All the English words used there seems to be technical terms rather than random English. But a lot of English has made it into Swedish vocab, so I assume the same is true of Danish.

It gets weirder when the people using it in slang also barely can speak English. Have mentored a couple of youths and it is very jarring to see them completely fall apart when talking to someone in English.

Think that a child that has been stuck in a car with their dead relatives crying for help for hours, and then got blown up along with the paramedics who had permission to help is pretty obviously just evil. There have been Zionist talking heads saying that Hamas uses ambulances, but in that case why not just arrest them when they’re asking for permission or blow up the ambulance before it arrives?

It is just cruelty for the sake of cruelty. That is the reason that this specific incident is used. Nothing for the genocide cheerleaders to hide behind.

Zionist speaking heads praising Israel for bombing Rafah massacring civilians, many of them children, as a mere diversion to get two hostages back. This is being framed as a righteous act.

Love the video of the German diplomat trying to scold the Namibian president about accepting too many Chinese immigrants.

Having the gall to be an official representative of a country that was both the former colonial overlord and comitted genocide and deciding to scold them about the lack of German communities compared to Chinese.

Curious how there was a sharp increase in young people identifying with Labour when the Blairites weren't in leadership.

I'm sure that will continue under Starmer clueless

There is an election coming up and the republicans have been proactive in pushing this as an issue. What the actual policy is doesn’t matter, which is why trying to appease chuds from the centre is a suckers game.

Biden doesn’t make speeches about the evil illegals down at the border every two days, so he isn’t doing enough. Quiet cruelty misses the point.

Settler colonialism is a real thing that happened in history with devastating consequences for indigenous peoples around the globe.

Still very much happening but it's only really being called out in Western societies. Meanwhile indigenous Tibetans are having their culture erased by Han Chinese, etc...

I hate the US as much as the next person but the meme itself is basically whataboutism.

How the fuck is this whataboutism?

The whataboutism is 75% of the thread going out to defend the US prison system by saying that a wartime prison before the age of antibiotics was slightly worse than current US prisons. So little discussion of the topic at hand.

Edit: oh fuck, found the millions of prisoners in Xinjang part of the thread.

South Korea was a literal military dictatorship until the late 80s under the watchful eye of uncle sam.

They were the less successful US pet project after Japan. There is a reason that a whole lot of their media is about how capitalism sucks and that they are the heaviest drinkers in the world.
