My experiences with Uyghurs differ from yours.

Cool story bro.

The vast majority of muslim nations on earth got together to send delegates to investigate in person and they declared the accusations to be baseless.

Oh, and Uyghurs are not Arabs, BTW! They are a Turkic nation.

Oh, and not all Muslims are Arabs, BTW!

Meh, she’s no Philomena Cunk.

A lifeline or ‘dystopian’?

Yes, and drop the scare quotes.

Nonsense, it’s as easy for the wealthy to build wealth as ever.

Stepan Bandera would never have outlawed antisemitism. Such a mensch he was!

This guy punches left while modding “Pragmatic Leftist Theory” (!PLT@sh.itjust.works). In a surprise to no one, PJ posts there.

Lemmy.ml doesn’t formally follow the disengage rule, but I think we’re generally likely to honor it.

Apparently it’s complicated, and I don’t care enough to investigate, because the royal trappings don’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. They’re just a useful jumping-off point in discussing class and state power.

This is like basic trolly problem shit.

The trolley problem itself is shit.

I think the question is a very, to put it mildly, useless question. It’s a typical example of an analytic philosophical thought experiment, which is has basically nothing to do with real life. No one has ever been in a situation as it is described in the trolley problem.

That doesn’t mean that sometimes, unfortunately, we are in situations where we are where we experience a moral dilemma. Of course we’re often in a situation where we experience a form of moral dilemma. But moral dilemmas are always concrete, and you always experience them under specific conditions, in a specific context that is very complex. You have specific means to make the decision, and practically never are universal moral principles even helpful to make that decision.

As a matter of fact, moral principles are I would say empirically never really used to actually decide moral dilemmas. They are used after the fact to justify a decision, which is a typical form of moral communication.

But the headline says five billion pounds. So which is it, 5 pounds or 5 billion?

I think those robes, the crown, the Sceptre, they were all the Crown’s stuff - aka the Firm, the organization that is the English monarchy - and not his. They existed before him, they will exist after him, and his wearing them lays little claim of ownership past “work clothes” than a pilot can claim to own the plane he’s flying.

The Sovereign runs the Firm and so could sell the trappings of royalty.

if the Crown’s representative sells the work clothes he’s issued, who’s buying it? That guy, those people buying them, they’ve truly amassed a personal fortune to be able to buy something like that. It’s not work for them; it’s obscene decadence and greed.

THOSE are your villains.

Those are also our villains. It’s not an either-or. The capitalist class and the vestigial feudal class run the United Kingdom, at the expense of the working class.

Taxation is how we get them to pay their share from here on in, like we did in the '40s through the '70s.

The capitalist class & nobility gave the working class temporary concessions out of fear of revolution, and they have since clawed those concessions back. They’re not going to pay more taxes without a threat, never mind relinquish power.
