Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The Soviet Union's illegal dissolution was the largest political setback for humanity in modern human history

Embarking on a fitness journey mirrors the resilience seen in pivotal historical moments – a cosmic odyssey through personal revolutions, with each workout as a chapter in your own epic tale.

The closer you get to US interests, the more your country gets sold out to insurance companies and ore taxpayer money starts going into Americas war machine

See in Australia: The gutting of Medicare and AUKUS

Have fun experiencing SA from US soldiers and having your cuck government do nothing about it

Hungary finally lets Sweden into the military alliance, dealing a blow to Russia.

Hungary finally lets Sweden into the military alliance, dealing a blow to ~~Russia~~ Swedish sovereignty.

Mark Ames and a guest from the episode about Serbia pointed out how Sweden has tons of votes where they have the citizens directly vote on questions of policy, but isn't it curious how there was no vote taken on joining NATO? Curious.....

[–] Kaplya@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Only two NATO member states had held a referendum on joining NATO: Hungary and Slovenia. The rest did without asking.

In Finland, the results of one poll done at the height of hysteria right after Russia invaded Ukraine was enough for the government to say that the people want to join NATO.

[–] sawne128@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Is it possible that your are confusing Sweden with Switzerland? Sweden has held six referendums ever, all non binding, but you are right that this was done undemocratically. I remember in 2022 when the Socdem government was scrambling to join NATO before the election.

[–] FiendishFriend@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago

Why are you listening to Mark Ames after what he's been telling you about the Ukraine Crisis for the past two years? Serious question I don't mean to attack you. At this point, for me, it's to collect my moments of shocked disbelief that people recommended him to me.

Do you still hang on to his fantasies of Putler's incompetence and regurgitated disinformation telephone games? He uncritically repeats things NAFO twitter and Robert Lee say then acts superior because he can see through openly contradictory narratives.

Sweden, who would believe this. Sweden. They took in NATO. They're having problems like they never thought possible. a-little-trolling

New -cool flag just dropped.

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

okay as the last sizeable country left i think we can start making jokes about NATO being a bonapartist 'continental system' now and likening NATO-supporters to Napoleon during the invasion of Russia.

how crossed will libs brains get when the 'Napoleon French Revolution Bad brainworms has to bat Ruzzia Soviet Commie Bad brainworms ?

i mean we probably could've been making these comparisons for the past decade but it's just occuring to me now cuz Marechal Bernadotte's fetid seed is in charge of Sweden
