politics @lemmy.world•Trump supporters back bid to annex Greenland: ‘Our president is a negotiator’English
24·1 day agoNo no, not “a negotiator”, we said “ego-driven dictator”.

World News@lemmy.world•Carney's Davos speech strikes a chord in MexicoEnglish
15·3 days agoAs an Australian, another middle power, Mark Carney’s speech was a good one. The sooner us similar powers can get together and choose another way, free from the power mad “great powers” the better.

5·3 days agoThe ability to buy a house isn’t the only indicator of an economy. Neither is GDP, or CPI, or any of the other numerous stats if used in isolation. Millennials (and their cusps - xennials and zennials) already accepted that we’re poorer than our parents, financially at least, and we didn’t riot. We voted differently and continuously push for other things.

politics @lemmy.world•US citizen says ICE took him at gunpoint in only underwear despite frigid cold and no warrantEnglish
122·4 days agoSure sounds like a terrorist organisation.
Which is about right. Pre-9/11, the US’s model of a “terrorist” was a white, 30 something, loser, guy - a Timothy McVeigh-type. Identical to 95% of ICE agents.
Maybe they should return to that model.

No deaths would’ve been required.

politics @lemmy.world•More Americans support abolishing ICE than ever before, polling data showsEnglish
1·11 days agoWhilst I agree in some senses, I also question their use. It doesn’t really matter until there’s an election and even then, they seem to be often wrong as people don’t vote logically and often against their interests.
These kinds of polls are more for people to say “phew, I’m glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t like ICE”. It’s a peace-of-mind poll which achieves nothing of actual substance.

World News@lemmy.world•An Australian writers’ festival cut a Palestinian author in the wake of a terror attack. Then it fell apartEnglish

World News@lemmy.world•An Australian writers’ festival cut a Palestinian author in the wake of a terror attack. Then it fell apartEnglish
31·12 days agoThe author was singled out purely for being Palestinian and due to the Bondi terror attack. Which she had nothing to do with of course but it was a dog-whistle to all the bigots out there. I’m glad the other writers boycotted the event. The board should be ashamed of themselves. The event director resigned due to the interference of the board (she the one interviewed in the clip linked above) and is rightfully disgusted by what they did, and their shitty reasoning and response.

82·12 days agoGlad I wasn’t the only one who thought “does everything have to be a poll?”
It’s like those Japanese gameshows with a “reaction” window of the “famous talent” so everyone is told how the action on screen is supposed to make them feel.

World News@lemmy.world•Ban social media for under-16s, top teaching union urges UK governmentEnglish
2·13 days agoWhy wouldn’t it be okay to piss off Big Tech? That’s part of the point. They can either change their ways or fuck off. Governments and people are not the playthings of Big Tech. Intelligent legislature and legislation that is applicable to future technology would be a sensible approach rather than just the tech of current times.

593·14 days agoOr, and I know this is going to sound crazy, regulate the social media companies to make them responsible for the content on their websites.
Banning kids doesn’t work. They simply use a workaround. Do law makers not remember what it was like to be a kid, or adults telling them not to do something.
