Protectionism only really makes sense if you’re a country without native industrial capacities and trying to industrialise. Even that is debatable.
Russia used to be a major world power with highly developed heavy industry and okay-ish light industry. A lot of that has been poorly maintained since the fall of the USSR but the factories are still there. Protectionism makes little sense here.
Ireland too :(
Article says the rebels going in are Islamists. Sadly, I don’t think life will get much better in Syria and will definitely worsen in Kurdistan.
Damn, TIL. Thank you.
And for the first time in my life, thank you Erdogan.
NATO has not changed its position, that’s the thing.

There is a very good reason the Irish care about Neutrality. The Montrealites are not so different.
Edit: Thank you Chairman Meow for telling me about this: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkey-blocks-nato-israel-cooperation-over-gaza-war-sources-say-2024-08-01/
I mean, that’s how cotton is produced nowadays too, except Uyghurs are the ones doing it.
I do, actually!
I love FreeDOS and occasionally use it, and not just for vidya.
Windoze must die! Long live DOS!

Twitter is not a free platform. It actively suppresses the voices of the left and protects the far right.
I do sincerely support free speech. I think it looks a lot more like the Fediverse than Twitter.

Under Trinitarianism, God would be a they/them, because they’re literally several people.
According to the common understanding of the doctrine of virgin birth, Mary got impregnated through the Holy Spirit rather than The Father rawdogging her. This suggests that the Holy Spirit is a dick and thus probably male.
The Father is, according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, not a man or a woman. That being said, neither Hebrew nor Aramaic nor Koine Greek have gender-neutral pronouns (except perhaps calling The Father “it” in Koine Greek, which would be hilarious but sadly would not be approved of by a killjoy like Paul).
Thanks, fellow worker
Can someone please explain? I don’t get it.

I interact with enough tankies to tell you in advance.
In the view of tankies, Russia isn’t imperialist due to some weaseling with how they define imperialism in economic terms.
The US, on the other hand, is as imperialist in tankies’ minds as it is in reality.
Thus, to to them, Russia is waging an anti-imperialist war with the long-term goal of establishing a “multi-polar” world.
Thus, the tankie conclusion is that NK is heroically sending in the soldiers to help fight imperialism.
I see no need to try and explain why this is wrong. That’s left as an exercise for the reader.

Good on the media for using the active voice for once
