Also, on the flotilla thing it seems debatable that Israel did anything,
It happened again last night, so it's pretty unlikely it was just an accident with a flare or cigarette. BBC is also confirming that it was a grenade as they found the casing on the deck. Unless you want to go full skeptic and say they set off a grenade on there own boat for attention, this was most likely Israel.
As for Tunisia, they could've just not seen it, if the drone is small enough then radar probably couldn't pick it up, and its not like they're actively monitoring the port for drones. Even if they did detect it they may not reveal that because it shows they can't defend there own airspace. It's not like they can retaliate or appeal to the UN, especially after Qatar they've proven Israel can bomb whoever they want and get away with it.
Then everyone reacts, calling her dumb and racist and talking about how cool Tunis is, so when you search on tik tok for Tunis, you just get the drama about this instead of war crimes...
Was anybody actually paying $500 though? It's impossible to know but I think a majority of the sales were back to the seller to pump up the price, launder money, dodge taxes etc. There probably weren't that many people actually paying 20k for these links.
A lot of very dark money got moved around though, which is really the only use case for crypto in general.
So eating meat is now rebelling against the billionaires...
For every dollar a billionaire spends trying to get you to eat less meat, other billionaires spend 100x more trying to get you to eat more meat through advertising, lobbying, etc.
If you want to play into the billionaires plans, eat more meat. If you want to help stop climate change, eat less meat.
Unless you plan on actually doing something about these billionaires, like Luigi. In which case I'll personally buy you all the filet mignon you can eat.
Same with cars, even if we completely ignore climate change we maybe got a century left of oil before it's too expensive to drive. By not investing in other transportation now we're just making it more painful when we finally do rip the bandaid off.
And not littering won't fix the underlying problems of single use plastics wrapping everything we touch, and the corporations that want to keep it that way. Doesn't mean you shouldn't litter.
Yes, there are plenty of other investment opportunities, the fact that you chose the one that profits off of housing insecurity shows you don't care enough about it to forgo a little bit of extra money.
Like other people have mentioned you would also have to be advocating against your own interest. Yes you can do that but your passion will at least be dulled by your innate desire for profit. You'd have more passion and will for the cause if you didn't own investment properties, even more if you are renting and are a victim of housing commodification.
Another point is that you'd be adding to the demand of houses and thus raising the price. You could argue it's a drop in the ocean, but that sort of attitude leads to a million drops in the ocean and rising sea levels. You would also probably be buying it on a mortgage that's larger then the house was previously on so the floor for rent , the break even point, would be higher.
Eg. If you bought the property for $400,000 on a mortgage for say $2,000 a month from someone who only had a $200,000 mortgage on it for $1,000 a month you've now upped the rent floor $1,000.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson swiftly condemned the action.
"He just wants his own secret police force that will do publicity stunts whenever his poll numbers are sinking, whenever his jobs report shows a stagnating economy, whenever he needs another distraction from his failures," he told reporters.
I don't think daily usage necessitates addiction. In my opinion addiction is continually use despite negative repercussions because of fear of withdrawal / not being able to operate without it.
Like I have sugary coffee almost every day but I wouldn't say I'm addicted because I'm not experiencing any negative consequences from it. If I were gaining weight or having heart problems and still kept to it then I'd say that's an addiction.
Same with pot, some people can use it every day without suffering many consequences. If your gaining weight from the munchies, or getting a smokers cough, or becoming antisocial etc. and still use it, that's when it becomes problematic.
The thing is if the US just left maduro alone his regime probably would've collapsed by now. Every time anything bad happens there he can blame it on the CIA and US plots and half the time he's right so people still believe him.
If we got rid of the sanctions then the people couldn't blame anyone else but maduro for the shit economy and they maybe would oust him. But America just can't stand an independent left wing country "in there backyard"
It was also selected because it's a better break. In the US you usually get easter off in April and memorial day off in late May, so there's already a decent amount of spring holidays.
Whereas there's nothing between 4th of July and Thanksgiving in late november, so labor day is a good break to split up that long stretch.
This is a mirror of a reddit post, about the traffic to a specific post on reddit. This is not proof of some grand Russian plot to tear apart the couple thousand impotent liberals and leftists here.
Liberals believe that capitalism is the best way to organize society and leftists ( Socialists, anarchists, communists) do not. In most other countries liberals are the centrist party with a socialist party to the left of them. You're confusing modern american political identities with broader historical labels that you don't seem to understand because that's boring history. It's important to make the distinction because liberals will often ally with fascists against the left in order to maintain bourgeoisie property relations, study twentieth century history to see examples, or just look at how Cuomo is cozying up to trump and the billions of liberal pac money going to him.
The rest of your post seems to be conspiratorial nonsense with no backing besides a reddit post about the traffic to another reddit post. This is like leftists blaming any disagreement or anything that goes wrong on the CIA. This kind of thinking is corrosive and just leads to paranoia, schisms and a lack of self reflection or critique.
Why did we lose the election? No it can't be our flawed politics it must be Russian psyops. Why is that person disagreeing with me? No it can't be that they have a different view thay I should consider, it must mean they're a russian bot.
FYI THIS ISN'T LEMMY, THIS IS A MIRRORED POST FROM REDDIT
For the love of God please don't use this as justification to think that person disagreeing with you is a Russian bot like some people in this thread are doing.
Thanks for the actual reply.
