ITT: People who know nothing about the demographics of Israel or the history of Russia providing Palestine with aid.

Crack a book ya’ll

An FSB time traveler going into the past several decades to start kicking Palestinians out of their homes and restricting their general access.

Whoa dude Russia could be behind ALL CRIME EVER IN HISTORY

Got any more big brain takes to share?

It’s a myth that capitalism alone has lifted people out of poverty. In fact, many nations have fought to implement strong social policies just to try and shield their citizens from its excesses. For every claim of progress, there are countless tales of exploitation, dispossession, and environmental ruin. Saying no system is perfect trivialises the issue. With capitalism, the true cost is often hidden behind the glittering façade of consumerism, at the expense of human dignity, ethics, and our planet’s health.

Who decides what is, or receives the label of, misinformation?

I got key-logged by an abusive parent when I was 14. If that doesn’t make you take digital privacy and security seriously, nothing else will.

Sounds like someone’s previous policies led to a brain drain in their business and now he’s hoping other employers will blindly follow this rhetoric (and shoot themselves in the foot) so he can poach their employees for his company gain.

I’m fine with billionaires eating each other so we don’t have to.

How would the richest sovereign wealth fund in the world pulling out their investments from Russia bring about living in the freezing cold?

It isn’t as if Norway’s fund haven’t already said they would divest. It’s just that they haven’t taken any concrete action on what they promised for more than a year.

Why?

Again: The Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund still have active investments in Russia.

Where is the outrage for them?

According to this Norwegian publication in an article published January 31st 2023:

the Norwegian oil fund still holds hundreds of millions worth of shares in petroleum companies like Gazprom, Novatek, Bashneft and Lukoil

Even if the value of their investments lower, they still haven’t pulled out any from Russia. The investments could be worth very little, but they still have something invested in Russia.

Norwegian Government on February 28, 2022, ordered the Oil Fund to freeze all investments in Russia and prepare a plan for divesting with the goal of totally exiting the Russian stock market

What’s stopping them?

You know what works every time for me against any telemarketer or tele-scammer?

“Excuse me: are you aware that this is a business line?”

Repeat as necessary with appropriate outrage. They always hang up first.

Is money more important to Norway than justice?

Norwegian Government on February 28, 2022, ordered the Oil Fund to freeze all investments in Russia and prepare a plan for divesting with the goal of totally exiting the Russian stock market

Why has it taken them much more than a year to even communicate their ‘plan’ to make the divestment happen?

Is Domino’s Pizza really better at handling their finances than the wealthiest pension fund in the world?

If Domino’s Pizza can end their presence in Russia, when will the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund?

Didn’t they promise to pull out their 51 investments by February 2022?

You’ve never seen another human refuse to address a problem affecting them (and others) because the solution could affect their current levels of comfort and habit?
