Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Man in Florida 'shoots two Israelis he thought were Palestinian'English1·5 months agoI assume if he had shot Palestinians like he thought he did, DeSantis would have given him some sort of award.

I also wasn’t talking about you.

Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•France urged to repay billions of dollars to Haiti for independence ‘ransom’English01·11 months agoThat’s not an answer to how you do all of that without a government. You can’t just say “France has to do it” and walk away like that solves it all.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•France urged to repay billions of dollars to Haiti for independence ‘ransom’English0·11 months agoWho is going to build all of those things? Who is going to organize them? Who is going to get the supplies? Who is going to ensure nothing gets stolen and no one gets hurt? Who is going to take care of any medical issues that turn up due to things like accidents?
How do you do all of that without a government?
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•France urged to repay billions of dollars to Haiti for independence ‘ransom’English0·11 months agoGood luck doing rebuilding without a stable government.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•France urged to repay billions of dollars to Haiti for independence ‘ransom’English1·11 months agoI am certain that Europe and America will never give any legitimate slavery reparations in my lifetime.
That said, Haiti is way too unstable right now to give them reparations. They need a stable government first. Otherwise you’re basically just giving it to gangs.

Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Israelis rally to demand ceasefire and Netanyahu's resignationEnglish1·1 year agoI wish them luck. They have an uphill climb against someone cementing dictatorial powers but I hope they can achieve those goals.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Erdoğan: "hostility to Sharia is hostility to Islam"1·1 year agoI have no religion, and at times I wish all religions at the bottom of the sea. He is a weak ruler who needs religion to uphold his government; it is as if he would catch his people in a trap.

Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•United Farm Workers endorses Biden, says he's an 'authentic champion' for workers and their families0·2 years agoBiden could fight …… for anything.
He literally just joined the UAW on the picket line. There is no point in fighting for a $15 minimum wage if congress will never go for it. And they won’t with its current makeup. It’s a non-started. He’s not stupid and he’s not going to waste his time on fighting for things that won’t happen.
Anyway, people shouldn’t be fighting for any minimum wage. They should be fighting for a UBI.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Fact check: Biden falsely claims he was at Ground Zero 'the next day' after 9/111·2 years agoConsidering the absolute bullshit his most likely opponent says on an hourly basis, this seems minor.
Flying Squid@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Florida man arrested after trying to cross Atlantic in hamster wheel vesselEnglish1·2 years agoAlso, this is the third time he’s tried.
So basically, everyone involved in this incident is a terrible person. Lovely.
