of course they'll just get him for regular murder charges, but how embarrassing they tried to get him on terrorism, lmao

yeah, it was never ever going to work, but that point is moot anyway because israel is going to occupy the west bank next so what two state solution? two israels? also, or else what? are UN peacekeepers going in to guarantee this? no? shocker!

i mean, yeah, unironically, maldela's legacy, his work with the ANC and what the ANC precisely did has been largely scrubbed from liberal retellings of history because if libs knew they would all be on the apartheid government's side

Economists have long complained about the low labour productivity in Greece – one of the lowest in the EU, while Greek workers already have the longest working hours in Europe compared to the EU.

Surely, making the hours longer will completely solve this and not make people spend even more time on cookie clicker.

This is the dystopian future that civil-liberty campaigners are most afraid of - a China-style mass-surveillance state.

This is so rich coming from the UK, the most CCTVed country in the world. Oh no, if we keep doing this insane-o shit we'll become almost as bad as the image we made up about bad country Jyna.

The fallout was that the Chinese government bought the bottom and all the wall street dipshits than invested in the stock lost their money. The Chinese government has always posited that speculating on the price of housing is a social ill and they've always pulled stunts like this to curb companies that try to start this hype cycle. This time western investors lost money so that's why we heard so much about it.

tl;dr it's in state custody now

You know what's baffling about this take is that at least mask off nazis have a very easy consistent non mental gymnastics take on it: "yes, they burned trans literature and it was good that they did so." Fascinating, now face the wall. I don't know what kind of pretzeling this moronic take requires. In fact, not only did Magnus Hirschfield's institute research queerness and transness, they undertook the first gender confirmation surgery. The woman in question, Dora Richter, is presumed killed during the attack on the institute or in custody after it. All of this information is incredibly easy to verify.

God knows France could have used the W right now. One fascist senator, from the Reconquête party (yes, the Reconquista) made a motion against it; he was the only one to vote for it, the entire senate voted against it.

Couldn't even be bothered to not have "both sides" below the fold, they're really expecting me to pay to read the rest of the article.

The "critical" part of critical support: the one-child policy was shitty and led to a bunch of bad knock-on effects, I'm happy they got rid of it after 2015; there is for sure a lot more work to be done on this front

The "support" part of critical support: Lmao, you can just get an abortion in china unlike the US, it was blanket legalized in 1988 (with aditional stipulations depending on the province). You can't equivocate a country where people are getting progressively more rights with another country where people are losing progressively more rights.

edit: as one of our wonderful posters points out, limited legal abortion was available since 1953

The original article is here I use a paywall removing browser addon that works particularly well on Firefox. Will paste full text shortly.
