They really perceive this as a game, and the libs are their cheerleaders. Here’s a hoping to a very nice [REDACTED] [CLASSIFIED] [REMOVED] to these shitty excuses of a [ERASED].

Fucking wild that Lemmy made it on mainstream news… of course it had to be some stormfrontian to get it to that stage…

lmfao fuckin losers 🤣

why lol…

Cool jingoist campfire story. Maybe just as cool as the other campfire story where the premise is that Russia bought the US as soon as Trump took the helm but somehow Russia sold it back when Team Blue was in charge.

Get a grip, lib.

right, but you get the idea

it’s not considered “sanctioned” until the International Community^tm deems it so!!!

Well said.

Countries that gravitated towards the Western tech ecosystem (whether willingly or otherwise) always get enveloped with seemingly no way out… the only way out is if they stopped rubbing shoulders with fucking Western digital landlords and move towards coming up with state-owned solutions…

but nah screw all that let’s just make WhatsApp and Instagram de facto mandatory to conduct most forms of business in West Asia and LATAM

Why the centre will not hold always fold

the person that replied to you already provided one of many examples that people in that position could do. The people that are oppressed, that don’t have the luxury of having a permanent roof over their heads (any makeshift camps eventually gets destroyed with the people in it as well by the entity), that have their children stolen from them, whether metaphorically or literally, or become orphaned themselves, etc etc don’t get to have a say in the matter.

To equate them to fucking flight attendants that are perfectly capable of taking even the most minimal of actions, which at worst case could get them a slap on the wrist, is absurd, disgusting and vile, lib.

Yeah but have you considered that they weep in sorrow and have minor migraines afterwards? Oh the pain and suffering these “hapless”, “choiceless” white collar workers have to go through!

On discussions around here about recommendations to alternative social media platforms and other digital services, there seems to be a growing presence of believers of European platforms, the platforms are vouched for not on the merit that the alternatives to US services themselves are good, functional and are independent of any state/private sector interests, but simply because the platforms are European, which is framed as “secure” and “sanitized” from any of that potential “bad stuff” we’ve witnessed (AI slop, helping the state to suppress activism, on one hand allowing freeze peach, which really just emboldens neonazis, on the other censors anything going against the interests of the West, etc).

I’m having difficulty to articulate this but… why move from one doghouse to another if all you cared about was the color of the roof?

“We’ve investigated ourselves and found no instances of wrongdoing”

And this vibes-based analysis is based on what exactly?

The enemy is both weak and strong.

The memory of this event has been holed. What’s that? Who’s this “Ukraine” you speak of?

The answer hasn’t ever changed:

Chinese students are “illegally gaining access to critical research and advanced technology”…by reading textbooks and carrying out research tasks in a lab that any student would anyways in any of the listed universities… Oh the horror!

fr… “bUy EuRopEaN” they say…

wait till they find out where most of the money that is handed over to their favorite European name brand go to… Oh wait, when they do bother to find out (unlikely), the best reaction they can muster is in the loose form of “Oh no! Anyway…”
