We have truly become the society of the spectacle.

If we are doing that whole party, let’s throw the dems in too.

It isn’t hard for them to understand, but they are pushing the narrative that it is.

Where do you live? I want to take your home.

I will claim (incorrectly) that it is mine historically, but idiots on the internet will simp for me.

I am against ‘The West’ so everything I do is justifiable or the reporting on it is propaganda or you just don’t understand as a brainwashed westoid.

DM me the address and I will come take your home from you. Any resistance is just you drawing it out and making the situation worse.

Really weird to bring up on an article that has nothing to do with Biden.

This is not a new menace, nor is it just Western countries who are dealing with it.

Mercenaries have been around forever and everyone is using them. I would say that the entire continent of Africa has been menaced far more than ‘Western’ countries.

Just awful. I hope they can continue the push towards green energy sources and not have more of these incidents.

Yeah, this is even better.

But do I tag this user as “troll” or “misogynist”?

I’m happy to see Drag is still around. I feel like I haven’t seen Drag since switching to quokk.au.

Find writing prompts and make it a habit to do one per day or 4 per week. Something small to start. Even if you just respond with a paragraph or two to the prompt, it will exercise your creativity.

I also like the suggestion of reading a book. It forces you to focus on a single task for a period of time and can inspire you.

I’ll believe that when I see it…

But Iran just demonstrated how important it is to the world. The USA just demonstrated that it is a paper tiger unable to achieve its stated goal.

Countries are selfish and will act in their own interest. Right now, that means making a deal with Iran.

This is just a game to these assholes. A chance for them to play with their new toys. Fucking disgusting.

But have they? And how soon until they are operational?

They can want to procure a lot of planes, ships, etc. But it means nothing until they are in hand and troops are trained on the new systems. We shouldn’t down play the USA taking loses when there is the potential for a wider conflict.

What a stupid argument. Some people are obviously trolls or commenting in bad faith. Blocking people like that does not build an echo chamber. If this person had said “block every person who disagrees with you” then yeah, you’re going to end up with an echo chamber.

Personally, I think it’s important to avoid blocking people so that I can see them spreading false information and that they get challenged on their BS. But plenty of people are coming to social media/ forums/ whatever you consider Lemmy to engage with other people who share a similar hobby. Not everyone needs to deal with assholes fighting over (usually American) politics.

The article doesn’t indicate that they are anarchists.

In fact, it says that it is mostly due to Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin.
