Lula Brazil is very different from bolsonaro Brazil

This is literally about a judge fining the diplomat half a million, though?? Like isn’t this literally the exact opposite of that

Has Kim been transphobic? Or is this just you generally hating techbros (not that I’d really consider him a techbro tbh)

They are somewhat right about the fact that the vaccines haven’t been sufficiently accessible in Africa to actually tackle the crisis, though

Though it is worth noting that the original commenter very nearly hit on an important point: the vaccines are not accessible enough to communities in Africa, especially in the poorest - often the most impacted - regions.

Mpox is something we could have stopped long ago with a better system of distributing/purchasing vaccines, like with tuberculosis.

It is true that when these diseases reach Europe, North America and East Asia, these medicines suddenly start being distributed far more effectively, since that’s where most of the companies that manufacture them are based, and since the countries there are wealthy enough to effectively do so, but only now that it’s an Us Problem™️

Yeah, and it also somewhat happens as a consequence of building military infrastructure there too. Military bases need people to staff them, and those people need food, water, entertainment etc etc

I kinda disagree - that’s not to say that they don’t usually do so for illegitimate reasons (or that these bans are legitimate), but there’s plenty of valid reasons why a government would want/need to ban a platform

X, for example, has been giving the UK a whole lot of good reasons why they may wish to consider it (restoring the accounts of people like Tommy Robinson, allowing misinformation, the owner of the platform himself actively spreading that misinformation)

Yes, it’s a joke

Well, yeah, if you have to do the things yourself and take direct responsibility for them, then your proxies aren’t very useful

The guardian’s summary was pretty thorough in my opinion

This is a knife and fork burger if I’ve ever seen one

That doesn’t exactly count when it’s occupied territory lmao

Oh silly me, your argument is even worse than I thought!

So the “bombing the Donbas” you’re talking about is the previous time Russia declared an unprovoked war against them!

“Russia had to invade, because last time they invaded, the Ukrainians fought back. Those bastards!”

Edit: as an aside, you somehow still managed to be entirely wrong, despite not even saying anything in your reply directly - the internet isn’t free, it’s extraordinarily expensive to run, and costs the consumer to use their ISP, too!

I mean, that’s straight up not true lol

Your claim is that Ukraine - while not at war - was bombing itself? And that would be a legitimate casus belli for Russia to invade them, and then seize that territory for themselves?

That’s a batshit insane take

Russia invades its neighbour, unprovoked, explicitly to seize their agreed sovereign territory

“Why would America do this?”

I’ve had a pretty good experience with them, personally, but mine are a relatively expensive pair
