The most fucked up episode of robot wars so far.
A few instances are ideologically driven. So lemmy.world and lemm.ee tend to be pretty straightforward instances politically slightly left of centre but there are others like lemmy.ml and hexbear that push Kremlin/CCP propaganda. Anyone can set up an instance and federate with the other instances. But instances can also de-federate with specific instances. For example most instances have de-federated from hexbear and threads so posts made to them won't show up for users who use lemmy.world for example.
It's like Reddit, but not owned by a large faceless corporation intent on using it for social engineering. That being said, if you disagree with the political ideology of some instances they'll give you a ban for racism and not qualify it. Eg don't talk badly about Russia or Palestine on lemmy.ml posts. Generally, be nice and people will reciprocate. Except lemmy.ml.
Because Russia doesn't go after strategic targets. Only civilians and because (at least in Europe) the vast majority of people fucking hate Russia. Especially countries that share a border with them or used to be part of the soviet union. Nobody hates Russia more than Russians who have managed to get out though. I had a russian colleague who basically gave up on seeing his family until after the war was over and he has no intention of ever living there after.
Because whatever causes it, it's a difference in synaptic connectivity that can't be medicated or trained away. The only effective way to remove autism from society is removing autists from society and that's exactly what rfk jr wants to do.
Maybe he should kill himself.
The only part of Finland I've been to is kilpisjärvi, which exists entirely for Norwegians to go and drive snowmobiles and drink. So I really can't say. Norway is essentially pretty but boring. Plenty to do if all you want to do is hike, ski and drink.
Fuck all most likely. You'd have to have an extremely steady hand and do it as the plane was landing. But the pupil of a pilots eyeball is an extremely small target.
I'm no Marxist. I'm also not American. But I'm pretty sure it's more about the erosion of human rights and the rise of an autocratic regime. Shit looks pretty bleak for Americans. To get an idea of what's coming next Elon musk and Donald trump want to follow the insanity of Curtis yarvin. JD Vance and Peter Thiel want to follow project 2025. Neither end well.
As a European, it actually saddens me that America has gone this way.
The left have been warning about exactly what's happening for years. Practically screaming it into traffic. Noone has listened, noone has taken us seriously, noone has thought to actually stand up to the oligarchs.
After a while you have to stop treating them like children who don't know better and come to the realisation that they want the cruelty and oppression. They just don't want it to happen to them.
Once the extrajudicial deportations start, anyone still onboard with it is by definition hostile and an active supporter of fascism. These people can't be reasoned with.
Pretty sure it's not about money.
I'm pretty sure the rise of fascism has a tendency to get the left riled up. So technically you are correct.
Ok, but does anyone here own a MANPADS?
Also, Tesla has a tendency to claim environmental subsidies for sales that only exist on paper.
My country's doing fine, but there are others that are quite concerned. Most notably the USA.
Weird! It's almost like the country that a significant portion of the world rely on for protection turning into a literal fascist dictatorship is somehow significant. Who'd have thought
