I much prefer transparent censorship over subliminal propaganda. The LLM should tell me when the subject is something it’s not wired to talk about instead of spouting propaganda pretending it’s not biased.

And anyway, it’s FOSS. Mess around with it to fit your needs.

Seems like they didn’t get the memo that the entire point of coming here was to decentralize.

Then again /c/196 sucks so that’s a fitting instance for them. Blahaj is marginally better.

Lmao

dbzer0, lemmy.zip and lemm.ee have all been consistently great.

There are absolutely politicians who would say this shit unironically

I imagine the UN wouldn’t let an author publish something that calls for revolution though lol

Late reply but the fact that people keep pets at all is also a very political subject.

Management/governance of things having to do with humans, which is everything that we know of.

ideology of National Bolshevism

That’s just nazis calling themselves “socialists”, the same way nazis call themselves “national socialists” while actively killing socialists.

Literally everything we know of is already inherently political, on account of being perceivable by humans.

excessive

How much force would have been appropriate then, do you think?

Also, NATOpedia article lmao

I have nothing good going on in my life, so I’ve adopted an extreme viewpoint

Correct. Oppressed peoples tend to support “radical” movements that would improve their lives, and this is a stupid comment for trying to make that sound like a bad thing.

eat the fucking rich, but that’s not what gulags are for

The “fucking rich” / bourgeois are to be shot, not sent to gulags. That’s for the idiots supporting capitalism.

USSR

Thank god the “empire” funded and supported the rebels against the empire lmao

Star Wars was loosely based on it so no wonder you’ll see parallels.

Well, the empire from Star Wars was based on the US empire after all, and the rebels were based on the Viet Cong.

I once thought that the US had made mistakes but generally was trying to do the right thing

Thing is, there is no “trying” to do something on a national scale. What nations do — what they can do — and how they react entirely depends on their mode of production and material conditions. And that mode of production for the US is imperialist capitalism.

But they don’t, so talking about those "what if"s are pointless. China’s current interests — and, broadly speaking, those of capitalist Russia even after the USSR has been overthrown — are mostly in line with the Global South’s against imperial core countries. There’s a reason sentiment like this is common across the developing world.

Many of western countries’ victims, like Cuba, DPRK, Burkina Faso, Palestine, etc., would not be able to function right now, or perhaps even exist, if they did not have China and Russia’s support. Of course, alot of them like Libya aren’t able to function anymore.

No revolution started with the whole citizenry waking up

Obviously not everyone lmao.

What every revolution has had is people informing others about what the issue is (often by pamphlets, news, etc), what needs to be done, and organizing. The vast majority of successful revolutions are only those that had organized revolutionaries.
