@[email protected], it’s okay if you don’t understand, before I had faced widespread systemic violence and oppression by the system and watched family be mistreated and die preventable deaths, I’m not sure I would have understood either.

By the way, welcome to lemmy! I hope you enjoy it here :)

We need to recognise social murder as murder.

Thousands of people die preventable deaths every day because of health insurance not covering basic measures, but people online spend more effort defending the life of one CEO, than those millions of cumulative deaths.

The unheard pleas and screams for help of millions of people are being ignored so a couple rich people can uphold their hierarchy. It’s inevitable that some of the oppressed people will crack, here it was Luigi, a rich and privileged kid, who couldn’t deal with the sort of stuff poor disabled and marginalised folk deal with every day.

But yet we also see him as a sort of symbol, standing for the collective pain we have felt, the relatives and friends who have died preventable deaths, someone who stood up and sent a message to the people causing so much suffering.

Most won’t agree with how he did it, and that’s okay, but you’ve got to admit, your “letter” comparison doesn’t make sense. He could have sent a letter, and it would have been ignored, just like the millions of pleas for help were.

“I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine, never,” Zelenskyy told “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker on Friday in Munich, Germany. “This is the war in Ukraine, against us, and it’s our human losses.”

Yep. S01 and S02 of American Dad are watchable too, and then it becomes bigoted slop.

Those shows both started off lefty, and then became “mainstream” so they had to make fun of leftists, which meant basically being racist, ableist etc.

OSM frontend.

there’s no totally FOSS maps app on IOS, but a free OSM frontend is about as good as you’re going to get.

President-elect Trump launched his own cryptocurrency overnight and swiftly appeared to make more than $25 billion on paper for himself and his companies. 

Why it matters: The stunning launch of $TRUMP caught the entire industry off-guard, and speaks to both his personal influence and the ascendancy of cryptocurrency in his administration.

  • It also speaks to the nature of the crypto industry that someone could have $25 billion worth of something that literally did not exist 24 hours previously.

A report by risk experts says previous assessments ignored severe effects of climate crisis.

 

The World Health Organization (WHO) could see lean years ahead if the US withdraws membership under the new Trump administration. Such a withdrawal, promised on the first day of Donald Trump’s new administration, would in effect cut the multilateral agency’s funding by one-fifth.

The severe cut would be uncharted territory for the WHO, potentially curtailing public health works globally, pressuring the organization to attract private funding, and providing an opening for other countries to influence the organization. Other countries are not expected to make up the funding loss.

The WHO works to improve the health of millions of people globally – from working to eradicate polio and tuberculosis to coordinating US HIV and Aids prevention work in Africa.
