Oh, sorry then, I must have misunderstood.

Since federation, a lot of libs who've never encountered a leftist opinion have been calling us russian or chinese bots for not supporting the latest imperialist adventures.

Hexbear is one of the oldest lemmy instances, but only recently started federating.

Are you suggesting that for the last 3+ years, someone was running a troll farm where the trolls could only talk to each other?

New New Amsterdam.

lol I clicked your name to see if you were doing a bit, and apparently you don't tip servers.

People who deserve money, according to Huge Anus:

[❌]Food service workers

[❌]Hollywood workers

[❌]Tech workers

[✅]Landlords, Shareholders, copyright trolls, and IP rights giants

You think people renting out their property is immoral?

Correct. All wealth is the product of labor, therefore rent and profit are theft, and workers taking back a bit of the wealth stolen from them is good.

I think I see the confusion, you believe in private and intellectual property.

I'm quite aware there's some silly laws written by those same billionaire's lobbies and passed by their politicians.

Copying something is quite obviously not stealing from someone.

But again, stealing back some of the wealth the billionaires have stolen from us is morally good. If you're not stealing from them, you're stealing from your family to support your family's further deprivation.

It's not theft, because it doesn't deprive the original owner of anything.

But if it did, theft from billionaire hollywood studio owners is cool and good.

You're not paying the wages of the hollywood workers, you're just increasing the funds the studios have to break the worker's strikes and further depress their conditions.

A liberal news source will talk about how good and downtrodden immigrants are. A conservative news source will talk about how all immigrants are drug dealers. But they don't disagree that there both needs to be immigration or that it needs to be regulated. A good real world example of this is Democrats flipping out over Trump's racism and then upping funding for "border security" and advocating for a tech wall. Neither question the fundamental assumptions about immigration. Both advocate for the same idea, just in different abstractions. Nobody actually thinks the person who writes a bleeding heart article gets up from their chair and sits at a different desk where they write about caravans of cartel members.

I saw the same thing with Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya.

The range of acceptable opinion was "[opposition] is not doing enough to support the war" to "[opposition] is mismanaging this just war"

Anyone who suggested that war was bad for both the American and Iraqi people was blacked out, including the largest protests until 2020.

But you can watch those movies and shows for free. The only part you're paying for are the ads.

When you get deeper, 90% of the time it's just one of a dozen "facts" they've adopted to service the core belief that jews are responsible for [effects of capitalism]

I don't know if that ever comes up. The whole thing started with "There's a huge expansive world we wrote, this is just a tiny portion of it", and then it turned out no, they were just generating characters to appeal to the largest audience possible and then inventing the world/backstory from that.

Isn't the whole point of federation that you don't need multiple accounts or pay attention to multiple sites?

A virus caused killbot factories to start printing omnicidal killbots. Each country's military was getting owned by the killbots so Overwatch was formed by soldiers from every military and some randos to shut down the factories. They suceeded, then became the world police. Robots were made to live beneath the cities and subject to "Detroit:Become Human" level discrimination. 10 years later, Overwatch was disbanded after a group betrayed them and bad press. 10 years later, some of the members came back to reform Overwatch.

It does have a utility though, buying drugs, moving money past capital controls, and creating fake revenue/losses for laundering money and tax evasion.

The dashes waste space. You'll know what 20230809 means in context.

How does this justify the genocide Russia is enacting on the people of Ukraine?

The US is not preventing a genocide, it is facilitating one. The whole succession thing was triggered by the Ukrainian state banning the Russian language and Azov & co doing wide-spread organized violence against Russian minorities, backed by the state, in Eastern Ukraine.

all that other shit you wrote

get over yourself.

His point is that Hexbear and Lemmygrad have the same stance on Ukraine:

NATO caused it by arming the nazis during the civil war and making US aid contingent on including the far right in gov't (instead of contingent on purging the nazis from the gov't and army), and then by continuing to arm them while they violated Minsk II and did literal pogroms. Western Ukrainian nazis were shelling eastern Ukraine right until the day of the invasion.

Every weapon we send to Ukraine is a bad day for someone, mostly civilians. Anything except ending western participation in the war as quickly as possible is sacrificing more blood of the workers for the profits of the bourgeoisie.

It kinda works if you understand knights as existing to defend oppressing class of feudalism.

But yeah, we don't need to stan modern russia to oppose western imperialism.

That wouldn't surprise me, I've seen ddos's against smaller servers over dumber things.

But given that they preemptively ban instances for not supporting NATO and the IMF and don't preemptively ban nazi, transphobe, and pedophile instances, fuck em.

The fediverse is weaker if .world is allowed to color people's perception of Lemmy.
