Well I’m not american, and AFAIK my country is far too small to have ever done election interference, yet we’re still seeing a massive surge in far right parties due to Russian and Chinese interference.
This isn’t a tit for tat situation.
To be fair I think lemmy kind of radicalised me. When I got here I felt like a left wing outcast on reddit, but I was in reality more like somewhere between a socdem and a dem soc type.
After a year here, I’ve been enlightened so much on online privacy and FOSS and stuff, learnt a lot about leftism and cool movements like solarpunk, and now find myself using the label “anarchism” to describe my political views. Lemmy has definitely slowly radicalised me and taught me a bunch of stuff.
(Also has it’s downsides, like a large tankie presence, aka. CCP and Putin propagandists, but to be honest, the left wing subs of reddit have been kind of taken over by tankie mods as well, which is part of the reason I switched to lemmy, most leftist communities on reddit felt authoritarian)
Russia and China have been doing for the past couple years, what the CIA did for pretty much the entire latter half of the 20th century.
As we’ve been seeing, it’s devastatingly effective.
Yep. We feed cats, they kill pests which would otherwise give us disease and spoil our foods.
Makes you think that domestication is maybe the wrong paradigm, neither or us domesticated each other (or we both did) but truly it’s a mutually beneficial partnership, something that is actually common in nature.
The common, did we domesticate XYZ, or did XYZ domesticate us? Conundrum.
@[email protected] your username takes on a whole new meaning 🤣
Yup.
If the rate of dying is 100% for all humans.
Then the rate of dying for both humans who confuse correlation and causation and those who don’t is 100%. Hence there is no correlation between the confusion and dying. So no one is confusing correlation or causation, because neither are present.
Bluesky has a feature where you can stop someone from quoting your post if you don’t like what they are saying.
The biggest crime is how USians pronounce Bologna.
The contrast between Wyoming and Colorado made me burst out laughing:
Eurovision is a popularity song contest, who includes Australia! It’s got little to do with the EU.
Maybe we don’t all suck and language and grammar are arbitrary social constructs and treating them as immutable rules forgets the main point which is to convey meaning, not stick to traditions.
keeps admitting
what countries has the EU admitted that aren’t in europe?
Anyways, while I’d agree caucasus countries aren’t in geographic europe, they are usually counted in cultural europe.
I don’t think you’ve grasped the difference between erasure and genocide.
It’s not the programming. It’s the power and financial success. Back in the day it was the oil buisnessmen.
Russia’s “ministry of defence” is pretty reminiscent of in 1984, Oceania’s “ministry of truth”.
Europe as a whole, yes. Europe’s oligarchics who benefit from the far right parties Russia is pushing, no.
