I suppose they meant that it slows down their internet, not the internet

1374. I look really good for my age

“The narrative” that everybody should have voting rights?

Oh no, the horror!

A rotary notary, if you will

The amount of pants-shitting about the film from people who’d only read the books (probably not even all of them) was, well… predictable

Agh, figures that the Russian Volunteer Corps was apparently in on the action. It just never fails to boggle my mind that the majority of the anti-Russian militias that are fighting in Ukraine are so far right that they think Putin isn’t fascist enough.

Like, yeah, it’s great that they’re fighting Russia, but holy fuck is it this hard to find people in Russia who aren’t complete pieces of shit and are also willing to fight Putin?

I think it’s interesting is that so many autocracies keep up the pretense of democratic and rules-based governance; even North Korea has elections. Same with political trials like you see in so many authoritarian regimes, from modern Russia or China to Nazi Germany – it’s like autocrats need to be able to pretend to themselves that the system they run is fair and just, and that they’re not just tyrants who govern with impunity and enforce rules arbitrarily.

What I don’t get is why? Why bother when it’s immediately obvious to everyone that it’s all a sham? Why not drop the pretense, which everybody knows is just a pretense?

the only political group that supports Putin in Portugal are the communists.

I’m very much a leftist and this is just something I haven’t managed to wrap my mind around. How can anyone claim to be a leftist and support an extremist right wing dictator?

We’ve known about the dangers of overusing antibiotics for decades now, and it’s become obvious that this is yet another case where we won’t do near enough to combat a problem until it’s already much too late and practically disastrous

Surprising that Euronews is still running pro-Ukraine news considering it’s now owned by Orbánists

Meaning that he knows he’s sharing bullshit

On the other hand… do you want them getting out there to infect the rest of the galaxy?

Who said anything about giving them supplies?

I’m sure the free market will solve this! (yes, /s)

You sure he’s getting hoodwinked and not sharing shit he knows is fake on purpose?

Looks like your Lemmy frontend / client turned the community mention into a link so it just took me to lemmy.world, but here’s one that’s not a link: !political_weirdos@lemmy.world

The persecution fetish conservatives have is just incredible.

Well, I guess when you’re a psychopathic narcissist it’s hard to imagine that everybody else isn’t one too, so it’s understandable that they think we want to put them in concentration camps because that’s what they want to do to us.

Where we should really start is yeeting Musk and his supporters out of the fucking solar system (shooting them into the sun would be a waste of perfectly good delta-v)

Ukraine hasn’t “taken over Kursk”, they made a small incursion and they’re holding parts of it, and they’re doing it to tie up Russian units on their side of the border. You seem to be assuming that Russia will never be able to dislodge the Ukrainian unit that made this incursion.

Maybe time to stop reading the news for a while, this sort of hysteria can’t be good for you.

it has been bought by an Orban linked company las year.

Fucking what. Noooo, damnit

Stalin was nominated twice
