Wait what if the building is a small shop that has a singular room with a toilet and sink in it? The little bookstore near my house only has 1 water closet. Those type of stores will be illegal to build from now on?
Liberalism fundamentally has an incompatiblity with socialism and communism because it's fubdamentally rooted in the rights of an individual to own land and/or the means of production, as well as supporting market economies.
This is in stark contrast to workers owning the means of production, or seizing private property for the greater good.
Liberals in other countries tend to be centre right, such as the Australian liberals or a fair amount of European liberals.
Hexbear began as refugees from r/chapotraphouse, a leftist subreddit that was purged from Reddit by the admins 4 years ago, well before the API drama of last year.
The subreddit was banned due to supporting violence against """people""" known as slave owners. Posts saying kill slave owners, John Brown did nothing wrong, etc, was the catalyst.
Hexbear was then an un-federated Lemmy instance until last year. Basically, due to not being federated with others and being born from crude dirtbag leftists, culture on Hexbear has splintered from Reddit and Lemmy at large. Mainly, being civil was not a requirement so personal insults and ad hominem is seen as not only perfectly fine, but preferred. Also uniquely being a leftist space that hasn't had a large, community ending schism between the anarchists and Leninists has been a factor.
When Hexbear did become federated, Reddit refugees people didn't like our hardline LGBT inclusive anti NATO Anarcho-Stalinist takes, and used Reddit terms such as "brigading" to describe our behaviour, which is more or less a misunderstanding, we have posts sorted by "Active" by default so what you see first is what someone replied to most recently, and we don't have down votes so if you disagree with someone you reply to them to voice your disagreement instead of down voting and moving on like a coward. (EDIT: This has been the setup since BEFORE FEDERATION. By YEARS. Were we brigading ourselves? Christ. We discovered it promotes discussions and engagement, which is why our instance is the highest activity per capita by an order of magnitude before federation)
So oftentimes when a newly federated instance user posts something like "Vote blue no matter who!", it will show up to us, we can't downvote, we reply with something along the lines of "You're a dipshit", that increases engagement, other people see it, also reply with serious and unserious answers alike.
Oftentimes, Reddit refugee liberals see our scathing hatred of Democrats as pro-Trump because their brains are programmed to only see the existence of 2 parties, despite one of our biggest threads before federation being hundreds of posters hoping Trump dies when he first caught COVID. Or being against the expansion of NATO as being pro Putin. Or support for Palestine as antisemitism. Etc.
So basically, a combination of "crude" language, "brigading" and being "MAGA/Putin/CCP/Iran/shills/bots" makes Hexbear a prime target for hating on.
I was informed by western media that HKers didn't want anything to do with us filthy mainlanders.
I wonder how the kids that "fled" to England are enjoying the beautiful British cuisine and the beautiful British weather and the polite British chavs.
139 out of 193 countries recognise Palestine as a nation internationally.
Considering they include China, Indonesia, Nigeria, India AND Pakistan, Brazil and Russia, it's more accurate to say the vast majority of homo sapiens recognise the state of Palestine
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.
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.
in my experience, Lemmy is 33.33% owls
