  • 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?




  • I prefer cooking meals over food delivery and I don’t think it’s fair to scoff at those who do the latter. Time constraints and exhaustion-from-a-9-to-5 and all that.

    I decided to work on a cookbook not too long ago that specifically attempts to address this, one which is focused on spending as MINIMAL time on cooking as possible whilst being somewhat “affordable” and “easy to remember”, if that makes sense…


  • The Western Liberal, try as they might, will attempt to convince everyone that they and the Left are one and the same and that they are distinguished from the “Conservatives”. You can already see this in this very thread lol…

    It’s really as simple as:

    • Liberals and conservatives are in fundamental agreement with each other (both believe in free-market principles, both support the superexploitation of the Global South for resources, both are a-okay with setting up settler-colonies from time to time to ease economic tensions at the cost of Indigenous land and lives).
    • Liberals will appropriate Leftist talking points (even if they have no need to when under the protection of capitalist interests) to blurry the lines between liberalism and leftism, so as to neuter revolutionary fervor (the end results of this are color revolutions, welfare capitalism, socdem poison, etc…). Conservatives don’t even bother with the charades.
    • Conservatism, libertarianism, etc… are a subset of liberalism.
    • Death to AmeriKKKa, the Euroanglo-Zionazi Entity and the KKKommonwealth.

    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.






  • Personally, I would’ve preferred you responded with xenophobic slurs targeted at Arabs like me than with whatever LLM answer this is supposed to be, but you do you I guess. I would’ve almost taken you seriously… almost.

    So here, let me throw a random ass quote at you:

    And so, indeed, is the Orientalist attitude in general [referring to a quote by shitlib Isaiah Berlin]. It shares with magic and with mythology the self-containing, self-reinforcing character of a closed system, in which objects are what they are because they are what they are, for once, for all time, for ontological reasons that no empirical material can either dislodge or alter. The European encounter with the Orient, and specifically with Islam, strengthened this system of representing the Orient and, as has been suggested by Henri Pirenne, turned Islam into the very epitome of an outsider against which the whole of European civilization from the Middle Ages on was founded. The decline of the Roman Empire as a result of the barbarian invasions had the paradoxical effect of incorporating barbarian ways into Roman and Mediterranean culture, Romania; whereas, Pirenne argues, the consequence of the Islamic invasions beginning in the seventh century was to move the center of European culture away from the Mediterranean, which was then an Arab province, and towards the North.



  • 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.

    and even if it was the same woman, it’s such an unimportant detail to get all pearl-clutchy over… Wait a second… Hold on… I’m getting new reports of something equally as suspicious… That mysterious guy that was and still is present in almost every meeting that Donald Trump was in turned out to be… some guy named “JD Vance” 😱
