No, public companies and cooperatives are completely different things

The investors is not who they’re talking about sharing profits with

Big time

This is literally western media talking about it? Wdym about an “omerta”

It’s been the media consensus - at least on the left - that this amounts to genocide for quite a while now.

I did a quick search in the guardian, and they’ve been publishing articles regularly about it for well over a year at this point.

It means they believe the evidence they have is sufficient to show that it is genocide when considered together.

What’s confusing you here?

But the standards for an organisation like Amnesty International saying a state is committing genocide are much higher than a random person on the internet.

To make a claim like that, they have to have specific evidence satisfying the actual definitions in international law, which is what this whole report is about. It’s all well and good for you to go “well it’s obvious to me”, but that doesn’t meet the standards of evidence for a reputable NGO like them to make a statement like that.

They agree with your stance, so I’m not sure I understand why your response to them - explicitly - saying “this is genocide” is to chew them out for it.

That’s not what they said at all

I think the Brazilian coup was actually more viable than you might think, he probably could have pulled it off if it wasn’t for a small handful of military members who refused to take part.

Jan 6th was pathetic fr though

I’ve been baffled by this south Korean attempt, too, though. The consensus seems to be that he’d assumed his own party would back him (which presumably would have been enough that the opposition couldn’t form a majority against his declaration). I suppose he must have had strong military support to be so (overly) confident.

Regardless of whether the UK rejoins the EU, though, they’re still the most important trading partner, and it’s important to maintain a healthy relationship with the bloc

Ruble DESTROYED by US sanctions

Making decisions and recognizing a state are fundamentally different things though, right?

Recognition is a very specific thing where a nation formally acknowledges their existence as a state, which also affects their ability to e.g. make diplomatic agreements.

But doing so is totally separate from how you act toward that nation in practice.

Russia, for example, recognises Ukraine as a country (currently), but actively does not respect their right to self-determination or their internationally recognised borders. But it would be wrong to claim that they don’t recognise Ukraine, despite that.

Got a source for this? Last I saw the ceasefire seems to still be holding, if tenuously

The short answer is about the same as yesterday.

The ceasefire defines a 60 day window for them to gradually withdraw (at an agreed rate), while Hezbollah moves away to the north and the Lebanese military move into the south.

RJ45 and HMDI in particular are way thicker than usb-c

Sure, but you’ll notice I explicitly referenced that when I said hamas is incentivised to minimise risk of them being hit by Israeli strikes, especially by keeping them separately in members’ homes and in tunnels. The same goes for starvation, in that, if at all possible, hamas actively wants to keep them fed enough to survive, where that isn’t at the cost of starving to death themselves.

You’re right that some/many (maybe even most, I have no data wrt specific numbers) of the hostages have, and will continue to die due to Israel’s actions, but that’s significantly different from your initial claim of “every single hostage is dead”

Yes indeed, sadly the US is not a signatory

I’m a big fan of starting the command with a #, then removing it once I’m happy with the command to defend against accidentally hitting enter

Putting ~ next to the enter key on keyboards (at least UK ones) was an evil villain level decision

Specifically, it’s when it’s sanctioned through the legal system (as opposed to murders and state-sanctioned but extra-judicial killings)

I mean I’m inclined to believe so, given both hamas and Israel claim it’s the case

Hamas are incentivised to not kill them arbitrarily (or put them at risk of being killed in Israeli strikes) because it’s their primary bargaining chip, and Israel are incentivised to avoid targeting them for political reasons

I mean it’s done quite a lot to diplomatically isolate them, right? Putin couldn’t go to South Africa for BRICS, he couldn’t attend the G20 summit this week, and presumably lots of other trips he hasn’t done that he would have otherwise intended to

In Israel’s case, I expect this will be a pain for Netanyahu more than it has been for Putin, since the set of countries that are neither ICC signatories nor actively hostile to Israel is a pretty short list

And a series of words that sounds kinda like a complex sentence when you listen to it, but actually means nothing whatsoever

And he says to me… a very smart guy, Mark, he’s really doing… he’s really got to show… when he does things he really does them, you know, like he really does, very impressive, very modern
