BrokebackHampton@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•US to relist Yemen's Houthis as specially designated global terrorists, AP sources say164·1 year agoIt’s a concerted effort by western media to delegitimize them through language. I’ve often heard “Houthi rebels” which makes the intention very clear. Ansar Allah is the proper name like you said, and not only were they the de facto government of Yemen before, but also the recent US/UK bombing campaign is making more and more Yemenis unite behind Ansar Allah.

BrokebackHampton@kbin.socialto worldnews@lemmy.world•EU freezes aid payments for Palestinians after Hamas attack on Israel53·2 years agoThe EU should be ashamed of how incredibly hypocritical its diplomacy and foreign policy is showing itself to be in the last few months of international events.
It’s been like that for far longer but now it’s harder for people not to realize how low is to do all this grandstanding about evil Hamas killing those poor Israeli civilians while looking the other way and letting Azerbaijan do just whatever the fuck they want in Nagorno-Karabakh because we so desperately need their gas.
Where was all this “the scale of terror and brutality makes it so there can be no business as usual” energy then? Are we going to start calling Armenians terrorists in order to justify that one too?Europe has deciduous morals with a shelf life of half a Truss.
BrokebackHampton@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Hezbollah bombards Israeli positions in disputed area along border with Syria’s Golan Heights85·2 years agoSurely you understand the meaning of consensual.
I don’t see how the military hegemony you openly spouse could lead to any sort of consensual agreement. Hegemony, by definition, is directly opposed to consensus.
Next thing you’ll tell me the settler colonialism and de facto apartheid state Israel is directly enabling are absolutely necessary, for geopolitical reasons obviously.
Besides all that, if the point you’re trying to make is that Israel needs the military spending to maintain its territorial integrity, I seriously question they would need 38bn USD in foreign aid just for that.
And that would be ignoring the fact Israel has been increasingly extending its territorial integrity over palestinian land for the duration of the conflict, and will continue to do so. Not a lot of “two-state solution” in that.

No. Legally they are property
According to which laws, exactly? My country has animal wellbeing laws that classify pets as companions and living beings, their legal status is explicitly above personal property.

Billionaires’ fortunes are built not only on the back of workers through surplus value extraction and wage theft but also on the back of the state through mind-blowing amounts of tax break loopholes, special benefits and downright money handouts.
So what do they contribute? They don’t innovate, they pay someone else to innovate which usually means incorporating publicly funded tech.
And to no one’s surprise, most of them come up with stupid half-cooked ideas that don’t contribute to society at all. Almost like if you directly gave the funding to those with the technological knowledge to develop the products the company is making, you would end up with much better products with less enshittification and profit-driven planned obsolescence that plagues us today. Almost like the CEO is just a parasite.

BrokebackHampton@kbin.socialto World News@lemmy.ml•Elon Musk seen as working counter to U.S. interests in dealings with Russia, China23·2 years agoOne of the reasons billionaires managed to gather so much power and influence in our current system is because they are more coordinated and way better at class warfare than us workers.
I’d say that and the obvious mind-boggling amounts of hoarded wealth are the two main ones. And never forget those billions are, for the most part, stolen from workers through wage theft, which circles back to billionaires waging class war on us.
