It doesn’t matter aslong as you have a full Blatter at the funeral

Because he wanted a chopped omelet

If people started to flee to sop paying student loans they would yes

Extradition is a thing that the US will atleast try

The Hammer and Sickle will be raised agian, they may deface the monument now, but it will be restored

Welcome comrade, this is the grad, take a red flag and raise it high, and carry the instance tag with pride.

Its obviously Hexberries

The reservations, I have put a lot of time and effort into this dinner meeting

I understand where you are coming from, and I fully understand that we often spend too much time arguing long after the point where it is obvious the conversation is fruitless. That being said, the revolution is atleast one part education, and if I can find it agian, I will piput the Castro Quote here, but I feel we ought to engage, just a little. I would immagine most of us where at one point in time liberals, due to the society around us, but we changed we learned and we grew, and this is a fundamental part of the human condition. I am under no illussions of grandure here that arguing on the internet is the best way to educate, or that we touch many hearts, generally education, especially when dealing with adults and older children happens best when there is a rapport and trust with the teacher, but that being said, every so often maybe 1% of the time maybe a little more, something we say, some link we leave will get lodged into someone’s head, and they will think about it, and they might just come around. I understand it isn’t ideal, and it isnt “fun” and there are more effective manners of education but this is the what we we can do with the tools presented to us.

Now please dont read what I said as that somehow the liberals of the imperal core are the most important to educate, they are not, as you said pragmaticly the periphery is more fertile to this, but that being said, I dont think in my personal oppinion this means totally ignoring liberals from the imperial core.

Ahh then I retract my statement, I didn’t see the ban

ok, so I am usualy the first to argue aganst defedereating with any instance I would rather they could see us and then we can educate them. however seeing that lemmy.tedomum.net allowed a username of “hitlerdidnowrong” can we maybe consider looking into them and if we should defederate, like that just SCREAMS fash instance to me.

Can we not call liberalism a mental disease or defect please?

I fundamentally disagree with Justice, in the fact that if we do not engage, if we do not counter at all ever, if we sit in our corner and talk about it no liberal will ever learn, and while we might hang on talking too them for far longer than its worth, and that it is infuriating talking to a liberal, we do not get anywhere if we do not at least TRY to talk to them.

With that ramble out of the way, I would say if you are going to link and leave, I would sugest leaving the individual links, however I would recomend also leaving a little bit of a statement with it, as it is easy to just ignore a link with no context.

The danger to that is it adds to the “But lemmy is a tankie project that we should never use” narritive

Much Better

If you look at the bottom picture, its more obvious, however its more than a one off or color correction, this is a persistent choice to desaturate all footage coming from the PRC, and while you might not contiously notice it, your sub contious does, and it leaves a negitive impression, its a very subtle vut effective propoganda tool

Thats BSS not BBC , though more fitting name

By changing the color it changes how we view the scene, for example that grey filter makes everything more dark and dingy makes it less apealing and just “feel” worse. Propoganda can be subtle

One time I was interviewed at a strike, they did not write that article

So I work in the Occupational Safety world, and I can tell you Federal OSHA, and the few state OSHA’s I look at are pushing heat protections far harder than I have ever seen before. Not that it is not deserved, but that it is odd to see. Where I work, every day, minimum 2/3rds of the working day it can be classified as “A significant hazard to be outside” or “Cannot work outside”
