Especially when you take into account that he’s currently dealing with accusations of fixing his books for preferential bank and insurance treatment.

This. Cryptofascism relies on being able to scream, “It was just a joke / I didn’t know!”
Mistakes can happen and you might accidentally engage in a dog whistle as a normal person.
A dozen mistakes all pointing to the exact same thing are unlikely.
And to be fair, it could be one person at the top putting all these wink wink indicators in, and the majority involved might just be normal folks.
I still won’t be buying the game.
Hello from kbin. It’s nice over here.
It’s not hard.
Cousin # = # of generations back to your shared direct ancestor - 1.
So if you share a grandparent (2 generations away), you’re 1st cousins.
So if your parent is first cousins with someone, you’re first cousins once removed. You’re second cousins to their kids. You’re second cousins once removed to their children.
It’s usually bags of money and pallets of equipment that go “missing” and find a new home with a warlord.
Again, what good would this do if you are in a war torn country that cannot secure its elections?
So they amend their constitution. During a war. To force people into the streets to vote.
How does the government make sure the election is fair? Some people won’t be able to vote due to danger. Some will be attacked. Some areas are occupied, and the occupation lines may change during the election.
If they tried to run an election now, Russia would publish their own results showing that the occupied areas voted for Putin. Trying to run elections is hard enough in normal times, doing so with Russia literally holding a large swath of your country is impossible.
This. Pretty much every company that does business with the US or a US state has clauses in their contract about “boycotting” Israel, poorly defined on purpose.
Propaganda, nationalism, and fear of what regressive shitheads will do if you vocalize any opposition
Jail or the front lines.
This seems to mean they blame the government for lack of “security” before the attack, which could mean they just want more apartheid.
And “must resign after the war” is way different than “must resign.” Any leader, but especially an authoritarian, would read this and say “Guess I should never end the war, then.”

Not really. He’s the “first among equals” as the bishop of Rome. While this translates into a lot of power, he can’t actually just make pronouncements.
Doctrine and catechism take decades to change and catch up, and any pope is largely along for that ride. This pope is using his social influence as much as possible to increase acceptance, which is why I appreciate him.
Much more than this and he will likely be assassinated. It’s not super uncommon historically, and often because a pope did things a strong faction within the cardinals/bishops didn’t like.
The whole church can fuck off. But this pope is alright. This is in response to some cardinals asking him to reaffirm the church’s stance on gay people. If this is what he chose to do instead, I hope he needs it up.
The controversy comes days after it emerged that education officials had sent a threatening letter to the parents of a boy who had complained of being bullied by classmates for months, saying their public statements complaining about the bullying were “unacceptable” and urged them to adopt a “constructive” attitude.
The boy, identified as Nicolas, 15, later killed himself on 5 September in a Paris suburb, one day after pupils went back to school after the summer break.
Oh, got it. So they fucked up real bad and are now trying make this about the police response so no one will question why they helped a bully kill his target.
Exactly. You can’t act like classrooms should be sacrosanct while simultaneously harassing other students. Makes no sense on its face.
Further, how likely is it that the harassment is only after school hours? If you can talk shit during the school day, you can take the consequences during the school day.
Which may be why they are reserving the weapons for themselves.
Could be other factions trying to isolate Putin.
Russia has begun all of its recent invasions by claiming it is stepping in to protect ethnic Russians from persecution.
They actively don’t care unless it impacts their pilgrimage directly.
They want Jesus to come back, and they think one part of that is that Jews control the holy land.
They are actively harming the world because they truly believe that 1) humans cannot destroy God’s creation, so 2) if we get close he’ll have to step in and end the world and take them to the heaven that they refused to build here.
