politics @lemmy.world•Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal
27·5 days agoThe ironic part is that they’re working with a government in bed with narco-cartels, something they ostensibly hate. And they can’t say they didn’t know, because it was central to the deal.

412·6 days agoNobody’s opinion on immigration has anything to do with legality. To prove it, just ask them if they would be OK with immigration if we legalized all of it.
You will find that “legal/ illegal” is 100% a stalking horse for another opinion they’re not so comfortable espousing.

World News@lemmy.world•Donald Trump responds to idea of tunnel connecting Russia and USEnglish
11·6 days agoThis would be the most ambitious engineering feat in human history. A project to rival colonization of Mars in expense and danger. All to connect one wilderness to another. Brilliant.
yesman@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Police Prefer Peaceful Passive Protests
261·7 days agoKing wasn’t worried about radical black thinkers, he was in community and agreement with most of them. King was worried about white backlash inspired by black violence.
King thought that taking on the US government with guns was not just philosophically wrong, but tactical and strategic stupidity.
The through-line between slain civil rights leaders is radical socialist/ Marxist thought, not violence. And King was defiantly among those radical thinkers, even though his legacy has been flattened to three or four lines from one speech.

politics @lemmy.world•DC woman accused of assaulting agent during ICE encounter found not guilty
36·7 days agoEver notice how in court that pigs are always described as giant cowards? They’re constantly terrified of how a woman flails as she’s thrown to the ground or get PTSD when protesters shine bright flashlights at them.
I’m convinced that final exams at the police academy is a mock courtroom where the recruit has to testify “your honor, I was scared for my life”. Bonus points if you cry.

World News@lemmy.world•Three neo-Nazis who plotted terrorist attacks on mosques and synagogues jailedEnglish
6·7 days agoIf you look closely, there appears to be a “Bren” type LMG on the floor and something that kinda resembles a “sten” smg propped up against the dresser. I suppose these are replicas or they’d been the in the headline.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump’s Latest Caribbean Strike “Murder — Plain and Simple,” Amnesty Says
91·8 days agoJust want to remind everyone that murdering people abroad is the most normal President thing Trump has done. Doing dirt in South America has a through-line all the way back to
MadisonMonroe.
Communism is young. At this point in capitalism’s history, it was all colonization, genocide, and slavery. Apples to apples, I’d rather live in the Soviet Union under Stalin than a South Asian under the Dutch East India company.

politics @lemmy.world•America Needs a Mass Movement—Now | Without one, America may sink into autocracy for decades.
17·10 days agoOne thing our author forgets about the Philippines and Ferdinand Marcos is that his authoritarianism was going on for years before the uprising. And that his son is the current president of the Philippines.
So I’m not sure it’s the great example of democracy over authoritarian cult of personality.

World News@lemmy.world•China detains dozens of members of underground church as government pressure on Christianity increasesEnglish
31·10 days agoIt’s really sad when non-believers don’t value other’s freedom to believe what they want. It seems hypocritical. Citing Muslims as an example of Chinese religious freedom is either dishonest or ignorant.

2·11 days agoI think the apt comparison is Braxton Bragg. Both men being incompetent political hacks.

World News@lemmy.world•Western executives who visit China are coming back terrifiedEnglish
307·11 days agoI’m suspicious of an article about advanced robotics without any description or depiction of said robots. Humanoid robots are for advertising brochures. They’re impractical for almost everything.
This is some anecdote from executives jotted down by journalists who never got near these factories.
Not saying its fake, just lazy and incurious journalism.
Even Rand thought libertarians were nuts. She considered them anti-capitalist because she recognized that capitalism couldn’t exist outside of a strong State to enforce it.
The criticism “woke”, “politically correct”, and “bleeding heart” all mean essentially the same thing. That liberals only pretend to care about movements of emancipation to cynically gain political support. And the reason that criticism has lasted so long is because it’s apt.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump admin sparks MAGA fury with Qatari Air Force base in US—"betrayed"
13·14 days agoThe betrayal isn’t the base, it’s the race.
His company DevDroid makes remotely controlled machine guns, that use AI to automatically detect people and track them. Because of concerns over friendly fire, he says they don’t have an automatic shooting option.
“We can enable it, but we need to get more experience and more feedback from the ground forces in order to understand when it is safe to use this feature.”
That’s some real Dr. Strangelove logic in the wild. Can’t let robots kill people until it’s safe.

This person has been spamming “mark of the beast” Christian paranoia content. This post is more obfuscated than the others, but notice the mark on the forehead.
Democrats will always do the right thing, after having exhausted every other option.
