Kleptocracies gonna klept 🤷

Nah .ml dying is great for the fediverse. Actually the denizens of .ml dying irl would be great for the world too

Whom vs who of ballistics dissembling. If it was a chunk of teleprompter that nicked him the bullet must have been only slightly off.

Not my cat but I’ve seen cats just do this randomly in sleep

Adorable

Gotta say I read the article and Musk never says anything like knowing Trump will lose to Harris.

Is this cause he wouldn’t confirm the amount he’s donating?

Nearly! Wow.

49% disapproval rating…ye gods that’s high. Pick literally anyone else. Even Biden yeesh

Not a student of history apparently. Ever hear about the bombing of Dresden?

One immutable truth of wars is that aggressors set the rules. Hamas likes to fight in schools and hospitals…they’re straight up monsters - the people who support them aren’t much better.

“A total of 20 people, including a senior Hamas government official, were reportedly killed in three earlier strikes at two other Unrwa-run schools in Nuseirat and a church-run school in Gaza City.”

Hamas loves their human shields

Well they probably were terrorists. It’s not like they’re having classes lol

I mean they do. Ever seen Saturday night live?

Oh you’re actually German? It’s been while since I was last there but it is less a race issue from what Germans mentioned- the issue with the Syrians was than a culture problem. Hard-line Islamic society meets liberal west was always going to be rough. Like having to ignore the paedophilia laws when they arrived with child brides…messy situation.

I’m definitely not saying the Syrians didn’t deserve sanctuary. However perhaps a country with a vaguely similar culture and language might have been better for them too? It’s a sensitive subject but surely you think every group of refugees can’t end up taking the train the Germany?

What’s your idea for the next wave? The one after, and so on?

Exactly. We need a working system for asylum before then! Open door really isn’t practical…if you have a better suggestion than mine I’m all ears

Side note literally everyone you mentioned was Caucasian 😂

Well…it’s been broken for a while I’ll give you that. Not a reason to stop trying to fix things Also a world war is obviously not going to have similar levels of displaced.

Honestly asylum and illegal immigration is one of the largest levers the right has - easy to stoke fear right? Wouldn’t fixing it remove that lever?

As bonus bonus points it’d allow the millions of currently displaced to have a home and stops the source of people smuggling and ends a huge source of human suffering.

We need to start focusing less on admitting people in and more on improving countries so there’s less inequality. Asylum is fundamentally flawed at present.

The asylum system is broken af. We need something but it’s not working as is. Millions displaced and more coming and they can’t all fit in the west.

How about a buddy system? Each country picks a couple of hopefully nearby countries with similar cultures and language. The buddy countries guarantee citizenship for displaced people from their country. The west agrees to assist financially with repatriation. For bonus points this also provides incentive for the buddy countries to push for stability.

Dick move Putin.

Good. ‘Lawful’ interception is total nonsense. They’d have a camera up everyone’s ass if they could.

As it is our TVs bloody listen to us…1984 is here.
