Liberapay is the best, they have zeros fees and are funded by their own system.

I can’t find the quote now, but philip agee (ex-cia agent turned anti-imperialist) says something like: “I sent my agents into Cuba, and they all came back praising the revolution.”

Just got around to reading this, excellent post. It’s unfortunate but necessary work to continually debunk the neo-luddites every time new technology gets introduced.

You hit it on the head that these tools are neutral, and their mis-use under capitalism is not an argument to reject them wholesale.

I spose since orwell was a british troop in burma, he’s only a few decades early for this.

They used this in vietnam w/ the phoenix program to help identify and kill a lot of people.

This isn’t the space for this, nor do we have any expertise on it. Seek a mental health professional or other resources.

I’ve heard good things, but also that it was somewhat depressing / dystopian, as compared to star trek’s overall optimism. Not to say that’s bad in any way, just that its not for everyone… is that the case?

Thx!

Taking a firm proletarian stand on how good this book is. It should be required reading for all communists.

Just donated, hope everything ends up well comrade.

Thx for making. o7

Happy to host a safe embassy for comrades until the new domain gets worked out.

Otto warmbier was an international story, and they did spin it into an anti-DPRK story. We wouldn’t know his name if it wasn’t.

Warmbier was never paid for his attempt because he died obviously, but if the money was a motivating factor, then it succeeded.

10k is a small price to pay for an international propaganda win. Upper-class USonians spend less than that on re-roofing their house every few years.

Absolutely. The only reason they’d refuse to do an autopsy, is because it would confirm with certainty what the doctors already knew, that it was medication-related.

What you mean pull request? I thought gmaps was closed source. Maybe wikipedia comments?

Who wants to take bets on the !alwaysthesamemap@lemmygrad.ml countries being the ones who have the parentheses.

Liberals can be vicious, cruel people. Like last week on lemmy.world they were cheering on the fact that the UK denied entry for Bashar al-Assad’s wife to get treatment for her cancer.

She isn’t even the one accused of any wrongdoing by atlanticist media, and everyone over there was cheering it on, hoping that she dies. Literally just a family relation of someone their media tells them to hate. Like I’m sure the USSR would’ve given Eva Braun treatment for cancer if that were the case. Being glad that someone is being denied medical care is such disgusting behavior.

It hits hard. The colonialists have nothing to teach us, and we have no need to take after the terrible examples they set. We have our own morality and our own heroes to look up to.

I’m also a vegan tankie and would be glad to join.
