And yet, still the largest source of methane emission.
They also have the largest population. Per-capita they are not the largest source. It’s ridiculous to evaluate countries’ outputs without regard for the size of their populations.
As a product they can sell. Let’s not pretend like this has some altruistic motivation.
That’s true, and yet they also chose to massively subsidize their solar industry in order to meet climate goals.
Where is “the bad shit that China has done?” You still haven’t said anything about this.
China is unfairly SUBSIDIZING green energy products. They must be stopped or DEMOCRACY will fall.
This is the stupidest thing they could possibly do. How in the hell would Trump be any better on that one specific issue?
Step 1: vote for the “lesser evil” because you have to; Step 2: the “lesser evil” props up the “greater evil” [1] [2] so they can continue to be the “lesser evil” while getting increasingly worse; Step 3: see step 1
on every other issue he’s going to be a demented (literally) nightmare tearing down the foundations of democracy in any way he can so he can keep power this time
The foundations of democracy? Then the corporations will have no say! He’s too late to the game, genuinely. Besides, Biden’s already building Trump’s border wall and arresting peaceful protestors. The only thing Trump can do is make more sexist jokes instead of being like Biden and doing his SA in private.
Democrats love Trump. Hillary Clinton and the DNC wanted him in power so they could have (what they thought was) an easier time winning, and instead of realizing this wasn’t a good plan after it didn’t work, Democrats have continued to fund Trump-supporters in elections.
The state is forcing someone to pick the regular boot or else they’ll get the poison-tipped spiked boot, one on each foot, while making the person think it’s their own idea to pick the normal one (so pragmatic!).
Notice that point from “The Hill” has no examples or evidence. It’s not relevant; they were citing the examples given not the author’s out-of-the-blue conclusion (which can be chalked up to the counter-bias that was the reason it was cited). I have another comment on this post proving that the far-right is not “still on the fringe.”
Quoting Internationalist 360° as a reliable source isn’t going to win anyone over.
Oh, I see the issue: you don’t understand how sources work. They’re not citing Internationalist 360° as a reliable source by itself—if you would’ve read until the end of the article you would’ve seen that the author provided a list of sources used. The article is simply a summary of the history using those sources.
Please tell me about “Chinese imperialism.” I’d love to hear about how Chinese investment in Africa, the only FDI with a positive impact on development, is “imperialism.” I’d love to hear how the PRC’s claim to Taiwan, despite being accepted by nearly every country on earth and recognized by the UN (and favored upon by the majority of Taiwanese despite no clear support for total reunification, hence its not happening yet when China could conceivably force it upon the population), the US admitting that their cynical support for separatism is only to keep the PRC down, is “imperialism,” and in fact Taiwan is an independent state with no relation to China (despite its constitution being the Constitution of the Republic of China, and its president the president of the Republic of China, with the so-called ROC claiming sovereignty over all of the mainland of China, Outer Mongolia, and Russia—see the emblem of the ROC Marine Corps).
30·9 months agoWhat? I thought Biden was desperately trying to get Netanyahu out of power, but he couldn’t because he needed the support of Congress.
@empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com Your comment has been up for over four hours, so 0 for 1 on predictions. I gave you citations for what I said in my comment, things you would have known if you would’ve looked into the conflict at all. You were so concerned with “discourse based in logic” and “source-supported comments,” so what happened?
It’s extremely scummy to imply I’m a liar or making stuff up, then when I go and prove what I’ve said, you can’t even respond to apologize. If your comment was just a dishonest method of wasting my time, then you should be banned and have your comment removed.
Thought-terminating “you’re a Russian propaganda agent” cliche.
Sorry that opinions and facts exist outside of your instance’s echochamber.
I don’t care if my comment is “normal,” but it is “rational and source-supported.” You’re not “calling out hexbear users,” you’re flaunting your ignorance. Points sourced one by one:
It’s littered with monuments to Nazis and Nazi collaborators [*] [*]
Tweet by the National Guard of Ukraine:
its leadership pays homage to Nazi collaborators [*] [*] [*]
and the entire reason we’re in this situation is the US-backed coup in 2014 of which Nazis were the prime domestic force [*] [*]
(illegal cluster munitions used) and repeated violations of ceasefires [*] [*]
they had specific demands for the end of far-right nationalism, repression of Russian speakers, and NATO expansion [*] [*]
NATO itself being a Nazi collaborationist institution [*] [*]
It literally is a fascist shithole. It’s littered with monuments to Nazis and Nazi collaborators, it’s armed forces are filled with Nazis, its leadership pays homage to Nazi collaborators, and the entire reason we’re in this situation is the US-backed coup in 2014 of which Nazis were the prime domestic force, and which led to the proliferation of Nazi gangs. Ukraine is not an independent nation.
You talk about Russia violating sovereignty, what about the Ukrainian bombing of the Donbas (illegal cluster munitions used) and repeated violations of ceasefires? Russia didn’t invade Ukraine out of the blue, they had specific demands for the end of far-right nationalism, repression of Russian speakers, and NATO expansion (NATO itself being a Nazi collaborationist institution).
Just sorting the comm by new, of the 18 posts on the first page (not counting the pin), 7 deal with Palestine, including both news of the situation and of protests against the genocide. The sub consistently features posts on the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and yet, you don’t care. You want anything other than Palestine spammed? Why? It’s an ongoing genocide and also the topic of mass protests in the US. If you don’t care about world news then block the comm.
