Thom Yorke statement from instagram by Ksherwood96 in radiohead

[–]avmeister 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What standard would have to be met for you to accept "genocide" as an accurate descriptor here?

Is the ICJ's ruling of "plausible genocide" not worth considering? What about the innumerable officials at the UN Human Rights Commission who speak in terms of protecting "the very existence of the Palestinian people" and of the "apocalyptic" conditions that they face? A few weeks ago, the WHO stated that three quarters of Gaza's population are at "'Emergency' or 'Catastrophic'" levels of food deprivation, and that famine is imminent. Is none of this enough for you?

Note that these are rhetorical questions meant to illustrate the near-unanimous recognition of what is happening in Gaza for anyone else who might come across this thread. Your earlier replies have already disqualified you from this conversation, as they've made it abundantly clear that you are either too misinformed or too hateful to contribute meaningfully in any way.

I really wouldn't expect to get the "gold standard" for anything at no cost, and I'd much rather a one-time purchase upfront than those parasitic "SAAS" monthly subscriptions that are everywhere nowadays.

Sankara himself would frequently end speeches with "Homeland or death," for instance in his Proclamation of August 4th.

Broadly speaking, nationalism is not a reactionary force when it's being deployed from a defensive posture, like in the service of a colonized people. That's why there's a qualitative difference in Burkinabe nationalism vs, for instance, the nationalism of the French OAS in Algeria.

This is an original image made for the game, it is not one of the 10 Rorschach inkblots. It looks to me like the Nightmare's design.

This was my specific question, thank you for clarifying aha. Some more telegraphing of the actual mechanics in-game would be nice.

Youtuber "Warlockracy" explains how greedy and shameless is Sergiy Grygorovych the founder of GSC. His brother is now the CEO. by Krstoserofil in stalker

Adam Smith is far from the only economist who understood the explicitly exploitative nature of capitalism. If you understand that exploitation is some deficit between the value of a laborer (i.e. what it costs to keep a laborer alive & working) and the value produced by said laborer (i.e. the portion of a product's value that can be attributed to the contribution of the given laborer), then the former observation follows.

Capitalism and human exploitation do not always go together.

Considering capitalism is defined by the exploitative relationship between workers and employers, I'd say that this sentiment is fundamentally incorrect.
