The only simple reason lies within their name, "deprogram". The target is not people like us. You have be a bit loose (realism) while being firm with your ideology (ideals). Otherwise there will be no treading of blurred lines, and only separated camps.

We’ve handled an “exodus” before (they go back to Reddit in the end no matter how much they criticise it), we’ve handled trolls, we’ve handled DDoS attacks, they can’t bring anything we haven’t seen before.

But before this, liberal Borg/Collective has not moved like this across the internet overnight. The network effect can be overwhelming, and there will be leaks like the user who got ratio'd below. It is best to have an understanding of these other instances popping up, as there are about 10-12 major Lemmy instances now.

Physics became such a slugfest for me early on, because I did a deepdive project on Higgs boson during middle school. It did not help that integration calculus became my weak point later on, but I did what I had to. Weird days.

Hello!

How do you Xi your outlook on China?

Do not get sunburned or develop skin cancer or melanoma. https://vitamindwiki.com/No+%E2%80%93+10+minutes+per+day+of+sun-UVB+is+NOT+enough

I know what happened to him, I even provided the Uyghur masterlist and the China imperialism videos on r/sino with modified voice, since nobody else had them.

His content was GOOD.

FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

FUCK I MISS BAYCHAD

Average high grade thread on Lemmygrad, saving with SingleFile.

Not yet read the materials, mainly because of the whole Reddit exodus thing that will be going on for a while. I have to think what to do with my privacy subreddit. I will take time to participate here unless I can fully accept where I stand on the social slider, because I am protective towards this space even if I may have to leave. I did pursue other methods into seeing redpill arguments and Jubilee YT channel middle ground debates related to alphamale/beta/feminism and such.

My visual picture of it is that Americans have eternally been conditioned to "capitalise" on everything possible, and since USA is reaching its final conclusion in the chapter of superimperialist capitalism, people are probably subconsciously thinking of it as capitalising off of the remains of their country as it collapses away. Seems to me like a perfectly fitting end to the last bastion of Anglo empire.

See the "sealioning" rule. It might be useful ammo.

Somebody post a picture of Nazis burning books

It sounds mean, until you realise these people enable US government only to enjoy their rich lives thanks to the overseas profit-generating genocides and foreign regime changes, never commit revolution against their state, conveniently screamed the past year how Russians should have overthrown Putin and his party so NATO could balkanise Russia, and demonise China everyday when after centuries they finally get to enjoy better quality life in the past few decades.

This does not stop with Russia, China and war machinery business. They see outside of Europe (now they are even exploiting Europe) and themselves, rest of the countries and continents as cattle meant to serve them either as slave pets or as beef. Now, one could say, it is the state, but it comes back to proletariat committing revolution, instead of which they chose to enjoy American/white privilege.

Until 2008 crisis, and even after that, they loved their privileged environment gained by all the exploitation and genocide, and you can even see this in the form of nostalgia they sell the world in the form of "oh before 2008/09 it was all bliss and merry, wish those times were back".

The ones who lose, only have themselves to blame, for they could have chosen to forgo the comfort of genocide-derived privileges, and committed revolution against the state. It was a matter of picking the greater, longer good but they chose to pick the shorter happiness, because USA apparently in their heads was an infallible Goliath.

To add a little, I value more the importance of 5+ billions of lives over 0.35 billion lives.

Edit: I think I missed something important. Not every average common person is a deranged Twitter liberal, however, it does not excuse them of being revolutionary. They choose to be, and openly admit being passive in drawing room discussions. If they had an excuse of being vulnerable from state actors due to having family/children, well now they and/or their children will face the consequences of their inaction.

I would also caution you against nasty vote manipulators who always strive to manufacture conflict between people, like it is happening to you. I have many internet enemies who like to do this.

I took my sweet time despite being a long term Lemmy member, because I wanted to have a certain level of education as someone still between socialism and communism. HK riots opened my eyes and Bayarea's (where are you T_T) content really helped reverse years of brainrot since childhood.

By "they", I mean the bourgeoisie rulers and their worshipper proletariat. It obviously does not mean the working class that opposes the structure, however, it also happens to be a negligible part out of the "working class", and liberals and conservatives, that make up a lot of the working class, actively choose to surrender in front of capitalism, and go as far as worshipping it, because all the alternative systems have been apparently tried and are horrible.

The population is just kept complicit by immense propaganda that serves to protect those capital interests.

This is the more important part. Why has the population not considered critically thinking and dissecting what is wrong with the existing system? It is not that hard to see the obvious blatant wrongs that have continued to exist in the face of people since decades. It is way too easy to see the marketing, the billboards, the bias in TV and print news media and so on. The problem is, people accept and take everything like good little boys and girls.

Do you think that majority of people in the US generally think about or wish to exploit other countries and continents?

Definitely most people never think of it in this way. Some actually do though. However, I will change your question a little, and the answers will become yes. Rephrasing it suitably – is it okay if US government continued to exert and expand its sphere of influence across the world, and suppress any and all near peer competitors like China ad Russia, so that US citizens could enjoy more prosperous lives? You should hear a lot of "yes" for this.

Yes, its a bit harsh when I say 350 million people do not matter as much as 5+ billion people. But, do you realistically, and not idealistically, expect an awakening among US citizens on this scale? Something like the Joker movie has been culturally one of the most eye opening movies in recent decades. The whole Ukraine thing is being cheered on, where you would have expected some call out on the ridiculousness of it. China weather balloon became a spy device shot down by million dollar missiles.

I am being realistic, not idealistic when I say this. If the people are not interested and want to continue being ignorant, how can you awaken them? Yes, it is true that we must never stop explaining, and sure it sounds good in theory. However, the barriers to practicing the theory far exceed just the media propaganda mechanisms of US government.

People today choose to be ignorant. There is no way people cannot see things for what they are. They are so blatantly clear, and there is no requirement for deep, critical thinking today. It is the unfortunate truth, as hard it seems to digest. And I say this as someone who, for the past 3 years, has been teaching and advocating digital privacy and freedom via a huge privacy subreddit I founded myself. Most of the Western audience is happy to ignore something like Snowden and Assange revelations, and go for the China boogeyman, and this is after I have managed to open up and persuade many minds to see the façade.

I used Linux for the most part for 5 years straight, since Ubuntu 16.04 Unity launched. Since then, I only used Windows in a VM until a couple months ago, and I was a Windows user before Ubuntu 16.04, back to the Windows 95/98 days.

Today I keep Windows by the side because it has its use cases, plus it is always good to know something as common as Windows like the back of the hand, since I am IT industry material at the very core. AME allows me to use Windows without any spyware worry and performance and bloatware issues.

I am basically one of the more unique privacy advocate users that can do both Linux and Windows well, but I need to get a much more stronger grip on Linux quickly.

Wait... why is this happening? There is more to it than Elon Yuck being chaotic, isn't it?

Redditors can stop communism. Yes. I believe it. I totally believe it. The same ones who went and died on frontlines in Ukraine. I will not even contest that claim.
