You sound like a Trump supporter. Did you even read the article?

This post is just the title of the article and the first 3 paragraphs. How could OP sound like a Trump supporter when you haven’t even read a single word of OP’s own opinion in this thread? Obviously Trump is terrible, the article goes on to cover that.

Thanks for the info. As an American, even using open source software, I just assume my whole shit is compromised. I have stopped hiding my tracks and recently begun being very vocal about my positions both at home and abroad. I have turned off VPNs and I have welcomed them to my home with the caveat that I will make Ruby Ridge look like a trust worthy day care center.

I respect the need for privacy. I demand it for myself and my children. But I know that I don’t have it and that the only way I will ever get it again is talked about in this video. I speak in ‘code’ kind of. Not because i want to be alluring. But, because I have learned to when facing the algorithms on the front I am used to.

Not if your instance doesn’t embed it. And if it does embed it, that’s still loading YouTube. As soon as the embed is loaded Google can spy on you as if you clicked the link.

China is not dominating and plundering Taiwan.

Really all that needs to be said. Imperialism is easy to recognize, because the enforcement is obvious. There’s an international organization headquartered in DC whose business it is to tell countries they’re not allowed to have welfare, and it’s not the Bank of China^[1]. There’s a spy agency that overthrows governments all over the world when they don’t comply with its government’s desires, and it’s not the Ministry of State Security^[2]. There’s a military that has hundreds of bases all around the world and has been in an almost continuous string of wars of aggression for decades, and it’s not the PLA^[3].

Imperialism is actually when you are the victim of imperialism, checkmate tankies. The real imperialists are the country that avoids projecting power outside their own border and hasn’t gone to war since the 80s, not the one with hundred of military bases around the world that they use to violently enforce their global hegemony.

Imperialism is when you have a civil war.

Liberals always think “imperialism” is when you say things about places you don’t directly rule. I am begging you to learn about unequal exchange and foreign interference. Imperialism is a process of incredible violence where labor and resources are extracted, finished products are sold back at a high price, and governments who resist are interfered with. Imperialism is enforced by organizations such as the IMF, CIA, and US Military.

If China were like American imperialists, Taiwan would have been reduced to rubble long ago. A better example of imperialism would be the attempt America has been discussing to steal Taiwan’s semiconductor manufacturing industry.

Was this not known in negotiations? I can guess but I’d prefer to ask.

It was, and it was made clear to all parties. It was highlighted by the Resistance and by Trump, both during and after negotiations. All parties have publicly acknowledged this multiple times, this is just the “Israelis” inventing a pretext.

Don’t you mean Johnson?

NEVER TRUST A BORIS.

Yes, I did, thank you. I mixed up my evil Borises. Fixed.

IMO that’s probably true of a lot of westerners who don’t claim to be anarchists too. Still, I can’t imagine the admins of that instance are OK with “if your have ‘authoritarian’ leaders then 27 million of you deserve to be killed by nazis”. It’s such a blatantly genocidal thing to say in service of “trolling” people on the internet.

What’s the game here? The US could give the Ukrainians all of their weapons and they could still never hope to match the Russians. How does any party involved expect people to actually believe they believe this will lead to peace? It’s just obvious warmongering for profit.

You don’t need to force the Russians to negotiate, they’re not the ones that scuttle every round of negotiations. Maybe get a time machine and tell Zelensky not to trust Boris Johnson. Or go back further and replace all the European leadership with people who don’t openly treat the Minsk accords as a delaying tactic.

The Administrator has spoken.

On a related note, I think it’s really easy to lose sight of that online, but it makes better communities when we can all make space for people to change.

@Alaskaball@hexbear.net do you think that, in light of this post, OP’s ban could be reversed or turned into a temporary ban to possibly allow her to engage in good faith with our community in the future? She could always be banned again if this behavior repeats.

It’s not the end of the world, but you can do harm to yourself with this kind of stuff online. We’ve probably all been there.

Seriously, this is deeply shameful. I can’t imagine that that community (anarchist nexus) would actually tolerate this kind of rhetoric.

lmao

Fair enough. I think you’re right that she’s somewhat avoiding responsibility in the post body, but she’s a young person who’s clearly embarrassed about an online outburst, and the apology was made immediately without much time for self-reflection. Therefore I think it’s forgivable.

She seems to have realized the outburst was a mistake, and seems to want to take a break and reflect, which is good. Also, the person who fed her the WW2 line commented in this thread and came off like a borderline cryptofascist, so I do put a lot of the responsibility for the worst of the comments onto him. I’d rather give some grace to the person who showed regret and didn’t intentionally post Nazi stuff.

@Alaskaball@hexbear.net Another tagline!

Something tells me that this hitlerite peace of shit wouldn’t extend this smear to British, French, or American war dead.

Lack of object permanence means he can only remember the last non-aggression pact signed with the Nazis. Since those were signed first they couldn’t fit in his memory.
