moistclump , in NSA finally admits to spying on Americans by purchasing sensitive data

Remember folks, that’s your tax dollars paying for it.

FartsWithAnAccent , in Office mandates don’t help companies make more money, study finds

It was never about productivity or making more money (they'd save more if they didn't blow shitloads of corporate real estate), it's about control (oh, and the shitload of corporate real estate they spent shitload of money on)

JoMomma , in Ukraine's new 100-mile bomb from Boeing is ready, sources say

Let's hope the doors stay attached

sin_free_for_00_days , in At least half of Gaza's buildings damaged or destroyed, new analysis shows

You have to wonder just how much the Palestinians of Hamas is willing to let the other Palestinians suffer and die.

What should they do to stop Israel dropping bombs on them?

sin_free_for_00_days ,

Maybe release the hostages and give up? Like what normally happens at the end of a war.

Not according to the Israel government. Their goal is to level Gaza to the ground. They are halfway there.

TheAlbatross , in Biden says he has decided US response to Jordan attack

To save you (and the site) a click through,

He doesn't say what it is.

This is a worthless article containing nothing.

You are kind of right, but also kind of wrong.

Mr Biden did not elaborate in his remarks at the White House, but added: "I don't think we need a wider war in the Middle East."

That clearly rules out any direct attack on Iran, which was the fear of many.

sin_free_for_00_days , in Israeli forces kill three Palestinian fighters in West Bank hospital raid

So Hamas is using hospitals and civilians as shields. As they do. Hamas propaganda will release video of violence at said hospital and dumb ass college kids in the US will decry the evil of Israel, without any alternative suggestion other than holding hands and singing kumbaya.

Dr Naji Nazzal said one of the men, who PIJ identified as its member, had been receiving treatment at the hospital since 25 October for a spinal injury which had left him paralysed.

Paralyzed people are the force of evil that IDF is scared of at night.

skeezix ,

so all of Hamas is paralyzed?

Not that I know. But as far as I know, they didn't send out a 10-man hit squad in civilian clothes to each individual Hamas member either. So the choice is telling and matters in context. If you want to start talking about generalities, we can do that too.

WaxedWookie ,

So all of the 10,000+ children slaughtered by the IDF are Hamas?

kurwa ,

Oh thank God they executed 3 sleeping guys getting treated at a hospital. That's what a normal police force does when there's someone unarmed, injured, and incapacitated right? Just fucking splatters their brains and blood all over a hospital floor? You're fucking delusional if you think this is normal or just.

WaxedWookie ,

People - one of them paralysed are using hospitals as hospitals?
Guess it's genocide time!

Here's a test: Can you identify a way in which Israel differs meaningfully from Novemberpogrome-era (Krystalnacht) Nazi Germany in terms of rhetoric, policies or action? The answers from you fucks tend to be about as stupid as they are monstrous.

sin_free_for_00_days ,

And before I know it, some dumb ass shows up, drunk off the propaganda and naive righteousness. No surprise.

WaxedWookie ,

You realise the propaganda I was spouting (Hamas use hospitals, so genocide is good, actually) was yours, right?

Zero defence against:

  • Using hospitals as hospitals as a justification for genocide

  • Disguising as medical personnel and civilians to raid a hospital and execute high-threat paralysed people.

  • The fact that there's no meaningful distinction between Nazi Germany and modern Israel.

...and no explanation of the propaganda you've vaguely gestured toward.

Top marks, Rudolph Jitler.

asg101 , in ‘Smoking gun proof’: fossil fuel industry knew of climate danger as early as 1954, documents show

“The Earth is not dying, it is being killed, and those who are killing it have names and addresses.” *

~Utah Phillips

* Yes, the rock we call Earth will be just fine. The ability of Earth to continue supporting complex organisms, however, is being destroyed by the oligarchs for profit and greed.

surge_1 , in Shackled woman in Hungary court sparks Italy anger

Probably time to kick Hungary out of the EU until they clean up their far-right problem.

BrikoX OP Mod ,
@BrikoX@lemmy.zip avatar

Not actually possible. The only way to leave EU is voluntarily. The worse EU can do is suspend the member country, maybe that will happen now since Poland will no longer act as a shield for them.

surge_1 ,

Article 7 them until they Article 50 themselves

jopepa , in Child serial killer Lucy Letby loses initial attempt to challenge convictions

Tighten the straight jacket and put more padding on the walls I can’t imagine anyone wants to hear or see her ever again.

Varyk , in New York to expand definition of rape after E Jean Carroll’s case against Trump

Good, Trump violently forced his hand inside her vagina without consent. That is rape.

I'm very glad that this definition is being changed, I hate listening to these conservatives defending "sexual assault" as though it's some virtue instead of non-consensual penetration.

MataVatnik , in French move to make abortion a ‘guaranteed freedom’ gains big win in lower house
@MataVatnik@lemmy.world avatar

Good, we're living in a Christian Taliban dystopia here in the US

Anticorp , in Police accused of mocking female crime victim and ousting whistleblower

Yup, that sounds like something cops would do.

AlteredStateBlob , in Elon Musk: Judge blocks 'unfathomable' $56bn Tesla pay deal
@AlteredStateBlob@kbin.social avatar

I mean, bro doesn't give a shit about fair working conditions or good pay for his underlings. Why should his own contract terms be treated any better.

Fuck him.

stmcld , in EU naval mission to protect ships in Red Sea set to be launched on 19 February

Amazing that the EU can quickly organise a naval mission to attack Yemen, but they can't do the minimum decent thing and say "we condemn Israel's atrocities" in the UN.

UndercoverUlrikHD , in 'Mafia' strikes set to bring Finland to a standstill as unions face down government

Now, that's a terribly loaded headline if I've ever seen one. Wonder which side the editor supports.
