Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful. — Seneca

Good points! Even if all of Russia’s propaganda is true though, it still doesn’t change the fact that they themselves have and are enthusiastically embracing their own neo-Nazis. So invading another country to de-Nazify it is a pretty ridiculous claim. Especially since they’re using Nazis to do it.

Not quite like though, right?

The Russia battalions are explicitly ideologically neo-Nazis and are embraced by Russia and Putin. They don’t mind neo-Nazis; in fact they positively like them! (Which makes the “de-Nazification” casus belli even sillier but that’s neither here nor there.)

The Ukrainian neo-Nazis have never been the majority of their battalion, the battalion has never explicitly been neo-Nazi, the state and the battalion itself have repeatedly rejected Nazism, and reports now are fairly conflicting about how many neo-Nazis remain in its ranks.

So pretty different overall.

Hilarious that there are still people accusing the Ukrainians of being neo-Nazis.

In what sense is it based on an Australian Aborigine? The movie it's from is explicit that the character is a Neanderthal.

Policing themselves is expensive, whereas disinformation campaigns want to pay them money actively. Of course they were going to capitulate.

The right thing to do is stop using these platforms.

No, they're bad people. Their whole point with federation was to troll other instances.

Check out Roadside Picnic, inspiration for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series.

Both of these have been journalism then and now. Fluff pieces have existed since literally the earliest days of journalism. And obviously we have reporters still going to Afghanistan and Ukraine despite enormous risks to their own personal safety.

So… meh.

Lol, I hope Young Americans for Freedom were listening and have the courage to vote in accordance with their beliefs.

"I like totally had nothing to do with this! He fell out that window -- uh, sorry, got polonium poisoning -- darn, I MEAN, had a tragic plane crash all on his own! Okay, go fix that up and publish it RT. Good job everyone! Remember, compliance or death!"

So brave… thank you for your sacrifice!

Now fix my (your) AC.

Exploding Heads. It was so sad, I think it’s basically just 6 people and they were constantly shitposting provocative memes to the void since everyone had defederated them.

Last I heard they’re leaving the Lemmyverse. Good riddance to bad trash.

I mean, he's right though? The point of the Constitution (and amending it) is to be able to change it so we can improve how we are governed. It's not inviolate and sacrosanct, it's supposed to be living.

Wow this is cool!

I was expecting a second coming/coming in second joke!

There are non-binary people too. Being bigoted towards them is generally called transphobia, though maybe nb-phobia would be more accurate.

Edit: also this is usually trying to claim that sex = gender so is transphobic from that perspective as well.

Brave!

Did I hurt your feelings by insulting the Economist? Their reporting has been getting consistently worse, especially since they’ve started selecting their editorial board for their ideology. But hey, downvote me if you need to. Doesn’t change the facts.

Common L take from the Economist.
