Day 1, babyyyyy
Is this excluding the bit where they made criticising their war in Ukraine punishable by up to 15 years in prison?
You mean something like the UN Human Rights Office report that concluded “China responsible for ‘serious human rights violations’ in Xinjiang province”?
I think BAC is supposed to be defined as a right-angle, so that AB²+AC²=CB²
=> AB+1²=0²
=> AB = √-1
=> AB = i
There was a somewhat understandable reason initially; when the embargo was first started, it was because Cuba allowed the UUSR to use it as a forward base for missiles so they could reach the mainland US, which, understandably, the US wasn’t very happy about
But ever since the fall of the USSR it’s been absurd
There’s only really one big building society in the UK, which is Nationwide, but they’re awesome
“Everything is politics” - Thomas Mann
Almost certainly a multiple of 2 minus one
Presumably they don’t especially care, as long as they’re able to take their land
But I expect a lot of the refugees will go to Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye, probably a handful to Egypt but from what I’ve heard the Egyptian border is pretty much closed
Clearly.
“they should have killed all the Israelis, and simultaneously are bastards for using exclusively tear gas against people actively throwing petrol bombs at them, and trying to burn down the building with them inside”
What a reasonable take
Absolutely wild accusations to throw out with no sources
You can’t possibly think that a monitoring mission for the UN is armed with chemical weapons lmfao
That’s not how UN peacekeepers work
So there’s a few things to note; firstly, that this article isn’t a eulogy, but about the smuggling and content of his diaries. Regardless of his political positions, those diaries are a fascinating artifact in their own right, especially his perspectives on Russian politics, and the experience of a political prisoner in the Russian prison system.
Also worth consideration is that his views/rhetoric shifted massively over the years, and he became far more liberal as he aged. People who manage to shift away from the far right are a valuable resource in understanding the thought process of other people who think like that.
Yes, to be clear, I’m not trying to argue that they aren’t committing genocide, just that the initial copy-paste comment leaves out the most important part of doing so, because that’s the bit that’s actually challenging to prove
That’s deeply upsetting, but still not the same as proving systematic intent to commit genocide
I do believe that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, but you missed an important part of the definition from your source:
with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical (sic), racial or religions (sic) group
Doing one of the above actions alone isn’t enough to be classified as genocide, it has to be done with systematic intent to destroy the group. That’s the bit that’s much harder to actually prove, because it requires having insider knowledge of Israel’s military complex.
And, likewise, the UN stating that serious human rights violations occurred is not the same as them all saying they aren’t committing genocide
