They’re both so far beyond redemption

I have on numerous occasions considered ordering bike route signage to place up on bike safe routes. The city has official signs for it but puts basically none up. If I could just order a lot more to put up it could encourage more folks to join.

The ram kit I bought sometime last year for 140 is now nearly 1000. If I wasn’t constantly using it I’d sell ot

Local vs amazon are not the only 2 options. And let me be very clear. I am not simply saying “Buy local”. Conflating that with ethical shopping is wrong.

“only” is the keyword in the title. Also, no, most utilities are pay for how much you use, not subscription models.

Osu

People have no morals. Most people only care about the cheapest price, and after that getting the best item for the cheapest price

Do you say that after running a stop sign in a school zone and killing a child?

Companies/creatives/collectives need a way to show what they have to offer so it gets out there. Ads are far and away out of control, but their abolishment has it’s own problems (and people will advertise anyways, just stealth like they already are)

Yeah, like pretending genociding Ukrainianes is because of nato

The second is that it only includes atate actions meant to take territory in an official capacity, while many imperialist actions have been carried out under the auspices of private companies like Haliburton, Dole, the United Fruit Company, and the Dutch East India Company.

For the record, my stated definition does not limit it. When “especially” is used in definitions, it’s not stated as a limiter but rather to show it primarily applies to as such.

which is neither unprovoked nor being done to expand Russian territory

This is a fundamental disagreement. Especially in regards to saying it’s not to expand their territory as a goal.

One interesting thing I find with lemmy. Is equating ownership existing with capitalism. Presumably because that’s how it’s portrayed in communist literature.

aggression with an expansionist agenda.

especially by a country and especially unprovoked.

Economically or militarily.

D-day wouldn’t be included because the goal wasn’t expansion. Though I would be very surprised if the usa and Europe hadn’t perpetrated many acts that should be included during the full course of the war.

And of course you can get into the argument of cultural imperialism as well

The Marxist definition is strictly different, not a clarification. The Marxist one posits only capitalism can be imperialist, something I would say is strictly incorrect

Marxist does not get to exclusively define what imperialism is. A more standard definition is far more reasonable to use. However, your comment is very informative to me, I’m glad you took the time to write this out

No goalposts have moved dude

Ok but the person above just denied that a square was a rectangle

Nato is not a risk to russia, and never has been. Nato is a defensive alliance. The only way they’re a risk is if russia plans to attack them first. Anyone suggesting that nato provoked it is on something

Invading for territory gain is absolutely synonymous with imperialistic tendencies

Russia isn’t imperialist

Why do you think they’re invading Ukraine. Sparkles and rainbows?

Pretty sure I’ve been temp banned from ml like a dozen times or something. Who knows the exact amount. They’re generous with bans but apparently a perm is rarer
