It's also been a CIA and NATO supported nationalist project since the start of the Cold War to the present day.

It's really up to the meme creator's presence these days, but readability is still important.

It's an article praising the Israel model being applied to Ukraine by a Zionist. I guess you enjoy drinking that hasbara koolaid.

Memes come from the old internet days, when there were less pixels due to bandwidth. Impact is suited to readability with very few pixels. It's just become tradition, since most of the meme generators still use it. Just use GIMP, and you can use anything you want if it's installed on your PC.

Speaking to reporters this week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the future he sees for his country in unusual terms: as “a big Israel.”

Gone, he said, are hopes for “an absolutely liberal” state—replaced by the likely reality of armed defense forces patrolling movie theaters and supermarkets. “I’m confident that our security will be the number-one issue over the next ten years,” Zelenskyy added.

The Good Cop / Bad Cop routine works so well on a lot of people. They are both cops working to put you in jail (uphold capitalist status quo), they just have different strategies to achieve that outcome, and the game theory logic works in the cops favor.

You have to realize you are a prisoner before you can understand the actual dilemma. If no prisoner cops out, this is true solidarity.

Republicans are libs too, in that they too support the continuation of the child crusher that is capitalist hegemony. Leftism begins with anti-capitalism. The US has two pro-capitalist parties with different branding, much like Pepsi and Coke.

This has been a very common technique of tracking for a while. I doubt using a browser tab is even a novel use case.

It's a great mechanism for "peer review" especially in the sense that ethics and legality are often entirely different things.

[–] culprit@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Basically a jury can legally decide to nullify by declaring "not guilty" regardless of the facts or the judge's instructions, etc. This is why even mentioning jury nullification during a trial can really upset the judge and the prosecution. It is supposed to be something every jury is aware of, but that is usually not actually the case.

It’s just categorically dishonest.

The only two countries with significant Muslim populations that have voted at the UN to condemn China's treatment of Uyghurs are in Europe: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Both are also currently NATO members or in the process of joining.

All other Muslim countries have consistently voted in support of China's treatment of Uyghurs.

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) visited China as part of a greater investigation into the treatment of Muslims in non-OIC member states. On 1 March 2019, OIC produced a document which "commends the efforts of the People's Republic of China in providing care to its Muslim citizens." A coalition of American Muslim groups criticized the OIC's decision and accused member states of being influenced by Chinese power. The groups included the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

After Palestinian ambassador to China Fariz Mehdawi [ar] visited Xinjiang in March 2021, he remarked on Chinese state media that he was impressed by the region's infrastructure and upkeep of mosques,[166] saying "if you have to calculate it all, it's something like 2,000 inhabitants for one mosque. This ratio, we don't have it in our country. It's not available anywhere."[167] RFA journalist Shohret Hoshur wrote in response that Mehdawi was neglecting the harsh reality of locals with whom he had met and who had no ability to speak the truth under the watch of officials, adding that his true motivation seemed to be a shared anti-US agenda with China.[154]
