The summer offensive that has been going on for what? One week? Looking at how fast Russia gained ground in bakhmut, vuhledar, and avdiivka, this offensive is going swimmingly
So a thought I had, does this kind of reasoning extend to western sources talking about western issues? I think a lot of people would agree on the principle of scepticism towards sources originating from places with a completely different political climate, so extending that to include many different political leanings and not only orientalism, would be a lot easier for people to stomach. As I said, just a thought
Since the reason so many people moved because of the third-party app changes, wouldn't it make sense for a Lemmy app to be made. Obviously not yet since the developers are already under a lot of stress with the amount of new users Lemmy is gaining....
So I could just post a number of news outlets and call it news? Just post a link to the frontpage of the guardian? The post itself even refers to previous posts as "discussion". The bulk of the "article" is unsourced so I don't even know how you determined this as news.
That is still not sourcing to specific claims made in the article, just pointing to a reporter, which is not how sourcing works. There is a certain paranoia on this board, at no point did I say I disagreed with the claims made, just that it isn't a news article
Effectively suppressed by tanks and rifles? What exactly is the problem with acknowledging what happened if it can be seen as a deterent for future counter-revolutionaries?
Right, the point I was trying to make was; they acknowledge that people died in the protest (300 or whatever it is), so what exactly is the issue and necessity to deny what happened? Why this obsession with "setting the record straight" when there is nothing really to refute?
So you argue that the massacre makes sense, that it is fair for the Chinese government to kill whoever took part in the protest. I just don't understand why denying the extent or rationalizing it through 'they attacked first', when killing counter revolutionaries seems to be a completely valid reason for killing people who took part
They did indeed, but as you are fully aware, the Taliban's rule of Afghanistan is currently very friendly with China and Russia, and is very staunchly anti-american

Would be really nice if on the instance page you could have some extra information admins could fill in like max capacity and such, think that people would be more inclined to choose other instances if they could see how close the instance is to the approximate member limit
