TIL there are “'correct” .ml communities.
!opensource@lemmy.ml and other open source projects are decent
As always, !linux@programming.dev and !opensource@programming.dev are here as alternatives
I’ve not had too much of a problem in the .ml communities. they have their opinions and discuss them.
it’s that hexbear half joke half serious mix of Marxists and fascists that like reallllly get off on removing comments that don’t suit their agenda. I understand not agreeing, but silencing dissenting opinions is the foundation of a lame internet community.
I’ve been subbed to a bunch of their comms and not seen anything that was explicitly or could be construed as fascist.
Most English language online spaces have the western media narrative rigidly enforced. Some people prefer to not have to have a /c/worldnews debate exchange in places they hang out.
Isn’t claiming territory that doesn’t belong to you as yours the definition of imperialism?
They get around this by using a version of Lenin’s definition of imperialism. Lenin characterised imperialism as, in very simple terms, the way that powerful capitalist countries exploit poorer countries (or straight up colonies, especially considering the time in which Lenin was writing). Of course they use a version of this that specifically defines it as just literally anything the countries they don’t like do, leading to ProleWiki insisting that Russia is not imperialist but Liechtenstein is
Similarly to how ‘reactionary’ just means ‘bad’ to these people. For the record a ‘reactionary’ is somebody who wants to restore a previous status quo. It’s not inherently good or bad.
Reactionary, in political science terms, is the opposite of radicals. Radicals are to the left and reactionaries are to the right. In practice, people on the internet tend to use radical for both, but I wish the distinction was made more clear.
By this logic, Australia, America, India and a ton of other countries are still part of England.
No. America belongs to the 9 Native American tribes that resided here long before any Europeans arrived.
I think you mean the over 500 native American tribes, unless you are putting down something that I am not picking up.
There’s no possible way this isn’t bait.
