In other news

In other news

In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there are important, interesting or just plain weird things happening out there and a group of people can find these better than one.

I thought I would test with a thread for linking general news articles about "other news" and discussion. Perhaps it goes into the abyss that is page 2 and beyond, but it is worth a try.

Some guidelines:
- Try to find the "clean link", so that links to the news site directly and not a social media site. Avoid "amp-links" (google).
- Write some cliff notes on what it is about, especially if it is a video.
- It's not an excuse to make outlandish claims via proxy or link extremist content.
- If it's an editorial or opinion piece, it is polite to mark it as such.
- Note the language if it is not in English.
- There is no demand that such things be posted here, if you think a piece merits its own thread, then make one.

this is why the culture war woke agenda is bullshit. its meant to obscure. its meant to create and cultivate reactionary ideas. and its only end goal and result is that we now get to fight over if we should have trans generals and lesbian spokespeople in the white house and trans people doing war crimes. if we get those things, then the good guys win. Biden has those now! and if you vote for Trump then we wont have equality in who mur

Sorry but it's illegal to claim trans people can do war crimes.

You will be reached by your local trans руководитель shortly


Comrade Luciom, you have a place on the train of this revolution. You have been like so many others, the best revolutionaries. One of the engineers on the locomotive of this train that pulls this revolution on the tracks of historical necessity laid out for it by zee party.


Meanwhile in Italy the number of over 80 people just surpassed the number of under 10 people.


Do with less. Solved. Next

Not for long, I'd think. Well, at least not the same over 80's.

Sounds like a solid case for immigration. They are young and breed like rabbits.

perhaps some day they will reach the same protective status as Israeli's.




Never too late to stop philosophizing.

Do you think a majority of people in any society have ever cared much about whether or not some foreigners with a very different culture die? More than domestic issues which affect them personally?

I guarantee you that no one is plotting how to distract Americans so they don't care about deaths in Muslim countries.
No one needs to obscure anything, because no one has ever cared about the things you want them to care about.


Americans didnt care about the Iraq war says chilrob. good point.

Americans caring about American soldiers being deployed and American tax money being spent means Americans cared about Iraqis says Victor. Even better point.

It must take a lot of work for you to make some of your points make sense in your own head.

Do you think you might be projecting your own misanthropy onto others as a coping mechanism?


He's not a misanthrope. He told me so, so it must be true.

when its US soldiers and money being used to kill Iraqis, we def cared.

anyway, if you and chilrob want to think this

I guarantee you that no one is plotting how to distract Americans so they don't care about deaths in Muslim countries.

then I really cant help you. I kinda envy your ignorance and naivety about the media and government actually.


It could be that all their plots to distract Americans have come to fruition and that now they no longer need to try.


Or it could be all bollocks

No that's not a possibility.


Eh it might be now.

Why are you repeating what I said as though you are explaining it to me rather than the other way round? Is this your defence mechanism of dealing with being wrong? Deluding yourself that this was your position all along and it's everyone else who doesn't get it?


ofc it was my position. I even wrote it out. you seriously need to work on your comprehension if you want to continue to interact with me.

They cared when Americans were dying, that's it.

Lol. Your communication skills are absolute dogshit bro. You said Americans are distracted from caring about Muslims dying and used that they cared about Iraq as an example. I said they cared about Americans dying in Iraq, not Muslims. You then said "of course".


nope, reread the first post again. nothing about muslims dying! its all from the perspective of Americans. I said wokeness is used a distraction from Americans doing war crimes.

You really need to work on your communication skills. The post you responded to, directly above your response, was talking about Muslims dying.
