Thr court has no obligation to delay unless they really believe the genocide is fine
He’s been using every trick in the book, and some not in the book, to delay his trial, but yeah it boils down to this. A lot of how he’s been able to get this far hinges on the courts and Knesset recognizing the so-called security needs of Israel.
I’m honestly torn between whether I want to see Netanyahu behind bars for the rest of his life or right where he is destroying Israel from the inside.
Obligatory this is not medical advice, but what happens if you “say,” for example, “eat shit, Sarah, I don’t care about you”?
A few Zionist stragglers exist, but they almost invariably get downvoted to oblivion.
They know, and consider that a threat.
Maybe the real progressives were the Democrats we made along the way.
Yes so New Yorkers need to get out there and raise hell if Trump even so much as tries to touch Mamdani. Fail to do that and democracy is well and truly dead.
It has nothing to do with bigotry and everything to do with unaccountable authority.
I mean, they’re two sides of the same coin. Authority capitalizes on bigotry (and division, more broadly) to avoid accountability.
But I’m charmed by how they describe Japan as a nation where omnipresent surveillance is still not considered normal. This wasn’t the case with the EU 5 or 10 years ago.
Fair enough.
I mean, one look at Japanese work culture should be all demonstration you need for that.
Wow, it’s actually amazing how far they can combine self-awareness and denial so effortlessly.
The only reason Japan isn’t in the same boat as America and Europe (yet, far-right parties are slowly rising in popularity) is that they never got on the immigration train, so their population is mostly homogenous and there are few things for bigots to complain about. Of course, this came with a price; the dismal state of Japan’s industry, academia and economy compared to other first-world countries is at least partially due to their rejection of immigrants. Of course, they can’t keep this up forever, which is why they’ve been recently allowing more immigrants in, fueling the rise of the far-right. Unless they can change rapidly, what Japan is “enjoying” now is the calm before the storm. “Still has something appearing to be a democracy” is how the EU was described five years ago.
And that’s pretty cool, seems like a culture best suited for modern challenges.
I mean, looking at the Lost Decades it seems to be quite the opposite. Sometimes it helps to take things slow, but other times you really have to think “come on get on with the times already”.
In that case anime is your best friend. Well, and any other Japanese video content. Even with subtitles it helps your ears get used to the language.
Wow, two hours in and nobody taking a dig at the Catholic Church yet.
Small tip: でも can only be used to start a sentence; for connecting two halves of a sentence you should use けど or が depending on formality level.
China is the answer. Nobody does anything about North Korea for the same reason China doesn’t invade Taiwan.
Learned Japanese on a whim so I could watch anime without subtitles. Now by complete coincidence I’m in Japan and not banging my head against the nearly insurmountable language barrier (Japanese people are really bad at English).
Okay everyone, get your pitchforks ready because if he does veer off to the center and doesn’t get significant backlash from the left y’all are doomed, no two ways about it.
This is an interesting-ish article, but it’s not saying what it thinks it’s saying. When believing in heaven and hell and that there’s only one true religion are considered marks of immorality, it’s not surprise that it’ll rate religious people lower than atheists. This is a measurement of how close different people and societies are to secular, Enlightenment-era European values, not how “moral” those people and societies are. None of this has anything to do with how likely these groups are to help a stranger.
