For me I ask what is the purpose of the death penalty? Does it serve a greater good for a society? Obviously it does not. Americans are murdered all the time, so it serves no purpose.

Pelosi had some serious contempt for the younger generations. She gripped to power like a military junta. She definitely believed in seniority and made you adhere to the ruling class tradition. Fuck her.

Lol, the French one is true and I had no idea

The US is sending mix signals. Biden condemns Hamas, calls them terrorists, and funds the iron dome. Of course Israel thinks they have carte blanche in the region. Surrounded by hostile nations, what other nations in the world acts as aggressive as Israel. They do it because they know they have the full backing of the US. The question is will we live in a world without any Palestinians in the middle east soon - coz that's where we're headed.

Israel misspelled their defense system. Should be called the irony dome.

So the patron not only pays for the food/service, but there's a separate fee to pay for ALL employees living wages??

If this trend continues the customers will end up making the food too!? Lol, I would talk to the manager for sure.

You think you're unique coz you're contrarian and can think for yourself. You're just more interested in being edgy.

And it's not just lemmy, all of media has come out to remember who Kissinger really was. Except for Reuters. They suck.

Anyway, be brave and pick a side. There's no high road here by taking a neutral stance on Kissinger. He was a monster and should be remembered as such.

That's what I'm talking about! Enough of taking the high road - we can't let them continue gaslighting. Every time I see a matter-of-fact statement I throw it right back to them. Turns into a silly circle jerk that never goes anywhere.

The sovereign people of any nation have a right to call themselves what they please. People of the US decided on 'American' long before the Internet was a thing and Latin America people got pissed off. US intervention in Latin America is a stain in history, but this is categorically dumb. US citizens call themselves Americans because it's in the name. Literally. Canadians don't call themselves Americans and never will. This is dumb argument. Respectfully.

Americans have accepted this idea. To our detriment. And to the detriment of the underdeveloped world. It's a wicked system. God damn it we're foul.

No.

The prices change for the consumers. What never changes is the pay for Disney executives and shareholders. Their pockets of cash always go up and up 📈📈📈

That's right now, 2023 my guy

Venezuela and Japan have the highest, but you forgot to mention the United States is 12th -"While the U.S. boasts the highest GDP in the world,, it nonetheless spends more than it earns. Major contributors to the national debt include the world's largest military budget, tax cuts (which reduce government income and rarely result in a corresponding increase in economic growth), COVID-19 relief efforts, and mandatory-but-underfunded programs such as Medicare."

Brunei and Afghanistan have the lowest. You need a better metric to make your pro neo liberal take💀

His achievements can easily be googled. You agree with that or is it too "Hollywood" for ya. Too cliche to call him a villain.

Capitalism's solution to homelessness is mass starvation... in underdeveloped countries. With a side of bombs. All in the name of democracy

The oil production sure didn't help

I wish I could say this is Twitter's death kneel but we all know they'll be back together soon enough. Like an abusive relationship

Does anyone know what baristas use? It's none of the ones I've seen and tried mentioned in the comments. Whatever they use doesn't turn coffee into a brown soup either.
