Dear fellow lemmyfriends: underestimate European nationalism, low key racism and stupidity at your own peril. Europeans will not worship at the altar of Musk but they will worship at the altar of whichever local fascist stooge Musk funds.
super offended, couldn’t sleep all night
bonne journée
The Arabic countries are more aligned with Russia and China?
Saudi, Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Tunisia: are we a joke to you?
Dragonslayers. We need dragonslayers. 🐉 🗡️
I honestly think the continuum existed before the Ottomans. Take the Mediterannean and start mixing in everything from Persians, Armenians and Arabs to Romans, Slavs and Greeks. Everything is related to everything else and has a history from 3000BC and roots from Spain to Mongolia. Take a greco-roman cake, add persian confectionaries and let it marinate in the Ottoman empire, and presto a new thing.
I’ve some of them in my family and my friend circles, so, yes sure.
It was a shitty move when Harper did it, it is shitty when Trudeau does it. If the rules allow it, we should change the rules.
Greek baklava also is typically made with butter and walnuts, whereas Turkish baklava is with pistachios and oil.
All that said, it’s all part of the Eastern Mediterranean cultural continuum, it’s all one thing and the flag you put on it matters less and less the more you learn about it.
On a hot day, after hiking up some distance, in the shade, with a tall glass of cold water. Welcome to Greece.
Thoughts and prayers.
We don’t want their guns, the litigiousness, the exceptionalism and the arrogance, but other than that, we actually love Americans.
I call for the Mercedes-Benz CEO to go fuck himself.
Alberta could be a renewables powerhouse, with solar and wind like nobody’s business, but nooooo we have to lick the boots of oil and gas no matter what.
She’s even betraying Alberta. Yes, because “Alberta” is not the same as “the oil and gas industry”.
The conservative oil boot-lickers in Alberta have decided that the province must suffer Dutch Disease no matter what and at the expense of everyone else.
You can still streamline the process and make it so that it’s not one size fits all. You can have bilateral agreements of credentials recognition. There is no reason for example an Italian trained doctor (anecdotal story I happen to know) would have to go back to med school to practice in Canada.
I’m not American, but I am very much a Westerner.
I can protest my government’s shitty politics. I can vote in politicians that amplify the message. I can donate to politicians in other jurisdictions than mine that have good politics. MPs and MEPs that represent me and people who think like me have taken brave stances, have thrown wrenches, have done what they could. One day, just like we stopped South African Apartheid, we WILL stop Israeli Apartheid, and you can shove your cynicism up yours.
Are Chinese citizens allowed to do ANY of that?
No way there is no desire path Delta at the end of the main path where it officially meets the pavement.
Hey, Owen Jones made a good point: they Israelis are saying that Trump’s envoy was the first time the Americans actually applied pressure. Meaning the Democrats have not been doing jack shit for a year now.
