  • Bulletins and News Discussion from August 14th to August 20th, 2023 - America's War On Pipelines

  • I thought the blog posts with the Taliban guy whining about the boring life of an office drone were funny as hell, idk if that counts

    EDIT: also as others have pointed out, we need to give their money back, people are starving over there.

  • Lemmy since the reddit collapse

  • What a tantrum, asking someone a question then insulting and blocking them so they can't answer it and you get to have the last word.

    You know that if you just ask us to disengage without a little snipe thrown in, we will? It's literally part of our instance rules.

    Instead you post this childish nonsense.

  • Ron DeSantis Proposes Unprovoked War on Mexico

  • Tulsi Gabbard is actually a member of a fringe cult that schismed of off the Hare Krishnas, she and her weird cultist dad have switched parties a few times to try to maneuver themselves into positions of political power to advance the cults material interests and ideology. They're super anti-LGBT and anti-Muslim.

    She's also an intelligence officer in the US military.

    An incredibly untrustworthy person.

  • Ron DeSantis Proposes Unprovoked War on Mexico

  • I'd never considered this, but of course it came down to economics- weird how often massive crimes against humanity come down to some bourgeois thief wanting to take more for themselves and willing to do anything to do it.

    Just did a little reading on it, they stole 400 million (1942) dollars worth of farmland from Japanese-Americans, which is like 7 billion adjusted for inflation, and basically just gave them to agribusiness corporations.

  • China courts Germany's far-right populist AfD

  • You know what, it's not even apparent, you explicitly stated it:

    China's red-blue man owns US's red and blue men anyway.

  • China courts Germany's far-right populist AfD

  • It's a good policy for sure.

  • China courts Germany's far-right populist AfD

  • God could the point go over your head harder. That user wasn't engaging in a conspiracy theory that Jews on all the banks movies and government, they were comparing your apparent belief that the Chinese government controls the American government to those antisemitic conspiracy theories.

    Also zero points in an argument with a bunch of people who can't downvote

  • China courts Germany's far-right populist AfD

  • We used to allow downvoting, we just got rid of it to stop trolls from making multiple accounts to downvote every comment from people they disliked (specifically trans users were getting their comments brigaded like this) and it turned out to be a great choice because it encouraged discussion if you disagreed with someone.

    Also we're definitely not "Russian or CCP farmed trolls" why would they have paid people to talk amongst themselves for three years? I mean I could really use the supplemental income so I wish, been putting off car repairs for months due to finances.

  • What's the deal with Hexbear?

  • What's the deal with Hexbear?

  • Yeah, I lurk their tg boards to read tongue in cheek white wolf rpg reviews and I can think of at least one fairly prolific poster who is definitely some kind of socialist, probably a communist.

    I know literally nothing about the non-elfgames parts of the site though.

  • What's the deal with Hexbear?

  • I actually didn't know this, that absolutely rules, /r/FC rocked

  • Is it possible to block an entire instance?

  • You could go to an instance that blocks us, like Lemmy.world if you are that scared of communists.

    Alternatively this third party app Pretty Private Browsing has instance blocking features I think, but I don't care for the UI personally.

    Final option I guess is to cry about it?

  • Ukraine to fire all regional military recruitment chiefs

  • Biden calls China a 'ticking time bomb' due to economic troubles

  • "Yes, but if they invite allied troops into their country it stills counts as an invasion of Ukraine. What do you mean that isn't independence? "

  • The Ukrainian Counteroffensive Has Ended

  • I joked yesterday about how I'm not getting the simulated liberalism I was promised but like, I remember someone the other day saying it was simulated too well and to please stop and you said on.

    Are you just using this as your normal account now?

  • Taiwan reports second large-scale China air force incursion this week

  • Yeah because it betrays your actual beliefs

  • Taiwan reports second large-scale China air force incursion this week

  • You keep saying that you support it and then adding caveats that prove that you actually don't.

    "I support Tom's claim that he owns this house and would only want brief jail time for Susan's breaking and entering through the unlocked front door when he invited her over to help protect him from his neighbors Steve, who keeps shooting at him. That said, Susan went way too far when she also did a breaking and entering into Steve's yard to attack him while he continued to shoot at Tom while shouting 'That house is rightful Steve property and Tom the cockroach can scurry back to Susan's house.'"

    If someone said this, the only logical conclusion is that they actually fully support Steve and are lying about supporting Tom.

  • Taiwan reports second large-scale China air force incursion this week

  • Are you suggesting that the majority of Uyghurs support ETIM. Furthermore, ARE you stating that you personally support the self determination of the ETIM movement?

  • Taiwan reports second large-scale China air force incursion this week

  • You're literally mad at me for NOT reading between the lines and assuming you meant something other than what you said, asshole.
