well its really more like a protection racket

we’re pinched for energy and dependent on the US for it unless we diversify our imports (russia) or produce our own (nuclear). Particularly for the production of steel.

Whats even harder to fix is the brain-drain with most academics leaving for US or China where the major research is happening

Mull is discontinued unfortunately, although I think it got forked?

all the more baffling why we would buy more so close to the end, no?

The reality that Ukraine is cooked for the next several decades by any sensible metric is independent of any ideology, it’s just fact. It’s over, it’s done, Russia will get what they want and the US will get a neocolony, aka what they want.

The only thing I don’t get is why we still finance lockheed martin? jk I think I have an idea for why UVDL is still hellbent on getting as much as possible out of public coffers and into the hands of foreign private investors.

It’s absolutely infuriating and flat-out an insult that Ukraine and Europe would not be allowed a seat at the negotiation table.

and whats anybody going to do about it?

lol whyyy Ukraine’s cooked why are we shoving more public funds up the US’ ass? Genuinely what are they hoping to accomplish?

I’m really intrigued by this, re-education from what? What education do you think I had that I then got re-educated from and why would “western culture” be a part of it?

Edit: Also how did I get into this re-education? Was I forced or did I voluntarily sign up? Please paint me a picture here I’m fascinated by this

man this snowflake is so offended let me throw in another sexist insult

really got me there bud

My point is using “gargling balls” as an insult implies its a demeaning act. It follows that (hetero) women and gay men are demeaned by it or that they at least should be ashamed of it. Performing oral sex has long been coded (and used) as showing dominance, with the person performing the act submitting to the domination of the person they are performing it on. To the point that men performing oral sex on women would be seen as effeminate and therefore lesser. This is being used in a s&m context sure, but my point is that it’s mainly used to enforce the patriarchy, where women and gay men are seen as lesser.

Edit as to the male:female ratio hexbear did a poll a while back: https://chapo.chat/post/3635039

The fact that you use “to gargle balls” as an insult, suggesting it is a demeaning act is homophobic and sexist

libs try to not be homophobic challenge (even less possible)

their bloodthirstiness, however them using “pooh” to talk about xi jinping further narrows it down to most likely dem-leaning lib.

least bloodthirsty lib

its only weird when done to a human…

organize with others.

but why reinvent the wheel it’s such a waste of effort

oh god whats the story on that? Why are people so adamant on splintering?

i think it was ruud who banned me for antiwhite racism from political memes, purely because Iinked readsettlers.org .

i think the sublinks dev is ongoing, they said they wanted to switch to that and eventually cut ties to lemmy. They probably want the largest userbase to take with them
