I’m sure all those dying people were a real threat.

I guess you learn from the best when you want to kill the rest…

The seven companies being sanctioned are Insitu Inc., Hudson Technologies Co., Saronic Technologies, Inc., Raytheon Canada, Raytheon Australia, Aerkomm Inc. and Oceaneering International Inc., the Foreign Ministry statement said. It said that “relevant senior executives” of the companies are also sanctioned, without naming any.

In other words, “we’ve already stolen all the intellectual property we need from them.”

That is not what I said.

If opposing the murder, rape, torture and genocide of an indigenous group of people makes me a bigot in your eyes

I don’t know why you are lying about me, but this is tantamount to trolling.

This is what I said:

Suggesting that Zelensky has dual loyalties because he’s Jewish is a bigoted thing to say.

I’m guessing the percentage is high.

And yet not 100% as you implied earlier. Which, again, was bigoted.

Are you going to respond to what I said or are you trolling?

I can’t think of a native English word that uses it. There are loan words that sometimes are spelled with it like übermensch, but even those are often spelled without it… but on the other hand, I have seen it used by the press in proper names.

I am not against this sort of thing happening organically. I just don’t like it in this specific case mainly because it’s a dictator making a demand and the press caving to it. If there were a popular independent movement by Turks around the English-speaking world to change the name, it would be different. But as far as I know, there is no such thing.

“Backtracks,” as if it were ever sincere. I guarantee you BP planned to spin that off the second it became possible to do so. How would any of that have helped them as companies? Of course all they really care about is fossil fuels.

The “quick and easy way,” for future reference, is NK.

And I remove “orcs” as well when I see it. Just because the country is run by horrible people is not a reason to use epithets that cover the entire country. That is simply bigotry and it’s not okay to be bigoted against Russians and North Koreans even if their leaders do horrific things.

Turns out soldiers that have never seen battle don’t do well against soldiers who have years of experience.

Well that’s very cool!

I only knew one thing about the Faroes before this: I used to talk to a guy on IRC from there and he was a colossal dick who thought he was the world’s expert on Vikings solely because he was from and lived on the Faroes.

So now I know something about the Faroes which makes me think maybe they’re not all dicks. Also, I kind of want them to extend the tunnel system to Iceland and Scotland. And then you could drive from Iceland to the edge of China.

Well there’s no question they did soil management and the early Europeans who were later ignored talked about orchards, so they definitely did some sort of organized farming, so I think maybe some of it was just forest, but a lot of it was also organized agriculture.

TIL. Thanks.

Good to know, thanks. They may find themselves suffering the same fate as Linkerbaan if they keep it up.

Whether or not you think you’re not antisemitic, what you said was bigoted.

When that country is ruled by a dictator? Because fuck him.

They certainly don’t try to do it in the nation’s native alphabet. Imagine if some country demanded that and for some reason half the world’s English-language media started only printing the country’s name that way…

Also, he insists people call it by the name they call it in Turkish and, despite that basically not being something honored in any other country as far as I know, a lot of the English language media went with it.

I’m not seeing them talk about Deutschland or Nippon, so I’m not sure why.

Your security was not an issue until you invaded Ukraine. You didn’t want NATO on your border (even though it already was there in Kaliningrad)? Now you have it.

No one was talking about Finland joining NATO until you invaded Ukraine. Ukraine itself wasn’t pursuing NATO membership until you invaded.

Palestinians are hated and killed by non-Jews too, because it’s not only Jews in the IDF and not only Jews are Israeli citizens.

So you are still making ‘Jew’ and ‘Israeli’ synonyms.

And some of us have been working very hard to make this war stop. People like you are not helping, bringing up Zelensky being Jewish as if that is relevant here. All you are doing is promoting the disgusting “dual loyalties” bigotry. I’ve faced it myself many times. Including on Lemmy. There are people here who are absolutely convinced I support Israel no matter what I say.

I think they said that to try to suggest that Zelensky has dual loyalties. Not something Jews are un-used to hearing.

The fun thing in my case is that I’m a U.S. citizen and, because my dad was British and I fit certain requirements, I just got my British citizenship. So I guess I have triple loyalties?

“Jew” and “Israeli” are not synonyms.
