Biden next week: We’re close to reaching a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia by Thursday. Ukraine will give up all its claims to its lands held by Russia and Russia pinky promises not to attack for 3 weeks.
Begum asked for the UK’s forgiveness and claimed that she still supported “some British values”. She said she had been partly inspired to join IS by videos of fighters beheading hostages and also of “the good life” under the group. When asked about the Manchester Arena bombing, she said she was shocked and didn’t “know about the kids”, then said it was wrong to kill innocent people, but that IS considered it justified as retaliation for the coalition bombing of IS-held areas. When questioned about rape, enslavement and murder of Yazidi women, she claimed, “Shia do the same in Iraq”.*
on February 2019, her father Ahmed Ali said, “If she at least admitted she made a mistake then I would feel sorry for her and other people would feel sorry for her, but she does not accept her wrong.” Begum reacted by stating that she regretted speaking to the media and said the UK is making an example out of her.
I suppose you’re of the belief that Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe shouldn’t be gaoled for the murder of Brianna Ghey as well because they were only 16 and what could they possibly know about right or wrong being little children, unable to make decisions on their own.
She is an unremorseful piece of utter shit who directly caused suffering onto others, after being inspired by watching innocent people being murdered. A teenager is not some completely helpless thing, they are capable of making horrific decisions of their own will and sometimes they must live with the consequences of those choices as I’m sure you no doubt agree should happen such as with the Ghey case. If it was something minor, you could probably argue that it was just a stupid childhood mistake, this goes far above and beyond that.
It’s not a view I think you hold, it’s an example of how I think you don’t adhere to your ‘she wasn’t capable of consenting’ argument because I hope you agree that Jenkinson and Ratcliffe were able to ‘consent’ to their own actions at a similar age.
And if you don’t think she can consent, and is actually a victim in all this, why do you want her gaoled?
She voluntarily chose to go join ISIS after watching videos of people being beheaded, you make it sound like she was kidnapped off of the street and shipped to the middle east against her will.

Why do they not just beam the shit directly out of their colons into space?
Furthermore why is Kirk writing to Scotty on the bathroom stall wall when Scotty is onboard the Enterprise and thus cannot read the message telling him not too. Most illogical.
Friendly reminder that people who want to enforce hierarchies and subjugate other people have no place in an anarchist community, and capitalism by definition is therefore incompatible
NeoLib: Oh? You’re letting me in? Instead of running away, you come right to me? Even though your grandfather, LinkOpensChest_wav, told you the secret of The Hierarchy, like an exam student scrambling to finish the problems on an exam until the last moments before the chime?
Anarchist: I can’t beat the shit out of you without getting closer.
Thailand is in the middle of banning it as they elected a conservative government not long after legalising it.
Also for recreational use it’s legal in one of eight states/territories in Australia. Medicinal in every state but that’s not really the same even if it’s dead easy to get.
Homosexual the word/concept was only invented in 1868 in Germany.
Prior to that pederasty/pédérastie (or any other regional variant of) was the word that Europe used since it was ‘related’ in their understanding of same sex sexual dynamics.
Bro, that doesn’t mean shit. Just because they’re reading Marx or Engels does not mean that they’re also reading about sexology or any other field of science.
Fuck the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft was promoting trans rights, contraception, STD prevention, etc over a hundred years ago and half of America can’'t even wrap their heads around these basics concepts today. And don’t even go looking into contemporary Russian laws on LGBT issues.
Social change is not guaranteed with the passage of time, nor does it happen fast.
I don’t know why you’re trying so hard to argue against the understanding that the USSR was backwards as shit in regards to LGBT issues, maybe you’re under the impression that this law only referred to paedophilic acts and that they didn’t oppress gay men. If that is so, let me dispel such a notion by quoting the rest of Article 121 which covers that aspect as separate from normal gay sex.
Pederasty when committed with physical violence, a threat, or with respect to a minor, or when taking advantage of the dependent position of the injured party shall be punishable by deprivation of freedom for a period not to exceed eight years.
A man loving a man got you 5 years in prison, a paedo abusing a male child or raping a man got you 8 in the Soviet Union.
Let’s take the duty of a state, such as caring for its citizens and divide it up amongst 1000s of little groups each with highly paid CEOs, CFOs, and COOs and huge costs spent on advertising and fundraising! Oh and you get zero democratic say in these organisations or how they’re run.
I’d rather see my money going towards healthcare, education, social services, etc.

Because most people don’t give a shit about her until she’s in the news and she was recently all over the news?
I remember people making jokes about it last year on reddit too, so they only come up when she becomes relevant to most of us.
I find the whole “you’re just criticising a billionaire because she’s a woman” angle or “it’s because right wing smear campaign” to be much more sus. Obvs some PR firm working overtime to frame negative remarks about her as something more sinister.
Her, musk, and any other billionaire deserves to be eaten. No remorse for these shitscum.
On Friday, protesters fired flares in the air and demanded Netanyahu step down. Mounted police and trucks blocked their way.

Israelis don’t give a shit about what they’ve done to Palestinians, only that they themselves have been affected.
See how the complaints are always “he’s to blame for the security failures” and never “he’s to blame for funding Hamas, causing suffering and devastation to an entire peoples allowing them to become so desperate they act radically”.
Zero sympathy or remorse for their own actions, both present and historical. They’ll learn nothing from this except “we should aim more guns at the wall.”
Fuck the far-right nation of Israel’s and the people who vote them into power time and time again.
What made Baldurs Gate 3 great wasn’t DnD it was Larian. Same for BG 1/2 and old BioWare.
You can’t just create that level of care by pumping out lots of games, they’ll probably fill them with MTX or GaaS bullshit to try and get more money from it as well.
