Downvoted for speaking the truth

I have never watched it and probably never will- I’m sure it’s a great movie but the twist is one of the most spoiled in internet history :(

Nothing is ever truly original, everything you create is a remix of things you encountered after they are processed by your subconscious. And that’s ok. Even if your song will end up to be very similar to another one it will be your own spin on the musical “idea”. Go for it

TBF nobody said the opposite either

It’s a bit more nuanced than that. Meloni is from the istitutionalised fascists, who are indeed generally Zionist. The grassroots fascist movements such as forza nuova are generally pro Palestine, and have been for decades. Just like in every category, you find both.

that doesn’t account for much though. by current estimations next year he’ll be a twice impeached 91 times indicted POTUS for the next 4 years. it looks like you can be a lawless dick, suffer no consequences and go back to power. what’s even the point of rules?

Thanks for the info. I admit my experience was based on the Italian greens who are irrelevant and generally left leaning, which in Italy means Russophile like anything left of the dems, and on what I know of the German greens, which is that they lobbied for getting rid of clean energy and ramping up the use of coal / gas / petrol, all Russian imports.

Don’t worry it’s the same in Europe

That’s cope though… as they are not going to get nearly enough votes to win, those candidates are irrelevant. It’s stupid but that is how it is. A vote for them is functionally speaking the same as not voting. Like yeah sure you’ll have “sent a message”, but it’s still a virtual vote for the winner. And you don’t get to complain about him: you could have helped by voting for the other one.

It sucks that you have to choose the lesser of only two evils (assuming your vote even counts, because lol electoral college) but that is the American way.

Yeah of course it does not actually tally +1.

But in a two party system the winner is decided by the difference between the two parties’ votes, so if A gets 20 and B gets 25 those 5 votes were decisive.

Not voting, in this system, equals to voting for B: had you voted for A, the advantage would have been 4 instead of 5. By not voting as opposed to voting A, the advantage is 5 rather than 4 - that is, by not voting you effectively gave one vote of advantage to B.

Again, not because your abstinence was actually counted for B, but because your lack of vote helped the advantage grow bigger. If Trump wins it will be also because of you.

That our media has a double standard, a bias for supporting Israel. Russia killed children in Ukraine, they say “killed”. Israel killed children in Palestine, but they won’t say that - instead, those children are just “dead”.

Very little difference in practice because the killing by IDF is implied or deducted anyway - but it’s a difference in rhetoric.

That six year old child was not “dead”, she was killed by Israel. Her relatives, whose corpses she spent her last days surrounded by, were killed by Israel.

If you’re American you have to vote for either Trump or Biden though, you don’t have the luxury of voting neither… in a two party system an abstention equals a vote for the winner.

Yeah, Biden funds a genocide in Palestine. Trump would do the same (he did move the embassy to Jerusalem…) plus ALSO aiding the genocide in Ukraine as he is already doing with his aid cockblock policy.

There are times when the genocide supporter is the lesser evil. I don’t envy your country one bit.

🤓 you are only a cannibal if you eat individuals of your own species, they eat the flesh of their god so that’s incorrect

No, weapons are not INHERENTLY evil - as you seem to say - nor they are good, they just are and it so happens that countries need them, either to attack or to defend. Making weapons is not an evil act per se, supplying Russia with them would be a terribly evil thing to do, while supplying Ukraine or simply stockpiling them in the west in preparation for a possible escalation is a very, very good act.

We may go to war with Russia in the future, you need to be very naive to think that’s impossible. It’s not likely but it’s a possibility that we must consider. We are seeing in the past year or two that drones are the new game changers in contemporary battlefields. It’s only because of drones on both sides that nobody is able to make advances on the frontline.

Russia has adapted eventually and is now building a shitload of drones with increasing capabilities. China is doing the same. So is Iran. All of our (collective west) enemies are investing in this, with the aim of being able to hurt us and our allies.

Now how is us developing drones (through private enterprise, as is custom in liberal societies) a bad thing? About bloody time I say.

Taoism, Buddhism…

Exactly, my point was that word genders are meaningless

I don’t know if you’re being serious but what does that have to do with anything? In Italian the word for “beard” is feminine, I can assure you nobody links it with femininity in any way. Just because the neutral gender doesn’t exist that doesn’t mean everything is actually gendered.

It’s not that hard™

See my comment to the OP

Italian here, a bit of info:

The meeting in Modena will likely get cancelled. The mayor published an update today on his social media where he claims that an administrative investigation will take place where the grant of public space will be reconsidered in light of the information about the event. It was probably granted as an oversight.

The meeting with dugin will happen and can’t not happen. Dugin will be in video call from Russia. The call will take place in a private structure, there is nothing anybody - even the police - can do about it. There will be protests. I will be there. But the event will take place regardless.

If y’all and I gather in my living room and we make cheerful poems about the holocaust and chant heil Hitler to each other’s face it’s still legal. You can say anything you want in your private space. This is not Russia, as much as those pieces of shit gathering there would like to.
