Do you lecture people about how your country is a democracy and whatever enemy country is a dictatorship?

Being completely passive and cold and ignoring the suffering of those around you is still better than actively inflicting suffering.

You can’t even criticise the USA government while in other countries without risking being whisked off to heaven.

If you have an open browser tab, it can pull info from it.

Please elaborate on what you mean here.

I feel the same way about smartphones but it’s now completely normalised. Glasses are less paranoia-inducing since you can clearly see where it’s pointed and it’s at eye-level. I’d rather discourage smartphone use than smart-glasses use.

Next time they’ll start with a false-flag and get those stats back on track.

Oh okay so if I sell the EU oil in Euros that’s no big deal then? Not gonna come kill me?

How was he allowed to publish this on AJ?

I expected him to have said something celebratory or at least making light of it. The only thing he said is that the ‘MAGA gang’ are capitalising on his death.

Discord is private social media, and most users think their messages aren’t shared with government without a warrant. Of course it’s possible in this case Discord didn’t even provide the messages to “police”, but that the police just subscribe to their commercial data-sharing and enjoy the same real-time access that way.

dark corners of the internet. “Clearly there was a lot of gaming going on,”
deep, dark internet, the Reddit culture,

Well this part seems trustworthy.

260 km/h is still good. As long as it’s significantly faster than driving, it’s deserving of some praise.

Does anyone have a complete list? The article says there’s a package manager and video/TV streaming app and this chat app. What about money transfers and banking? Does this Max app do email?

Are you implying YouTube sponsors equipment and office space for new accounts?

Depending on the phone probably, but it takes a long time for the phone to turn on. Taking it out of the bag and waiting for a network connection by comparison isn’t as bad.

Why is this petition hosted on the USA government site Change.org for USA citizens instead of ECI where there are legal requirements for the EU to take action on petitions?

The internet already asks for ID for everything. Cloudflare or phone verification, or an account from a service that requires one of those two. As much as possible, I don’t use things on the internet.

You can write fuck China on Lemmy.ml if it’s relevant and motivated. The difference is that it’s always obvious why the USA and Israel should be condemned. I think China’s Israel stance is super weak, and I doubt I’d get mod pushback for saying that in an article about how China keeps selling genocide-equipment to Israel during a genocide. Or about how China is pushing for a two-state solution instead of saying Israel is illegitimate and should be dismantled.

If you go “Fuck Cameroon” on an unrelated post, for example this one, a mod would rightly tell you to be civil or at least explain yourself. And if you then justify yourself on a basis of white supremacy or conspiracy theories as you are bound to do, then that reasoning will be rejected.

Literally only one of those is a legitimate political position. “Taiwan Independence”. And it’s a position you’re allowed to broadcast on RedNote if you show any sort of knowledge and tact.

Hong Kong was liberated in 97, and apartheid was slowly dismantled afterwards, and they’ll eventually be liberated from liberalism and then capitalism when it’s possible. Nothing platitudes don’t make that happen faster. If you care about the liberation of Hong Kongers, then do real political activism in Hong Kong with real policy suggestions.

What does remember Tienanmen Square 1989 mean? Because to me and any reasonable content moderator, it looks like you’re trying to say “People died, be angry!” as opposed to actually advocating or cautioning about anything actionable. Are you making an anti-CIA appeal? Anti-IMF? Pro-IMF? Pro-Mao? Anti-Deng? Are you trying to say “If the soldiers weren’t unarmed, we could’ve avoided bloodshed”? Because then you’re basically saying soldiers acting as police should’ve shot then innocent people, which is illegal. You’re advocating for violence, of course that’s going to be removed by moderators. Of course you’re not actually trying to say anything at all, because you are both politically illiterate, and because you know nothing of the event. Instead what you’re trying to say is “I’ve seen a lot of photos of tank man, and I heard the Chinese censored news about the gunfights, I am very invested in that act of censorship failing because my government told me to be”. That’s not advocating for anything, you’re just attacking the state, armed with rumour. Outside of China, in most countries, you’re allowed to do that. But that doesn’t make it not trolling.

Xi Jingping, the normal-skinned human is not a yellow bear. If you want to call Xi greedy or a messy eater or whatever else you imagine Winnie The Pooh communicates beyond a stereotype attacking all east Asians, then say that instead. Because otherwise it’s just going to look like you’re being racist, which should be removed.

Why when you want to demonstrate censorship on Rednote do you choose topics which legitimately should be moderated, if only for community vibes. Do you want ‘Free Speech Absolutist’ edgelords setting the tone for the platform?

Someone should invade the USA and bring democracy.
