Your correction is wrong unless you’re trying to tell us something.

It’s definitely Kyiv, “Kiev” is the russian transliteration

You are a master at dodging the question, I’ll give you that!

What makes you think they don’t have the power

And why can’t it win a short-term war?

Libertarianfellowship.org? Didn’t know NAMBLA rebranded

Why do you think NATO would need a long term war to deal with Russia?

Thanks, that’s a different wording than I was using. I thought you were implying something different and I was mostly seeing substack blogs.

I have been pro-palestine since before all this, for what it’s worth.

Israel mowed down their own people with apache helicopters

I’m all for shitting on Israel but what event is this referring to? All I could find were debunked stories about the IDF somehow shooting Israelis on October 7th without any Israelis noticing

Credit where credit’s due, this was a really funny reply lol

Are you always this stupid or was this post a special occasion?

from its users

Would not be surprised if it was one user with several accounts

To avoid complaints, Italy should have just starved the them for decades and then bombed the tents they were forced to live in

Oh I actually just learned a cool trick for this.

If there’s ever a crowd of innocent people you want to mow down, you can just say they’re Hamas. You don’t even have to say it beforehand, you can declare it after the fact (if you get caught)

So far it’s worked 100% of the time I’ve seen it used so it’s seemingly pretty foolproof

Point to the tariff that makes sense?

That child has a beard

Oh I’m with you, I was just adding an anecdote to back up your point. Those mods should just migrate their communities to an instance without downvoted if they’re so sensitive about them

A long time ago I downvoted a bunch of posts from a person spamming and got banned from a half dozen unrelated communities for being a “mass downvoter”

Technically true, I’ve probably downvoted more posts than upvoted. But to ban someone for using fediverse features as designed? I dunno

From what I remember from college, Japan’s ultranationalism in the 30s and 40s never really went away. I went to verify that and found a wiki page

And then anecdotally: my friend taught in Japan for 5 years and I experienced a bit of it myself. I also have a (white) friend who has lived there for 15+ years and has had plenty of unfriendly interactions - especially when he’s with his Japanese wife or son.

I don’t think it’s unsafe to be a foreigner in Japan but I think it’s fair to say Japan is more on the xenophobic side

I completely agree, Japan is very xenophobic and blocking immigration is the wrong solution to fix their very real problems

Obviously I don’t agree with any far right party but I can at least why a “Japan First” party would be popular, they’ve been in a pretty crazy decline since the 90s. And especially with the rice shortages, I can see why the average citizen would feel abandoned by their government
