You trust that the system of governance is immune to corruption and law breaking, that it’s infallible. It very much is, and “oh we lost this time but we’ll beat facism at the next vote” is exactly how they keep getting away with shit. Elections are treated as a blank slate, fresh start, when they are not, even if there is another election and we win we’ll have to fight to restore the rule of law and the systems to a state before all of this.
A king is a dictator, they have unlimited power. Plus there’s the context of the US breaking off from the UK because they didn’t want a king anymore. You could use “dictator” instead as the modern term but then you lose out on the historical connection pointing out the irony.
Didn’t they already do that once?
Way to miss the depth of the point made in the message you’re replying to
The difference I suppose is deliberately looking for it vs the algorithm feeding it to them
Is it possible there wasn’t much census data between 500 AD and 1500 AD in the regions we’re seeing a big explosion of people?
Why would you assume the worst like that? Wth
Just because that’s been proven to be the right approach now doesn’t mean it was when they just took government. If I say “oh this movie is terrible no one should watch it” just as it hit theatres when no one’s really given it a watch yet, I can’t come back later if it turns out it was bad and say “I told you so”, a lot of the early criticism was unfounded just because things weren’t moving fast enough.
Just one more immigrant removed and life will get better, we promise /s
Sure? Impossible. But you’re on Lemmy in the News section of lemmy.world, I’d be surprised if they weren’t.
It’s sarcasm
Sounds sarcastic to me
My first interaction here has been to ask for sources on your claims, I don’t know where you got fanboyism, that’s basic argumentation, you make the argument and provide examples, others refute them with other examples.
I find it funny that in the end it was still someone else who came forward with links to articles, weird hill to die on for you to not just do it yourself, but thank you for linking to the person linking articles.
Oh no, I think you know I am right. We can go on and on and on, any fact-less statement you say I can turn back on you because no one is bringing any references so what I’m saying is just as valid. You can save us all the time waste and actually link your sources instead of acting like you’re too good for that.
Mate you either speak reason or shut up, I can literally say you’re Putin’s alt account, my words mean nothing without proof, and same with yours, so either add something of value or don’t say anything at all, tired of your copy pasted messages of no substance.
You’re making the statements, you bring the receipts.
Can you provide interviews or clips where he’s been a promoter of russian propaganda?
That I feel is the biggest issue with religion, sure it makes one feel more comfortable about their own eventual demise, but it also means they can point to someone else when otherwise they would show empathy, to the point it gets to victim blaming. “They should’ve repented”, “they must’ve done something to draw such ire, and this is punishment”, it makes it easy to push agency on helping others onto them for not praying hard enough to the right god, instead of understanding the circumstances this stuff are more than “good person gets good results, bad person gets punishments”. I think it’s the perfect device for rich people too to co opt, with success being seen as something they earned through skill, that makes them superior to regular people, so there’s a reason there’s a big overlap between rich and powerful people and religious groups.
They are a major backer though I think
Tidal is ok for now but it doesn’t really run ads so who knows what they might be supporting behind the scenes
