Exactly, we should assume that any international representation is not transparent

Blading. Trump could’ve easily razored his own ear open like wrestlers do.

Sad and yet not surprising as the external influence achieved the shift to the right

Lurking this thread and chiming in, but I don’t know. Is it because of accelerationism? A faster collapse is quite harmful to many

I’m sorry this instance has problematic relationships with some capitalist overlords being favoured but you are correct.

I’ll try to see if I catch examples happening

Sources like The Guardian, Reuters, Telegraph, CNN, BBC are sometimes allowed and sometimes removed on rule 1.

The latter case is usually evident while lurking and finding a deep long comment thread. Sometimes one user there has deleted messages and there’s another’s rule 3 content comments left. Apparently these cases seem to usually be mutual rule 3 but it looks like they’re treated differently.

It is somewhat opaque how sometimes the rules apply and sometimes they don’t, like news sources on rule 1, and iirc rule 3 in general. Deleting content should have the mod informing the user and the rest community what happened and have a way for the users to manage mistakes, be it either accidental rule breaks by the user or wrongful modding.

So was Russia and it was supposed to be untouchable. Now they’re in a war economy and losing resources

Maybe it’s like a “takes one to know one” situation, as both the USA and China meddle in the Middle-East and Africa with an infantilizing attitude.

Good ideas. Blocking actually only hides content from the user, it doesn’t lead to admin action.

I’ve joined this instance because of the rules and the communist lean

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.

Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.

However it’s clear that the worldnews modding rotten. Fascist/xenophobic/antisemite users have their posts alive while those who call them out get hidden or even banned.

As it is the main news community of the instance, I understand how it can be seen as an instance issue instead of user preference to use some smaller community.

Global press really. It’s been fascist ever since everywhere

Tsar was gone by something like the purges in 30s

Yea lol, every other day it’s that “collapse imminent” and every other time it’s “turning around and winning everything”

The Red Scare is a more like side goal because communism threatens oligarchies. The Soviet Union also had its hand in persecuting communists.

Yeah it’s true that even though the term West/western is so varying, it is difficult to include Russia in.

But the point of imperialism rising is valid, US might be losing grasp but Russia and China are grabbing what they can to oppress as well.

And during the prohibition, black market flourished. The business will always be there. The question is do you support organized crime or do you support taxing to cover harm reduction and safety for people (buying from non-criminal sources, tested product etc)

Currently your stance is to provide money for organized crime

How ok would it actually be for other countries to agree to remove one somehow… there’d be few on the same list if Israel would become a precedent

Let’s not forget that Hungary is aligned with China in addition to Russia and Israel
