  • You can use extreme examples about any group, like black americans, or chinese, japanese or vietnamese enemies and then use derogatory names for the whole group.

    Doing that is called racism. Example: You’re a racist, like a nazi. Since we’re on lemmy, all lemmy users are nazis. See how stupid that is to say?

    Once a war starts, law and order goes out the window and war crimes are inevitable, as well as awful death and destruction and untold suffering.

    And Russia is not solely responsible for starting this war. Should others who helped to start it not be held accountable?

    Also, the civilian death toll in the Ukraine war is still lower than the death toll in gaza or the (second) iraq invasion. It’s also hypocritical to dehumanize Russians but not USArians.


  • Lemmy has little reactionary people, but your definitions on who is authoritarian or who or what is “good” or “evil” have been manufactured by the mainstream media.

    If you ever wonder on how to prevent foreign or capitalist interference into elections and mainstream social media, you will find yourself looking to China and Russia for inspiration.

    Instead Lemmy has cut off any dissent from the actual socialists, those who oppose the systems that created the conditions for the rise of neofascism. People can’t even imagine or tolerate other ways of managing power. Therefor Lemmy is a failure.

    Of course the Tankies or “dirtbag left” have their share of blame for that too


  • Well, when I started to use lemmy I had a few problems:

    1. I read something on the landing page about “Mastodon account works too” so tried that, so basically confused fediverse, activitypub, mastodon and lemmy and wondered why nothing worked. Oops.
    2. I tried to join a community that was meant to migrate away from reddit, but found two duplicates. So I wasn’t sure which one was the correct one. Ultimately the migration failed, even though it was a software oriented community
    3. Then I soon wanted to make a new account on a server that doesn’t require an email. Because emails today are basically personally identifiable for security agencies.
    4. Then I found out that socialists are called tankies on lemmy and some of the main socialist instances are banned by the limbrols. So I made a new account and posted a little and had an interesting discussion about voting in proto-fascist democracies and promptly got banned by the tankies. Oh well.
    5. Then I had a discussion about how calling russian people “orcs” is racist. You guessed it, banned.
    6. Well several accounts later, here I am, the last sane man on the internet and you all fucking suck hahaha

    I do think lemmy is worthwhile and can be fun, but as a reddit alternative it has already failed. You cannot purge insanity by splitting it up into smaller insanlets. That’s just schizophrenia.





  • What we’d need to do is drastic reorganization of how we work and live and manufacture things. Things like:

    1. Ban advertising globally since it increases consumerism. Regulate long term guarantees and repairs and interchangeable parts
    2. Abolish all patents, in order to redesign the many thousands of industrial processes, legal hurdles have to be brushed away
    3. Make industrial meat production illegal
    4. Redesign cities to have all necessities within walking distance and no through traffic, similar to sovjiet style city planning
    5. Make climate change denial or obfuscating a crime like hate speech
    6. Nationalize all oil production

    Of course, it’s career suicide to seriously discuss those points. That’s why we still get this inane babble from the “intellectuals”.

    The sad truth is we simply don’t live in a reality that ever could have done anything about climate change. So it never even mattered if it was anthroprogenic or not. It was always like a physical impossibility, an economic-political impossibility.


  • I’d say history. But it’s not even that. The US is at war with venezuela and always has been. Just kidding it’s eurasia. Nah haha but they are waging economic warfare. Well Trump did and Biden continues to.

    So should you believe the US claims? You’ll have to as your ideological master programmer of course. It’s not like you could just use historical facts and make some clear logical deductions!

    So yeah it’s ONLY a matter of ideology and opinion /s

    Oh btw Trump also really won the last US election and Biden isn’t even President. It’s not like these things are different in any way - one side is right, the other is wrong, and it’s only a matter of opinion.





  • Yeah. And it’s not just how good the images look it’s also the creativity. Everyone tries to downplay this but I’ve read texts and those videos and just from the prompts there is a “creative spark” there. It’s not very bright spark lol but it’s there.

    I should get into this stuff but I feel old lol. I imagine you could generate interesting levels with obstacles and riddles and “story beats” too.
