See the whole video. Adam is using a clickbait title but the problem is actually a local Dutch government not the bros themselves, and the solution is a tram train.
Eyes on the ball, it's the policies that matter. If we start seeing watering down of the policies, shoot away, but this on its own means little.
We (the rest of the world) need to de-yankify our trade relations as soon as we can.
That's not the own you think it is.
Instead: if even countries like China, Indonesia and Turkey can stand against the Gaza Genocide, what the fuckity fuck is stopping YOUR country for standing against it?
Like, remember when Al Qaeda condemned Isis as being too extreme? That really tells you something about Isis, doesn't it?
Edit: disclosure, my own ancestors were butchered by the Turks.
As an allophone: it isn't?
Ok, now go "inform" your shitty corpo democrats that they should PANDER BETTER to their own fucking electorate. Signed, a Canadian sick of stupid American politics. Do better yanks.
Turn off their power.
An ecosocialist world would not allow wealth inequality to become this bad.
We don't live in one. The challenge is to make one.
It’s a biological fact when resources are constrained that a population will plateu.
Mice and fleas don't have medicine, feminism, research centres and agriculture. Look at the world around you. In societies with high degrees of scarcity and high infant mortality, humans have tended to have a lot of babies. This is true now, and it was true historically. On the flipside, in societies with high development indexes, humans tend to not have many kids. From Japan to Sweden to Cuba, you see that fertility rates inversely correlate with human development. These are just observable facts.
LMDE because I get the robustness of Debian stable and the quality of life goodies of Mint.
I mean, the "I'm sorry if it makes me an ecofascist, but" line was a dead giveaway from the start.
Bob Vylan gets flak for supposedly preaching hatred and wishing death to the IDF at Glastonbury, as if wishing for the destruction of a genocidal army is the same as advocating for violence against people, much less a People.
Well, in 1998, Bob Dylan sung these lyrics, addressed to the "masters of war" :
And I hope that you die and your death will come soon
I will follow your casket by the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave 'til I'm sure that you're dead
Hear it here, on 37:04: https://youtu.be/fHE6XBWM_yA?t=2224
In a sense, Bob Dylan was in fact more extreme than Bob Vylan, since he's talking about actual dying people as opposed to institutions.
In any case, Bob Vylan with their "Death to the IDF" slogan is in very good company.
Alt-text: Screenshot of a social media post. It shows a promotional image for Bob Vylan's live performance at Glastonbury, showing text that it is scheduled for Saturday from 14:30 to 15:30 at West Holts. The image features two smiling members of the band against a purple background with BBC and Glastonbury logos. Text above is written by the band (with a verified check mark) and reads, “Turns out we’re finally at a point where the BBC trust us on live tv! Watch us live either in the field or in the comfort of your own home!”
Let's acknowledge that that's a framing that assigns bad faith to one group of countries and good faith to another, right?
