Like ads saying Harris was too hard on Israel and too soft on Israel coming from the exact same org. Anyone with a lick of sense knows they’re disingenuous, but most people are fucking stupid.

To the glee of the fascist dictator currently attempting Ukrainian genocide.

Yeah, I’m not holding my breath.

Fuck strike permissions. If Biden had any guts, the USAF would be running sorties on Russian positions in Ukraine before the end of the month.

The authoritarians are making their alliances now that Putin’s puppet is in power.

I hope Europe comes out stronger for this crisis.

This will likely be the last shipment of aid provided.

Out of everything, this is one of the harder things for me to take. The US voted for this shithead, but the Ukrainian people are the ones who will suffer because of him. Because of us.

If the US under the Trump/Musk regime supports China’s invasion of Taiwan, will all the tankies suddenly decide American imperialism is Worthy Of Critical Support, Actually?

Going to new, or staying on hot?

Trump will be anti or pro whatever suits his interests at any given moment.

Traditionally the US

There’s your mistake. Trump doesn’t give a fuck about what the US traditionally does, and neither do his supporters. Same as Trump being blatantly pro-Russia despite the US, and the US right in particular, traditionally being anti-Russia.

They don’t give a fuck if they’ve always been at war with Eurasia or Eastasia. All they care about is having the proles crushed beneath them, and whatever Big Brother figure promises them that, they’ll gleefully bootlick for.

Wow, I’m sure this announcement coming right after his puppet was elected to the US presidency is just a coincidence.

Oh yeah, there were a whole bunch of issues early on. I’d completely forgotten about that particular incident. I think some of the instances had to wipe several weeks of their image caches over it. I forget what the exact solution was, but apparently there’s some technical aspect to preventing such things that’s been implemented now.

dbzer0 is kind of ‘the’ piracy instance. Run by an anarchist, a good egg, db0.

.world here is kind of the ‘normie’ instance, very left-wing by US standards, but centrist by European standards.

It was an utter disaster in those first few months. I stuck it out only out of sheer stubbornness in not going back to Reddit. Lemmy.world was always down, federation was borked, it was just not ready for the big-time. Just what happens when your userbase balloons 30x inside of a month. Now we’re in a much better position to absorb new waves. The big thing is trying to get niche communities started on here - a bit of a arduous task. The mainstream communities are all pretty active at this point! And anything about Linux.

65k Monthly Active Users (MAU) in July 2023, 33k by November 2023, 44k now.

Users about halved in the ~3 months after the initial exile. It’s increased since then, but not yet to the point that it was at during the initial exodus.

The anti-genocide people could’ve all voted and it wouldn’t have flipped a single state outside of Michigan.

See, if you’d said the anti-genocide people who protest voted could’ve all voted for Harris, you might’ve had a point.

But turnout in this election for the Democratic candidate was significantly decreased, and an uncertain number of those were anti-genocide.

Abstaining gave Trump the presidency. Abstaining for what reason varies, but Gaza was clearly an issue for some to stay home.

If they were so inept as it’s said, Ukraine wouldn’t perceive them as this big of a ‘Help us ASAP stop them from reaching’ threat.

10,000 warm bodies is 10,000 warm bodies. Or have you forgotten how Storm-Z units went?

And since when is recognising the military power of an army simping for fascism?

When it’s oriented around dismissal of the flaws of a military because it’s one of the commenter’s favorite fascist regimes? MLs are pretty predictable.

? I was told right here on Lemmy that the NK soldiers are functionally useless, tactically inept, slowing down the Russian troops, have never seen anything with a transistor before, and are supplying shells with 80% misfire rates?

What part of “Let us stop the North Korean troops before they see the battlefield” contradicts that?

Or are you just looking to simp for fascists, as usual?

Artists require an audience if they’re going to share their work - otherwise we might as well just hang our works up on our fridge and be done with it.

Lemmy is a very small audience at present.
