“foreign aid” is one tiny way that American stolen wealth makes its way out. Notably you didn’t say “military aid”

you Americans will blame anything and everything before capitalist wealth hoarding

there’s nothing neo about this, let’s not even give them the credit of originality. This is exactly what happened 100 years ago.

Organize. Sabotage. General strike. Protest. Political action isn’t one day every four years.

white Christian males are also susceptible to measles and pollution and severe storms

That was with moderates and non-partisan civil servants playing interference on his worst ideas.

You remember everything that came out about how people would ignore his orders until he forgot?

None of those people will be there

Which aspects of immigration are harming you?

wouldn’t it be nice if the profit motive wasn’t the only driving force of the economy?

and that’s all it is, a reference not a joke.

A good example of a pavlov joke is the one where pavlov goes to a bar after work, and just as he’s about to order the phone rings in the bar and he shouts “oh shit I forgot to feed the dogs!”

whatever happened to chatrooms, simple meditation, or therapy? it’d be better if your personal drama didn’t emit as much carbon dioxide as your commute

This is what happens when NDP policy is filtered through Liberal government, it would be nice if we could give them a direct chance.

Not the only way… Maybe we should do something about the “invisible hand” constantly giving us the middle finger

If we want to uphold the principle of international diplomacy and the summit represents a huge bloc of the world’s population then yes he really should. If Israel is hosting an event for dozens of countries he should. He’s not just visiting his buddy Putin or Netenyahu. He’s the main diplomat of the UN.

The UN is a diplomatic organization that represents the entire world and exists to provide non-violent outlets for issues between nations. Being present at BRICS, which is rapidly adding membership and represents a counter-bloc to Western oriented alliances like NATO and the G7 (which expelled Russia in 2014.) is part of that mission.

Guterres was at the G7 summit https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/sg/press-encounter/2023-05-21/secretary-generals-press-encounter-g7-summit

Why shouldn’t he be at a similar summit representing:

Combined, the BRICS members encompass about 30% of the world’s land surface and 45% of world population

The UN isn’t (rather: shouldn’t be) a Western organization. It’s a global organisation. His attendance there is a necessary part of his duties.

From the perspective of any nation on the receiving end of US aggression his participation at the G7 would have been seen as equally upsetting. You’re letting your bias in favor of Ukraine color your judgement.

Putting these valid points aside we’re also all just taking for granted that the software would have properly identified a human under the same circumstances… This could very easily have been a much more chilling outcome

Being a run of the mill fascist (rather than those in power) is actually an incredibly submissive position, they just want strong daddies to take care of them and make the bad people go away. It takes courage to be a “snowflake liberal” by comparison

Capitalist threats of leaving are hilarious. Oh no the non-contributors will leave. The workers are the economy. If capital flight becomes a problem that’s only a problem within a larger capitalist framework.

Let them all leave, then we can own our own labour output.
