I wouldn’t go that far. They may have a bias on this issue, but you can hardly call them a Zionist front.

Trying reading news in russian (by russians). That’s what I call an imperialist front, even allegedly liberal, independent russian media occasionally crack and go on pro-imperialist rants.

There was is a famous opposition TV channel (banned in russia since Feb 2022) were the presenter suddenly went on a rant about “how we need to help our poor boys [the invading russian military]”.

It’s all a matter of context and frame of reference. :)

I got it, I posted before I realized this.

It’s funny how Americans technology oligarchs love propaganda copytext that includes terms like innovation, change and disruption, yet they are all vapid and lacking any imagination.

That’s a good point too. I was lazy and didn’t double check the organisation that ran the investigation.

Clearly overreach by the mods LW World News. I am honestly surprised deleted the article.

IMO CNN is not the best source, BBC or AP would have been better, but that doesn’t mean one should automatically delete anything from CNN.

You definitely need to move to some other countries (for a long time), learn the local languages and you’ll understand why your arguments about neoliberalism are unconvincing (I am being very diplomatic).

So genocide white-washing, pro-authoritarianism degenerates who routinely support regimes that are in no way leftist are worse than neoliberals?

Other than online roleplay, how are they even leftist?

You need learn a bit more about the world (outside of the internet).

In a perfect world, all media organIationa would have their own instances (tied to their domains) for each network type (threadiverse, micro logging, video, short form video) and these instances would be used for both content distribution (official NYT mastadon feed) and for validation of journalists.

The non-profit foundations that manage these networks could provide managed services to raise more money for development (beyond donations).

Even more so when the invaders, the russians, have no issues with using cluster munitions or mines.

There is a feddit.kyiv.ua instances? Is it run by Ukrainians?

Didn’t know there was a Ukrainian instance (there are a few Ukrainians here and there on the threadiverse).

Some good news at least.

The russians will do anything other than getting their house in order and rejecting genocidal imperialism.

It was brutal, there was a thick cloud of smoke over the city around 6 am.

Beyond double standards (which definitely exists, some perhaps on a subconscious level, some premeditated) there are also practical considerations with operating in Iran for foreign journalists (and their local handlers).

No, I don’t think you are racist for that comment alone (even if this is not a mere translation misunderstanding).

That being said TechTakes (awful.system) has lots of interesting content, but sometimes poor moderation principles.

I’ve seen them delete people’s comments on TechTakes for not fully agreeing with orthodoxy on a completely different instance. This was in context of a discussion side-thread about whether trans community in non-english-speaking countries would agree with every single initiative from the english-speaking trans community.

This is a trash-level source. Some of their news headlines:

NATO risks nuclear catastrophe with attack on Russian airports.

This wasn’t a NATO operation, it was a Ukrainian one and russia has “warned” about nuclear war at least for 50 times (they have a deep understanding of useful idiot types in the west).

I’m not sure that just dropping multiple bombs in the same spot wouldn’t work.

I have no clue whether this approach would or would not work. I am assuming the question would be how many times you need to drop bombs on the same location to target the facilities.

I was just going the info in the article saying that haven’t touched Fordow.

Sounds like the strike was significant, but not decisive. In particular, they can’t target the plant in Fordow.

If anything Israeli action reduces the likelihood of any deal and increases the possibility of the aytollahs quickly rebuilding nuclear infrastructure (article implies they have the capability) and going full nuclear.

I can’t speak for Lemmy, but I had a very different opinion on say things like prevalence of local corruption compared to the average American when I lived there (and this was under the second Bush and Obama, so not that recent).

I will admit, the US seems very far from “end is nigh” (I don’t mean this in a positive sense, it can get infinitely worse, I know from practical experience), but that doesn’t mean regressive tendencies aren’t broad and have deep roots (completely unrelated to Trump’s direct actions).

Again, treat this as a perspective of a foreigner who lived in the US for multiple years and visited regularly before COVID. Just an alternative perspective of sorts.

I thought I don’t know any modern rock/metal hits because I stopped listening popular music around 2005 or so. I guess my assumption was wrong.

But I also think 90s and early 2000s were probably the peak for the American music industry in terms revenue as share of cultural spend and in broader significance.

That being said it was a different time, I think there are less “hits” in terms of broad listening these days in general.
