He's literally wanted by the ICC!

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

Ah but the ICC is antisemitic too.

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 week ago

I mean. That's surely the end of the argument. He's an international criminal. Literally that.

Why are police such cowards?

If I wanted to speak to you I would.

Well, HE'S SPEAKING TO YOU! What a fucking power tripping cunt. You are paid by the public and you are here to serve the public, not the other way around, why can't you answer a simple question? Is it because you know what you're doing is wrong?

ACAB.

They should have started holding the sign together. Then they'd have to talk to him as well. If the cops wanna get obtusely technical, get obtusely technical back.

I hate how the cop reiterated that they 'have rights', but... 'shut the hell up...' paraphrasing of course.

Really feels like we've got our priorities straight this year. /s

While I agree, cops will only deal with one person at a time.

[–] Swemg@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Don't they have anything useful to do instead of this? ><

I don't think inviting a kid to forcefully defy/hate like that was the right thing to do. The invitation to tread on the face as a sign of defiance/hate or whatever it was, was probably a poor choice in the moment.

I think its wrapped up in the problems with dehumanisation of enemies, that tends to breed generational circles of violence.

Failed to load media. Just me? All good, I saw it when it was posted elsewhere.

What's your DNS provider? Catbox is blocked by some Aussie ISPs at the DNS level, which could be the problem.

TPG. It started working again after stop-start of ~~Lemmy~~ Voyager. Temp glitch.

Catbox is blocked by some Aussie ISPs at the DNS level,

What!? Why? Are our ISPs making their own choices of blocklists now?

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

No, it's at the request of the government. But for reasons I don't understand the efficacy of the block is not super high.

Some info about it here: https://catbox.moe/faq.php
