Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•This is what it looks like to truly be one of the wealthiest countries
0·1 day agoThe Netherlands is the most populated of those countries with all of 18 million people, the next most populated is Belgium with 12 million people.
The rest have less than 12 million. Norway and Finland are the least populated with around 6 million each.
I feel like their good governance and ability to share the wealth mor equitably relates to their small populations.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s the best way to irritate people sending me political spam text messages?
3·1 day agoI’m aware of foreign call centers, but how does all that translate to you knowing the spam calls are from homophobic people?
Also, I don’t think we we’re talking about the commenters send your image specifically were we? I think they were using past tense and speaking about black men in general.
Also none of it mentioned the man was gay. I don’t think you can just assume all foreign call center workers are homophobic shitheads.
This has been a very confusing interaction. I don’t think we’re on the same page at all.
I think it’s Capitalism.
More people need to refuse enacting the jobs we all know are ruining the world.
If you’re building anything for a billionaire, from a mine, to a yatch, to a compound, to an AI data center: FUCKING QUIT LOUDLY.
…and we need more jobs in areas tht help the world. Planting plants, checking wildlife, doing pollution checks, checking workplaces are obeying the laws and regulations, putting uo solar panels, designing and business parks, hospitals, homes, and schools.
Perhaps most importantly if you’re starting a business doing these things. I know that hierarchical Capitalism isn’t good or ideal, but ultimately it’s driving a lot of the horrible things in the world, from lobbying to AI, and we have to turn that shit around somehow too.
“Getting involved” can’t just be about protesting or “stopping the bad direction” - at some point we need to go in the good direction too.

World News@lemmy.world•British billionaire warned Epstein was a ‘sexual deviant’ decades before FBI closed in on the abuserEnglish
11·1 day agoI can’t say because other people did warn the police and nothing happened (until 2006). Hell, people were still friends and hanging out with Epstein after his 2006 arrest which was for soliciting prostitution, and came only once he was being investigated for molesting minors.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s the best way to irritate people sending me political spam text messages?
102·1 day agoIf it’s a failed MMS message that produces the results you could probably do that with any old image, rather than one that could specifically be construde as sexual harassment.
Also “penis as weapon” and “black men as exotic sexual body-objects” might not be tropes/meme-thinking you want to perpetuate in the world.
Plenty of other images that suggest penises don’t have to be aggressive implements, and small dicked regular black dudes who are just regular people are a thing too.
Maybe penises surrounded by flowers, or penises dressed in silly miniture costumes.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s the best way to irritate people sending me political spam text messages?
3·1 day agoI think you should separate out your goals, is it to irritate (revenge motivated), or just to be left alone by them?
Because if it’s to irritate, maybe you just shouldn’t bother. A world with more and more irritated people probably isn’t where you want to live, and probably isn’t going to be a kinder world.

World News@lemmy.world•British billionaire warned Epstein was a ‘sexual deviant’ decades before FBI closed in on the abuserEnglish
16·1 day agoGoldsmith’s alleged warning came around 1987, years before complaints about Epstein’s solicitation of young girls for sex began filtering into federal law enforcement.

politics @lemmy.world•Congressional candidate is raped while repairing her campaign signs
291·1 day agoI don’t know how feminist I’d consider him. As I recall, he and Stephen Fry both drifted right in their politics over the past decade or so:
“the problem with American communism, which is woke, is better described as American Marxism. And what it is is instead of trying to redistribute wealth, which is a perfectly reasonable thing to want to do, they want to redistribute status. And that is a recipe for fucking madness” -Jimmy Carr
Stephen Fry ended up praising Jordan Peterson or some such, Carr started talking anti-woke politics on podcasts after being “cancelled” by a heckler.
From a student news website:
“Jimmy Carr has built his career on his deliberately offensive style of comedy – nothing is off limits and nobody is safe. His new special, aptly-titled His Dark Material, is supposed to epitomise this ethos, as Carr spends an hour bombarding his audience with endless quips about hipsters, vegans, gingers, women (including his own girlfriend, who sounds like a very lucky lady), victims of sexual abuse, little people, and anybody else he feels hasn’t been at the receiving end of enough grief lately. His pièce de resistance comes in the form of a section at the end of the special filled with jokes Carr brazenly calls his “career enders”, in which he says that few people know about the fact that an estimated half a million Roma people were murdered during the Holocaust because nobody wants to “talk about the positives”. One man’s suffering is another man’s slapstick.”
https://thestudentnews.co.uk/2022/03/03/the-charge-of-the-woke-brigade-the-case-against-jimmy-carr/
He tried to defend the Holocaust joke by saying it brings attention to non-jewish victims of the Holocaust which earned him every comedians highest achievement when going anti-woke - being defended by Jeremy Clarkson.
I was as per the right most panel when reading this.
We need more people like this in politics, because if they’re not there, we’ll get the bad kinds.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump suggests Iran could 'take out' Los Angeles and San Diego if it develops nuclear weapons
1·2 days agoIf Greenland becomes a super power with nuclear weapons, they could fire those nukes at the entire US… Wherever you live, this could effect you. You could say Greenland may be the greatest threat the world has ever seen, posing as a small incapable region of Denmark.
This is why I have decided to preemptively send troops and private oil companies in to stop this. I’m calling it my big beautiful invasion, it’s gonna be peaceful and we’re gonna make them pay for it.
Guess who’s gonna pay me to invade them? I have all these guys, big business guys, they’re oil guys so they’re all really rich… And they’re saying to me “Mr. Trump! Mr.Trump! It’s okay Mr. Trump, we’ll pay for it”.
I’m kidding! He doesn’t talk this way anymore. These days he gurgles and sounds like a dementia patient who just shat his pants…
…because he’s a dementia patient who’s just shat his pants. He’s also ALWAYS BEEN an overtly corrupt insider. Voters just didn’t realize it because they were upset at the establishment system and desperately wanted something different!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What could be done to deplatform the alt-right from a big forum?
8·2 days agoSomeone who doesn’t even have the balls to name and shame the forum won’t be able to do anything. But in all honesty, comedy is the only thing that works.
The alt-right innately functions on relief.
They thrive off people feeling disgruntled and under represented by the system, feeling overlooked and alienated. People who have grievances.
…and then they provide those people with an identity, community, and a sense that someone is listening and will represent them.
That person is usually seen as a capable outsider who bucks the system and “gets them” showing this by being charismatic and funny. Someone who swims in the same waters/thoughts as them.
You’d have to break and replace all that, show them who “their guy” really is whilst being funnier and more charismatic. It’s really tough to do and will need more than just one person.

politics @lemmy.world•The Long and Extremely Urgent To-Do List if Democrats Take the House
83·2 days ago…more of a “things the rich can pay us to NOT do”, and they’ll all become more corrupt along the way.
“We really tried on this, but even later on when we held the House, Senate, and Presidency, we still just couldn’t get it done.” -Democrats pretending to be incapable (when they’re paid to be that way).
It’s all money. The government is a pay for play business for wealthy companies and people.
