Nah, China had a civil war that spanned WW2, it was only after that that Asia became a manufacturing base for western companies.

Before then western countires did their own things in factories.

Think of all the toys that contain plastic, from lego (1949), to barbie (1959), to most electronics, they didn’t exist as we know them today prior to WW2.

Before then toys were mostly made of wood and metals like tin, and were made more locally and nationally. People had jobs in factories over here, rather than over there.

So… can he feel the rock in there?

It’s backwards, the guy got angry about his work taking his time during the day, or maybe he did some overtime…

Then he hit something called “revenge bedtime procrastination” - which is when you take back time at night, because you feel like something or someone took too much of your time during the day.

Also, don’t buy anything from Temu. Most things from there have lead in them (even clothing), and most products don’t meet safety standards. Temu is a death trap… Also the app us malware infested and even leaves malware and spyware on your phone after you delete the app!

The names are there on the Wikipedia page I’ve link in black and white. You deciding that it’s a conspiracy theory simply because one name is that of a Rothschild, and another that of an ex CIA director, doesn’t change the facts (eg. That they are invested in the company responsible for the exploration and extraction of oil in the area. Similar to Cheney’s Haliburton during the Iraq campaign. This sort of thing is more common that you probably realize).

As for how poor and hungry citizens might face up to the bullets and tanks of a brutal regime, this video describes some of how that might go (making clear that all changes of power need wealthy backing/arms):

Your view of the world sounds quite idealic to me, I wish it were the case. I wish the people simply overthrew the dictator in a simple good vs bad conflict. I really wish the world was that way. I really do.

Wow, what a coincidence that waaay back in 2009, James Woolsey (ex-CIA director), Dick Cheney, Rupert Murdoch, and a member of the Rothschild family all just happened to invest big time in an oil company trying to make this happen:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_Energy#Genie_Oil_and_Gas

Why it’s almost like the geopolitical and military industrial complex wanted it to happen just to serve them - the ruling classes. Isn’t that just a whacky coincidence.

I’m sure a country wasn’t ruined to do just that right? Surely not. Why that would be like the ruling classes and supposed “democracy” we have in the west is just thinly veiled system of Colonial Capitalism, operating no different to 100 years ago.

This was all planned long ago, back in the 2000s, James Woolsey (ex head of the CIA), Jacob Rothschild, Dick Cheney, and Rupert Murdoch all invested large sums of money onto Genoe Energy, the oil exploration company charged with surveying and drilling the contested Golan Heights area which is just outside of Israel’s border.

…the problem? It’s in Syria. So now it will become Israel’s as they bomb the area in preparation for settlement (straight up Colonialism, it never ended just become one of the many under handed behaviors enabled under Capitalism).

So this is the planning, the investments from the wealthy ruling class members of multiple countries, the political lobbying, and the geopolitical military industrial complex that serves that ruling class, all coming together.

So anyways, that’s what I interpret this image to be about. Genie Energy has a Wikipedia page that can confirm the above details if anyone is interested.

P.S I suspect Turkey is represented for contributing fighters and doing administration, or being part of the carve up. But perhaps someone more familiar with that can add more about their involvement. They stood to benefit no matter who “won”.

I feel like these four panels (or the basic story/theme) should be made into the “hello world” of comic drawing.

No they want to know the instance for the greatest free speech, without someone saying “discord bans hexbear links”, repeatedly as if anyone asked about what discord does.

Haha, your post that’s “been up for a month” has been up for a week dude. Don’t just lie to me so overtly. Anyone can click your lemmy link and see it says 1w.

Also, you’re comparing the OP which is for ALL OF Lemmy.world, to the post you linkedbon Reddit, which is for a single Popculture related subreddit? r/Popculture is just one sub my guy. You’re not being serious here. You’re being defensive and making argumentative mistakes.

There is nothing forbidding you from talking positively about what happened or dunking on Thompson.

‘glorifying violence’, and hence against the ToS:

We are generally aiming to avoid content organizing, glorifying or suggesting to harm people or animals, but we are limiting the scope of our ToS to build the minimum framework inside which we all can have discussions, leaving a broader area for moderators to decide what is and isn’t allowed in the communities they oversee. We trust the moderators judgement and in cases where we see a gross disagreement between moderatos and admins’ criteria we can have a conversation and reach an agreement, as in many cases the decision is case-specific and context matters.

As they say earlier, they’re not in the US they’re in Western Europea and so trying to pussy foot on free speech.

The problem is they’re being mealy mouthed cowards still in writing this long verbose post. So it’s obscuratan managereal talk still.

Just say either: “we are going based on least harm so are allowing for the idea/posts that say killing CEOs doing mass-harm is allowed as long as it’s not written with specific instructions on how to do that”, or “we are against any positive talk of violence to beings/creatures” (which is what they say in part above).

You know if you’re going to run a platform you should just go read the speech codes of the laws where it is located, then interpret them broadly in proportion to the profits or net value of the site (which is generally how courts approach such things, eg. “you are a small site, with not many users we accept you may have trouble with moderation”). Especially if you’re a user/volunteer run, and distributed site/app, that’s not profit driven. General that means there’s no just and proportional reason or target organization for fines.

The problem with Lemmy is that they aren’t aiming for anything Reddit hasn’t already. If you’re going to take this “we’re Federated and distributed” approach, you have to consider these things, and even have some plans on changing server locations as soon as you receive a legal threat.

You want to be something different to Reddit via being Federated? Learn to duck and weave systems of controlbas per your structure. Don’t just become a blander version of Reddit. That’s sad… and for goodness sakes, don’t beat around the bush like this. Make stark definitions so we all know what ball game we’re playing and why.

You’re comparing Reddit removing links to his Manifesto, with Lemmy.world removing comments and posts seen as glorifying the righteous actions he allegedly took, or thinking through the morality of it?

Reddit WASN’T doing that. Lemmy.world WAS.

Likewise given the mod post we’re commenting on, it’s likely Lemmy.world would ALSO remove links to his manifesto.

So yes, there is scope to say there’s more free speech on Reddit on this issue.

It is unclear which instances you’re recommending for better levels of free speech (I asked about Lemmy instances, not discord, a different service entirely).

This death note book, I’d be more into having it for the fact it comes with an imaginary friend.

Reddit was the free speech instance all along? Honestly, with the mods clarifying this I’m asking myself - why the fuck am I on Lemmy again?

It’s the chicken and the egg.

He was later rejected by his family and ended up homeless and struggling.

If you’re not up with Zivvy and Karen Pink, then you aren’t up with current events. No cap fire on my lawd. \s

People keep saying the family is so wealthy, but if that’s true; even they couldn’t keep up with the medical bills.

Yep, it should always be a surprise attack. Your employer is NEVER your friend. You will always have competing interests.

Their aim is to exploit you, your aim is to be well paid for doing very little (eg. The fabled “cushy job” scenario).

There’s no room for a friendship, it’s adversarial. You’re cordial to get along until there’s a viable move to make.

I’ve had multiple comments deleted on Lemmy about the UHC shooting.

So like a pub, only less deadly, with less fights and alcohol poisoning.
