There have been couple of non-Western countries with politicians who are not part of local majority group. There is a white Australian who is like a governor or mayor in Papua New Guinea. Peru infamously had a dictator of Japanese-ancestry. So you get these kinds of things. If a white person wants to become an MP in India, go for it.
It is part of propaganda to demonise the officially atheist USSR from the God (never mind which god we’re referring to)- loving Americans. 1
The Brits are still salty over those teas thrown over at Boston Harbour.
Maybe because I grew up multicultural, so I rarely find any strange names, well, strange.
Doesn’t matter if you have zero charisma and really bad PR. Obama and FDR were popular because they have both.
The Supreme Court must be impartial regardless of legislative and executive political mudslinging of the time. That’s the whole point of different branches of government.
If SCOTUS made the decision after seeing Trump and Biden debate, or knowing Republicans will control both houses, then they aren’t doing their job as they should. There’s a reason why juries are encouraged not to watch TV or media that would cloud their decision, and the same should apply to judges.
People forget the bloody whole point of checks and balance!
I had a coworker who seems to look up to him. He got offended when I told him I don’t trust Musk; and took it to mean I don’t like Musk. I clarified that when I said I don’t trust him, I meant that I am skeptical and don’t care much about him. Mind you, this was before the Twitter takeover and Musk finally showing his true colours, and his only bizarre scandal about him at that point was calling professional divers who rescued trapped Thai kids and refused Elon’s offer of help, “pedos”.
I left my old company and I wonder what my former coworker thinks of Elon now. My coworker seems to be well-intentioned but I sense deep insecurity from him-- the kind of types who typically idolise Musk.
On the one hand, others pointed out that it could also be an acquired trait from watching streamers censoring themselves to prevent de-monitisation. Though I admit that I’m a millennial who grew up in a very profane Internet environment and people didn’t take things too seriously, unlike today. So there could be generational differences going on.
We getting old, fam!
Also I hate this trend of censoring fucking profanity.
No offense, but it’s cos of Americans.
Books discussing about the horrors of the Holocaust is “adult”, I guess.
Lmao
This is just too good (or too bad depending on who you ask) to be true. I know they are conservative grifters, but I would believe the claim about Boebert and I doubt the rest.
You may be right. We just saw how Russia performed in the war in Ukraine despite the prior years of flexing lol. It’s not impossible to believe that the North Korean military is the same.
Lemmy has the least shills and bots
Because it’s not popular yet. Wait until it becomes so and the inevitable enshittification happens.
A free trip for defection for North Koreans!
Me who still irons clothes
looks sideways
Whenever someone tries to proselytise you, just tell them why would a benevolent god test you by killing your family member who hasn’t done anything wrong? A friend of mine, whose father passed away from cancer when my friend was nine years old, said this to a Mormon missionary. And the missionary was stumped to this questioning.
Let me tell you, Western women put make up much lighter than East Asian women.
It’s just UAE, not Middle East.
You’re reading too much into it. Colour ink was still expensive back then up until the late '80s to '00s. Which is why coloured photos were uncommon before, especially in the 1960s.
And before anyone suggests it, professional historians strongly discourage colouring black and white photos. This could give false impression of what the actual colour of some objects, or the subject itself in the photo.
I just Googled by the way of your claim, it turns out that the narrative is indeed hamfisted: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/20/fact-check-most-civil-rights-era-images-werent-made-color/3210472001/
