Until China starts openly threatening canada's sovreignty, they will be a better friend than the US.

This will last until interference becomes so egregious and corrosive that it’s impossible to ignore.

The US government has been meeting with Canadian seperatists and that is already impossible to ignore. Is Chinese interference going to be more profound than that?

the CCP is directing espionage and foreign interference operations throughout western democracies, and Canada is a particular target

The US government has been spying on it's allies for decades. At least china doesn't pretend to be our friend while they do it.

“the Party’s weapon that it uses to expand control and influence without force.”

Sounds preferable to open threats of military invasion.

Babbel is a lot better than Duolingo.

I found that Duolingo just gives you phrases to repeat and memorize but Babbel actually teaches you the rules of the language and is structured more like real lessons. Definitely worth the switch.

Oh hey it's me 😄

They banned me shortly after that but I wasn't told why. I like the idea of Lemmy but there's a lot of nutty people in here and it puts me off.

a ceasefile might be closer than ever but so is the heat death of the universe.

Yeah, it sucks though that for 95.5% of "the world" we don't even have distinct politics or news subs in an instance called lemmy.world. I'd really like to find a place where I can read about the politics or news of the actual whole world (including the US) and ironically none of these are that.

The name “Palestine” for the region has been in use for over 1000 years.

But from this article this is relating to:

Information boards in the museum’s ancient Middle East galleries, covering the period from 1500BC to 1700BC.

The change doesn't seem unreasonable to me. It wouldn't make sense to refer to Ancient Rome as "Italy" or Ancient Persia as "Iran" either.

politics@lemmy.us should be about US politics... America isn't the world.

I pointed out that many of the banned comments were grossly offensive like "kill yourself" and someone went into my comment history to prove that I'm a "zionazi". It was a comment where I asked someone for an example of how the state of israel treats its Arab population as second class citizens.

The irony of these people is that they seem ideologically very similar to fascists like Ben Gvir and Smotrich. The only difference is which ethnicity they target for their hatred and ethnic cleansing goals.

They recently announced they're working on support for hardware from other manufacturers:

The size of the universe means that the chances of other life existing in it is extremely high. But it also means that the chances of us ever knowing about them is astronomically low. Plus, everything we know about physics indicates that FTL travel is not possible.

Would it not be correct to say that there were two parallel democratic institutions at the time? i.e. The soviets and the duma? And the bolsheviks recognised the soviets as the legitimate one (where they also happened to be much more popular).

I'd love to use it but for some reason it can't find my location. Other apps can though.

I ended up blocking them both because lemmy.ml is full of tankies and lemmy.world is America centric despite the name.

I'm not exactly surprised Palestinians wanted all their land back at the time

Nobody was proposing taking anyone's land away from them though. They were proposing that a small amount of the area that had a Jewish majority could be under Jewish governance. Everyone gets to keep "their land".

thought I might learn something interesting from your link

Scepticism is a good thing but this information is just basic history and is freely available on Wikipedia and other sources. That's where I recommend learning the history of the conflict instead of memes on social media like the OP that present a totally made up version of history in order to promote a political agenda.

I voted for Corbyn twice but my opinion of him has changed a lot since then. To be in any kind of leadership position you have to have some level of organisational and decision making ability and he doesn't have those at all. If he'd won the election and become PM I think it would have been an embarrassing shit show like this party he's founded.

Divisions in the army should be called fingerys.

I just don't see how there will ever be an agreement between the US and Iran. The US can't abide by Iran's nuclear program and Iran likely feels they need it as a deterrence against the US attacking them again.

Where do you get these statistics from?

They were offered a state a bunch of times.
