Holy shit, reading the article.. it really was bloodlust. It'd be cartoonish if it weren't so fucked up. First she shot the dog, then shot the goat- failed to kill them in one hit- and went and shot them again.

At that point, Noem said, she realised a construction crew had watched her kill both animals. “The startled workers swiftly got back to work, only for a school bus to arrive and drop off Noem’s children.”

"Sweet and delicate inside" is a hell of a way to describe "full of rancid shit and bloody entrails" tbh, they're so full of themselves lol...

What part is the "sweetness" again? It's certainly not given to the indigenous Arabs- so who is it for? Non-Arabs, like the Asian laborers they prevent from fraternizing with locals or having sex whatsoever in the country (racist racial purity bullshit from the sounds of it)? To their fellow Jews, like the Ethiopian Jews they have forcefully sterilized, the Yemeni and other MENA Jews they discriminate against, or all those Jewish people who reject their settler-colonialism- or even those fellow Zionists who simply have concerns or get in the way (that Hannibal protocol lol)?

What sweetness exactly are we talking about lol.. they may as well have called the Nazis sweet, their attitude in some ways even is more repulsive than that.

Didn't Francis compare us (trans people) to nuclear weapons? Hopefully he's moving towards the light all the same (towards acceptance or the afterlife, either works)

asmon kept up doing the same argument that the culture is just spiritually inferior because of checks notes gay rights???

So between this and a neverending list of horrific and historically near unprecedented shit, western E*rope and the settler-colonies for the overwhelming majority of history (and arguably still) should have been nuked into oblivion... admittedly if that is the takeaway (not on Palestinians), for very different reasons I'd almost have to agree

Three Atlantic Ocean hurricanes are ‘racing towards Europe’

Some deity's punishment? Maybe...

Hopefully any Europosters stay safe, though

I'm pretty sure it happened many times? Not all cultures are rampaging hordes like the west Europeans, though even then given enough time and contact conflict becomes more likely to arise.

For essentially peaceful first contacts, the Chinese treasure fleets of the Ming Dynasty come to mind. They sent out their voyages six times, traveling around the southeast Asia and the Indian ocean (to India, Arabia, east Africa, and Iran). They had varying degrees of prior contact with many of those they visited, but further out as they went further west and south they only knew the routes. Other than some minor anti-piracy activity, overthrowing a Sri Lankan king who was engaging in piracy against Chinese trade partners in favor of an ally, and helping an ally in Indonesia (in Sumatra) reclaim their throne from an usurper, it was primarily peaceful and mutually beneficial on all sides. Gifts and tribute were exchanged, and ambassadors and samplings of goods from previously known but not directly contacted regions returned with the fleets.

There is also history of peaceful trade (probably with no real reason for conflict) between Indonesians (Makassans) and pre-colonial, aboriginal Australian societies.

They're working on that, no worries (but actually)

no communists (at most they mention BRICS)

Honestly hope we see these sorts of talking points across the global south in my lifetime. Everything the west has is projection, but the world would be infinitely better off if the global majority truly joined arms to defend actual freedom and the democracy and sovereignty of nations, from its greatest enemies (the imperialists)

The Nazis had their blood flag, the YanKKKees can have their "mud flag." Same-same lol
