So who is bypassing congress to deliver bombs to Israel? Is it Trump? I thought Joe Biden is the current president. And Biden kept pushing the fact that he is a staunch Zionist. Also Harris kept talking about supporting Israel, providing a stage for families of Israeli hostages, while denying any Palestinian to speak on stage at the DNC congress.

However your immediate attack shows exactly the problem. When people have the wrong skin colour or are in the wrong place, American culture is fine with denying them their humanity and human rights. And that is across the political spectrum as you are showing with your comment.

If most counties are like 53-47, 55-45, maybe even 65-35, having one county where it is like 90-10 will be dead obvious manipulation.

Judges without elections have a pretty free hand to be racist or misogynist pieces of trash.

So do judges that oppose these. Meanwhile in a racist or misogynist electorate judges will be compelled to cater to those “values”

Yes there is. You need the entire country for national elections and there is one government from one parliament. You might have the same on state level, where interference is easier. But you need thousands of judges in thousands of districts. That will become very easy to interfere with.

But a corrupted muncipal parliament does not have the saem effect, like a corrupted judge, who can let his buddies off free, while imprisoning journalists and other critical dissidents against the cartels.

Problem is the American people being openly in favor of genocide, as long as their team is the one committing the genocide. This includes the “progressives” you find here on lemmy, arguing that it is okay to vote for genocide because the Reps would do more genocide.

The American people, and many other people in the world (Germany, UK, France…) are complicit.

That’s what you get for electing a corrupt cop as mayor.

Also Adams is yet another example, why having someone from a marginalized group in office does not mean that the represents or even really cares about the needs of that group past his own political advantage.

Meanwhile under US occupation the production had soared to record highs. Just like in the golden triangle, once the US invaded Vietnam.

I hope for these lawyers to fail in disgrace with their pathetic lies.

Pretty much they mean “we say sorry if you keep letting us do it”.

Now they will know if they can get away with it and subsequently kill more international peace activists to push the remaining ones out, so they can go back to murdering Palestinians without holding back.

I mean i am fully in support of PC gaming and in particular Linux gaming. It is just not as easy to keep upgrading PCs component by component. Eventually there is limits, mostly from the mainboards limits.

Within limits though. E.g. If your mainboard only supports old CPUs that is a huge limiting factor and we saw MS messing with older CPUs just not being supported at all by Win 11.

Now i made the switch to Linux myself too and i am very happy, but for people who want to start somewhere, maybe starting with their own linux gaming PC is a bit much for the start.

I think it is important to remember, that the US tried to stage a Coup in Venezuela in 2020. And given the many Coups of the US in South- and Central-America, it is natural for the opponents of the US to also oppose any US backed politician in the region, irrespective of who actually won the elections. This does not excuse Maduro, but the US directly meddling in South-America and Central-America is alive and well as it ever was.

Savett said that the United States has been warning about the “deepening security partnership between Moscow and Tehran” since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

He added, “As we and our allies made clear at both the G7 summit and the NATO meeting this summer, we are prepared to deliver a swift and severe response if Iran were to move forward with such transfers.”

Savett, commenting on Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s claims about efforts to improve Iran’s relations with the West, said, “Despite these claims, the missile transfer program demonstrates that the Islamic Republic continues to alienate itself from the international community and contribute to threats against European security. Therefore, we assess the leadership of the Islamic Republic based on their actions, not their statements.”

Weird. I remember it was the US that unilaterally destroyed the JCPOA despite the IEA confirming Iran to uphold its side of the deal. And then the US invited Iranian diplomats to Iraq, only to assassinate them, which is a huge breach of international protocols. Also the US is providing billions and billions of weapons to Irans strategic enemies, Israel and Saudi Arabia.

But of course Iran is at fault for seeking relationships with other countries also opposed to the US. If it wasn’t for Trump destroying the relations and Biden doing fuck all to repair them, Iran could have been much closer to the West. Now Ukraine is suffering additionally because of the US destroying diplomatic developments between the EU countries and their geopolitical neighbors.

Cant you do that in mono with two oscillators? Also aren’t analog synths mono most of the time?

I think it is important to understand what gave them their recent power. The self imposed neoliberal austerity and self imposed paralysis of the current government of social demcorats, greens and liberals had pushed the small fissures that developed through rising inequality over the past 30 years in Germany into fully blown open cracks. Especially the failure to address the economic and social impact the Covid pandemic had swiftly followed by the huge inflation with Covid and the invasion shorty after, cracked a lot of people. Meanwhile the conservative CDU just went into full right to far right populist attack mode, actively sabotaging both the federal and local governments.

Russian has been playing its propaganda game for at least a decade before that, but instead of addressing the systemic issues in Germany, politics ever only chased the next few years and Merkel just smothered the country into sleep, while the problems grew.

Now the solution would be to address necessary investments, providing a vision for a secure and positive future. Instead the government runs after far right populist ideas, becoming ever more authoritarian and racist. And this only further helps the populists of AfD and BSW presenting these as “solutions”.

“world’s largest democracy” run by a fascist, who embraces pogroms against the Muslim minorities and assists Israel in its genocide against palestinians, including sending India troops there.

Of course Israel is best buddies with Modi in the same way they sold drones to Russia after the Crimea annexation, which later helped Russia bomb Ukraine during the main invasion. Neither country is a liberal democracy, nor do they share interests with “the West” past their own immediate advantage.

The factor is derived from extensive analysis and sound research. and the factor 5 is on the low end. The spread easily goes up to 10 indirect deaths per recorded death. And that is with there being some sort of infrastructure left. Israel deliberately annihilated all of it and continues to do so.

To show you how silly your argument is. “it is just multiplication by some factor” is also applied to gravitational force and many other physical phenomenon.

In this case it is absolutely crucial, as one of the repeated arguments made by the genocide supporters is “its just war, they try to prevent civillian deaths” or “if it was genocide they would have killed much more people”

These are lies. They are absolutely deliberate in what they do, and the realistic numbers prove that. The numbers of people officially recognised as dead has been rising only slowly since april/may. This is not because the killing and devastation have become less, they got worse. It is because the health system has collapsed after Israel made a point of destroying it.

IDF soldiers have been seen pulling small levers on handheld devices.

Eygi fell to the ground with blood coming out of her head around the same time.

In private he will probably congratulate them on having taken out another one of the brown people for them.
