It’s the National Assembly that elected him. It’s like a Parliament, but there are no Executive or Judicial branches that are independent from it.
The Assembly seats 500. A unanimous vote still shows that people are afraid to cross the leader. Like Republicans with Trump, only there are no Democrats. There are a handful of “Independents,” with the vast, vast majority being Vietnamese Communist Party members.
Everytime I put myself out on a limb with a comment, someone comes along to show I wasn’t blowing smoke.
Because it makes it harder to sell Japanese products in Spain.
Nature and nurture both have important roles in dog behavior. I’m a shitty dog owner, because I put little effort into training my dogs to behave well. I have still had dogs that were very well behaved and those that were poorly behaved. A lot of it comes from the dog itself, and then the owner can make that dog much worse or better with deliberate effort.
I think there’s more nuance. Tankies love Russia and North Korea. If you don’t like those two but you think Venezuela, Iran, and Iran’s proxies are just fine, you may not be a tankie, but you are leaning that way.
Is technocrit a tankie? If so, he or she hides enough of it to get lots of support from lemmy.world leftists. The same people who are happy to bitch about hexbear and lemmy.ml seem to find little wrong with technocrit and tropicaldingdong.
I’m not talking specifically about the US far left. I’m talking about Lemmy / Mbin / Fediverse leftists who celebrate Iran as an opponent to the US and then retcon that the government of Iran must not have legitimate internal opposition. Some of them are probably based in the US as well. I’m not clear on where technocrit is from.
The propaganda that the Iranian government was only being protested because western colonial powers were prompting it is left-wing propaganda. That it also happens to serve the interests of right-wing religious fascists in Iran doesn’t mean it doesn’t also serve the interests of the left.
You may be surprised to learn that the far left support any government, no matter how repressive, if it stands up to the US and “westerners” in general.
As if them being unarmed would change your worldview, OP.
Yes, but it’s left-wing propaganda, so you’re supposed to let it slide.
There’s always gotta be a bidet enthusiastic in these threads.
Accuracy isn’t valued as much as cheering for the right team. The UAE are bad guys, so any comment disparaging them is good, and any comment “defending” them, even to ask “Wasn’t that the Saudis?”, is bad.
The same mentality gets you downvoted if you don’t like Iran sponsoring terrorists (“The US are the real terrorists”) or if you thought killing Israeli civilians at a concert was uncool (“They’re occupying that land, so they deserve whatever they get”).
Commenter probably figures “they’re all the same.”
Wouldn’t that help to save the dying planet much faster than your idea of having humans go extinct in the next generation? Shouldn’t the highest good be more suffering for humans (evil) and less for animals, only a few of which only adopt, typically in rare circumstances?
It’s No Stupid Questions, not No Incredibly Rude Questions.
I’m surprised she didn’t also mention that Israel has space lasers.
They usually just look at what kind of locks and security you have around your house, in case they want to murder your whole family later in an attempt to transform into a William Blake painting.
When they see your video is from many years ago, they’ll figure the intel is outdated and not watch any more.
when he [Sean Combs] got arrested she took off to Europe out of fear of being involved trying to claim it was because of Trump.
I could have been more clear. I am already familiar with the “treated staff poorly” allegations. It’s this wild one about she moved to Europe to escape her connections to Diddy that doesn’t ring true.
Maybe give some money to the poor before buying a second TV. Otherwise, a Sherpa might poison you for your hubris.
I assume you use the Red Room for other things.
Came here to write “kidney stones,” and yours was the only other mention. Gallstones hurt to a similar degree, but as they move in and out, you get some relief from the pain.
