There’s a pretty strong contingent of Marxists, Leninists, and left-leaning people in the federated lemmy network, yes. I like it a lot more than Reddit and their coddling of the actually dangerous to society as a whole far-right, built I just found it ironic you came to lemmy to get away from the left lol.
leftist circle jerking
You are aware of where you ended up right?
This will obviously not happen, so I don’t know why people keep repeating this as if it has any meaning.
Why does Ukraine bear all the responsibility in ending a war started by Russia?
Until the west starts holding itself accountable, it has no moral ground to judge others.
That’s rich, coming from someone who lives in the West. To be fair explicitly clear, I don’t agree with the lack of accountability in the west. I don’t agree with Bush’s foreign policy, I don’t agree with the expansion of drone strikes by Obama, I don’t agree with the Iranian assassination ordered by Trump, and I don’t agree with Biden’s use of drone strikes.
You seem to be under the impression that the sins of the US absolve Putin and his troops. It just makes them all terrible. I can see that we’ll never agree to anything here, so I’ll bring some clojure to it on my end at least and just stop responding. I can’t say I’ve enjoyed our conversation, but I’m appreciative of the opportunity to have had it.
Bruh.
Chinese complaints are legitimate, US complaints are the complaints of a bully.
The Chinese complaints of the US sending ships and planes into the South China Sea, because China claims they’re territorial waters?
The US shouldn’t be sailing around the South China Sea. China shouldn’t be making territorial claims on waters that aren’t theirs. I think the world would be a much better place if both China and the US stopped their aggression and bullshit. According to you it’s only the US that that postures in front of the poor, tiny defenseless China.
Maybe the governments of all the wealthy countries just trod on the backs of economically smaller countries that can’t afford to assert themselves as strongly.
The military leaders who ordered troops to garrison in illegal areas should be arrested, charged, and tried in an impartial court.
Any Ukrainian soldiers who killed POWs should be arrested, charged, and tried in an impartial court.
War crimes are not ok, and have been committed by both sides. Any perpetrator of a war crime, regardless of allegiance, should be tried and appropriately punished if convicted.
Putin can end this war by pulling back his troops. I do not support the invasion of sovereign nations, just as I don’t support the violation of an individual’s sovereignty over themselves.
Bro I never said China was the aggressor. I said that both the US and Chinese spokespeople are being whiny posturing removed.
This is an act of aggression
Ok bub. I know you’re just here to push your propaganda line, but if you want to talk about aggression in the South China Sea how about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_South_Reef_Skirmish.
Once again, there’s grey in the world and the countries we support can do bad things that we should call out, and it isn’t a flaw or a weakness to admit that.
I’m not a friend of fascists. I actively work against fascists and the far right in my local community.
Also that might be one of the least credible websites I have ever seen in my life. It’s not even a news website, it’s nominally dedicated to the “strange trumpet sounds heralding the Rapture that have been heard in the skies throughout the world”. If you’re going to spout off misinformation at least take the time to stand up a website that looks professional and claims to be some sort of human rights watchdog or something, because that bit of bottled schizophrenia is not it.
Do I think those people will move in? No, I don’t. Apparently some had already tried and they got stamped out pretty quickly.
There’s a pretty strong Marxist/Leninist/far-left community on here as well, so that helps. They can be insufferable themselves (mostly just the authoritarian pro-Putin ones), but as long as it’s not facist bullshit I can deal.
I’ve spent like 20 minutes trying to figure out what lodged that thought in my brain and I can’t find anything. I think maybe I mixed up a Kali extras repo or something, but can’t find any mention of that either, so clearly I'm losing it.
Is there some array that links a specific float value to a gender? Storing something like that as a float and having to look it up outside the object itself to determine it’s actual value seems like bad practice to mezcal but I’m not a developer by trade.
I feel like I remember there being a lot of pushback against flatpak even as recently as a few years ago. Wasn’t there a strong preference for programs to be in mainline repos or something like the Arch AUR?
I know the AUR is being depreciated soon. Was there a major shift in receptiveness to flatpaks or something? From a security point of view I feel like the baked in sandboxing of flatpak binaries is probably a strong selling point.
I never said relations between Vietnam and China weren't friendly overall. I said that when pretty much every country near the South China Sea, including Vietnam, say that China does not have territorial claim over the South China Sea, China is probably overstepping and the aggressor in this specific situation.
The context for the discussion is US flying spy planes in South China sea. Vietnam has nothing to do with that last I checked.
You should probably check again, because Vietnam has claims on areas of the South China Sea that overlap China's claims.
You do realize that even extremely friendly/allied countries can have disputes right? You also realize that there's nuance to everything, and no country/government is perfect right? Criticism can be levied at a government without invalidating everything that government has done.
Just so everyone can be clear on who your friends are: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/ukraine-investigates-video-purported-to-show-soldiers-beheading
I never said the US was protecting Vietnam, way to put words in my mouth. I'll explicitly spell out what I said a second time: When two historically antagonistic countries, such as the US and Vietnam, both independently hold the same opinion that China is being overly aggressive regarding its claims to the South China Sea, China is probably wrong.
You seem to think that I'm some jingoistic US MIC supporter. I am not.
If you wanted to maintain distribution while also lowering onboarding friction, couldn't you round robin 301 redirects to the signup pages on the instances listed on the joinlemmy page or something? I guess with each instance being moderated differently, having different rules, and having a different culture/focus that might not fly, idk.
The dev is @dessalines, who is also a dev for the lemmy project so the odds are pretty favorable he'll stay active.
A bunch of the alt-right people, facists, and QAnon nutjubs moved over there when their communities got nuked on reddit.
If by that you mean Russia losing a bunch of people fighting for and against Russia then sure. Belgograd referendum when?
US is a clear aggressor here
China has shown incredible amounts of patience dealing with US over the years.
Yeah, when even the Vietnamese government is calling China out for their aggression in the South China Sea, it's not a US v China thing.
