It’s delightfully weird, but be warned that it can get kinda bloody at times. Not like splatter but more, uh… disturbing in some ways I guess – hard to get more specific without spoiling things.

Utopia, the original UK Channel 4 series not the godawful piece of shit US remake

The US was Europe’s biggest ally.

If you don’t understand what has changed, you’re mentally deficient (or a conservative, which is the same thing)

Weeeellll I mean, they do make up shit all the time, but that’s just great power politics for you. What’s left for us little people is to decide which overlord is the least bad

EXPLOSIVE ALLEGATION

I mean, he did specifically come up with his idiotic “Hyperloop” concept to kill California’s high speed rail project

I think that’s called “murder”

How is this a revelation to fucking anyone? Will we be seeing eXpLoSiVe allegations of OpenAI and Anthropic working with the US military, or is that fine?

I’m European so I certainly don’t trust the US any more than China. Probably even less.

Well, NATO was pretty much built to counter a Soviet invasion of Europe – so even though Art. 5 does cover the US (and they’re the only ones to have invoked it so far to justify their bullshit war in Afghanistan) since they’re a member state, the organisation has always been more geared towards keeping Russia from invading Europe.

“If NATO was created to guarantee peace and mutual defense, it must either become an organization that takes on this task by engaging with the Global South — and thus become something profoundly different — or we will not achieve the goal of having security within rules that apply to everyone,” he said.

It was created to guarantee peace and mutual defense in Europe. Why would NATO have to “engage with the Global South” (whatever the fuck that means in this context) to do that?

Ha yeah. Like a Fedidrama comm but funnier.

Could sue people with silly opinions, drag their butts to Lemmy Court (and probably get dragged yourself too)

I mean, yeah it’s easy to scrape public networks, but my question is: so the fuck what?

If you don’t want anything or anyone to scrape your content, don’t publish anything on the internet. Ever.

Yeah I voted for the Ca-Caw Party

Everything’s got to be about politics here.

what

NOOOOO I’M GOING TO SUE YOU IN LEMMY COURT

Do you think that people generally need to ask permission before reposting something (non-OC, anyhow) that was shared on a public forum?

“Reposting content without prior permission”?

The hell did you want me to call it then? “Military service” is a completely common expression to use, and it applies whether we like what they’re doing or not.

And before you get any bright ideas: no, I’m not American and no, I don’t support what their military does. This kind of completely pointless semantic wankery just really activates my almonds

Both world wars look like “clear lines” to you after the fact. Of course you can just point at, say, Ferdinand getting assassinated and go “yeah that’s what started WW I” but do you think anyone at that time thought “yup that’s going to start the mother of all wars”?

As others have pointed out they absolutely didn’t look like clear lines when they were kicking off.
