No wonder they love Ruzzia so much, probably because they threaten us with nukes that can totally singlehandedly launch Florida into orbit (source: trust me bro) on a daily basis (to the point that between them, Iran and now Israel nuke threats are now meaningless) and suddenly want a state from us that would give them thousands of gays to kill and put them on Seattle’s doorstep (so just one Trump-like president away from tech secrets and even deadlier homophobic killing sprees for them!), now that it’s becoming a frozen Saudi Arabia sans enslaved desis/gay-defenestratings

Claim to be left-wing, but kick all of that to the curb to lick the boots of any far-right extremist faction that promises to conquer and erase a vexing pro-Western neighbor- Ruzzia, Hamas, etc.

The Moon’s daytime is half a month long and can reach 120 C so we’d need some pretty powerful heat shielding. And there’s no ozone layer to protect the electronics from radiation, and I’m pretty sure the Moon orbits outside of Earth’s magnetosphere. And the shielding used for such a project could also be used to fix climate change here (and terraform Venus later) with orbital parasols. And whatever unimaginable technology we’d need for such an ambitious project may as well be used to run a grid of electromagnets and power lines across Mars to give it a magnetic field

I hope we can build one that can use hydrogen fusion like the sun; such an energy source would make an excellent power source, even if small

It always perplexes me whenever I see far-left american students excusing Putin (a far-right dictator who even wants a state from us), conservative gay men A) existing and B) supporting Trump, transgenders licking Stalin’s boots and ultra-Orthodox Jews in New York joining forces with the far-right because they’re both lobbying to make being trans illegal and think such politicians are Israel’s friends when in reality they’re just selfishly using it to fulfill their doomsday prophecy. Guys, they won’t and historically haven’t hesitated to throw y’all in camps on day one after getting what they want.

Not enough guns, and where are the runways?

I’m vividly aware of that second one, as an atheist. On social media I’ve seen posts by atheists who were once Muslim, they told such depressing stories of hiding, of trying to save up to move to Western Europe or North America. Gays too, and for them it’s even harder since all it takes is hungrily eyeing one cute guy by mistake for the game to be up as they prepare to run. And in college I once met a gay from Saudi Arabia who quietly deconverted (became an atheist) from Islam and later escaped to the US using that university (hopefully he has citizenship, a green card or something), I once overheard him talking about how scared he felt around followers of his former faith.

Yeah I know, I mean as a bisexual I get not liking old Bibi and the IDF for what they’re doing to Gaza (even though Tel Aviv is the San Francisco of the middle east while in Palestine they fucking defenestrate us, which of course still doesn’t make Israel’s actions in Gaza or West Bank right), but to not only openly simp far-right terrorist groups while of course fantasizing about genocide which is these people’s personal hobby, but even wokewash them and pretend they don’t go against your own interests…

Or unironically use such imaginative and devastating insults as “Amerikkka”/“Imperial Core” (USA), “The Empire” (NATO), “Ukronazi”, or “Isntreal” towards countries they don’t like and want genocided

They actually believe that?!

The “Jewish” part aged like a fine wine, the American far-left now openly endorses antisemitism. They’re even arguing that all Israelis are “settler-colonialists” (they clearly have no clue about its actual history and just assume it was all like West Bank) and that DA JOOZ in the West use the banks for “exploitative capitalism”

“NOOOOOO the Amerikkkan Imperial Core™ just helped Ukkkraine™ win with their capitalistic imperialist fascist liberal gay Jewish-Isntreal™-settler-colonialist interference, now all those poor Ukronazis™ will never be free now that The Empire (NATO) wants them! I hate my country so much, we are so imperialistic! How many Russian, Chinese, North Korean, Belarusian, Cuban, Venezuelan and Palestinian dicks should I suck to atone for this?! AND RUSSIA JUST HAD A COUP AND IS A CRINGE DEMOCRACY LIKE THE EMPIRE NOOOOO THEY’RE GONNA UNBAN PRIDE PARADES EEEEWWWW”

Circle theory is real

Yes comrade, and the month after that Putin, having completely taken over Ukraine somehow and then inevitably sent its whole population on a one-way trip to Siberia, will use his icebreaker fleet and what’s left of his navy to liberate Alaska’s 5 ethnic Russians, immediately decimating our they/them army before they even get there by simply being straight so that within mere hours they secure the entire state and, after inevitably wiping out the native Alaskans and all of Anchorage’s gays, hold a free and fair referendum where 109% of the remaining population votes to form the Alyeska People’s Republic. Then they’ll somehow sneak past the narrow and well-guarded Puget Sound without getting hit by missiles from a mountain or running aground in the fog and then create the Sietl People’s Republic (all without having their cheap uniforms soaked in the rain and dying of pneumonia), gobbling up all those tech and airplane manufacturing secrets (so we can finally see actual innovation without capitalistic monopolies yay!) and going on yet another homophobic killing spree, this time spanning several cities. The PNW shall be free from capitalistic US tyranny!!!1

Meanwhile, China will claim that since Hawaiians are descended from Taiwanese aborigines, it historically owns Hawaii; the american-mainland-hating locals will defs be on board with another continental imperialist stealing their land and turning it into a state-sized tourist resort again- this time peppered with a few boarding schools and sterilizations. It will be the beginning of the end for the American Empire™, I can’t wait!

YES!!! .world being based as usual. And to see that person having such an insecure meltdown over a network of linked forums that nobody posts on is just so pathetic. And LOL at the 500 Palestine flags, further proving that their celebration of Israeli kids lying dead in their country’s southwest is what sunk them. Did a Jew fuck that lemmygrad OP’s girlfriend once?

So… basically, all this time I’ve been using what started out as an alt-left version of Truth Social?

While this does explain a LOT, I’m still gonna keep using Lemmy since a lot of good has definitely come out of it too (think the antique memes, c/nostupidquestions and the one-user art c/‘s), and unlike Reddit it’s open-source, so even the corrupt programmers lack complete control over it; every instance is merely a reflection of the person who made it. And at least .world has somewhat saner people, which is probably why its native user accounts outnumber ml ones nearly 4:1. What are they gonna do, double-block this community from ml?

I actually remember that one youtuber describing it as a “poverty cult”

And literally believe in the end of days as something desirable

America 200 years ago: Steal land from native peoples and then kill, sterilize and oppress them, putting their children in concentration camps where they’re forced to give up their religions, languages and cultures

Lemmy devs: THEY’RE STILL EVIL! FASCIST THIS FASCIST THAT!!! AAAAAAH I HATE MY COUNTRY SO MUCH WE ARE SO GENOCIDAL AND RACIST! HOW MANY RUSSIAN AND CHINESE DICKS SHOULD I SUCK TO ATONE FOR THIS?

China today: Steal land from native peoples and then kill, sterilize and oppress them, putting their children in concentration camps where they’re forced to give up their religions, languages and cultures

Lemmy devs: UNBELIEVABLY BASED!

Burgerland? Wow, this is just sad. That person probably doesn’t go outside often. Good thing that unlike the site that must not be named, this is FOSS so it’s a lot harder for them to ban the /c’s outside of ml and lemmygrad they disagree with unlike the tankie admins on that site.
