Lol, using sovereignty as an excuse, that’s low.

to the surprise of no one

It is. If you call the Malvinas by its settler name I will surely take offence. Kalaallit doesn’t mean “Greenlanders”, it means “people from this land”, Greenland is just something Europeans came up with. For a country being colonized I think you could respect if they prefer to be called by their native name instead of the name of its colonizers.

literally usonians: please bring back the wholesome pdf dalailama!

I shall not go to the polls. I have not registered. I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States that no “two evils” exist. There is but one evil party with two names, and it will be elected despite all I can do or say… — W.E.B. Du Bois

The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them. — Julius Nyerere

I think some of those are superseded by the instance’s rules, so communities generally avoid stating the same rules twice. E.g.: the instance’s rules and the community’s rules. I’ll message and admin and ask their opinion, though.

na, he’s the us without the mask

Don’t be a shitty country if you don’t want to by hated by every single person in the planet.

Yes, the US is a nazi state, it directly served as inspiration to Hitler, actually.

how do you think moderation happens if it is not “based on moderator discretion”? There is no rule that fits all scenarios, you always need a human to decide that…

If the original comment is not present, it’s because it was deemed offensive, you don’t want slurs being showed in public. You know what you posted or commented, reasons are always given, so you know when to ask a moderator or admin for a possible mistake or if you actually erred.

Just to be clear, yes, we are in favour of censoring content that’s deemed offensive or discriminating, or that promotes right wing ideologies. It is not silent, or unaccountable, though.

Those belong to Mexico. This is the list of territories the US stole from Mexico thanks to Santa Ana in a very similar fashion, although without some key contexts, to what Russia is doing in Ukraine:

• Texas
• California
• Nevada
• Utah
• Most of Arizona
• Most of New Mexico
• Parts of Colorado
• Small parts of Wyoming
• Southern Arizona
• Southern New Mexico

They’re at home, you’re the stranger around here, gringo.

Yes, you need to be into a topic regarding a meme to understand a meme. And again, it IS a meme, maybe you think a meme is an image with text on the top and the bottom. That’s not the definition of a meme, a meme can have many different forms.

lol wtf

It is a meme. It plays on the cultural idea that the West should rescue X or Y country (that they destroyed btw), jokingly mentioning that the living condition for US people is actually worst than that of a lot of third world countries. If you have any issues with the amount of memes regarding politics being posted, you can participate sharing non political memes.

To the people saying Greenland should remain a colony of Denmark because that grants them some sort of protection. Europe is not going to do anything and Greenland will become a US colony.

The thing is that Lemmy.ml is a general purpose instance, it’s not about promoting Marxism, but still it upholds values that for certain people look like inconceivable requisites. We do not ask you to become a communist, but simply to understand that the rules based order imposed by the US do not apply here. We want to hear what oppressed people cannot say elsewhere.
