When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another such that death results, we call the deed manslaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder. But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live – forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence – knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual

The “saving face” is am especially weird one, because no one anywhere likes to be embarrassed.

Oh shit you’re right, no one can do this and still parrot stereotypes

I give Democrats zero credit for “not playing by the rules” when that means petty corruption like this instead of anything meaningful

If you survived childhood, and there wasn’t a plague around, or a war

Lot of “ifs”

We’d had Star Trek for two years by that point. It really was not that groundbreaking.

Star Wars came out 9 years after 2001 (edit: and the original series Star Trek doesn’t have near the realism of 2001). The visuals absolutely were groundbreaking – they still hold up, and look better than all but a handful of space movies that came out before about the 90s.

Your point with the pacing is fair, but I think about half that is an artifact of the time or a byproduct of watching it on a couch with a smartphone instead of in a theater.

You care more about posting etiquette than you do about Canadian parliament applauding a Nazi.

This story has circulated widely enough (I see multiple articles on BBC and CBS, among other outlets) that they had to issue an apology. I don’t believe you haven’t heard of it, but if you really haven’t, what does that say about where you’re getting your news/what draws your attention?

Do you have even the slightest problem with Canadian parliament applauding a Nazi? You and a bunch of other people here seem to think litigating how to post is more important than the actual issue.

Here’s the news story if you missed the dozen other threads on it and the discussion elsewhere in this thread. Let me know if you need anything else spoonfed to you.

The Canadian parliament gave one of these Nazis a standing ovation within the past week.

The point is that who that guy was should be no surprise to anyone, because this all has been public knowledge since (at least) Windows 95.

This is relevant context to the recent incident of the Canadian parliament giving a standing ovation to one of these Nazis.

Holy shit, read what you respond to

The guy criticizing Canada for knowingly admitting Nazis is somehow a Nazi?

Sharp as a cue ball, this one

“I’m lazy” is your argument here? Even the blurb from the start of the article says this immigration happened in 1950.

Did history start yesterday? Are we ever allowed to discuss the background of current events?

I explained why in the comment you responded to, read that lol

This is very obviously relevant to a recent news story that has had several posts here already.

This is relevant context to the recent incident of the Canadian parliament giving a standing ovation to one of these Nazis. The “narrative” here is that that it’s abhorrent and no one in the room has an excuse to plead ignorance as the presence of Nazis in Canada was well-known at least 25 years ago.

lemmy.world can always federate after they’ve demonstrated that elsewhere

Pretty funny how you immediately abandoned this bit. Why not just be honest?
