Mexico’s judiciary is infamous for favoring oligarchs and other unsavory interests. MORENA’s judicial reforms aim to fix this by introducing democratic elections for judges — a move that has the US and global business elites in a panic.Progressive International

Israeli army bolsters presence in Golan Heights as Syria destabilized
In response to developments in Syria, the Israeli army announced that it increased its presence in the Golan Heights, deploying forces to key locations in the demilitarized zone.
The move, as per the Israeli army, is aimed at securing Israeli settlements in the area and protecting the safety of Israeli settlers, given concerns over potential militant incursions.
Meanwhile, Syrian sources suggested that "Israel" is constructing a buffer zone along its border with Syria.
Israeli media outlets also reported that the Israeli government has issued directives to its ministers, instructing them not to speak publicly about Syria without prior approval. The Maariv newspaper added that "Israel" is engaged in discussions with certain factions within Syria, though details remain limited.

Ever considered it might lead people to the wrong person? You know, how people do that shit all the fucking time?
And fuck it, just let him fade into obscurity. Cold cases are solve years later because it stayed in the minds of others.

Not sure who these 'people' are, or how the given image could possibly do that, but considering that obstruction of this investigation is cool and productive I fail to see the problem.

NO.
They are a hero. They deserve celebration, commemoration and to hold a clear place in the minds of citizens, like the myth of Robin Hood once did. Remember him.
Journalister är makthavare. Att förneka det är löjligt, missvisade och felaktigt. Annie Croona har trots det skrivit en ledartext i ETC som hävdar att journalister inte har makt och inte är makthavare. Huvudargumentet verkar vara att de har som uppdrag att granska makten. Vilket är ett helt ohållbart argument.

As a heads up, your readme has "machine" misspelled as "maschine" in two spots:
- On your current maschine
- On another maschine
Looks like thats the german spelling?
Fattiga använder amfetamin och tramadol medan rika människor använder kokain. Det är ett av resultaten som kan utläsas ur Stockholms mätning av droger i avloppsvattnet 2024. Användningen av kokain ökar dessutom markant över helgerna.

Not sure if that's what you mean by heavy but I recently watched 1984 and while the movie is good I found it kind of hard to watch. Possibly because a lot of the story and background information was only indirectly said or hinted at and you had to actually pay attention and think about what you saw.
I guess I'm just used to modern cinema where everything is very in your face
Polsk vapenhandlare försåg svenska gäng med vapen. I en framgångsrik polisinsats samordnad av Europol och ledd av brottsbekämpande myndigheter från Polen greps en polsk vapenhandlare i slutet av november. Han har levererat vapen till brottslingar i hela Europa.

in reply to FreakinSteve • • •Part of the problem is that other sites are just soooo shit when it comes to online shopping. I hate Amazon and Bezos, but they are dominating 1. Because they are a monopoly, but 2. Because they simply are better at everything.
From customer service, to app, to search, to tracking and returns, no-one else comes close.
It sucks, but it's the truth.

Once musk is out of the picture, they're just going to inherit the wealth and continue to use it to gain more wealth as quickly as they think possible.
Keep in mind, as it stands right now, his kids expect our kids to serve them.

They’re not even happy. They’re hated by many, idolized by others, and the rest want to leech off them. They don’t even have good relationships among their peers, it’s like a never ending dick measuring contest

We can't focus on any sort of task-at-hand for any greater good. We simply are just that self centered and greedy, despite those of us that fight against that nature, it's still our nature.
Climate change? You can't make people wear masks in grocery stores or vaccinate, good luck with the climate.

in reply to friend_of_satan • • •Two options, if you're shilling for billionaires:
They're intrinsically 10,000x better than you and me and deserve to be 10,000x richer.
It's just theirs. It says so somewhere, no backsies.
Pure trickle-down had it's day too, but it's it's a joke again in modern times, for the most part. You may object that these are all weak arguments, but basically, you and what army?
Edit: "We need a remote chance of becoming a billionaire for anyone to go to work" is kind of a blend of trickle-down and argument number one, but I suppose I should mention it, just for the sake of completeness
friend_of_satan
in reply to CanadaPlus • • •I guess even as a billionaire, the difference between your first 50 billion and your second 50 billion is that with your second you can make frivolous purchases of social media companies without going back to being poor.
It's still bullshit in the big picture of history.
CanadaPlus
in reply to friend_of_satan • • •Yeah, it's a continuous scale, which is something people miss sometimes. When you talk to people with millions of dollars they have a tendency to say they're not that rich, and point to some guy they know with tens of millions. They're not wrong per se even if they're dangerously out of touch; that extra digit changes a lot.
The bullshit is just that that scale goes way, way too high, as well as way too low. Human ability is normally distributed, and human worth is often held to be inalienably equal. Wealth follows a completely different distribution, for reasons.
john89
in reply to friend_of_satan • • •Honestly, I think a lot of it is just to support the idea that those who have more, deserve more.
Useful idiots are in vogue. They live vicariously through their oppressors while working service jobs for scraps.

As someone that has taken beating after beating I'm not down with violence except the verbal type. But worry not they take crazy-ies like me out to fields, make us dig our own graves, and then shoot us into them.
So maybe I have a different view of "violence for change" than you do.
