Free speech that the mods agree with that is. I was perma banned for c/Europe for privately objecting when a moderator removed this image I posted in a reply decrying antisemitic conspiracy theories in their forum. The mods left the libelous post up, and deleted my sarcastic, but otherwise civil response.

Maybe my opinion was wrong, but it certainly wasn’t dangerous, hateful, threatening or intentionally misleading, as the original post was. Lemmy has a lot going for it, but let’s not pretend that free speech on this site is anything other than window dressing. The Mods are still judge, jury and executioner inside their fiefdoms.

It just hasn’t become a problem for the majority of users, because we’re a relatively small, ideologically homogeneous community. If the fediverse ever becomes mainstream, you’ll start seeing that freedom of speech disappear as moderators sort out the dissenters.

Did writing that make you feel better?

By giving kids measles? You’ve lost your mind.

America bad. Always. 😡

Same, but there’s no way in hell this type of psycho gave it all away. He stashed a couple million somewhere for a rainy day. That’s how these people work.

Dude was worth between 100-300 million at his peak. I don’t buy for a second that he’s broke. It’s probably all hidden in crypto or cocaine stashed under the floorboards.

Touche.

Akshually, there’s only one Sol-ar system.

Is it really voting against their own interests if they know the person they’re voting in will just take tax dollars from cities and divert it to them to make them whole again?

These Kulaks know what they’re doing. They just don’t realize where it leads. They think the czar will always be there to protect them.

Boo this man!

Congrats to the brave men and women who made that victory possible. A win for labor rights anywhere is a win for workers everywhere.

This is of course after they spent decades consolidating power, wealth and influence with those same IP laws, while snuffing out all smaller competitors.

The speed with which Americas tech CEOs have embraced this new oligarchic system is astounding. It’s almost like that was the plan all along. Almost.

A stalemate where China is locked into its territorial waters and has to rebuild its military while suffering a military blockade, medium and long range bombardment - while America retains freedom of navigation and inter-continental trade?

Doesn’t sound like a stalemate to me. It sounds like a slow death. China is even more reliant on trade than we are and in a hot war, they lose the majority of their trading partners.

What does America lose?

How so? China has a manpower advantage, but they don’t have the capability to project that advantage beyond the mainland/local territorial waters. In what way would America not “come off well”, when the enemy has no credible way of actually getting to us, and no way of supporting it’s economy without international trade? Are they going to island hop from one American defensive position to the next, all the way across the Pacific, while also securing shipping lanes through the Indian ocean for the oil to make that possible?

Sounds like a bad time - for them.

Argentina and Spain are good examples. Peron and Franco organized ratlines for Nazis fleeing the Nuremberg trials.

Yeah what you said - fire him out of a cannon.

Based.

The fact he hired a stylist to help him look more like Jack Harlow is hilarious. Bro, you’re 40. Trying to look like Augustus Caesar is finally age appropriate - why are you changing it up NOW?
