It seems the libs were left out. Auth-conservative Macron chose to continue as is

Exactly, we should assume that any international representation is not transparent
Blading. Trump could’ve easily razored his own ear open like wrestlers do.
Sad and yet not surprising as the external influence achieved the shift to the right
Lurking this thread and chiming in, but I don’t know. Is it because of accelerationism? A faster collapse is quite harmful to many
Yeah it’s tough to find a compromise when Russia seems to go for the total victory or at least a settlement of gains and Ukraine hopes for a stalemate without border changes.
The war is a classic example of fascist infighting
I’m sorry this instance has problematic relationships with some capitalist overlords being favoured but you are correct.
I’ll try to see if I catch examples happening
Sources like The Guardian, Reuters, Telegraph, CNN, BBC are sometimes allowed and sometimes removed on rule 1.
The latter case is usually evident while lurking and finding a deep long comment thread. Sometimes one user there has deleted messages and there’s another’s rule 3 content comments left. Apparently these cases seem to usually be mutual rule 3 but it looks like they’re treated differently.
It is somewhat opaque how sometimes the rules apply and sometimes they don’t, like news sources on rule 1, and iirc rule 3 in general. Deleting content should have the mod informing the user and the rest community what happened and have a way for the users to manage mistakes, be it either accidental rule breaks by the user or wrongful modding.
So was Russia and it was supposed to be untouchable. Now they’re in a war economy and losing resources
Maybe it’s like a “takes one to know one” situation, as both the USA and China meddle in the Middle-East and Africa with an infantilizing attitude.
Good ideas. Blocking actually only hides content from the user, it doesn’t lead to admin action.
I’ve joined this instance because of the rules and the communist lean
No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.
Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.
However it’s clear that the worldnews modding rotten. Fascist/xenophobic/antisemite users have their posts alive while those who call them out get hidden or even banned.
As it is the main news community of the instance, I understand how it can be seen as an instance issue instead of user preference to use some smaller community.
I’m sorry you see me as an enemy and act reactively. I see we the people as one and am not related to the image you need to attack.
Edit: and after all the compassion that horrible projection of a reply is what we see
Yea muricans are always a good example of the lot. Thanks for discussing and taking part in the philosophical pondering, it’s not usual here!
It’s not a metaphor relating to those. You can substitute the apple for anything you like, the fruit is not a relevant object. It just carries similar properties. They can be called ‘Notexistilandia’, ‘United Territories of Nowhereon’ or ‘Countrystan’. Whatever helps.
You’re very close with Chomsky and people not knowing!
What I mean is that the mystical prophecies of one true holy and pure — despite the evidence, like we’ve discussed, rely much on faith, instead of (and sometimes contrary) to knowledge. And general populations “knowledge”, fooled, propagandized is just that — much closer to faith.
More Chomsky:
I think irrational belief is a dangerous phenomenon, and I try to consciously avoid irrational belief. On the other hand, I certainly recognize that it’s a major phenomenon for people in general, and you can understand why it would be. It does, apparently, provide personal sustenance, but also bonds of association and solidarity and a means for expressing elements of one’s personality that are often very valuable elements. To many people it does that. In my view, there’s nothing wrong with that. My view could be wrong, of course, but my position is that we should not succumb to irrational belief.
Idealistic nationalist supremacy is just a form of religion.
You misunderstood. I’m taking your word as is.
Government propaganda is good to realize!
Let’s say we have a basket of apples. The world’s most powerful apples. And they all look rotten and diseased, we know the reasons which make them rotten, it’s peer reviewed and considered a fact.
So then we make a leap of faith. What if despite evvvvvvveeeerrrything, this one apple is actually pure and holy. And only a few know this for sure and they’re not letting anyone else know the proof.
That’s very wonderful but, kinda sketchy at the same time?
Fascists masquerading as communism doesn’t count
