StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•The destruction of Palestine is breaking the worldEnglish10·7 days agoIt’s over, but not before you were soundly and mostly politely trounced. Grasping on their using “my dude” as justification to duck out is the lamest cope I’ve seen in years.
The issue here is there are no OSHA codes to cite. The hypothetical the other chap performed was for a different state that actually has heat regulations. Op is in New York, so the only thing covering their situation is the general duty clause which is tough to enforce due to it not citing anything specific.

StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Troops and marines deeply troubled by LA deployment: ‘Morale is not great’11·1 month agoI think the primary difference here is they know the population they’re oppressing so it’s difficult to wholly believe the propaganda.
When being imperialists abroad, they’re fed a steady stream of propaganda about how they’re the hero, that they’re saving democracy, babies, capitalism, and what not. Most of them don’t speak the language and have difficulty relating to the local population. Americans are notoriously ignorant of everything outside the US (fine, in the US too) and the locals they’re defrauding are understandably afraid and/or hostile, so many don’t learn otherwise or don’t want to accept otherwise. Imagine the blow to the psyche of switching gears from “great American saviour” to “brown kid murder machine to make rich people richer”. That’s tough.
Now the lies are much harder to believe. They speak the language, share the culture, and some are at least vaguely familiar with the events leading up to these protests. While 1/3 of the US population are utter numpties, the remaining 2/3 are at least likely redeemable and some of that larger fraction is likely present in the military. They know what they’re doing is wrong and don’t believe the propaganda telling them otherwise.
Now we’ll see if any have the courage to stand against this. I’m not holding my breath.

StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump Burger chain grows popular in Texas, controversial with critics81·1 month agoThe comments section, as expected from Fox News, is an utter disaster. One highlight is a “Trump philosopher” that has “deeply studied Trump’s policies and has found nothing any reasonable American should disagree with”.
StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Pro-Israel Figures Threaten to Kill Greta Thunberg Over Gaza Aid Mission - Quds News Network (2025-06-02)English81·1 month agoIt’s more that pretending certain groups are a monolith, or really pretending anything is something it’s not, to justify hate speech is banned. Sure, it’s easy to pretend that all Jews are Zionists (ergo all Jews are pro-genocide) but it’s demonstrably untrue and just lazy thinking.
