He was right about a lot of things and also wrong about a lot of things. This one falls squarely in the latter category.

Pavlov would be proud. Amused too, probably 😁

It’s this thing we have in countries with more civilized laws governing death tools.

Condoms. Also ice cream originally developed in my home city. Chocolate, of course 😉

Just a couple of severely well-hung men watching a wall-hung TV, nothing special 🤷

Well there’s a reason why “bird brain” is an insult…

That’s right! Etc has had it too easy for too long!

macOS is pretty bad

Could have just stopped there 🤷

It’s because “straight” is a term idiots like themselves invented at a time where straight meant “good” and “not broken”.

Im contrast, “cis” was coined by smart people to accurately describe them with no inherent bias or value judgment. They hate that sort of thing.

If that was the case, you’d probably be under 25, dead, or both, though 🤷

To be fair, that’s the case in the VAST majority of Lemmy threads…

Guess I’ll be looking for spare parts for my beam emitters elsewhere, then

Nah, Zerog is 100% simping for Shapiro. You should see their Shapiro level takes on everything regarding Israel…

An especially obvious and egregious one is Haiti.

In the recent past, there’s also the US-backed coup against Evo Morales and the attempted one in Venezuela, known as Operation Freedom i case anyone should have any doubt as to who was really behind it…

He was sadly too divisive to be a widely-popular Labour leader

Bullshit. He was elected leader because people wanted to go back to the party’s left wing roots.

The Blairite Neoliberal wing of the party didn’t like that, so they ousted him with a smear campaign calling him “divisive” (read: agrees more with the broader population than with the neoliberal establishment and their rich owner donors) and “antisemitic” (read: isn’t in the pocket of the fascist apartheid regime, has empathy for their Palestinian victims)

That’s how they get you to agree to a 30 minute lunch break…

The thing is, that we, the West, don’t want to be an imperial power that invades other countries any more

That’s true for the majority of the citizens but almost none of the governments.

To go with the most obvious example, the US government is interfering in the affairs of other countries and the private lives of its own citizens as much as it has ever done and willfully lying constantly to cover it and many other things up.

You don’t eat, sleep or go to the bathroom?

Someone call Harrison Ford, we have a replikant!

Reminder: Corbyn was the duly elected leader of Labour until Starmer’s right wing flank of the party conspired to have him thrown out based on false accusations of antisemitism.

Keir Starmer who, while the leader of a party literally named after their solidarity with the labour movement, fired a shadow cabinet minister for joining a picket line in solidarity with striking railway workers

Amazing how “we have to be allowed to resume the genocide after getting what we’ve been pretending is the reason for it” is the sticking point for the apartheid regime and nobody calls them on it!
