I think it’s much easier to discover new content on Lemmy.

Pretty sure that anti-anti-fascism is just straight-up a Nazi trope.

How is it remotely sane to give support to any candidate who backs an ongoing genocide? It’s only sane to do so if you’re apathetic to the said victims of genocide and know that their ghosts won’t affect you after they’ve been murdered by the politicians you’ve elected.

If there are 2 buttons, and both will result in the commission of Genocide, you don’t press either button. This is why this meme wouldn’t work in its usual context if the buttons said that.

Any voter or potential voter who has moral principles and values should withhold support for any candidate who supports or enables the most serious crime known to humanity.

If a political opponent of Adolf Hitler was vying for election in Germany in 1932 or 1933, and that political opponent also had the same views towards Jews and/or other ethnic, racial, religious and national groups as Adolf Hitler, with the same intention to commit and use the power of their office to facilitate genocide against those groups as the NSDAP has, you don’t vote for that other candidate, even if they maintain free elections within a fascist Germany. On principle, every person has a moral responsibility not to support, nor facilitate the crime of Genocide. A true democracy allows for true political expression of the population and doesn’t force its electorate to back a Genocide.

I hope I’m not being OTT or patronizing. When talking about an ongoing Genocide against a group it’s off to reduce the (unfortunately) political issue of Genocide prevention to the less serious language used in US domestic politics. And there ought not to be a reason why Palestine is less important than Ukraine or Russian influence in Europe. I mean Palestine is fucked right now and has been since 1948. Why would European people let Palestine be fucked for decades since it doesn’t affect Europe but care about Ukraine since it does? I dunno such a shit situation.

You can buy paprika at Tescos but British food is still shit.

Maybe the end solution is a distributed system

I think this already exists and is called PeerTube. In my experience it doesn’t work very well.

I remember when apple put out a software update to intentionally throttle the phone’s processor, to save charge on it’s irreplacable battery. I hope this prevents companies doing this sort of shit as well.

Wow, I sure am glad that the kerb is there to protect those blades of grass!

Based.

THE TOES!!!

I generally don’t care about people mocking heads of state but saying Xi Xinping is either Hitler or Winnie the Pooh is offensive.

Great. Now people are going to read up a bunch of bs generated by a language model and confidently spread around “hallucinations” as facts.

Did you mean to write a blank comment?

Thanks for posting the link. I know that footage from other conflicts from different times are often circulated inappropriately and are used for misinformation. You’re correct in saying that I don’t know for certain whether or not any particular source is genuine.

I am from Lemmygrad, and had not seen this exact response from China, however I don’t necessarily need to agree with everything the Chinese government says. In 1979 they didn’t like calling their own invasion of Vietnam an invasion, instead opting in favour of the term “the self-defensive counterattack against Vietnam”.

I found a link to a similar article except it’s from an Indian media outlet and you don’t need to register an account to read the whole thing. Leaving this in case anyone is interested.

Was unfortunately expecting this given the judge’s refusal to allow Kyle Rittenhouse’s online statement that he’d like to murder protesters with his assault rifle as evidence that he wanted to murder protesters with his assault rifle.

I only watched parts of a couple of days given how depressing the trial was. But I’d agree with most of the people saying the prosecution made mistakes. He crossed legal lines (allegedly commenting on the defendant’s silence) and brought up the video game stuff after the trial was heading down this direction. And the judge did everything he could to humiliate him. But at other times I believe he was on point.

I believe typical Americans are just too far gone to cause this to be a major motivator for substantive legal and judicial change. They don’t see a problem with gunning people down with assault rifles.

I’m more hopeful that Ahmaud Arbery’s killers will see some form of justice. This trial was a fuck up.

Apart from Nazis.

Fuck off.
