Dominance over the definition of the word dominance even
Dominance over the definition of the word dominance even
I can’t even put into words how disgusting I find this.
“I can see the Labour Party coming to power in the next election - maybe, maybe not - who knows? But it doesn’t really make a difference who’s in power - the State remains the same, the structure is still there, they just tinker with it a little here and there.” - Oi Polloi
As a modern Brit, this list is just fucking weird. It’s only a very specific type of middle class English that would relate to this.
What’s your alternative to democracy after this “peaceful revolution”? Who’s in charge? You?
Is this revolution anarchist, communist, fascist, or something else?
And what kind of democracy are you talking about? There are many varieties, with some being far better than others.

It seems to be some reference to this, although I can’t find anything about sacks and snakes. As stated by u/stovetop only the rich were in parliament, so if this did happen it was just one group of rich greedy people turning on another group of rich greedy people. Nothing to get excited about.
I thought it was the 51st?
Christians regularly ignore the 10 commandments, the most basic of rules in their religion. Of course they’ll ignore the stuff that means they can’t eat tasty pork
“28g of poop for each 5.4 kg of their body weight” for the metrically inclined
What does “exposed your alt on .ca” mean?
Can you intertwine Lemmy accounts from different servers somehow?
Which part of the US 🇺🇸 is Austria 🇦🇹 in?
You mean those eco-TERRORISTS?!
They’re a threat to our nation wealth, with their desire to make life better, bastards, they should be the last to come out!
/s if it wasn’t obvious enough
Boris Johnson? The ex ex ex Prime Minister? This is one very stale meme

Russia has been invaded plenty of times
With F-16s, HIMARS, and drones?
Modern warfare isn’t the same as Germany in WW2.
Ah, that makes sense I guess. Ta!
I don’t understand why the word grow is even in there.
Reinforced knee, hem woven. What is the word grow adding to the description?
Do the trousers grow? Do they expand so children can grow into them?
I don’t get it
It’s not about offending. It’s about stereotyping and prejudging people.
It’s very easy to go from Russia/ Israel does bad things so the Russians/ Israelis aren’t welcome, to xenophobic hatred of all Russians/ Israelis.
It’s a fine line to balance because obviously, being Russian/ Israeli associates you with the actions of your country, and a certain percentage of the population in those countries will agree with their government’s policies. But not all of them do, and to make general sweeping statements like none are welcome leads you close to the xenophobia that those opposed to Russia/ Israel tend to condemn.
In WW2 America rounded up and imprisoned loads of Japanese-Americans, regardless of whether they supported Japan or had any evidence of them aiding Japan. This has generally been viewed as a bad thing done to innocent people. Rhetoric like this could lead to a similar situation.
People are people. Some good, some bad. Some perform shitty actions on purpose, some perform shitty actions through ignorance, and some oppose shitty actions. But where someone is born doesn’t determine if they’re shitty or not, so sweeping statements like “Israelis are not welcome” gets far too close to xenophobia for some people’s liking.
Obviously, what Russia and Israel are doing is awful and must be condemned, but a bit of casual xenophobia isn’t going to do anything to stop them. Official blocks of official teams would do far more to hinder them and their image of acceptance in the international community than blocking their citizens from spectating.
I see no bias in this websites intentions at all…
Sounds better than when we let those with the means, and then some, get state handouts…
