Welcome again to everybody! This is your friendly reminder, growling at the United States from Orbit is praxis Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have a Matrix homeserver at genzedong.xyz. See this thread for information about our Matrix space.

Yo can I just say Lemmygrad has been super friendly and welcoming to us and it’s much appreciated.
We’re currently united in our sacred duty of lib dunking, once (if) it cools down some struggle sessions might arise, already seeing some fellow lemmygrad users complaining about ppb
Sorry about the ppb. We’ve discussed toning it down so hopefully you’ll see less of it now
I absolutely didn’t agree to that. If anything we need more and bigger PPBs
It shows up really large if we use the drawn one right?
massive
Yes. I think the union between Lemmygrad and Hexbear has been a positive one for both instances.
oh theres going to be a HUGE anti anarchist push once the main anti liberalism stuff is over, but we’ll smooth it out.
Just keep federating libs once the lemming bots reach their preset defederate limit. There’s enough libs to kick that can really far down the road.
This weekend I will walk in the Pride Parade 🏳️🌈 looking forward to it
I FUCKING LIVED BITCH HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Nice to be back on the sane side of the internet, missed you gremlins
Wb comrade! Although, dont you have a lemmygrad account? Surprised you’re not posting from there
I use both now, but hexbear got the funny pictures
Federation was a good idea if only because of how incandescently furious it makes liberals to have to hear leftist opinions
Its pretty funny how they come unarmed (no theory) and get absolutely obliterated like that one dude claiming that workers owning the means of production is literally capitalism 😂
they come unarmed (no theory)
I’ve seen plenty of wikipedia links they didn’t read either
hello Hexbear!
ive seen a course on the politics in contemporary china by princeton
and there too the prof said that when new legislature is being debated that the most popular legislature becomes implemented the fastest
even though china is not a democracy
and that really controversial legislature can take yearssaid by my taipeaboo friend.
I miss my social circle being a bunch of tankies 😭
bye Hexbear 💚sorry but democracy is clearly when private capital writes legislation and senators who were paid by them pass it
True democracy is when every x years we can vote for one out of numerous US puppets, despair that no legislation is passed to help the vulnerable, average workers and witness our infrastructure crumble while giving huge tax cuts to the wealthy.
B-but still better than those AuThOrItArIaN countries!!11
lol
Why is lemmy.ml memes comm so bad?
like any large instance aside from Lemmygrad and Hexbear, lemmy.ml is infested with liberals 😔
Oh good it’s not just me that noticed
many people are saying it
I suspect what we’re actually seeing is a time portal in to the early 21st century.
It’s actually a brilliant bit to only post the worst memes of reddit circa 2017
I blocked it. just go to the comm page and click block community.
Maybe some people here will enjoy these:
DPRK Architecture of the Future

Moving into my new apartment; it’s a first floor walk up.
Yeah it’s right next to that river that splits after a waterfall and goes in two completely opposite directions. They built the place just to look at it.
What if we kissed under the futuristic DPRK ecosocialism retreat 😳
why the comically large pillars lol

The whining about authoritarianism is so annoying to me
Complaints about authoritarianism honestly feel so disconnected to actual on-the-ground problems. I do not understand how people have the ability to even begin to care about how authoritarian something is as conditions get more and more desperate.
“yo, can I have a living wage to support myself?” no, because doing so would be imposing rules on business owners and that’s authoritarian
“can I at least have inexpensive or free healthcare so I can labor for you more effectively then?” no, because doing so would force insurance companies to make less money and that’s authoritarian
“fine, but please, let’s at least sort out the environment so humanity and massive numbers of species don’t die out” sorry, but we would need to reduce the size of the fossil fuel industry and doing that is government overreach and authoritarian, also we could take solar panels from China but they’re authoritarian
it’s really just the ultimate cudgel. you can use it against literally any idea that anybody proposes that require even the slightest amount of coercion or force, regardless of how good or bad or necessary it actually is. it’s become totally meaningless.
It also ignores the infinite ways in which “liberal democracy” engages in authoritarian action on behalf of property owners and the bourgeoisie
My boss getting to decide my hair color? Not authoritarian. Some suit deciding if I live or die with medicine prices? Not authoritarian. A government that represents my interests making sure I have access to high-speed rail and shelter? Sus, authority, red flag
ECOWAS has activated its standby force with all its elements immediately to restore “constitutional order” in Niger. War is eminent.
I’ve also seen tweets like this claiming the Nigerien coupers will kill the neocolonial puppet of a president if ECOWAS sets foot into Niger, but this claim ultimately comes from anonymous US officials. I could not verify this claim that suspiciously gives justification for the invasion.
One of my pepper plant seeds is sprouting lets goooooo
I just saw an ad for a online gambling website. The url was was just an ethic slur dot com
That feels like one of the good cumtown bits
This federation megathreas stuff is getting out of hand, now there’s two of them! Hello comrades!

A cloth
brilliant

isnt that just the news mega
Pokeman go to the Terastallizationthread
in hindsight, this is one of the worst things I have ever written
“They got mad at me when I said it but they do run the world!”
Can you elaborate what this is ment to mean?
the joke is that mel gibson is an antiseimitic pos
Vaush after every debate.
It seems like the current plan is to have ECOWAS hold economic sanctions against Niger while moderate rebels destabilize the country.

A French military aircraft breaching Niger airspace from Chad
Funny, a few days ago I was told it would be impossible for the French to bomb Niger, because Algeria would close their airspace. Guess there are other options?
I was logged out when I opened the site and, for a second, I showed as u/GarbageShoot in the upper right corner
a bug? a feature? a threat? who am i?
Shit, I thought that bug was fixed.
Same, I thought it was a websocket issue, and the devs removed that??
This has been happening to me too, very regularly; I see another user info for a split second.
The current implementation does not indeed appear to use websockets; it calls a controller every 30 seconds or so instead.
