For a better lemmy experience, remember to block lemmy.ml , lemmygrad, and hexbear.net . On mbin, use URL spec /d/<domain_name> and block. Or since that doesn’t seem to work, just block their communities whenever they pop-up.
Moved on to the better fediverse platform, mbin, avoid lemmy instances: https://github.com/jointhefediverse-net/jointhefediverse.net/blob/main/README.md (scroll to bottom)
The fact is, banning X is free political points. The moment a country does it, it will domino into other countries doing it as well, and they will be seen as having been the leader and first of the movement. They should make sure users know of the federated alternatives before they do so, though.
It can, it just isn’t going to be as good. Fortunately for the EU, most of that intelligence was only useful for soft power covert diplomacy, which Trump has thrown into the garbage.
When you say Russia is more of a democracy than the US, I think that’s more of having no standards than playing semantics. They are both oligarchies, and you are basically living up to the lack of standards that is your namesake, the mockery of geneva conventions. ml users be ml users.
Every accusation is an admission, all the ruckus about Hunter Biden and Ukraine now turned into crickets.
“Turns out we didn’t even need to invade Taiwan LOL”, but in Chinese
Except one does not contradict the other. The United States has supported democracy, it’s just that that support is razor thin.
Sounds like you are on crack, and happy about it.
For the modlog, the comment is made by a user named crackhappy. Also, hi, downvote brigade.
School taught me that writers and artists had pen names for a reason, and reality has persistently shown that nothing has changed in that regard. If anything, it has become even more of a prerequisite.
That’s what reddit is now, a place for people to vent, and have them cattled up if they become too much of a nuisance.
I suddenly have an urge to upvote banned content. Talk about being insecure. That post was soon followed up by another of the “we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong” sort.
Ah, yes, their new thoughtcrimes initiative. Would be far more ok with this if there was any sort of transparency on reddit. At the very least, it would make it clear what it is they are trying to suppress. It’s still funny to me how many people here seem to hate transparency.
If Brother starts playing that game, they will lose. Why bother buying their considerably more expensive printers over those of HP if they are going to be just as bad in the third party ink department?
I mean, it can. US projects a lot of its influence from its technology dominance, but AI has the potential of turning that mountain of an advantage into a molehill, and the thing about AI that investors don’t want to admit is that it reaches a performance ceiling, so investing more into it might be good for the short term, not so good for the long-term. Unfortunately, it’s still going to savage through salaries and job availability - but this also affects the biggest economies more than it does the lesser ones. Crypto, AI, tech is at least helping the technological Silicon Valley hegemony shoot itself in the foot.
Just in case people didn’t know they were heading into a personality cult dictatorship already.
I mean, you are right, OP is only concerned about criticizing one imperialism power while downvoting anything that stands with Ukraine or criticizes Russia (how is OP coping with Putin literally praising the current US administration, I wonder), but this political cartoon isn’t wrong. It’s just missing the second page, where Zelenski gave them the finger while keeping the rare Earth minerals for the people fighting the aggressor.
Which is why they are such pals with Russian imperialism, who are also going after the same thing. Which is why Russia will still continue to attack Ukraine even after their NATO excuse has been disbanded.
Kill one rich guy - complete and utter censorship.
Be a rich guy who is a twice impeached convicted felon presidential traitor making decisions resulting in casualties over the thousands - whoah, now, wouldn’t want their feelings to be hurt!
State of the world in a nutshell.
