Before anyone assumes “ethnic cleansing” strategies like forced sterilization or migration don’t count as genocide, I propose the definitions of genocide outlined in the 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
© Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

Workers and the customers. Walmart does have a captive audience in some regions where they priced all local businesses out of competition and they’re often the cheapest option available for lower-income shoppers without much disposable income.

she wouldn’t prescribe it for me any more anyway, until I stopped using cannabis (even though it’s legal here)
For what it’s worth, don’t discount that type of advice. Get a second opinion if you think they’re wrong, but it’s just that there really are a lot of medications that can have unintended interactions with other substances, legal or otherwise.
Though Trump started that “nearly a decade” too.
That’s optimistic. The handlers are probably still at (or even orchestrating) the briefings.
My hopium is he’ll be back. App is still perfectly functional for me otherwise and I don’t feel too strongly motivated to switch yet.
Based and historiography pilled
You know, I can get behind these arguments.
A lot of my vocabulary that I acquired to talk about the Civil War, be it from school and media and the like, was just conforming to the type of language everyone else used. All of the examples listed in the article, basically.
But if there can be a concerted effort to change the way we talk about the war that further contests the many false narratives that the former Confederate states have tried to establish, count me in.
I am all for coordinated movements, but organize with who, plan what, act how?
I see this kind of sentiment all the time on Lemmy and generally agree with it, but it feels like platitudes at this point when no one can recommend any concrete action.
What, you don’t remember that part of the Bible?
Mozilla 11:28 - “Come to me, all of you who have 87 tabs open, and I will give you grouping.”
You and me both. I am still upset by the fact that my state had RCV on the ballot several years ago but voted it down because the majority-Democrat politicians in office here were afraid to endorse anything that might erode the party’s dominance.
God forbid a left-leaning state run the risk of electing actual leftists.
Sorta, but not to let the Democrats off the hook either, with their uncanny ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Chuck Schumer and his conspirators can never be forgiven for agreeing to pass the Trump budget that is now funding his agenda.
Schumer’s entire argument that they should play along until Trump’s approval rating hits some arbitrarily low number is infuriating, and reeks of the sort of calculated politicking where the only priority is to do whatever it takes to stay in power, rather than to do the right thing. Hope that bites him and the others who voted with him in the ass.
The very real push to vote for Trump or not vote at all due to Biden’s botched (to say the least) handling of Palestine was not in good faith, though, and I saw that type of rhetoric everywhere.
Edit Downvote me and don’t bother responding you coward who can’t face up to the genocide being directly facilitated and endorsed by the U.S.
I didn’t downvote you, for what that’s worth, so I hope that’s not directed at me. But shame on me regardless I guess.
I do think that is giving liberals and the left too much credit.
A lot of the infighting from among the left during the past election felt pretty artificial, to be perfectly honest, and most of the “Genocide Joe/Holocaust Harris” types seemed to just evaporate after the election ended. Maybe just because there was nothing really left to say after all was said and done, but I just find it hard to believe much of that discourse was in good faith. I’m surprised to read a number as low as 18%, but almost 1 in 5 still isn’t nothing.
It’s not so much that the Supreme Court is being ignored as much as it is that they refuse to do anything about it. They’ll offer some occasional platitudes by ruling against Trump to make the public think that the system is still working as designed, but stop just short of actually enforcing those rulings.
Trump is a Republican.
Congress is controlled by Republicans.
The Supreme Court is majority Republican.
The other branches of government could stop this but they’re all enabling this to happen.
To be honest, it wouldn’t surprise me if this is meant to be interpreted as “You’re taking too long to finish.”
