The big ones that European countries participated in were 20 years of invasion in Afghanistan and the bombing of Libya. Some countries, like the UK, participated in the Iraq war(s). You could argue that Yugoslavia bombing was justified, but I’m sure anticommunism played a bigger role than enforcing human rights. We see now how much EU governments care about human rights in Palestine.

Tibet has been part of China for centuries. First through the Qing, then through the ROC (Taiwan today) and now through the PRC. Just because separatists claim independence does not mean that the PRC invaded it. Do you support European separatist factions, like in Northern Italy, Basque, Scotland, or Donbass? Hong Kong is a Chinese territory that was fucked up by British colonialism (seeing a pattern here) and was handed over peacefully by the British.

Europe doesn’t engage in old colonialism anymore because the world has soured to that approach after centuries of wealth transfer towards Europe. Instead it installs friendly governments through military campaigns and then engages in neocolonialism, which has a similar effect, with a lower cost. What’s your definition of standing army? The UK for example, has 70k full time military personnel, which I would count as a standing army. Similar numbers for Germany.

This is something no European country does or could do.

Right, Europe just invades other countries out of pure joy and then installs puppet governments that are loyal to the West. This is just the last 30ish years:

What foreign territories did China invade? Did that parliamentary system you like so much stop the nazis from taking power? Is it stopping armaments to Israel today?

Again, you are focusing on the wrong threat, because the propaganda told you to. Weed out your own garden first.

Western world starts countless wars, a genocide and an alarmingly fascist state followed by its increasingly fascist vassals across the pond.

Western liberals: I can’t wait for China to reveal its true color!

If you can’t see that Western imperialism is the biggest threat to the world, you’re lost.

They have the most generous refund policy of any store and don’t force any DRM on published games. The horror!!

Looking through my favorites list games on Steam, most games have at least one alternative place where they can be bought between GOG, Epic, Itch or the publisher/devs own store. How is that a monopoly? This is without even mentioning other consoles (which you could argue are monopolies on their own).

Doubt it. She has many photos like this: https://www.tanja-askani.de/?page_id=888

Anyway, it’s shitty that we can’t even enjoy anything anymore not being certain if it’s real or not

This guy is from a centre right party. Not exactly my first ranked choice (or any for that matter).

Cannot tolerate empathy in the upcoming purges. Hopefully their training will be useful in other ways.

Weird times when Ireland’s PM is the voice of reason at the UN

ICE isn’t so tough when they’re not slamming defenseless women into the ground, are they?

I wonder if he feels the same about all the nazis on Shitter openly calling for violence. This includes Musk of course.

Or about a Republican state rep calling for execution of a congresswoman?

I don’t normally watch Kimmel but I did watch that last episode to contribute to the Streisand effect

Oh hey, deja vu: https://lemmy.world/post/31181294/17600842

Disney wants Kimmel to tone down his rhetoric, as well as provide an apology to Charlie Kirk’s family and donate to his right-wing organization, Turning Point USA

Ahahaha, fuck Disney!

They have to remove the Intelligence part of AI so it can appeal to the right

Don’t worry people. AI can only get better:

Microsoft’s plan to end Windows 10 support next month — which may make an estimated 400 million PCs obsolete

I don’t get this. Can’t those PCs update to the new version? Yes, I am very aware that win11 is a shit show and win10 was better.

But Ubuntu also has a similar support policy for updates:

Ubuntu LTS versions get five years of updates, while non-LTS only gets nine months.

Would all the Linux versions out there be subjected the same 15 years of updates??

Just as the founding fathers intended

You’re probably being sarcastic here, but just to clarify, horseshoe theory is nonsense invented by centrists. Take Kirk for example. The left hated him for being a terrible human being. Groypers hated him for not being a terrible enough human being. Superficially the same, but trying to accomplish vastly different outcomes.
