In 1922 he reorganized the Mojahideen and re-ignited the resistance against Italy after World War I when the [Fascists] thought that they succeeded in silencing the Libyan resistance. Omar Al-Mokhtar was ill [a] couple of times and many of his comrades asked him to retire and leave the country; he was [nearly] 80 years old. But he refused and kept fighting and he deserved a name given to him as “The Lion of the Desert.” On 16 September, 1931 the [Fascists] hanged Omar Al-Mokhtar in the city of Solouq and they forced the Libyans to watch their hero be hanged. [No consideration to Omar Al-Mokhtar's old age, no consideration to international law and no consideration to world war treaties.](https://web.archive.org/web/20191105000003/http://www.libyanet.com/omar001.htm)*’ > > ([Source.](https://archive.is/20121216130041/permai1.tripod.com/umar.html) Note that the ‘Mojahideen’ is not to be confused with the unrelated Afghan mujahideen.) > > As paraphrased in the dramatization [*Lion of the Desert*](https://yewtu.be/watch?v=4qhHpfHgyUU), to General Rodolfo Graziani: > > >‘*We will never surrender.

I believe this is the philosophy of liberalism. They say capitalism can be useful but the state must keep it in check. As long as government can ultimately keep the reins on capitalism and under control, you get the optimum prosperity and social welfare. China experienced great economic growth when it turned to economic liberalism.

I mean, you'd have to be evil to support the invasion, regardless of being a socialist or not.
I've officially created a geopolitical discussion group on Matrix. I would like to affiliate it with this Lemmy community.

I don't speak it, but given how popular it is, I imagine someone on Earth has already run into another speaker randomly in person.
If you're talking online, then yeah it happens all the time.

It's crap, I can tell you that. My cousin studies in Moscow and came back for the summer. He visited us today and he was telling us how he hates it there because the entire system is messed up. He also kept saying there isn't a more racist and Nazi country on Earth than Russia.

Russia is the real source of fascism. As I mentioned elsewhere, today I met with an old colleague who lives in Russia. He repeats any/all political propaganda he sees on TV. Somewhere in-between his going on and on about how Obama's administration is comprised of a bunch of homosexuals, he mentions at one point that the Ukrainian government is full of Nazis. Then the next thing he starts talking about right after that is that western civilization is coming to an end because whites are not reproducing enough and as a result are being replaced by non-whites in USA and Europe.
Really it was an intriguing though horrifying confusion of ideas, courtesy of Russia.

I live in Central Asia, and would prefer Russia to fuck off. If you live further East than me, or somewhere Russia has colonized, feel free to say so. So far everyone on this thread defending the good for nothing, shitty excuse for a state in Russia has proved that they do not live under it.
So I say to you as well: Go live there.

I wouldn't call China's stance towards Taiwan "respect". Even so, I don't have an opinion whether it's part of China or not. Perhaps only Taiwanese people are qualified to say.
I read in the news that Peter Bourgon was officially excommunicated from Go "community spaces". I'm curious if this community space, [!golang@lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/c/golang), plans to comply with the ban. I think it would be useful to identify and support spaces that will not carry it out.
If you want you can use this image for the Lemmy community as well. There is a site that makes these for all country flags, and i prefer this version because compared to "flat" flag images, it's got a little bit of shading to make it visually pleasing. The file size is also impressively small.
I recently started playing this game and wanted to introduce the community to some Valheim chats that could use members: Matrix: [#Valheim:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#Valheim:matrix.org?via=matrix.org) (yes it's case-specific) XMPP: [valheim@chat.disroot.org](xmpp:valheim@chat.disroot.org?join)
I have never heard of this, so I'm curious what it's about.
Mi rimarkis, ke lemmy jam estas tradukita al Esperanto. Ĉu ĉi tie ekzistas iu alia esperantisto?
