the weak should fear the strong

Absolutely wild, ty for the explanation

My ningen, what? I need some context to this; all I kinda remember is that shinzo abe was a Japanese official of some sort? PM or something?

The real reason I’m apeirophobic ^^^

PACK IN PACK OUT BROTHER, AROOOOOO!

Fair point!

I mean if their intent was to ask a community that was explicitly international, it might be in good faith. That being said, I don’t see any implication of that in their actual post, soo…

For what it’s worth, I personally find discussion about foreign politics interesting if it’s something that I can learn from, but there’s for sure an inundation (and normalization) of US politics on a lot of different social media platforms, and that gets old.

Metal, thanks for the info!

So, are those galls due to infection, or are they something else? I know some species of insects will intentionally create galls on plants to store/feed larvae, too.

I’M GONNA SAY IT! NNNINGEN!!!

Sorry, that was supposed to be in response to a reply to one of my comments - my bad!

THE WEAK SHOULD FEAR THE STRONG

Ah got you, based

Understandable, but when you say America in this context do you mean Canada?

Ty for the links! I’ll give it a watch

Thank you for the reply! This has been super helpful in guiding some reading and providing some context. It’s very interesting that there was quite a bit of criticism from all sides about the laws outright banning discussion and support of communism. Following that, there didn’t seem to be much in the way of responsiveness to that criticism. Even the Venice Commission was pretty highly critical of it, and of conflating Communism with Nazism.

Right, I know NATO was literally created as a show of united force against the Soviet Union post WW2- when you say encirclement, what does that mean? Is it specifically the growth of NATO to include more States in what’s traditionally Russia’s sphere of influence?

Ok, so I want to know, if anyone would be kind enough to humor me, what’s the general understanding of the context behind the war in Ukraine here, on Hexbear?

My personal understanding has been shaped by just passively existing on the Internet through this event, and I’m curious if there’s another perspective that I’ve not been exposed to.

“Some ideologies are inherently more violent than others,” she said, sitting in a chair on land stolen from indigenous people and stained with their blood, “Manifest Destiny never hurt anyone and capitalism is fully ethical.”
