As a Canadian I'm proud of my fellow countrymen for helping and accepting refugees. Although most arrive here with nothing, studies have shown they benefit our society in the long run. They contribute massively to our economy and enrich our culture. They overcome daunting obstacles and become productive members of society, and they make Canada a better, fairer and more inclusive place
Turkey won't allow military ships to pass the Bosporus in any direction while there's a war on. This prevents Russia from reinforcing their Black Sea fleet but also prevents Western navies from entering.
The cruise line is concerned about upsetting their passengers, that is all.
I was thinking it was just a right wing, anti-immigrant politician, not an actual Nazi. Then I went to check.. holy hell.
Absolutely no way in hell that a plane carrying Putin would be broadcasting ADSB
It's a result of compassion fatigue. When the first dead migrant children washed up on the Greek coast on people were appalled and transfixed. But the next month there were more dead bodies, and then more. Eventually people stop caring.
I'm old enough to remember "Live Aid". When Bob Geldof got up on stage and said we were going to end world hunger people really believed it was possible. Since then there have been dozens more famines in Ethiopia, and the deaths run to the tens of millions. And now no-one mentions them.
I think that everyone involved in the search already assumed it was an implosion. The sub lost comms and navigation simultaneously which strongly suggested a catastrophic event.
Lemmy is more than worth it just for the lack of "he gets us" ads alone.
Shadow banning is Orwellian . something you might expect from the CCP instead of a supposedly progressive online forum. If you're going to ban someone at least have the decency to let them know they are banned.
Shadow banning.. one of the most Orwellian moderation tools ever.
Remembering back to a time when killing three people was a big fucking deal.
It's insane that a country which suffered so much under a fascist dictatorship would want to return fascists to power.
