TL,DR: Putin doesn’t understand the difference between “discrimination” and “consequences”. He’s mad that people are treating his government negatively because he invaded Ukraine, so by quitting the Convention, he’s giving himself even more permission to be a brutal, authoritarian asshole.
Likely traditional. In this form, perhaps from Abraham Maslow, The Psychology of Science, 1966, page 15 and his earlier book Abraham H. Maslow (1962), Toward a Psychology of Being:
I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.
You know what? Do it. Announce a time and a place and then do it. Would be interesting to see if your nukes still worked or not. But to make sure, you might have to use them closer to the Kremlin just so we know you're serious.
Yeah but the US only nuked itself for understandable reasons, like to find out things about their new bomb designs or to study the effects of the explosion/radiation. When it came to just demonstrate power and wave their nuclear dick, they only wanted to bomb the moon.
Article title: RT’s Simonyan Faces Backlash Over Call to Detonate Nuke Over Siberia ;Post title: Siberian politicians slammed journalist of pro-Kremlin news outlet RT for her calls to drop nuclear bomb over Siberia as a way of sending a message to the West
Who tf is slammifying and blastifying all the damn titles? AI? And are you a retard? Someone should fix this crap…
I changed the title because I assume that many people don’t know who Ms. Simonyan is, and possibly don’t know even what ‘RT’ is if they read this out of context. ‘The Moscow Times’ can do that as their readers might be familiar with these names and terms assuming they have some knowledge of Russia and, above all, they are visiting a Russia-focused medium.
When reading a community called ‘Europe’ on a general interest platform like Lemmy, however, I can reasonably assume that many people wouldn’t understand the original title. This is why I changed it.
That aside, you may think before you type, and ask questions. If you then still see a reason for your tonality, then feel free to go ahead with this style and I’ll like the block feature.
Mayve I misunderstood (if so, I apologize). What I want to do is to add clarity if I think it’s necessary, but I don’t change the original author’s wording or something.
These issues aren’t exactly contradicting each other, though. You can be anti-immigration but still want other economies to grow and develop and be supported.
Putin has brainwashed Russians with hatred towards everyone and everything.
Not that long ago Russia had a lot of LGBT artists, like Shura, Boris Moiseyev, t.A.T.u. (which even went to Eurovision), as well as many acts from xUSSR countries like Verka Serduchka were super popular. Everyone is gone and gay propaganda is a crime.
Not that long ago the USSR was trying really hard to show the world they love Africans, loads studied (for free), lived, married, had successful carriers. Great examples are rapper N’PANS and TV presenter Elena Khanga. Khanga moved to YouTube, N’PANS went underground.
Not that long ago racism and bigotry was weird and unusual, today it’s just the way of life.
And since the start of war, everyone who was against moved out to other countries.
To a large extent, the concept of an “election” as a driver of people’s wills is a Western construct. In China, for example, people’s wills are directly expressed my complaining to the government. For example, we saw that the government tore down it’s COVID-19 restrictions following mass protests and that they shut down the tutoring economy following a huge number of complaints. Meanwhile, the US is notorious for claiming things during elections and turning around to deliver nothing with no system of recourse for voters.
This isn’t to say that China has a free and liberal democracy, but it is to say that a free election does not make a free democracy and that the ability to impact government policy does not require elections to be free.
Of course, none of this is relevant because Russia’s government doesn’t listen to their citizens lol.
