One Thousand and One Nights, that is the oldest.
It was in lemmy.world.
I did not quote the post because it is in spanish.
In short: a guy argued that my country’s goverment is a dictatorship because expeled out the staff of an UN office that is supposed to work on human rights issues and in his opinion there are human rights violations. I replied that a dictatorship is defined by the means a group of people get and/or keep political power and stay in power against the will of majority. Democracy: power by people’s vote, otherwise could be a dictatorship. The violations of human rights does not define dictatorship and made this example: Israel’s goverment is legal and democratic but, in mi opinion, is commiting genocide against Palestine people, so violations of human rights does not equal dictatorship.
I guess that was the trigger, the guy freaked out and i Just stoped the argument, thought it was useless.
A humble and simple “c” for “clear” in the terminal.
The article in www.lgbtnation.com says:
A Houthi court in Dhamar, Yemen, has sentenced nine people to death on homosexuality charges, according to Amnesty International.
Checking Amnesty International:
Yemen: Huthis must stop executions and release dozens facing LGBTI charges On 23 January, the criminal court in Dhamar in northern Yemen sentenced nine individuals to death – with seven sentenced to be executed by stoning, and two by crucifixion – while 23 others were handed prison sentences between six months and 10 years on charges including “homosexuality”, “spreading immorality”, and “immoral acts”. On 1 February, the court of first instance in Ibb in southern Yemen handed death sentences to 13 students and flogging to three others on charges of ‘spreading homosexuality’.
But without any sources
The article in www.lgbtnation.com says:
“Additionally, a Houthi court in Ibb, Yemen, sentenced 13 students to death and three others to flogging for “spreading homosexuality,” according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).”
When you follow the link it leads to L´OrienteToday, and there are no sources in this web page
Looked in AFP site: NOTHING
The article in www.lgbtnation.com puts an image, if you read the caption it says:
Image released by ISIS showing citizens of Kirkuk stoning the lifeless body of a man executed for being gay.
This image is from 2016 (seearched with TinEye)
Kirkuk is in Irak, and ISIS is known for doing this things, but it is not related to the “new”. Where are Yemen images?
Given that the Houtis are kicking the ass of USA and UK´s Navy these “news” are too convenient. Saudi Arab and UAE used to do this and no news about it, suddenly this “news” about Yemen.
I do not buy it.
1- i did not write you intent yo kill anyone, just you are adding your contribution to a toxic environment of manipulation, if you intended or not i do not know.
2- i did not object on religious or moral grounds.
3- you did not ask for a legal answer, that would be too easy. Your question is open ended in order to obtain arguments based on different personal grounds, mine are based on: a) critical thinking. b) been fed up (sorry, do not remember a softer expression) reading such ideas. c) been on the reciving end of that media manipulation, because Putin is not the only political leader who faces this. There are too many in the world, and with them their peoples share the burden of the consequences.
4- last, i am not going to argue about this forever, do not want to win any argument. If you want to feel you are right and me wrong go ahead and be happy.
So, your position as i understand it: it is just words.
My position: words related to real world are not just words, they have meaning, purpose, intention and consequences.
Edit: if USA president is assassinated VP takes the place, is that all what would happen? ASSASSINATED, not by sickness or accident🤔.
Those kind of questions can not be made without context, it is not a game of words without consequences. If it is a game, just to waste time posting in this or any social network, let’s stop here.
It is about a real person, who is a leader, whose murder would spark grave consequences. And that leader actions, like taking the decision of going to war or not, are related to decisions made by other leaders. Right now there is a campaign demonizing that leader, and that campaign normalizes ideas mirrored by that kind of questions. There lots of memes, jokes and things like that asking for Putin’s dead.
If i asked, what would happen if Donald Trump were assassinated? Or Biden, or Xi Jing Pin, Erdogan, etc? At this moment when all media are strugling to influence public opinion? It won’t be a futile harmless game.
It pertains to the whole picture. IMHO.
Why is that question possible?
“that’s unrelated to Putin and his direct actions”, if not related, why? Why asking about assassinated political leader?
No, the question assumes that Putin is s problem (a bad guy) and almost ask his dead.
Everything is more complex, and if Putin is a bad guy…what about wéstern politicians and their crimes?
I do not like that position: the “West” is right, the rest of the world is not. That is one of the untold premises of the question.
Edit: i am not an english speaker, perhaps my writing is not clear enough.
Like a Putin for each one taste.
What about a change in the West? In order to avoid another Afganistán, Irak, Sirya, Libya and so on…
A hardliner will take power (Putin is not the most antiwest russian politician) and then…from the total erasing of Ukraine to third world war, anything would be posible, but neither civil war nor colapse of Rusia. That is the OTAN countries wet dream.
“Get your own stuff sucker”
If the alcohol you are drinking was produced in wood barrels, the tradicional and more expensive way, is less prone to give you hangover.
In the other hand the distilled alcohol, cheaper, contains a higher amount of acetaldehyde, so it is more prone to give you a hangover.
“is likely used more in urban and coastal regions of the US and Hispanic is likely used more in rural and landlocked regions”, that is, “latino” is US based word, but it means almost nothing outside that country.
At first i thought it was about day dreaming…most of people do not remember most of their dreams, and nobody can choose the themes…Is real this question?
Since many years i do not play because have no time for that, including the fixing the issues. Used to play and like to fix issues because that is a good learning technique.
Depends on the game and version of windows…old games with new windows 99% of time won´t work.
