Reply to comment by online_and_high in Austria’s far-right lawmakers walk out of Zelenskyy speech by MaleficentParfait863
Watch the video. Austria is in full support with Ukraine, the neutrality only applies to military alliances and actions.
What do you mean by neutral countries should listen more? They are listening but they cannot do much if Russia is not willing to negotiate or make peace.

Reply to The Catholic Church took a fresh step Thursday in acknowledging abuse endured by Indigenous peoples with the Vatican formally rejecting 15th-century papal edicts that empowered Europeans to colonize non-Christian lands by DoremusJessup
Seems way too little after waiting 600 years.

Reply to comment by BoulderAndBrunch in Russia detains WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich on espionage charges by jack_lafouine
No one knew who this Russian prisoner was before he was in the talks to be released. I’m sure there are more. If there aren’t more, there can be in the future. Also, it’s not ONLY prisoner exchanges that happen. Russians can ask for different trades. When we don’t have to be in Russia for reliable news it makes less sense to put ourselves in the position to HAVE to trade

Reply to comment by needabra129 in China calls US debt trap accusation 'irresponsible' by BubsyFanboy
Without unions, no one wants to be “the one” who takes the risk of losing their job. Even if you feel you’re being treated unfairly and paid like garbage, without said pay your life would be a lot worse.

We get it there could only be one narrative, and history is obviously on the side of US. This is worst than Soviet propaganda at its mightiest.

There is no theocratic basis, its all about controlling women and treating them like cattle.

The Catholic Church has become very progressive recently. It takes a lot of forward thinking to acknowledge that abusing people, based on the land they are from, might be wrong sometimes. With this kind of quick change, I think in the very near future, maybe as soon as 2300, they may acknowledge that it is kinda bad for them to abuse children and women in general./s (just in case)

Reply to comment by OraclesPath00 in China calls US debt trap accusation 'irresponsible' by BubsyFanboy
It’s so true. I think about this constantly and wonder - how are we not rioting in the streets over this? Pulling a Boston tea party and dumping oil…. somewhere that would render it useless without damaging the environment. Going on nationwide strikes to demand better pay, benefits, and worker rights. I’d like to think we are getting to that point, but god damn we are slow. The French would have rioted decades ago if this happened there lol

Reply to comment by xtossitallawayx in Russian secret service seizes Wall Street Journal journalist who wrote about Wagner Group by 9lobaldude
Professionals at the highest level of their craft often accept a higher level of risk than a normal person would consider prudent.
It doesn't matter if its Jim Cantore standing in a hurricane, dodging the tree limbs, or a journalist standing behind enemy lines cataloging the illegal actions as the freedom to do so erodes beneath him.

Reply to comment by notrevealingrealname in Four bankers who helped Putin’s friend set up Swiss bank account convicted by BezugssystemCH1903
Don't bother engaging, my read on them is they aren't interested in a good faith discussion, they're here to collect upvotes while arguing:
> I don't know why you think I'm trying to come up with a solution. I'm not trying to solve any problem or even insinuate that I'm solving a problem.
in response to me saying the below quote from their original comment won't work:
> If we can learn to work together on a bartering system again, the whole idea of money would go away and these people would have zero power. We give them the power. Why we do that? I do not know because we are dumb.
They're trying to pretend they're just offering observations after literally saying bartering is the solution to wealth inequality. I'm assuming they're some unhinged /r/iamverysmart teenager who has fully bought into the idea of anarcho-libertarianism as a realistic and legitimate political position held back by the brainwashed masses too stupid to realize they're being lead on by the evil capitalists.

Reply to comment by roararoarus in Dmitry Muratov: Nuclear warning from Russia's Nobel-winning journalist by TheRealBunkerJohn
How ready can you be, though? Like has everyone started building bunkers or something?
If a MAD situation happened I feel like all you can really do is duck and cover and then try to survive fallout and ruined infrastructure with your own supply of food and medical supplies. Hospitals and transit would be fucked so if you’re injured or sick you’ll probably die and grocery stores won’t be stocked/can’t grow food on irradiated/burnt rubble piles so you’ll get hungry and die

I wonder if this bit is inaccurate. End of 2024 is vague, so by 2025. I thought with covid, passport offices were becoming more agile.
