Just out of curiosity, when did westerners started to have a problem with invading other countries? I ask just because of the fact that in the last 100 years you were always either the invader or sided with the invader. And now its all wrong. Could you care to point when this change happened?
Sorry i tend to respond badly to stupidity. Wont happen again.
The mental gymnastics involved in beliving the japanese people wants troops from the country who nuclealy nuked them for no reason other than showing power to a third country is really out of my mental grasp. Maybe one day i will consume so much propaganda that i will be smart enough to understand things like that.
Thats great! Now people there can eat all the Fiscal Surplus they want! Sick people can cure their diseases with Fiscal Surplus! Not to mention the Fiscal Surplus houses they can live in

Taliban, with all its problems, took arms in hands and fought a foreing invader with a disgracefull disadvantage on their side in order to free their country. And won. I dont think republicans could ever do something remotely similar
Taliban is a very admirable group in their fight against a foreing invader. If you want people there to have a mentality that no longer condems individuals for their sexuality, they need to develop economically first. I think its naive to belive that an agricultural country set back in development many years by a foreing invasion will have any kind of progressive mindset. And no ecomic development will occur under invasion and war. So if theres any chance for a progressive mindset to come for the people there in the future, its path starts with the fight taliban did, even if they are against it themselves.
isn’t exactly the talking point you want it to be.
It is. The history of the country changed because of what they did. It was an historical event
but it’s like saying
Absolutely not. Taliban was fighting a foreing invasor, Hitler commited genocide, among many other things. If you grossly look at the casualities there, you could argue that the USA genocided afghan people. Tbh this is stretch you did really looks like bad faith, overlooked reality for the sake of argument
Afghanistan was destroyed and made into a giant papoula plantation in order to supply the heroin that goes to the USA. Why would you villanize the group that fought against that? Only in a fantasy world a progressive pro lgbtqi+ woman rights group could emerge in a country like Afghanistan during war. I do understand the various problems that taliban have, but they are the real ppl fighting to free their country, not the ideal ppl we imagine they could be

This aforementioned demonstration, btw, would have to become obscenely apparent to the average every day computer user who just wants to get their work done, play a Video Game, and watch Netflix, all without having to ever even know what a terminal emulator is.
That sums it all up. The average user wants a PC that just works. Terminal is a big no for the average user, and while we dont get gui ways of doing everything an average user does, it will be a big barrier. Even calamares needs to be waaaaay simpler (like a “i have no idea what im doing, configure it all for me” option).

Brasil is becoming a dictatorship. This “judge” is carrying the empires work here. But lets remind where Moraes come from. When Dilma Roussef was thrown out of power in a coup, Michel Temer became the president. This guy was so fucking sold to the USA that people hated him left and right. Well, turns out that the minister that occupied Moraes sit in the supreme court before died in a very convenient plane crash. And then Temer had to appoint someone to substitute him. There came Moraes. He condemned people to 17 years in prison for vandalism, he wipes his ass with the constitution, he censor people who talk things he doesnt like. And the most incredible thing is that the “left” is supporting him in this
Look up what an actual violent coup is before you talk. Chile is a very good example of what it really is. And belive me, its not old ladies and people shitting in tables.
Also, i dont know if you consider yourself a leftist, but you are not. No humanity at all. To say 17 years in the brasilian prisons is light you have no soul at all.
Multiple reports on this comment for “lies and disinformation”
Id like to know what is a lie or “misinformation”, whatever that means
“He condemned people to 17 years in prison for vandalism” is, at best, incorrect.
How so? Any argument here or just a feeling?
Brazils equivalent of January 6th:
Brasil is one country, USA is another. Different constitutions and criminal codes, etc
Which is on par with what we see here for some 1/6ers:
So what? Different countries
Also, i posted a long comment giving historical context of what is happening. You guys come and censor me without any argument other than “people dont like what you said”. Let them downvote me so. If this is “misinformation”, let people respond with their own versions and then the readers can decide for themselves.
It wasn’t simply “vandalism” and attempting to phrase it that way is absolutely a lie.
65% of brasilians think it was vandalism and not a coup. But maybe you know better. Anyway, the way you dismissed everything that i said over one statement (wich is correct, according to the brasilian population, and therefore if you disagree its you whos wrong by going against the democratic outcome of the internal discussion) shows a lot. Keep up the great job
