Competitive gooning

Well Americans are certainly telling Chinese users that their government is committing warcrimes like the meme says

I for one don’t throw away old/broken devices so long as they at least boot up

For the non-Hexbears that means a variant of the emojis

With alternate interfaces? Absolutely.

If not though… I mean I would live, but I’d really rather be able to at least use it occasionally — at least for educational purposes. There just aren’t any adequate alternatives.

Same. No idea how humans solve this shit

Lemmy instances have better moderation than reddit all things considered. There’s not nearly as many zionazis here as reddit for example, and the ones that exist are only on .world

There was that one nazi instance exploding-heads, but we chased them off lol

Would be more accurate to say capitalists I suppose, who inevitably give way to fascism.

The US is a bourgeois/capitalist dictatorship built on the genocide of millions of native Americans. I think most socialists would say it’s not quite a fascist regime just yet, but it has a history of supporting such regimes and is currently supporting a fascist colony committing a genocide in Palestine.

Fascists won the Cold War; it just wasn’t the nazis. This was unfortunately always an inevitable consequence of that.

Electric meat machines

I kinda felt this way when I used reddit.

Less so on Lemmy, and pretty much never on Hexbear.

Maybe well intentioned, but your comment very much came across as making fun of him. Hard to tell through text.

The only democracy in the middle east…

Half of “What people actually understand” should be outside the circle

I’m a socialist but

I sincerely suggest you learn about the DPRK’s history and how it got to this stage instead of relying on western narratives and outlets; the same imperial nations that colonized the world and is currently supporting a genocide. Korea was divided in two against the people’s will, and the North had 20% of its population slaughtered by the US and most of its infrastructure turned to rubble.

I recommend the third season of Blowback for its history, and perhaps documentaries like My Brothers And Sisters In The North, or Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul

Boy Boy also made a made a cool video where they visited the DPRK.

DPRK’s current issues stem from the ridiculous amounts of sanctions on it from the West (similar to Cuba and Zimbabwe; these only harm the people and destabilize the country). It was actually developing at a similar pace to, and even slightly faster than, the South before the USSR’s dissolution.

Fun fact: the UN praises DPRK’s robust healthcare system for being able to function so well despite the sanctions. Only possible cuz of its Socialist nature.

Edit: Also

According to Wikipedia: “Since Daniel Ortega’s election in 2006, liberal democratic norms and individual rights in practice have deteriorated.”

Liberal “democracies” aren’t democratic in the first place; it only serves the ruling class. Just look at what the US is doing, and has always done, with the supposed “lesser evil” in power. Same goes for the rest of the imperial core. It only exists to protect capitalism.
