World News@lemmy.ml•Jerusalem welcomes opening of world's first Indigenous Embassy
24·2 years agothis is some of the wackiest Zionist bullshit I’ve seen of all time, what the entire fuck
My understanding is that it means going, loosely, to the opposite side of the state of the major metropolitan area in that state. Upstate NY is the northwest part, upstate MA is the west part, upstate PA is the northeast part. I’m looking around, and it seems to also 1) only be used on a few states, 2) usually is on the north half (but not always), and 3) is somewhat interchangable with “rural”.
Start with young adult fiction! You wouldn’t go to the gym and immediately rack up to your old max, lift lighter first. I went thru a reading desert for like 5 years after leaving school, I tried banging my head against political theory and falling off over and over and over until I decided to read The Hate U Give. I blew through it, it got me into the habit of sitting down and reading words on a page, and I’ve been reading at least a book a month since.

171·2 years agoWhether or not this is true, which I’m not going to address, DPRK is 1) not a settler colonial state, 2) not doing apartheid, and 3) not in the process of growing their own borders into neighboring territory, which are three very large and important differences to consider no matter how you feel about DPRK

this is just how it’s supposed to go when you have a thing like the Hannibal Directive
It’s because you’re not using the same muscle groups. Simply set the pickle jar on the ground, put your power foot on the jar, grip the lid, and heave with your entire lower back and glutes in the open direction

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•America is now the most unequal society in the developed world. Our billionaires are the richest, and our poor people are the poorest of any functioning democracy on Earth
4·2 years ago“our poor people are the poorest of any functioning democracy on Earth” - Does this mean that the author doesn’t count the developing world as functioning democracies, but does count all of the developed world as functioning democracies?

95·2 years ago“Our poor people are the poorest” sounds suspect to be honest - Haiti? Congo? If you count $200K in student loan debt as poorer than $0 across the board, sure, but if you go by actual quality of life, there’s no way.

52·2 years agoI kind of think you’d have a different tune if this were Putin to be honest, wanna talk about why? In my mind, all of the appeals to civility are just status quo worship veiled in “human decency” that 1) doesn’t consider the good that would be brought to the world by his passing and 2) isn’t extended to anyone outside of the status quo power structure.
