Zionism is a settler-colonialist ideology dedicated to the eviction and genocide of the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine. We don’t allow them or their defenders a platform here, so you’ll have to go to reddit if you want to see people defending their atrocities.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro has announced plans to cut diplomatic ties with Israel over its war in the Gaza Strip, which human rights advocates and other experts have warned could amount to genocide....
I feel like they would also love batman from a “law and order” angle. He cleans up the streets, and beats up the low-level-drug-dealers while the CRT-trained cuck woke cops just sit there!
I’m sure the speechwriters are capitalizing on the widely held US view that “politics is all bullshit has nothing to do with me”, hence the “this isn’t the time for politics” line.
I was talking about non-local posts. It’s really hard to tell what you’re asking. Click the all button, and now you’ll see federated posts in addition to local ones.
If they made all top-level comments thus suppressing all other activity on the post, what would that mean?
I can’t figure out what this means. New comments are also sorted as hot by default, if you read the doc I linked.
I think the chat bots are, but the upvote bots sure know how to push the most rage-inducing and high-engagement posts to the top. Twitter, youtube, and reddit are very good at that now.
Haha no, but we do have some things inside lemmy to make it better suited for question / answer communities, like the forum / new comments sort. But ya I’d be down to hear ideas on how to make lemmy better for that purpose.
Holy shit this movie is pure art. The visuals and aesthetic are spot on for Cyberpunk and the sound direction is so good. Literally every set had me engaged because how good they looked. The scene with K just going around the city with these big ass logo’s of dead and alive companies was so good. Visually, this movie is a...
The “Chinese steal everything and are expert copy-cats” is an orientalist trope with a few hundred years of history. White supremacists are still repeating it to this day, and in this thread.
Like from what I understand you’re not allowed to touch the workers because then it becomes prostitution. So like. A bunch of boys just get together and sit down to watch some girls dancing naked? And they just kinda grin at each other and say “hey isn’t it awesome when there’s boobs?”...
That’s truly one of the worst things about brain drain / educated people moving to the imperial core countries for the high salaries. Global south countries really need educated young people helping to solve their own problems, and Canada and the US rip out their heart and soul.
At least in tech / programming, a good chunk of us are devoting most of our labor time to not just wasteful things, but actively harmful things, like trying to get people to click on ads, or increasing viral engagement.
I see it referenced constantly here, not quite as much on Reddit. I know what it means, but just wondering why such the popularity over on this side of the fence?
You also made me think of this relevant quote by Lenin:
People always have been the foolish victims of deception and self-deception in politics, and they always will be, until they have learnt to seek out the interests of some class or other behind all moral, religious, political and social phrases, declarations and promises.
This is the correct answer. These “things are getting worse” terms are on the right track, but they don’t describe why things are getting worse.
Class-based systems like feudalism and capitalism have overarching rising and falling phases, and in the late phases, exploitation of our labor increases drastically as the ruling classes fight over a declining surplus. This has rippling effects to every other aspect of society, from how hard we’re forced to work, to the degradation of media, art, politics, etc.
Every single one of the US’s amendments came not through voting, or within the political system itself. Every single one was accompanied by violent and disruptive protest and the threat from the masses below.

Someone in a meme chat just asked somewhat as a joke whether Republicans would like Batman if he was real, and I am now absolutely fascinated by this question.
