By that logic there is no rights. It ignores what a fight is supposed to be practically and legally

Private companies should be allowed to build their own infrastructure or rent public infrastructure. But they shouldn’t be allowed to purchase public infrastructure. Imo

Be nice if Chicago had the same attitude towards our highways ):

That’s because Cannabis is not a substance with a strong chemical addiction. There has been a significant increase in cannabis usage. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/ss/ss6511a1.htm

Strictly, Cannabis isn’t really any worse than alcohol.

Heroin is far worse. Drugs are addictive, and when available legally it will encourage more people to try them.

Do you say that after running a stop sign in a school zone and killing a child?

Tell that to those who think trump would save Gaza

Freely available heroin is not a good thing. Drug addiction would get significantly worse. Decriminalize possession, criminalize distribution. That’s a more balanced approach

Companies/creatives/collectives need a way to show what they have to offer so it gets out there. Ads are far and away out of control, but their abolishment has it’s own problems (and people will advertise anyways, just stealth like they already are)

It’s a joke on reddit because every time they say it a European comes out of the wood works to prove the joke true.

That’s just strictly wrong. Never ask a European about the romani

Hey now, I never specified which skin ;3

Dead skin wallets can be made more renewably than metal

You’re very blatantly underestimating the extent of European racism just because it shows itself less towards black people specifically.

Education should not know borders.

Being able to block legislation by being 41% is NOT the same as being able to control the other 60%. There’s certainly a point where that becomes an issue but I don’t think 40% is it. The far bigger problem in the Senate is how a senator from a population of 500,000 has the same power as one from California

There’s nothing inherently undemocratic about requiring a 60% majority as opposed to a 50%

Yeah, like pretending genociding Ukrainianes is because of nato

I’ve always found the other half of American exceptiolism to be equally stupid;the opinion that America is the worst country ever, ir, exceptionally evil or bad among history.

The second is that it only includes atate actions meant to take territory in an official capacity, while many imperialist actions have been carried out under the auspices of private companies like Haliburton, Dole, the United Fruit Company, and the Dutch East India Company.

For the record, my stated definition does not limit it. When “especially” is used in definitions, it’s not stated as a limiter but rather to show it primarily applies to as such.

which is neither unprovoked nor being done to expand Russian territory

This is a fundamental disagreement. Especially in regards to saying it’s not to expand their territory as a goal.

One interesting thing I find with lemmy. Is equating ownership existing with capitalism. Presumably because that’s how it’s portrayed in communist literature.

aggression with an expansionist agenda.

especially by a country and especially unprovoked.

Economically or militarily.

D-day wouldn’t be included because the goal wasn’t expansion. Though I would be very surprised if the usa and Europe hadn’t perpetrated many acts that should be included during the full course of the war.

And of course you can get into the argument of cultural imperialism as well
