The Brandenburg Gate in Berlin: 1940 vs 2023

Reply in thread

How does equating two European ethno-supremacist entities and their horrible crimes downplay what happened in the Holocaust?

Arguably the latter lunatic European ethno-supremacist cancer entity plaguing West Asia is worse, but there are way too many similarities between the two to dismiss the idea of equating the two.

Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner purchase kernel-level root access to your computer via purchase of Electronics Arts and their kernel anti-cheat

It's not hard to see why the post was deleted on the other comm, the mods there take editorializing very seriously, you especially crossed that line with the FUD headline and post.

The updated rootkit will be uploaded and installed to your computer kernel automatically upon closure of the deal.

This isn't in defense of EA, and I'm aware of their anti-cheats and many like it having kernel-level access, but how do you know this? Where is this coming from? How will it be magically installed once the deal is closed? When will it be installed? Who's to say it hasn't been "installed" already, years long before any of this deal thing came up? Would you have come up with that conclusion if Saudi Arabia's PIF wasn't part of the deal/mentioned in the article? Does this apply to every single EA game from their catalogue (IIRC some games aren't locked-in to the Origin client)?

If these questions are difficult to answer, then there's your problem.

Bakunin? Kropotkin? Never heard of them...

Provide context and examples of these "lemmy communists" defending imperialism, supporting capitalistic exploitation of foreign labor and opposing anyone arming themselves in opposition to said imperialism (should go without saying but without naming names of course). Which countries doing these things did you have in mind that "lemmy communists" are supporting?

Libs and their western propaganda

Reply in thread

It's either reductionist "Blame the government, not the people!" or holist "The world is at fault" with you people, you just can't bring yourself to call out Western exploitation of the Global South.

There are at least 3 settler-colonies in the last panel that, in the past and as we speak, actively commit genocide, ethnic cleansing, destabilization of Global South states and other crimes, which were created and continuously enabled by the remaining featured countries, 4 of which were former empires that continue their legacy through neocolonialism. The rest, whom benefit greatly from said neocolonialism or are direct perpetrators themselves, are comprador states practicing systemic violence and repression on those that so much as sympathize with Dewesternization and anti-imperialism, states that harbor a shit ton of Nazis and states that are happy to murder immigrants and asylum seekers escaping the violence perpetrated by said states.

In order of apperance:

EDIT: I confused Indonesia for Monaco, lmao.

Big word small action

It's regrettable to say the least when this happens, arguably one of their biggest (if not THE biggest) blindspot... Doesn't help their case that they're the biggest exporter to the Euroanglo-Zionazi settler-colony..

The "critical" in critical support stays critical for a reason.
