I missed the joke too, I thought the joke was that 98F temperatures were hot enough to kill the average Brit

I didn’t know the PS2 had a keyboard

Finger maiden? I hardly know her maiden!

I imagine it’s mostly just to keep out the poors

Look at the instances they’re posting from, .world is full of libs

Sex and beer

All occupiers are legitimate targets

Using words like “Abnormal”, “Weird”, or “An Aberration” don’t really have the same connotations as “From another planet.” It’s not a negative thing. More often I’ve seen it used in a positive way, like when someone does something good that most people wouldn’t.

The United States of America is a bourgeois dictatorship, not a democracy. The only important election of our lives will be the first one after the Workers take control.

I plan on voting Claudia and Karina 2024 and I recommend that others do the same.

China bad, updoots to the left

Couldn’t you have left this braindead bullshit on Reddit?

I know this is a bit account (nothing against you btw I think the bit is great) but honestly this is 100% correct.

Lemmy was nice when it was just FOSS enthusiasts trying to build a better social media. Now new people have joined who are using it for its intended purpose, instead of just trying to roll a snowball.

All of those FOSS enthusiasts have the same horrible opinions and attitudes that everyone else does, once you get them talking about something actually important and contentious rather than their treats and toys.

I think it’s just a growing pain of the contradictions of Federation resolving themselves, mostly in the political sphere.

You have left-wing instances (lemmygrad.ml), center-right instances (lemmy.world), and right-wing instances (sh.itjust.works). Even if different instances defederate with each other, there will always be overlap instances (lemmy.ml being the biggest, but also lemm.ee, startrek.website, mander.xyz, programming.dev, etc.). And while individual users can block specific instances, this doesn’t prevent them from seeing and responding to their posts. Communists and Liberals and Libertarians, who each believe the others are literally as bad as the Nazis (and I’m not making a value judgement here - maybe some of them are right), are forced to interact with each other on occasionally political topics.

The hard right, unlike in Reddit, isn’t really a figure here - and moderators on Lemmy don’t know how to handle political disagreements where both sides are within the sphere of acceptable discourse.

So long as the West does not intervene, this is the beginning of Afghanistan’s slow transition into a functioning industrial state.

Industrialism is the first step towards Socialism, and is vastly preferable to medievalism. This is good for both the people and government of Afghanistan and it’s good for both the people and government of China. The only people who lose are the West.

I was part of the PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation, a Marxist-Leninist political party in the U.S.) delegation to a local area coalition-building meeting w/ several other Left-wing orgs (DSA, SRA, CPUSA, IWW, + a couple others too unimportant to remember).

Only a few minutes into the meeting while discussing future additions to the coalition, one of the SRA guys said “Anyone but tankies”. I honestly burst out laughing. We’re the tankies! We’re already in your coalition! Ffs.

This is very sad - the DPRK and it’s government have made every good-faith attempt to pursue reunification and reconciliation but the occupation government, controlled by Capitalist interests, has never stopped its aggression towards the North or considered reunification through any means but subjugation seriously.

Any American ship within firing distance of Yemen deserves to be bombed. They could simply leave yet choose not to.

The “No Fly Zone is a declaration of war” truism only works when you’re declaring one over another nation’s sovereign territory. Oman has every right to determine what military aircraft can enter their airspace, and if another country’s military violates that airspace, they will have declared war, not Oman.

Who cares if it’s “Legal” or not under U.S. law?

Uber has also never turned a profit. Share prices aren’t based on the value of the company, they’re based on how much people think the company will be worth in the future

Oh my god I didn’t know DroneRights did their bit outside of Hexbear lmao.

The only thing that drove me more crazy than the “I identify as an attack helicopter” level humor was the fact that the average Hexbearer was credulous enough to entertain it.
