@maximumwelfare There's a weird sleight of hand suggesting publicly run employment services would actually exist to help people get work - the waste of money is having an army of people dedicated to punishing the unemployed, I don't care whether those are public or private, they should be gone
@rakalipal Considering that the Hebrew revival was as much an effort to destroy any unhelpful national identities by stigmatising their native languages as it was creating a new one I'd say it is actually as impressive as the fact most Irish people do not speak Irish.
@kroketrendang@tismnationalist Almost none. A small number (pre-partition) were Sephardim who natively spoke Arabic and tried to encourage learning it and were completely ignored by the overwhelmingly European members of the Yishuv, who were the ones allocating the wealth, land, and jobs.
@HateKillEIon@j70808 Labour struggles are necessary for raising class consciousness, which is the essential foundation for political education. In simple terms, it's a hell of a lot easier to help somebody learn their boss is their enemy and then connect that to agents of the state than the other way
@duggee6@Brocklesnitch she doesn't seem happy though? she just seems surprised and confused. she'd probably be more happy looking at real photos or talking about real memories, but then that wouldn't be "content"

ABC is putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. "The initial choice to suspend was made in an emotional moment. With time to reflect more carefully on the situation, we now believe Charlie Kirk deserved death", explains the Walt Disney Company.
@CindyCalysm Yeah our diplomats are part of the government, employed and directed by politicians. If they attempted to expose crimes their bosses remain either wilfully ignorant or indifferent to I'd wager they'd be recalled by Wong faster than they could be kicked out by Israel
An atheist professor was teaching a class. He claimed that if god was real, he could stop the professor from breaking some chalk. A marine stood up and ate the chalk. The professor was shocked. The marine took out some of his own chalk and ate it.
"I like chalk" said the marine
@Phase667@tomorrowsashes@DJ_AlphaT Union density declined during the accords significantly faster than it would have solely from de-industrialisation, and the framework they established is still effectively the one controlling and restraining industrial action today.
timeline is lit up w israel defenders finally speaking up about a hospital being bombed, after spending the last 20 months defending the bombing of every hospital in gaza.
