azimir, to worldnews in Andrew Tate charged with rape and human trafficking

I hope they get a fair trial, are allowed to present their defense, and are treated properly by the courts as defendents.

If they’re found guilty I hope they’re given a very long sentence in a very dark hole. No, I won’t shed a tear if they’re convicted. They’re both human pieces of shit. If they’re tried and convicted pieces of shit then the world will be a little bit better while they’re incarcerated.

"The reason why Xi Jinping got very upset, in terms of when I shot that balloon down with two box cars full of spy equipment in it, was he didn't know it was there," Mr Biden said at the event on Tuesday.

Make that an oblivious dictator.

Godofthemachine, to news in US-China tensions: Biden calls Xi a dictator a day after Beijing talks

It’s true. Xi is a dictator. More at 11. But let’s be honest, when has the US ever had a problem with dictators. Heck the US basically installed half of them during the cold war.

DrewWilson, to tech in Elon Musk: Australia threatens to fine Twitter over online hate

The legal liability of Twitter continues to build up. It may take a long time to chip away at a $44bn investment, but that time is by no means infinite.

promised to protect free speech on the platform.

Even as he is currently threatening to ban people who say someone is "cisgender".
Actual slurs are fine to say, but he'll claim regular words are the real slurs whenever he likes.

Lightninhopkins, to news in At least 30 migrants feared dead in Canary Islands disaster

We gonna scramble coast guards from around the world for this one? No? I see.

AllonzeeLV,

Humans don't care about humans, silly. Only money.

I hope climate change wins.

Turkey_Titty_city,

esp in usa. we'd rather children be murdered by the 100s in their schools than pass any restrictions that might limit firearms sales.

Were they in a submarine ?

There's so much irony in the fact that the world's resources were mobilised to save 5 people while 2 major incidents involving the death of a lot of migrants was happening. First the Greece incident, now this.

Turkey_Titty_city,

for most human beings your worth is your bank account/assets.

those who have everything are superhuman figures, those who have nothing, are sub-human.

hence we waste millions to save a few rich people, but the immigrants can fuck right off and die, we won't lift a finger or even cherish a thought.

it's incredibly fucked up when you think about it. but vast majority do not think. they simple bootlick and worship at the alter of the wealthy as if they were gods.

In Italy we have now compassion fatigue. It is just so overwhelming that we've become desensitized. Thousands of lives are saved, and lost, year on year, and nothing ever changes. The migrant plight has become both a business and a political stance to take advantage of on all sides.

Aside of those poor souls, there are no good guys in this fucked up mess. Do not be surprised, also, if the Titan wreck makes the news and the loss of 1000+ people in the space of a summer doesn't.

Because news are not subsidised anymore and need to run on money, views and paper sales.

A wreck on an iconic wreck site generates views.

The n-th migrant shipwreck does not generate views anymore (compassion fatigue, remember) unless you stick to it the picture of a dead child's body washed ashore.

It's cynical, and I hate it, but it's how it is.

updawg,

Was it really the world's resources and not just the Coast Guards of the two closest countries, exactly the same as with these migrants?

IOM said there were 45 shipwrecks on the route during that period, but acknowledged the figure is "probably underestimated" because data is scarce and incomplete.

DO SOMETHING. STOP LETTING PEOPLE DIE. yeah you saved 24 people, due to a probably diligent search TEN HOURS LATE, MAYBE YOU SHOULD MAKE A TEAM THAT HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACT WAY QUICKER ON THESE TYPES OF DISASTERS WHEN YOU KNOW THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY
Morocco and the EU is obviously purposefully negligent on this topic, but I hope there's some group somewhere within the system that's working to change this.

Did anybody read the article or are you gonna turn this place into reddit? If you upvote and comment rageclick then you will have more rageclick. Is that what you want?

A Spanish rescue service ship, the Guardamar Caliope, was only about an hour's sail from the dinghy on Tuesday evening, Reuters reported, citing Spanish state news agency EFE. The ship did not aid the dinghy because the operation had been taken over by Moroccan officials, which dispatched a patrol boat that arrived on Wednesday morning, 10 hours after it had been spotted by a Spanish rescue plane, Reuters reports.

oohhh, the narrative backfires. What about you talk about Morroco? Where is your rage now?

@Clairvoidance@kbin.social avatar

fuck those officials, what were they doing for 10 hours, what have they been doing since these incidents started? idk kinda easy to be mad still

LostCause, to news in Russia: Prigozhin tells mercenaries to turn back from Moscow advance to 'avoid bloodshed' - BBC News

How weird, you‘d think once you march on the capital you either follow through or you‘re done, he truly trusts Putin not to get rid of him now?

HeartyBeast,
@HeartyBeast@kbin.social avatar

Too early to tell. Let’s face it. He wouldn’t have had any chance of taking Moscow without mass defections in the Russian military. It would have been suicide.

Sounds like the Belarus president brokered some kind of deal, but I don’t fancy the Wagner leader’s chances of survival medium term.

LostCause,

Maybe with the surprise attack there was a teeny tiny chance, after waiting around for Russian military to sober up and organise, zero chance for sure. Ah well, couldn‘t happen to a more deserving guy.
