13% of adults are illiterate (124 other countries in the world with higher literacy rates).

Almost half the population thinks humans aren't contributing to climate change.

40% of people believe the earth was created a few thousand years ago.

42% of people think Russia is communist.

And on average people in the US think 22% of the population is Muslim, where the real number is more like 1%.

We're doomed to see this comically bad take again and again unless and until by some miracle the US education system improves

One atom says to the other "I think I've lost an electron!"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive"

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Interesting that you think you have more of a handle on the definition of apartheid than Desmond Tutu https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/apr/29/comment

So when the National Party government in South Africa imposed restrictions on travel between made-up areas that basically nobody else in the world recognized as separate countries, that was also not apartheid?

2-5% of the population of Gaza has been killed in the last year, close to the entire population is homeless, Israeli military leaders are openly saying, in English, that their goal is for all the Palestinians to leave to other countries.

What definition of genocide are you using where the current situation does not count?

desperately hoping the "I'm Finnish" comment is a reference to something other than the USSR fighting Finnish Nazis..

carbrained bullshit from the guardian as usual. do they wanna cite statistics or even a source on "many motorists, however, resent the changes"? of course not, evidence-free bothsidesing of vehicular deaths it is

this is an amazing study in how to go carefully, point-by-point, through something, and refute none of it.

 

"in my country the covid pandemic has been over since at least two years"

 

Is there a Lemmy community out there for people running a Lemmy server, to talk about the tech and maybe moderation?

 

There are a bunch of well-researched lists of US government atrocities (including "List of Atrocities committed by US authorities" Lemmy's own @[email protected].

But I can't find an equivalent for the UK government, just "5 worst atrocities" listicles, and this too-specific and incomplete list fof "war crimes" on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_war_crimes

Well done UK government propaganda department, I guess 😕

Anyone know of a better list squirrelled away somewhere, or some resources which might help make one?
