Only a Clinton shill who doesn’t know those emails contain all the dirt the DNC had collected on the Trump campaign would say that.

A New York court ruled this publication, which btw showed the DNC had rigged the primaries / stolen the primaries from Bernie, and pushed media to always talk about Trump in the mistaken Clinton would easily win against him, was First Amendment protected by the highest order.

Yea, I see what you mean, and if you don’t know German you’ll likely not notice the ‘not now’ option in the pop-up that lets you keep reading. Kind of annoying but I promise the page is technically not paywalled.

Are you having trouble with republik.ch? It doesn’t have a paywall to my knowledge! But if you prefer, you can head on archive.org without any popups: https://web.archive.org/web/20240910100941/https://www.republik.ch/2020/01/31/nils-melzer-about-wikileaks-founder-julian-assange

Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Anyone can and does edit it. Heck, I know I have.

If you’ll please just read this interview with someone who has looked into the case in Sweden in great detail.

Unfortunately I’ll be at work at the time but I will be watching it soon after, I’m sure! It feels like a profound moment for humanity, that he can speak freely again. Many people are going to be watching live and hang on his every word. The pressure must be enormous. I’m very interested what he has to say.

Do you believe every rumour started by cops?

I’m just saying you’re making a big deal out of nothing. Have a good night now.

again, gender-neutral wording like they/them don’t say anything about gender or her own identity. ‘They’ does not refer to a third gender. I’m not demanding anything from her. You’re the one who brought up using the correct pronouns. So I expect you to be familiar with English grammar.

I think your language-policing is ridiculous. You can’t expect someone unfamiliar with a situation to be up-to-date with how to affirm someone’s gender correctly. Gender-neutral language functions as a safe fall-back in such situations. You can rightfully expect people to not misgender people. You cannot be rightfully offended at people using gender-neutral language. The only person I’m making demands of currently is you, because you’re making this discussion unnecessarily hostile.

Yea, they seem to have a pretty short fuse…

Also, how do you even know her preferred pronouns in English? Did you ask her?

yea, nah.

Edit: Using a word is not the same as refusing to use another word in its place.

I’m sorry but no. Using gender-neutral language does not describe gender; using ‘they’ isn’t to misgender, it just leaves the gender unspecified.

You can correctly use ‘they’ for anyone. If they’d said ‘he’, now that would’ve been different…

(Edit: typo)

yep.

The US did not really try to negotiate with the Taliban regime. The US just demanded the Taliban hand them over, then refused a quite reasonable condition to show some evidence that Al Qaeda was responsible for the attack.

At a news conference in Islamabad, the Taliban ambassador said he was sorry that people had died in the suicide attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon last week, but appealed to the United States not to endanger innocent people in a military retaliation.

“Our position on this is that if America has proof, we are ready for the trial of Osama bin Laden in light of the evidence.”

Conflating a government or regime with an international terrorist organisation is the lie the propaganda told you to accept invading and occupying an impoverished foreign country that had just gone through a famine.

The US invaded Iraq under GW Bush on a lie about WMD’s. Killed Saddam and countless Iraqis, including journalists, for nothing.

The US invaded Afghanistan rather than negotiate with its ruling power to hand over Bin Laden, then didn’t get their hands on him for another decade even though the US won the war and took over the country from day 1. 20+ years of bloody occupation later you lost the war and the Taliban is back in power. Another pointess war started with deception.

Don’t get me started on Vietnam.

You guys have some twisted idea of democracy where the ‘Democrats’ don’t even elect their own candidates.

Please stop exporting democracy. The world doesn’t want your perverse version.

Hitler killed himself btw.

Ikr!

free world

lmao

I take issue with inaccurate language. This is how trains crash. A conspiracy is where 2 or more people plan something in secret. A conspiracy theory is where an outsider speculates about the nature of such plans. Also, without wanting to speculate myself, logically it was either a lone actor or a group conspiring, since it clearly wasn’t publicised in advance. I personally doubt it was some grand conspiracy.

How do you spread a conspiracy? I think you mean speculation.

‘backed by mountains of bodies’

is what I read initially…
