News@lemmy.world•US anti-fascism expert blocked from flying to Spain at airport
4·1 month agoIdk, there’s that old saying “never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.” And having interacted with the airline industry in this country it’s not hard to imagine. Not that I’d put this past the current powers that be. But without more information we’ll probably never get it’s hard to say.

World News@lemmy.world•Anti-foreigner sentiments are on the rise as Japan faces a population crisisEnglish
27·1 month agoRacism and xenophobia aside, how many humans do we need? Our poor earth. A declining population is probably an ok thing. I think it’s the capitalist class ringing the alarm bell as they see their profit forecasts take a blow. How many hundreds of millions should that island hold?

News@lemmy.world•Alabama priest investigated after woman alleges ‘private companionship’ arrangement beginning at 17
9·3 months agoI guess for most of history they were allowed to have mistresses. An arrangement I’m sure was also rife with abuse.
The original idea as far as I understand it, was to prevent dynasties emerging within the church. Making the church a thing that “rose above nations”, not just another country with a pointy hat for a crown.
But yes, I agree. Let the priests fuck (consenting adults) already.

News@lemmy.world•Trump Says Epstein ‘Stole’ Underage Victim from Mar-a-Lago Spa
8·4 months agoI don’t know. I think children benefit from some labor. Not like down the coal mine labor, certainly not whatever the fuck trump and his pedophile buddies got going on.
But being part of a functioning, productive unit. Maybe learn a practical skill or two. Burn off some energy and build some muscle.

14·4 months agoHe sees the Russian oligarchs, basically medieval duchies where they’re a law unto themselves (unless they piss off papa Putin, then it’s out the window) and thinks that’s a pretty neat deal.

News@lemmy.world•Immigration raids leave crops unharvested, California farms at risk
5·4 months agoWe’re a long way from famine. We may have to eat food we’re unaccustomed to. We may be forced into vegetarianism. Lots of grains, whatever vegetables can be harvested mechanically. But the amount of food this continent can produce is truly phenomenal.
A garden is a good idea

News@lemmy.world•Immigration raids leave crops unharvested, California farms at risk
4·4 months agoThank you! This argument that we should love immigrants because they will “do the work no one else wants” has never sat right with me. It’s more like no sane and rational person would do this work, in these conditions, for this pay.
What does it say about us that we need an endless stream of impoverished brown people to make our society functional? We can’t build our own buildings, harvest our own crops?
We’ve got a real nasty history and habit of coerced labor in this country.

2·5 months agoIt didn’t sound high and mighty to me. She left a position of influence and (some small amount) of power just when shit is starting to get real. Fair weather patriot. Best of luck in Toronto. I’ll stay here with the hundreds of millions for whom leaving isn’t a viable option.
