Public high school students are occupying Chicago City Hall chanting “Biden Biden you can’t hide, you’re supporting genocide!”

Comparing the lemmy.ml and lemmy.world front pages right now is sort of terrifying.

lemmy.ml:

1. AfD plans to turn Germany into authoritarian state, vice-chancellor warns

2. US forces strike Houthi sites in Yemen as Biden says allied action hasn't yet stopped ship attacks

3. North Korea training, providing weapons to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis

4. Britain has flown 50 spy missions over Gaza in support of Israel

5. Infertility: Chemical substances omnipresent in everyday life are among the causes

Reasonable enough, right? Now compare it to lemmy.world:

1. Washington to Israel: Turn the lights back on in Gaza

2. NATO admiral warns of potential all-out war with Russia

3. Netanyahu Says 'From the River to the Sea,' a Phrase Zionists Claim is Genocidal

4. Putin could attack NATO in '5 to 8 years,' German defense minister warns

5. Poland is 'Next' After Russia Wins Ukraine War, Putin Ally Says

THREE OUT OF FIVE ARTICLES are just blatant warmongering trying to manifest a future Russia-NATO war. And this is a community that is supposed to be less extreme than Reddit's group of bloodthirsty clowns.

The US is increasing it's primary energy production from fossil fuel sources (by 40% since 2010) and they're decreasing total emissions? Sure...

How would you do HVDC to Japan? Underwater lines?

Space shuttles are also obscenely expensive

Wok, vegetable cleaver, bidet. The world is your oyster.

The evidence for that claim was more from statements made by IDF officials and soldiers IIRC

But but but
