I don’t think you can call the USA’s efforts to undermine South America’s governments a conspiracy at this point. It’s well documented that over the years the CIA have done everything they can to control the region. In this episode of the ongoing South American telenovela, DT wanted the Nobel peace prize. There was no reason to give it to him so instead someone smarter used the US leverage over the committee to create a narrative where the US backed opposition would get some legitimacy and global recognition so that the upcoming coup wouldn’t taste so bad.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you think of people who CONSTANTLY talk about religion?
162·20 days agoI think people don’t talk about religion enough, because I find it criminally irresponsible that we allow (and that’s an understatement) religious people in positions of power. Decisions affecting the future of humanity and the planet are being made by irrational individuals and we’re acting as if there’s nothing wrong with that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•My mom says that people who don't have "value" don't deserve to live and that "depression" is just an excuse for laziness. What's is your rebuttal for it?
3·29 days agoWhat “value” does she purport to bring? Just out of curiosity.
Oh yes how clumsy of them, dropping a fake photo in with the real evidence. Can’t trust the public sector to do the simplest of
scamsjobs.

5·1 month agoLived in Germany for years and had all of these. Love mettbrötchen, krustenbraten etc etc. BUT. I believe Germans don’t prioritize food. They will eat any cheap shit and save the money for beer. In the office a bunch of people - mainly foreigners - got together and arranged for a restaurant to be bringing food every day for a relatively cheap price. It was great. But most Germans would still prefer to go to Lidl and eat canned pasta for lunch. It’s not that they couldn’t afford it. They just didn’t want to spend €8 for food every day. Canned pasta and Birckenstock with white socks dude. Every day.
Which version of Christianity do you consider to be more accepting?
Feels like you have a different take so I’d like to hear it.

183·2 months agoSee this is exactly what GaMEChld is talking about, with the first mention of men the first thing you thought about was assault. As if this is the norm yeah? An inherent trait of normal people. Men, what do they do? In their free time they watch football and assault women. Smh You need to surround yourself with normal people my friend

2·2 months agoI have no issues with anyone’s post to begin with, you’re the one who got offended by what I said, remember?
And for a person so obsessed with gender, it’s ironic that you would make that assumption yourself. It speaks to your biases…
Good attempt at projecting though I’ll give you that. Better luck next time.

33·2 months agoYou are desperately deflecting from the fact that you assumed OP’s gender. How about we start with that acknowledgement and move on from there. If you like we can dissect every little facet of this silly post we’re arguing over. Imho - and given that you already judged me so harshly - here’s some back. You seem to have some issues with men, you appear to be looking for abusers everywhere, probably from past trauma. Once again, I’m terribly sorry for whatever may have happened to you, but it’s affecting your judgment in a terrible way and it makes you seem toxic. I hope you’re aware and working on that. I’m sure you can overcome it if you acknowledge it.

63·2 months agoPeople like me huh? You literally know nothing about me yet you figured me out in two seconds. I didn’t draw any conclusions from the original post, I took it at face value. You’re the one apparently making up stories about a man’s word and bs. You don’t even know if op is a man, you just fucking assumed. I’m sorry for you and for those around you. You sound absolutely insufferable.

35·2 months agoLook if I were to guess I’d say most probably she never said anything of the kind, and that’s just the op making his otherwise dull question a little spicy for the people to get involved.
But if you take the post at face value and set aside all your biases, you have to agree that this sounds kinda bitchy and entitled. Truth is we don’t know anything about the situation, so we can only go with what op gave us. We don’t know if he’s the owner or just renting, what country he’s in, or even if he’s a he btw.
From what was said alone, the question that I have is why is it op’s responsibility to do something about it. Seems like a household problem that op didn’t cause and one that if she lived alone she would have to deal with somehow. So asking someone else to fix it and setting ultimatums sounds like someone who’s used to having servants.

55·2 months agoWhy can’t she call the landlord, cat got her tongue?

I’m sure there’s a lot of different “factions” opposing Maduro, surely many of them on the actual left, but somehow she comes out on top.
The US’s past and present in South America is quite telling imho. The current administration have made their intentions clear - as opposed to previous administrations who were more diplomatic and secretive, but the goal is ultimately the same.
As for your 2, with all due respect that’s not what I was suggesting. Machado is just a pawn, I’m not saying she manifested this. Now if you think that’s bs, that’s cool, whatever. To me it’s pretty obvious.
