gotta step up our game fr

In Russia this (the confiscation and sentence, not the execution part) happens when somebody becomes out of favor, not because all the stolen wealth was suddenly discovered. Everybody in the government is in on it and doesn't stop it until ordered from the top. That's just how mafia works.

Lemmy.world Is Anti‑Humanity. How Its Admins Weaponized Defederation to Silence Palestine Solidarity

A bit offtopic, but makes me wonder:

db0 feels to me like a weird psyop, or simply someone's trying to promote their store (check out dbzer0.com)
They are very pro-AI and remove comments critical of it swiftly and without explanation.

I'm not saying that their claims about .world are inherently false. As I said, it's offtopic but current campaign championed by that instance made me scratch my head even more.

The underlying conditions that led to the removal of Yabloko, Russia’s only openly anti-war party, from the elections

The removal itself isn't surprising, the surprising part is that the party was allowed to be registered for election in the first place. Before even slightly dangerous parties would not be allowed anywhere close to the process, and threre would not be a loud removal from the ballot. This last happened in 1996, before khuylo era. This looks like a major fuckup.
