Instagram reels and youtube shorts is structured in the same way (from what I can see superficially), though I dont use anything but Lemmy/YouTube. Though the common complaint I hear is that the algorithm is significantly worse on alternatives.
Not sure how this meaningfully changes anything other than forcing people to use another app that also violates their privacy.
Is it? I asked you ‘how so’. Can you provide me a concrete example of a ‘whataboutism’, what is he ignorant about? The reason I asked that is because the quotes he uses encapsulate what the video is about. Quoted from MLK and Malcolm X.
I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.

You’re throwing around fascism to describe supposedly describe Marxist Leninism which makes no sense. Calling far left movements fascist erases historic meaning from the word.
No seriously I can’t tell if you’re going to say Holodomor which is contentious amongst historians who specialize on the topic or the Uyghur ‘genocide’ that apparently no proof seems to ever materialize.
Hakim, JT, and Yugopnik aren’t by any means Stalinist, they’re realists who examine material conditions of the Soviet Union, then dispel propaganda and criticize the weaknesses in Soviet policy. Just because they aren’t reactionaries who dont challenge cold war propaganda doesn’t mean they uncritically idolize.
And what do you mean? Nazi policies of what? They are diametrically opposed on fiscal, social, and government structure. You cannot say it fits into ‘Nazi’ rhetoric without giving an example. I can’t engage with unfalsifiable claims.
What? Uyghurs have a rich and important culture, one that needs to be preserved and fostered. The CPC has clearly stated that the idea is to assimilate them to a Chinese national identity. It needs to be addressed and critique is warranted. You can even make an argument that an ethnic cleansing has and is occuring. You cannot, however, throw out accusations of genocide when there is no proof. Sorry, you need evidence for genocide. Or at the very least learn what a genocide is because you are clearly confused.
The fact you compare me to a Nazi is just disgusting. Do better.
MLism does not mean stalinism. Lenin is not Stalin. Lenin wrote works that influenced South American, Central American, Eastern Asian, and Pan-African movements that have overthrown fascist regimes. The fact that you lump together every Marxist Leninist together to Stalin, when the movement is diverse, global, and employed differently everywhere is ludicrous. Its the most black and white thinking imaginable. You have never read Lenin or looked into communist movements inspired by him if you lump all of ML into Stalin.
Political ideology is not stagnant and is does not exist in a bubble.
You compared me to a genocide denier, called me a Nazi, speak in riddles without engaging, and deflect every time you are asked a question. You genuinely disgust me now so I’m just going to ignore you at this point.
(All because JT renounces liberals, which is too much to bear for you.)
You can blame both of them for the disastrous response. Breaking the terms of the withdrawal, imposing sanctions and then drone striking civilians in Afghanistan before withdrawal were massive contributors. Culpability isn’t black and white.
The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack on Wednesday, which set the Greek-owned, Barbados-flagged ship True Confidence ablaze approximately 50 nautical miles (93km) off the coast of Yemen’s port of Aden....
They’re using their sovereign rights to blockade their waters. I don’t care about the demonization or the disruption of shipping. They’re putting themselves in the sights of the US out of sheer empathy. Which gives me hope.
They’ve killed two people out of quite a sizable number of attacks. Deeply unfortunate anyone died, but it speaks to the fact they’re trying to avoid civilian casualties. They have the courage to stand up to the US backed genocide of Gaza, because not long ago, they faced similar odds in the US backed, Saudi destruction of Yemen.
Civilians they told to turn back. Its a single ship not an entire landmass. They immobilized most ships and ceased fire. That’s not some kind of unrestrained bloodlust.
I mostly feel for the two developers who have the task of building a social media network for a wage that couldn’t buy you one developer. They’re overloaded with issues and project goals. You cannot go 10 minutes on the ‘fediverse’ without hearing how the developers are awful tankies while then demanding them to add features. Must be exhausting.
I agree its an important feature, I want the internet to have privacy in mind. But its really easy to overlook how much work they put in only to be met with such hostility. Everyone talks about ‘but let’s just fork it, that’s the beauty of open source’ when I guarantee you will not find devs with the same dedication or passion.
Hope that people can agree that wanting this feature is A-OK but that the people working on this project are just overworked people who deserve a bit more respect.
What’s controversial is the depiction of Palestinians as rapists and outlining a systemic, racial, or cultural issue of rape within Arab populations, then pointing to the few instances it does occur as proof for a racist point of view.
Both parties are guilty of rape and sexual assault. None of that is okay. However only one is being racially profiled as having an innate proclivity for rape.
You are ridiculous. First you spread misinformation about the ICJ ruling, bending what the ruling meant. Now you are trying to use a ‘no, you’ card to bend my words and pretend that there hasn’t been a racist campaign against Palestinians and Arabs for decades.
There were likely rapes that occurred on October 7th, and there have been rapes of Israeli detained Palestinian hostages as well. How can you not see that one is now being used as a racial justification for genocide while the other is ignored.
Non-Jewish Arabs in the basic laws of Israel do not have rights to self determination. Its a fucking apartheid state. Its like saying millions of native Africans lived in South Africa. These people only had a reason to attack because they live in an open air prison that mirrors a Warsaw ghetto with complete siege from their neighbor. A lot of the things they did was retaliation and a deep brewing anger. What the fuck were they supposed to do? March peacefully? Israel shot them by the thousands in 2018 when they tried to. where is your humanity?
That isn’t what I said. If you cut the middleman, you are informed nearly immediately. You can tell whether your government’s actions align with their words immediately. In many instances we learned of the lies before they were even told. That’s why you currently have a nation of cynics.
