Oh, found a post by the admin of that instance, it’s from a week ago

its the default setting of every new instance to require approval, on my instance i dont require email verification so i thought i could at least have people write something to let me know they’re human. in the end no one uses my instance so I just opened it up, maybe after some registrations ill make it an application again.

What Does it Signify?

Biden trying to draw in India, what bloody else?

Unlocked article here: https://archive.is/HecG4

My brain has been completely fried by the American racialization of people because my first reaction to reading that title was “well, calling them a racial slur is not very nice”

Ahhh, on the topic of Roscosmos.

Dmitry Rogozin - Director General of Roscosmos from 2018 to 2022, deputy prime minister in charge of the defense industry from 2011 to 2018, and Russia’s ambassador to NATO from 2008 to 2011, was (and is) a nazi.
The party he formed, Rodina, was campaigning to ban jewish minorities and jewish organizations.

Here’s Rogozin with a banner behind him that reads “Jewish fascism - there’s nothing scarier today”
Also here was one of his party’s ads Let’s clean Moscow of “garbage”
Rogozin also participated at a myriad of neo-nazi meetings and protests(money shot in the last few seconds of the video, translation not necessary)

These are the kind of people that are appointed in positions of power. Can we imagine even for a split second the sheer scandal that would ensue if NASA’s director had that kind of history?

As a Romanian I want to tell everyone “you’re welcome, world”.

What. The. Fuck.

This whole scenario is insane.

It shouldn’t be. Folks need to keep in mind that these kind of corporatist scum will quite literally kill however many people they need as long as they’d get away with it, all in the name of profit.
The reason they don’t do that is because they’re afraid of getting caught.

if the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the poor

Spot on.

Btw the reason most of these news companies use quotation marks for things like “traitor”, “sexual assault” is not to show that they disagree with a particular stance.
They do it to show that they themselves aren’t calling someone a traitor, instead they are quoting someone else who calls that person a traitor. So that way they are not implicating themselves in case problems arise.

Otherwise they can have legal consequences if the things that they say about a certain person lead to that person suing them. This way they can easily say “hold on, we didn’t call you a traitor, it was those people, we were just quoting them”

Or at least that’s how it is to my knowledge. (aka covering my ass in case I’m wrong :)) )

Is there a reason why you posted this 4 times in the same magazine?

Translated posts, first:

Fucking Waiters
About waiters, due to the fact that the new territories are now subjects of the Russian Federation, the residents of these regions should be treated like their fellow citizens, if you want to inspect a building or a vehicle - call an investigation team, witnesses.
If you do it yourself without informing the investigating authorities and the prosecutor’s office, you’ll have problems, because they may press charges and you’ll have a lot of questions.
In fact, you can’t even lift a slate on a private property just for fun.
They fuck up at every step. They say one thing, then another in 2 minutes, in the phones are correspondence with their relatives on the other side, money is transferred, you ask: “What the fuck?”, they say that the husband pays child support.
We’re riding in a tiger, a guy sees us and runs into the house. In the phone, all the correspondence was deleted, and my brother is a colonel of the Ukrainian police on the other side.
An old woman of 70 can bullshit in your face, which, by the way, was today.
I would introduce the initiative at least so that we can pinch those who do not have a Russian passport.
There are villages that have not been searched at all, and the people there are fucking nuts. In Dagestan, by the way, the FSB and Interior Ministry special forces (at that time) searched every house in the village, every address, but here for some reason there is no such thing, at least not where we are. It should have been joined when all these territories would have been cleared of this crap.
Overall, to summarize, our hands are tied and we have to work on the edge of the legal field.

Second:

I would like to complement my colleague with an example from my own life:
A comrade and I were driving along the Dnieper River in the Kherson region (we were delivering humanitarian aid to soldiers). The comrade (an active fighter of a special unit, took part in the Kiev direction) can speak Ukrainian very well.
And so we asked the local population in Ukrainian: "Yak spravy and where are the Russians here?
After some security, the local contingent in the color gave us the nearest TAC.
This is so, in addition to understanding the objective reality.

Of course. 🙄

If you ask a liberal what “tankie” means you will get a response that sounds a lot like if you ask a conservative what “woke” means. The two main developers are communists, trying to collectivize social media. It is very shocking. 🙄

Opening with challenging the definition of “tankie” without knowing or asking on what definition I operate on is quite the red flag. Also the condescension instantly put me in defensive mode.

Dessalines has a collection of essays he’s written on Github.

Thank you for the links, now after seeing that individual’s defense and apologia of the genocidal soviet empire I’m more than convinced that is not the place for me.
Just from a cursory glance alone his attitude is vehemently imperialistic, not too different from what I’ve experienced from many privileged westerners.
Whether his heart is or is not in the right place, that’s another matter. But after a year and a half of excruciatingly depressing takes from western leftists of all kinds, I’m not going to surround myself with people that I disagree most, I value my mental health more than that.

Thanks again!

Ms. Lake added: “That’s not a threat, that’s a public service announcement.”

Yeah, I think this is the equivalent to adding “in minecraft” after you make a threat

I’ve seen repeated accusations that lemmy is tankie/red-fash, especially when it comes to those that control it - mods/admins/w/e. How true is this?
