ये हंगाम-ए-विद-ए-शब है ज़ुल्मत के फ़रज़ंदो,

सहर के दोश पर गुलनार परचम हम भी देखेंगे,

तुम्हें भी देखना होगा ये आलम हम भी देखेंगे

-- Sahir Ludhianvi

  • Exactly. We need better counter intelligence. If you can't save tourists in the most millitarised zone in the world, are you really 'tough on terrorism'?

  • Yeah. Only 2 or 3 were in any way associated with the security forces, and none of them were involved in Kashmir. One was a naval officer posted in Kochi, which is on the other side of the country.

    Sorry to hear what happened to your neighbour.

  • It's nothing new. I would have linked to the archive photos of Abu Ghraib prison photos, but I'm not sure it's allowed, since they're NSFW. The fact that Bukele declared that no one can escape pretty much confirms that it's an actual death camp. There are metal bunks just like the ones in Auschwitz. The prisoners are kept inside for 23.5 hours, with half an hour of exercise in the lobby. The cells claim to have 1 sq. m. for each prisoner, with 80-100 prisoners, and there is no sunlight, only 24/7 artificial light. The prisoners don't speak(allegedly), and have no clocks or reading material. Some have lost their voice from not speaking. It's impossible to keep so many people in one place; some detainees must have died eventually to make space for the newcomers. Food is scant, and violence is common.

    Funnily enough, I've seen a couple of articles refer to them as 'gulags'. They aren't fucking gulags. Spreading their propaganda even when they see something this horrifying. It would be funny if it wasn't nauseating.

  • Of course they did. But medical advancements have reduced infant mortality and increased life expectancy.

    I think you misunderstood my point. Even with all material comforts and financial stability, what makes the original commenter think women will voluntarily choose to have children? The huge surge in population was not only because of government subsidies, but brutal repression and lack of any real choice women had. It is not natural -- it was artificially created by a system of violent repression of women.

  • Baldwin: Can you explain what you see as the misuse of the holocaust and WWII by the Russian government and nationalists?

    ... Havryshko: The memory of World War II is weaponized by different political actors for political and military purposes. For example, when Putin began his angry speech on the night of February 24, 2022, he emphasized that one of the goals of the so-called “special military operation” was the “denazification” of Ukraine.

    Top Russian propagandists frequently refer to the Ukrainian government as a “Nazi regime” and call Ukrainian soldiers “Nazis.”

    From the article. The author is a western academic, a historian of Holocaust studies. Read.

  • I think you're forgetting the marital rape, financial dependence on men, lack of choice, sexist culture and general helplessness and misery of women involved in creating the 'baby boom'.

  • 👍

  • TIL veganism is Jainism.

  • Nice guess, but no.

    Edit: जर्मन आणि मराठी? मी कर्नाटका पासून आहे, त्यामुळे म्हाला मराठी (मातृभाषा) आणि कन्नडा येते. जर्मनी मध्ये फॅमिली आहे का? NRI?

  • Mongolian is similar to Sanskrit, and other Indo-Aryan languages: ० १ २ ३ ४ ५ ६ ७ ८ ९ १०

  • Esperanto is still a thing? I'm surprised.

    Now that you mention it, sure, I think counting in Sanskrit would be somewhat amusing. It's such a serious, proper language. I don't ever use it in conversation, except for some fun proverbs.

  • Four. English, Hindi, Marathi (native) and Kannada. Sanskrit as well, but it's a dead language, and I can't speak Sanskrit because the grammar is extremely complicated. Had it in school for 3 years. So 5, if you're counting Sanskrit.

    I generally count in English, unless I am using another language with my friends (excluding Sanskrit).

  • There are more slaves today than there were during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade (not counting indentured servitude, which was abolished only in 1917~1920 by the country that prides itself on ending the slave trade. Not counting serfdom either). Kevin Bales wrote a book on it - 'Disposable Peoples.' Salty libs downvoting the comic would benefit from some reading. Read 'Cobalt Red' by S. Kara while you're at it too.

    Liberals are so efficient when cracking down on communists, purging them with ruthless efficiency from both the public sphere and the government then why do they go soft on fascists who abuse free speech with some silly milquetoast excuse? It's so obvious.

  • Communists aren't evil. That stinks of red scare propaganda. Though apparently she did vote for the Ukrainian invasion, which sucks. And no, that doesn't devalue the achievements of the Soviet Space program. It does count.

  • The first 'female-only crew' in space is technically Valentina Tereshkova (she went alone). Not these women.

  • Yes. You can't explain women's pain to those who masturbate to it.
