You don’t. Try not to piss off any national governments, especially unhinged ones (Russia, China, US, Israel, etc.)
Nuance. Trump did have that power. He did not, by any means, have power over the entirety of US policy. The fact that the Republicans had significant congressional control also gave him, but actually them, more overall power, but still not absolute by any sense of the imagination. Absolutely every country has different factions and inner workings, but in countries where there is a supreme authority, those are by and large null and void. The US does not have any one supreme authority (except money maybe lol)
I’m basically saying that we can only blame the people that had the power and that took the action in question, or, alternatively, the people with power over them.
That fails to take into account any effort by the idf to minimize child casualties, which is absolutely happening. It assumes an equal amount of adult and children civilian deaths when there is no marker whatsoever that shows that to be the case, other than the overall ratio of children to adults in Gaza. You have made a huge leap in your logic.
*uneducated idiots isolate…
Ftfy
Except that Iran isn’t a democracy in practice or really by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe in the 80s, but when a country has a leader with complete and total authority, it really doesn’t matter.
We blame Putin for the actions of Russia bc he has supreme authority over Russia. We cannot blame a single president for the same, as 1, they don’t have supreme authority in most matters, and 2, unlike Russia the US is actually a representative democracy, whether or not you like the options available.
In essence, I disagree with the premise that this is the norm. It’s not only visible from the inside. If people don’t care enough to find out, that’s a different problem, but in general, diplomatic officials tend to know abt this kind of stuff because it’s their job to.
America doesn’t have a Supreme leader dumbass
Trump ripped up the agreement***
When the two major parties have massively different diplomatic policies we have problems like this a lot.
It can also be good sometimes tho like when Jimmy Carter became president and started cracking down on the junta in Argentina and flying out victims and stuff.
This is assuming that the 2:1 ratio has come from anywhere other than original commenter’s asshole

If you legitimately believe this then you are a clown. Terminator came out in what year again? Lmaoooo

“As AI researchers in the 1960s and 1970s began to use computers to recognize images, translate between languages, and understand instructions in normal language and not just code, the idea that computers would eventually develop the ability to speak and think—and thus to do evil—bubbled into mainstream culture.”

Ehhh idk about that one. In a case like this? Sure. Random crimes are almost never solved tho. If you go two states over in a car, shoot someone in the face, and then go home, then you’re almost never gonna get caught. Especially if it occurred somewhere with a high crime rate or to a member of a marginalized community.
Don’t get any ideas tho!
Are you suggesting that architectural styles are not based on interactions with different peoples and that the type of architecture, for example, from 200-500CE is not going to vary greatly in different regions such as East Asia and Europe? And that those peoples with individual cultures and ideas about architecture won’t ever interact with their neighbors, creating cross-cultural styles? That these cultures will never interact and reach a quorum on specific styles of buildings, especially when brought together through larger institutions such as religion?
She literally clarified that she was going to provide weapons for defense from Iran and its puppets, that she will fight for a 2 state solution, and called for a cease fire. Like a sentence later.
Jfc. Race to the bottom, though I don’t blame you when this guy is purposely taking things out of context.
From a content creator’s standpoint, sure. The issue is that when the end user doesn’t have a shiny new thing they’re interested in in front of them every 30 or so seconds they just log off and stop using the service. Why use mastodon if bluesky/threads/whatever shows them, generally, more of what they want to see and less of what they don’t?
Most people are using social media as a way to veg out and unwind these days. They don’t really care if somebody is able to game the system, just that they see more that lets them veg out (or alternatively makes them angry, driving increased engagement).
I agree that this is generally bad, but trying to sidestep it completely like Mastodon is is just going to result in a network that never hits the critical mass necessary to start exponential growth.
Yeah the best example is probably the Japanese internment camps during WW2. You don’t have ‘rights’, you have privileges. Rights can’t be taken away.
