It doesn’t necessarily mean " no moderation " but rather decentralized and de corporatised, you know, like here on Lemmy

Good journalism. I particularly liked Blumenthal’s recent piece in remembrance of the late Michael Parenti.

I remember back in the day when I was on the genzedobg subreddit, this was my favourite bot copypasta on there. When are we getting those here on lemmygrad?

The Epstein story is peanuts compared to WAR WITH IRAN. if anything the Epstein is the actual distraction too literal war and imperialism, you know the thing that could kill millions of people.

Even then I don’t think they’d do it. At most they’ll do retaliatory strikes on that one airbase in Qatar, and on some military infrastructure in Israel at most. They have always opted for this option because it’s less escalatory then directly attacking the US.

Practically 0. I don’t think Iran is ever going to risk taking such action because they’re trying to avoid any possible situation that paints them as acting illegally or aggressively. Striking a US vessel directly is pretty much guaranteeing a NATO invasion of their country.

There’s hardly anyone there. It’s not hard to brainwash what amounts to 6 villages with a thousand people each. And that’s only slightly hyperbolic.

I have unfortunately not met any Iranian person who isn’t a bizarre monarchist and anti Islamic republic conspiracy theorist ( who believe that the west orchestrated the Ayatollah coming to power somehow).

It’s as if the entire diaspora is brainwashed.

Happy birthday comrade

Fast track NATO membership for Denmark and implement a no fly zone.

Wait…

Game of Thrones season 1 released 7 months before Skyrim

I can’t say, first im hearing of it

A recurring villain we had for a long time was Wisconom, an unhinged ultraleft who kept evading bans but getting caught and re banned every time. led to the mods running a cheeky manhunt game where they made their own secret alt account and challenged us to identify it, to prove how easy it is to actually run a secret account, which Wisconom never could.

Half a point? This is completely the point! Overwhelmingly the reaction to these two events shows how backward and (frustratingly) indifferent the people of the US have become. As a socialist I don’t need to couch my utter disappointment with “well some of them are genuine” to make American comrades feel better. The hard truth is that there is work to be done, and nobody has more of a job to do than the western left in order to fix it.

He’s completely on the money this time and I don’t understand why it’s controversial. The level of outage over this has completely exposed how little the US “left” cares about the lives of non Americans. Even when it’s the same regime carrying out both actions, this one completely overshadowed the news and discussion while scores of innocent people in Venezuela were killed within goldfish memory. He’s making a remark about the lack of empathy they have for the third world, not condemning them for caring about this incident. Ideological consistency should be something every real leftist follows, and if you see all human lives as equal you would have been a hundred times more aggressive and outraged over Venezuela than what many of these people clearly have shown themselves to be.

This is the next phase for an empire declining in it’s rate of profit. The only way for continued growth for the existing model is an economy of conquest, which is why they’re committing to spending 1.5 trillion dollars on the military. It’s only going to worsen.

The AI they’ve used is kind of sus, as all the women are elderly and not conventionally attractive, while the men are all young, shirtless, sweaty, and look like models.

Wtf was it used for before this?

Not great, dear American comrade. It’s been a while since I’ve been so full of anger and helplessness towards the imperialist regime, it’s hard to keep in mind that not all of the people in the core are evil.

There’s technically more legal justification for the US to invade the Netherlands than for Russia to. “Invasion of the Hague” act and all.

Guilt by association, cruel
