Not even sure if I saw any posts on buyfromEU. I just saw a picture somewhere with alternatives to various platforms, and it had Lemmy. I had been looking for an alternative to Reddit anyway, so thought I’d give it a shot. My first day here, I got banned from like three Reddit subs and got multiple content takedowns and warnings for up voting Luigi adjacent comments/posts. At that point I was done. Deleted my account yesterday.
I just scroll through the main All feed. Seems like a cool place so far. I’m using the Photon UI because I like how it looks on PC.
My venting wasn’t about Philippines. If you hate them that much, go complain somewhere else.
I was clearly defending the actions of the Philippines.
Back on topic, reading the other comments, it’s looking more and more like a rival dictator got him done in. So this really ain’t about courage, it looks more and more like getting rid of the competition.
The International Criminal Court does not operate on the orders of world leaders. So no, a rival dictator did not get an ICC warrant issued for Duterte. Maybe don’t get your information from the comments section.
Do you think the Philippine police should go to Russia and Israel to arrest Putin and Netantahu?
I don’t understand what your complaint here is. It’s up to the individual countries to enforce ICC arrest warrants. The Philippines chose to enforce it. That’s a good thing. If your complaint is that other countries don’t enforce it, then you should take that up with those countries, instead of crapping all over the Philippines for doing what those other countries don’t have the courage to do.
Serendipity in my feed.

Exactly. I would like to see what he has to offer on his own terms. Maybe I’ll support him, maybe not. But it was obvious through the entire campaign that he was holding back. The one thing he did that got the most traction in the campaign was calling Republicans “weird”, and he was told by Dem leadership to stop doing that.
It’s really hard to decide if Dems are just that incredibly incompetent, or if they are actual controlled opposition. I think it might be a combination of the two.
In this analogy, the Republicans are the shooter. Not sure how you can draw the conclusion that anyone is blaming the Dems there.
I’ll be the first to call out people for solely blaming the Dems when that’s the case. I’ve been banned from so many Reddit subs for that very thing, which is how I ended up here at Lemmy in the first place. But that’s just not the case here. What this image is saying is that the fault of the action (the shooting) lies with the Republicans, and the Democrats (the Uvalde cops) are too cowardly to do anything to stop it. It’s a pretty damn accurate description of American politics.
