Western chauvinism is when you criticize right-wing strongmen, and the more you criticize the right-wing, the more chauvinist it is.

Scattering the vermin is useful, it’s just not a cure-all.

I’m not talking about this particular case and I think their defederation from Lemmy NSFW was also stupid.

… wasn’t that over loli/shota stuff?

I mean, personally, I would note that US police departments are extremely uh, compartmentalized. I’m willing to accept that there are good cops out there, genuinely. But a good cop can only exist in a good department, and the structure of US policing makes good departments extremely unstable - and a good cop in a bad department inevitably either becomes no longer good, from accepting the abuses of their fellows, or no longer a cop, from their coworkers and superiors pushing them out.

OP, the Kbin link should have /m/ instead of /c/ to work.

You may be misinterpreting the meme - it’s meant to be intentionally silly, anti-anti-intellectual if anything. “YEARS yet no REAL WORLD USE found for counting any higher than your FINGERS” is definitely poking fun at people who think that higher academic notions are useless.

… doesn’t that just mean that only non-LemmyNSFW users will be able to downvote?

It doesn’t look intentional, then. It’s still insane to me how many ‘chances’ are offered to the bad faith trolls in Hexbear.

It’s funny that everyone is up in arms about this post but the literal sticky post says no tankies

What an odd bunch.

No, but I’m sure we’d all love to see it if you can find an image!

Just fanart for a game where your inner voices talk to you.

A reference to the game Disco Elysium (really fantastically written, absurd and poignant in equal measure).

There should be about seven so far

Must be a low volition option :p

Thank you, I’m not quite used to Lemmy yet!

They can be. I mean, I don’t think xe is inherently less legitimate as a word. But I do think it’s ugly and unnecessary, as are neopronouns in general. I have similarly pedantic opinions on things like ‘irregardless’.

If someone asked me to use ‘xe’ I would out of courtesy, but I would much prefer we all come together and agree that the singular they is the best choice for the job.

A post ended up with a lot of transphobia in the comments, apparently.

Supporting Taliban rule over Afghanistan is true left praxis, I guess.

“God I wish the institutions of power were more hostile to LGBT people” - least insane Lemmy.ml user

Pro-LGBT

Pro-NB

Anti-xe

Singular ‘they’ is right there

God I hope you forgot the /s

196 was a shitposting subreddit back on, uh, Reddit, which had one rule - you had to post before you left.

It became known as a very trans-friendly shitposting subreddit and honestly probably one of the better shitposting subreddits in general.

Now it’s migrated at least partially to the Fediverse.

Thanks, I’ll try adding that

Damn. I wish I was more Lemmy-literate so I could fix it.

Hm, odd. It should have 8 threads and… 3 subscribers.

The sidebar here says someone from the instance has to search for it before it appears for other users in the instance. Search for HistoryArtifacts in your magazines/communities search bar then?

Sounds like the kind of thing non-Nazi Germans would’ve said in 1930

Fascists don’t believe in might makes right. If they did, they’d all be liberals and communists, according to the end of WW2. What fascists believe is that their ‘enemy’ can be crushed because the enemy is too weak and effete to fight back. The proper way to dispel such a notion is to crush them and look fabulous doing it

It’s all Greek to me

There’s a much better measurement for how many were cured of Fascism

Better to see WW2 as a war against fascist expansionism. But yes, Spain and Portugal were left to their own devices, and because of that, millions suffered under the rule of Franco and Salazar.

The UK was nowhere close to being ready for war, but in truth, neither was Germany. Chamberlain made his decision with noble intentions, but in retrospect, even just strategically, it was still the wrong decision.

Millions of Nazis were permanently cured of fascism through the noble efforts of the Allies. :)

But bussy is an incredibly useful and versatile addition to the lexicon

The kids are alright.

Other than their cringey Fortnite obsession. Damn, maybe I should vote to fuck their future over, just for that…

I was into politics at 11, but I was a libertarian then (mega-cringe).
