"Freedom of the press" is a joke. I can see what our "free press" is doing with the butchery of Gaza. At a certain point you have to accept that your understanding of the facts is not, and has never been unmediated.

Here is a good starting point if you want to understand the ways this has happened and more critically evaluate it.

I sleep fine. Sometimes I jerk off first.

Part of developing mental maturity is coming to understand that other people might genuinely believe in a differing set of facts from you. And my facts are based on evidence.

like, "such and such country is committing genocide and covering it up!" is a very serious claim! fortunately, it is also very incredible. it's improbable that mass murder of a population can go almost totally unnoticed except for reports and evidence from sources that are demonstrably untrustworthy. Just knowing who Adrian Zenz is should be making you suspicious unless you've completely disabled your bullshit detectors.

I'm a leftist who isn't a tankie. I don't much care about China and I think the struggle for liberation can only be fought where we are at. I don't uncritically accept the propaganda and the worldview of the state I seek to destroy at face value. Thus I do not accept claims about "genocide" committed by the US' main rival without good evidence. Having principles and critical faculties are important to my politics. What about you? What makes you, someone who identifies liberals as "center-left," significantly different from them? Your conditional support for Palestinian liberation?

Hm, so you're saying that every political faction "denies genocide and defends aggressive warmongering"? Could it perhaps be that every faction gets accused at one point or another of genocide and aggressive warmongering, and it's your responsibility as a political person to use your brain to figure out who is lying?

Actually, it's an article covering worldwide protests in opposition to Israel's ongoing genocide of Palestine.

ngl, i love those folks. i agree we could chill out in some situations.

i will die defending the hexbear servers from the forces of reaction

downside of lemmyverse: you will get death threats for being a lolicon

upside of lemmyverse: you can send death threats to lolicons

i mean, when the revolution comes checks calender sometime in Q3 next year, i expect post screenshots across the lemmyverse to appear in multiple kangaroo trials and summary executions. But of course the same is true of Reddit, so who cares.

I know it sounds like I'm taking the piss, but I don't think I've encountered a kinder, more accepting community than Hexbear, due to admins here actually enforcing civility rules. And I'm sure there's an equally chill instance for people who aren't interested in tearing the arms off their boss and drinking blood directly from the limbless wounds.

it varies by jurisdiction, but a server hosted in the US would be obligated to avoid serving illegal content whether it was sent from another server, uploaded by the server owner, or posted by a user of the site, which I believe creates an obligation to defed from CP instances.

and if you kept doing it, would you be asked to leave? would your "free speech" be "violated" by exclusion from decent society? I'm struggling to see the contours of your argument, where exactly you draw the line between "censorship" and "social pressure" and how you imagine that ought to translate to online spaces?

oh uh that seems bad

this is every qanon guy who lost custody of his kids for abusing them

are there any JS fans who argue that it's elegant? i thought the supposed advantage was that it's flexible and universal.

i'm sorry that's fucked

why in the 90s? all these products still exist except crank windows.

Grayzone could find IC links on an ant lol.
