It’s slowly becoming a mainstream opinion that only nuclear weapons can lead to true sovereignty.

Unfortunately, in a world where empire does as it pleases, the logic is sound. It is the most cost effective military deterrence there is. The scourge of nuclear proliferation will once again hang over our heads for the foreseeable future.

Could I ask what are the long, medium and short term goals for the group you’re trying to organize?

For now, just to find like-minded people and even just see if there is any interest. I admit I haven’t thought of long term goals, because I’m not sure if anyone will show up and if they do, what kind of people they will be.

Did you already identify key contradictions playing out in your community and are interested in trying to solve them?

I am an immigrant, so the main goal is to create some community and I think a community centred around reading and the desire to share and discuss is exactly what I want.

Unfortunately, I’m still a beginner in the local language… but the city is relatively international and many locals are part of the group.

To liberals it’s all just regime change.

All he did was reveal US’ true face to the world.

Let’s just hope that people won’t be fooled by land of the free propaganda the next time a democrat is elected.

The US has always been a rougue state with complete disregard for the sovereignty of any other nation or the human rights of any other people. Trump at least is honest about the callousness of the US-led empire.

You should condisider contributing to ProleWiki (https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/ProleWiki:Main_page). That way you can add your research to the collective knowledge of our community.

It might stop them from unleashing anticommunist terrorism all around Europe (e.g. gladio in Italy).

You should be careful taking the conclusions of single studies too seriously. Due to the methods underlying statistical significance testing, results from signal studies are highly unreliable and should be taken with a large grain of salt.

Additionally, the study you linked is not an intervention, therefore there is a high likelihood that unknown covariates had an impact on the observed group differences.

Of course, one’s scepticism should be in proportion to an intervention’s risk, and eating more fruit and vegetables seems, naively, quite low risk.

Also, something being observable at a neural level doesn’t not make it permanent or genetically determined.

Sad to see him double down on reactionary takes, hopefully JT or Hakim can talk some sense into him.

They might need to do a self-criticism episode where they examine their own shortcomings if they want to retain their credibility.

Making mistakes is fine, but you need to be able to take accountability and self-examine to be a “public figure” in this community.

Beautiful, Im saving this quote!

The science suggests that some features of social media function can harm some young people’s mental health. These include, but are not limited to, algorithmically driven distortions of reality exacerbating harmful content and disinformation, the distraction away from time that can otherwise be used in more healthy ways, and the creation of opportunities where youth can be abused or exploited. However, there are also several ways in which social media improve the lives of youth, including the creation of opportunities for community among more marginalized youth, and the opportunity for fun and joy for the vast majority of users.

Every generation parents engage in a moral panic to ban something because it is destroying the youth. You lot are doing the same and contributing to a movement that will harm everyone and eventually lead to the destruction of platforms like Lemmy.

Think twice before joining the like of those who, in past generations, wanted to ban videogames, pagers, comic books and even novels for young people. Did the harm ever materialise? Or are we just as fucked up as every generation before us.

Is it social media or is it the looming exiction event before us and the politicians that gleefully line their pockets with the profits of genocide and ecocide?

Please, I beg you, THINK before feuling a moral panic.

There is an Italian historian (Alberto Grandi) that actually agrees with the POV that carbonara was invented for the american occupation and there are no source citing the recipie until the 1950s.

Liberal democracy reveals it’s true face once more.

What a charade.

Stop partaking in moral panics… there is little to no evidence that social media or phone harm young people.

I’ll definitely keep those perspectives in mind when reading. When will westerm Marxists stop dragging the USSR at any chance they get?

I’m starting to think this is all shadow play to increase European support for militarisation. Europeans are not going to support war with their current levels of comfort. They need to feel afraid, threatened for all side.

Trump is just helping that process along, maybe he makes a one-sided dead around “securing” Greenland and their resources along the way. It’s a win-win.

Europe is going off the deep end with mass hysteria.

Maybe Canada? Since the US is clearly in Canada’s sphere of influence.
