Its about absorbing progressive momentum then dispersing it so the rich won’t get taxed and/or have to pay fair wages.

Occupy Wall St. would have been bad for rich people if that movement was associated with a competent political party, so Dems took to it to do nothing.

See, poor student drowning in debt? These people are having a mediocre vacation! Don’t look up how much money the publishing companies make btw

Images of a modest middle class vacation

FBI: this should make you feel bad, that modest middle class vacation is at the cost of the publishing company CEO’s second yacht being smaller than he promised his children. It doesn’t even have a helipad!

Wait the executive at News Corp during the phone hacking scandal still works in journalism??

I’m mildly surprised.

.world pre-emptively blocked the piracy comms because they are ostensibly based in Germany and have to abide by EU rules re: promotion/discussion of copyright infringement.

Despite the fact that they were never even issued a warning for such an obscure internet forum, and plausible deniability because the content wasn’t even theirs, they thought it’s better be paranoid safe than sorry.

ETA: so now .world has a stricter and more draconian policy regarding the discussion of piracy than Reddit, a publically traded entity based in the US, which has even harsher copyright infringement laws.

The adults in the room are praying for the US to collapse and balkanise ASAP. Even if Biden wins, the best case scenario for the world is for the US to die. Even if the Dems win the next 10 consecutive elections in a row, the US deserves to die.

Your country is an experiment based on “Hey what if we don’t want to pay taxes to the British but are ok with building on stolen land with slave labour for the purposes of (some) white guys getting the ability to get extremely rich???”

Its a failed experiment. The best argument against the existence of a just god is that your nation has not been smote out of existence by the hand of the divine.

Tomorrow, if every politician, businessman and government agent that dictates how your country is run got amnesia, and every reference and memory of your laws, your wretched constitution and how your government operates magically erased from existence, I have no doubt in my body that the ensuring nation(s) that spring up in its place will be not only better for the citizens, but better for the whole world.

It would have fewer children gunned down in places where they should be safe, fewer people dying from rationing insulin, fewer people selling their plasma just to not die from exposure, fewer minorities and family pets executed by agents of your government in the street, fewer citizens poisoned by plastic and lead in their water, and fewer people half a planet away murdered by your troops or your bombs.

A better future is possible, but it’s not from festering like maggots the the corpse of your dying empire.

P.s.: Free Palestine.

Slight nitpick(a)

You wrote 西 (xī) which means west. You probably meant 习 (xí), referring to the president.

Also in “Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China” you wrote 金 (jīn) which means gold, when it should be 就.

…how often do you interact with Chinese people? Whenever I go back home to Wuhan I don’t really see much oppression happening.

Must be a new anti-白左 legislation of some sort.

.world has one disadvantage: It has to follow the laws of the Netherlands, Finland AND Germany.

So theoretically, if something’s legal for the Dutch and Finns but illegal in Germany, it’s not ok on .world. I believe it used to be smaller but I think they expanded admin teams? Idk how a single non profit website is somehow beholden to the laws of 3 separate countries.

It would be hilarious if they expanded this further. They add a country where alcohol sale is illegal? Recommendations for cocktails are now against TOS. For all. Add Singapore? Oops, discussing procurement of chewing gum is now against TOS. USA? Kinder Surprise is against TOS.

It’s Spez’s Lemmy account.
