You’re very blatantly underestimating the extent of European racism just because it shows itself less towards black people specifically.

1·55 minutes agoAs someone with severe adhd, I will absolutely maintain that it’s a mindset issue. I don’t think it makes it harder to derive pleasure from a job well done. I think it disrupts the ability to connect that feedback to doing that task in a way that changes the amount of effort to do that task again in the future

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Could a Democrat controlled Senate change the filibuster rules and set the minimum quorum to 50 votes?
1·1 day agoBeing able to block legislation by being 41% is NOT the same as being able to control the other 60%. There’s certainly a point where that becomes an issue but I don’t think 40% is it. The far bigger problem in the Senate is how a senator from a population of 500,000 has the same power as one from California

19·2 days agoThe second is that it only includes atate actions meant to take territory in an official capacity, while many imperialist actions have been carried out under the auspices of private companies like Haliburton, Dole, the United Fruit Company, and the Dutch East India Company.
For the record, my stated definition does not limit it. When “especially” is used in definitions, it’s not stated as a limiter but rather to show it primarily applies to as such.
which is neither unprovoked nor being done to expand Russian territory
This is a fundamental disagreement. Especially in regards to saying it’s not to expand their territory as a goal.
One interesting thing I find with lemmy. Is equating ownership existing with capitalism. Presumably because that’s how it’s portrayed in communist literature.

especially by a country and especially unprovoked.
Economically or militarily.
D-day wouldn’t be included because the goal wasn’t expansion. Though I would be very surprised if the usa and Europe hadn’t perpetrated many acts that should be included during the full course of the war.
And of course you can get into the argument of cultural imperialism as well
