Unite for rearmament, cuts in social spending and nuclear proliferation. And never mind the disinformation from diplomats and so called polsci experts saying that Russia had legitimate security concerns after US involvement in Maidan and NATO training Ukrainian troops since then. Forget what you've heard about how Nazi Germany used Ukraine as a launch pad for invading Russia and how in 2019 the Rand corporation dusted off that old strategy. Cover your ears for the well spoken poison, don't believe your lying eyes. It was they who blew up their own pipeline and main asset towards Europe. Sure the US is bad now, but it was oh so good before Trump. Von der Leyen is of the people and fixing things for working class Europeans. And the Baltics are of course level headed, a kind of political avant garde for the continent. It's like Stoltenberg said: peace through war. European unity now, never mind the missing clothes!

Worth seeing?

A masterpiece. Must-watch if you have kids.

For those who don't want to go the full *arr or debrid route, using the qbittorrent client with its built-in torrent search is a low effort way to circumvent having to visit torrent web sites.

Original, pretty and informative. 10/10.

Yes, stressful pacing and a disappointingly thin plot, unfortunately.

What? I love Arch, it's so god damn stable and fast.

Same experience as you. Always thought it would be better to be hosted by MLs than anarchocapitalists, megalomaniacs and whatever one would call Elon Musk. Seems like internal drama. I do see now some examples in this thread where for instance the french word for late gets removed, but not really a problem for me, actually it's a bit refreshing.

Doesn't this exact argument go for the few lemmy.ml eggs as well?

Thank you, that's true but doesn't catch the nuance of my argument. It doesn't need to be hate speech to have a chilling effect on public debate. Name-calling instead of actual political discourse, for instance.

I've been called many things but liberal or fascist are seldom among them. I do observe comrades who use those terms very lightly and in uncomeradely fashion though.

ITT: Excuse me. Are you the Judean People's Front?

F*** off! We're the People's Front of Judea

In reality, the pervasiveness of derogatories like that limit free speech. Of course, this goes the same for calling everyone one disagrees with a lib or fascist as well.

Did you know that Norway, Sweden, and Denmark all have laws against hate speech, harassment, and discriminatory expressions targeting protected groups. For instance, Norwegian law prohibits public statements that threaten or insult someone, or promote hatred based on factors like ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. At the same time they consistently top indices like the Reporters Without Borders' World Press Freedom index. I'm not saying that your comment is threatening or anything, but it doesn't seem very important to me to protect the right of someone to use a crude derogatory like "tankie" (a word with parallels to terms like "pinko" and "judeo Bolshevik").

Up to interpretation of course, but I'd say yes. Black dress, the handkerchief to the face and her posture point in that direction.

Last time I checked, there were other good ones as well. Any new kids on the block?

Joe Rogan is in German memes now?

Could you perhaps share any authors, works, blogs or whatever in English that critique Chinese politics in the manner you're describing?

Edit: Let me rephrase after having done some searching. If Marxists wanted non-Chinese government and non-CIA funded information about the conditions and struggles of Chinese workers, where would be a good place to find it?

Thank you for the interesting answer. But seeing as you had to actually live there to get this impression, aren't you being a bit strict on who's (adult) left? Between western and Chinese propaganda, and a lack of [access to] Chinese critical sources, I think it's incredibly hard to know what's what without actually visiting. I mean, you can read a lot of Marx, Lenin and Mao, as well as contemporary critical theory, development studies, political economy and so on, without feeling like you're able to get a clear view. I know I don't.
