Jaysyn, in U.S., Big Oil Exploit Guyana Border Dispute to Attack Venezuela
@Jaysyn@kbin.social avatar

Nevermind that Guyana has asked for the USA's assistance fending off their imperialistic neighbor...

And nevermind the fact that this whole thing has been going through international arbitration at the International Court of Justice.

Venezuela is the one ignoring international law on this.

CubitOom, in U.S., Big Oil Exploit Guyana Border Dispute to Attack Venezuela

Why is the land in dispute? Before oil was found, who owned it?

Jaysyn, (edited )
@Jaysyn@kbin.social avatar

Guyana, since 1899. This is quite literally propaganda trying to drum up support for Venezuela's illegal invasion via tying the USA's support for Guyana to the Isreal - Palestine war.

Only actual idiots would fall for this.

It was disputed before the oil was found, but the ownership wasn’t pushed much because the land was not particularly valuable.

In colonial times, first, both were owned by Spain. Then the Dutch colonized Guyana, but a definite border was never set between Guyana and Venezuela. Then the British conquered Guyana from the Dutch. The border dispute was inherited by Venezuela and Guyana.

It’s not as simple as “Guyana has oil, Venezuela wants oil, Venezuela is invading Guyana for their oil.” Instead, oil has been found mostly offshore of land Venezuela has always claimed as its own. On top of this, the oil is mostly being extracted by countries that officially consider Venezuela an enemy state, and those countries are deploying their military forces much closer to Venezuela’s undisputed territory than their own (though this is, of course, nothing new to the United States, who don’t even hesitate to conduct patrols in the South China Sea, let alone the South Caribbean).

It’s impossible to say for sure, but if Guyana wasn’t solidly aligning itself with the United States and its corporations, it’s unlikely that tensions would be as high as they are.

SeaJ,

Venezuela had the US represent it in a boundary dispute with the UK over British Guiana. They settled things back in 1899. Then in 1962 Venezuela decided to stop recognizing that settlement. The UN has been pushed Arbitration several times and given steps to settle it but it has not officially been resettled. The UK and Guyana have administered the area the entire time. Venezuela has no legitimate claims and it is basically sour grapes that Maduro is using to distract his shitty his dictatorship is.

Do they really not understand why Palestinians fight? Zeev Jabotinsky figured it out 100 years ago.

All Natives Resist Colonists

There is no justification for such a belief. It may be that some individual Arabs take bribes. But that does not mean that the Arab people of Palestine as a whole will sell that fervent patriotism that they guard so jealously, and which even the Papuans will never sell. Every native population in the world resists colonists as long as it has the slightest hope of being able to rid itself of the danger of being colonised.

Oh cool a war for oil.

I'm sure we'll let those corporations pay for it. No way we'll magically find a couple trillion lying around the couch cushions like every other time.

@zach

@fwygon

Hey, why did you report this as doxxing?

Cowbee,

Ya love to see it.

zach,
some_guy,

Is someone apologizing for nazis? Aww, poor little guy.

zach,

I didn’t apologize for anyone

th3raid0r,

Imagine, not wanting to normalize Doxxing is tantamount to being a Nazi…

Y’all, at this point if Nazi’s start doxxing everyone else I’m just going to sit back with popcorn. This isn’t about defending anyone its about preventing an all-out dox war, which I’m VERY much not in the mood for.

But you know, that makes us Nazi simps now apparently?

zach,

Did you have a follow up question or was my explanation of what doxxing is sufficient?

OurToothbrush,

Why do you think nazis getting doxxed is a reason to report it? Are you under the impression we care about nazis being doxxed here?

zach,

According to the article, activists are already using the information to further their research. So, it’s not out of the question that innocent people’s information was released after buying material from this site for research. Doxxing is also not legal in every jurisdiction, which can lead to legal repercussions for the doxxer and the platform that hosts the information. It also encourages retaliation, which potentially puts the community at risk.

A report is just that, a report. I sent a heads up that this post contained doxxed information. If the mod team is not concerned by it, it’s obviously within your power to ignore my report. If you needed more information, it would have been easy to send a PM rather than trying to make some kind of statement by asking publicly.

Tosti, in The ‘Brain Drain’ is a Symptom of How Capitalism has Failed the Healthcare Sector
@Tosti@feddit.nl avatar

Or, how the government failed the people by allowing healthcare to be an unregulated for profit market.

It is perfectly fine for commercial entities to be present there. The conversation should be on acceptable profits and transparency in costs.

Situations occur where for example a knee operation always earns the clinic the same, private clinics wil only do the simple ones and make a killing while referring complicated cases to hospitals that take a loss on the procedure.

JoYo, in Qatar sent millions to Gaza for years – with Israel’s backing
@JoYo@lemmy.ml avatar

With as much fear I have for the deletion of the jews living in israel by hamas, mujahadeen, and hezbolah, this conflict was clearly sculpted by Netanyahu.

He’s said loudly and frequently that he wants Hamas to be the one in power in Gaza.

CocktailSuckers, (edited )

That would actually be the best for the peace

Come on, if you’re going to be an antisemitic piece of shit at least be creative about it

CocktailSuckers,

rivermonster,

They’ve been partners ever since Hamas got him elected by less than a percent.

Hamas made Netanyahu, and then he helped them get rid of Arafat in turn.

“Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves … politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves… The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country. … Behind the terrorism [by the Arabs] is a movement, which though primitive is not devoid of idealism and self sacrifice.” — David Ben Gurion. Quoted on pp 91-2 of Chomsky’s Fateful Triangle, which appears in Simha Flapan’s “Zionism and the Palestinians pp 141-2 citing a 1938 speech.

MonkderZweite, in The Names of Thousands of Neo-Nazi Music Fans Just Got Leaked

So are they “Neo-Nazi music” fans or Neo-Nazis who are music fans?

Pratai,

Yes.

Jimmyeatsausage,

I mean, lots of fascists seem to like RATM because they never thought about the lyrics. I don’t know if that phenomenon goes both ways, but I’d imagine there’s probably at least one Neo-Nazi song out there with a slappin bass line. It probably mostly sounds like bad metal or generic 90s grunge if I had to guess, though.

irreticent,

“Rage Against the Machine’s guitarist blasts Romney’s VP pick and unlikely Rage fan”

natenten,

as a black metal fan, it does happen that you find a cool band with unintelligible vocals, google the lyrics and turns out they’re neonazis

Riven,
@Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I think the crux of the issue is that these people bought and supported the nazi bands by buying products on the website which is clearly a nazi website with clear nazi symbolism being displayed.

I wouldn’t blame a rando not knowing they’re a nazi band but if that rando actively buys from a site that has nazi symbolism and isn’t hiding what it is then I’m a lil sus you know. At least I wouldn’t support that sort of stuff once I became aware of it.

Kbobabob,

Is one Nazi better than the other?

thecrotch,

Oscar Schindler existed, so yes.

dutchkimble,

They are Neo (from the Matrix) who are Nazi Music fans

dotslashme, in Nations strike deal at COP28 to transition away from fossil fuels

I never really understood the whole agreement thing where the oil producing countries need to approve a plan. First of all, there’s obviously a conflict of interest. Secondly, the other countries could just phase out their use of oil based products.

slaacaa,

But they don’t want to actually do it, and this way they can pretend to be working on it.

brainschaden, in The Names of Thousands of Neo-Nazi Music Fans Just Got Leaked

Are there more lists like that?

some_guy,

See Unicorn Riot’s torrent of internal data stolen from Patriot Front, fascists in the US. Hey, I’m sharing that download on a perpetual basis. I have a gig link uploading, so grab that fucking data.

Wait, I happen to have the link. Check this out!

Sarmyth, in 18 Jewish Elders Arrested Following Gaza Ceasefire Protest Outside White House

Is Jewish Elder a title, or are these just old jews putting on airs?

JackGreenEarth,

Not one I’ve heard of, and I have close contact with a Jewish community.

library_napper, in Puma Drops Israel
@library_napper@monyet.cc avatar

Puma itself claimed that the decision to end its sponsorship was taken a year ago, and had nothing to do with the global movement for Palestine. The Israeli Football Association rejected what BDS claimed, stating that it was a “pathetic attempt…to mislead” and that it rejected the option to extend its contract with Puma back in September.
