A historic day of solidarity with Palestine — stay in the streets!
  • You got an answer, it's just not one you like, so you keep asking. Or do you not understand that Ukraine has been shelling it's own people since 2014, and the people of the Donbass asked Russia for help?

  • Critical support for Vaush's fight against his fan base
  • Stopped clock and all that

  • Fuck NYC bourgeois mayor Eric Adams!!
  • Hate is when you protest in defense of a historically oppressed people from colonizers.

  • A historic day of solidarity with Palestine — stay in the streets!
  • Israelis have been celebrating the deaths of Palestinians for years. Fuck your moral posturing.

  • Has anyone noticed how some liberals are disgustingly trying to equate the Palestinean struggle with Ukraine?
  • Maybe Ukraine shouldn't have been killing innocent civilians for eight years and Russia wouldn't have had to intervene, not difficult to understand 🙌🏿

  • Because these are the sweetest compliments 🥰😘
  • WE NEED TO RECLAIM WOKE FROM THE CRACKERS

  • Japan will start releasing treated radioactive water this week.
  • It's insane to me that the only country hit by a nuclear weapon would do this. Like absolutely insane.

  • the maoist international movement goes right out of spite
  • It's why I dub them Reactionary Today. Useful for reading about geopolitics and as an alternative news source but they have straight up fascists in their comment sections.

  • Reviving this old PMD meme on Lemmy
  • How have I never seen this before omfg 💀

  • the maoist international movement goes right out of spite
  • tankies defend Russia cause it's not the US

    We certainly criticize them for not being a workers state and their reactionary tendencies towards queer people, if this is talking about the SMO again then once again they're just ignorant.

  • I think I might have autism. Is there a point to seeking a formal diagnosis? Are there any major drawbacks? (Canada)
  • I don't know anything about Canada's laws regarding this topic specifically but I do know that self diagnosis is valid (I'm also self dx autistic!), and that neurotypical people usually don't suspect they're autistic at all.

    Personally I'm not seeking an official dx cause there aren't any resources for autistic adults in the US.

  • Check Out The Community Notes
  • Yeah that's not what imperialism means, and trying to add context with wikipedia articles? Embarrassing, man

  • The dumbest man alive
  • Hey libs, how about instead of downvoting you just engage with the fucking post?

    You think you're right, then fucking prove it.

  • The dumbest man alive
  • but it has seemed to work a bit better than other systems actually tried regardless.

    Bruh what? Tell that to the millions of homeless and sick people dying from preventable diseases every year, suffering from the constant economic crises that happen every 5-7 years, to the people where privitization has destroyed any semblance of function in public services.

  • What terrorist attacks have Russia committed? Funding of terrorist groups?

  • Ok this one wins the month
  • This is literally people's understanding of the conflict and nothing more. They're glad to repeat this lie over and over because they don't need to think that maybe their government is lying to them.

  • See, communism doesn’t work
  • Wow you sure showed us.

  • U.S. Presidency requests another $24 billion in aid for Ukrainian régime despite public opposition
  • The question was what they should have done, you haven't answered it.

    Politics in Pokémon

    I love Pokémon, it's my special interest, I've been playing since Gen 1 and have pretty extensive knowledge about the Pokémon world.

    However since becoming a communist I've realized that a lot of things are missing from the world, including basic functions on how everything works. Just the presence of police implies there are laws that have to be enforced, which in turn implies people write those laws, etc. We know that there was an industrial revolution, which led to capitalism, being the economic system in all Pokémon regions, meaning all of the contradictions that come with it. There was a war that took place, as alluded to by Lt. Surge, who might actually be from Unova.

    In the manga there's the Pokémon Association (PA), a legislative body that determines the laws involving Pokémon, similar to Congress here in the U.S., with each region apparently having its own PA.

    In the anime they have the Pokémon Inspection Agency (PIA) that inspects Gyms to see if they're up to par.

    They don't explicitly talk about politics and political views (obviously because the series is marketed to kids) but I think exploring these mechanisms could be really interesting, if not for the fact that Pokémon adds another layer to politics because they're creatures with a material effect on the world.

    Some people might be more left leaning when it comes to economics and social issues, but might be more right leaning when it comes to trainer regulations.

    I'm curious to know what other people think, I'm actually writing a story that explores some of these themes so I'd love to get some ideas!

    Socialist Worldbuilding @lemmygrad.ml Nocturne Dragonite @lemmygrad.ml

    Anyone else using ChatGPT to assist with world building?

    Basically title. I've found it's a very useful tool that is only as good as how you use it. Of course I've run into some issues with it trying to impose certain ideals on my stories (like claiming there are "core values and themes" in the Pokémon world when in reality it's no different than our world), but aside from these little hiccups I've been in the process of building new stories from already existing universes (i.e. Naruto, Pokémon, Persona).

    I'd like to hear if anyone else has been doing the same, or if they have any tips for using ChatGPT as well.

    How visible can I be?

    I'm an artist/music producer and I'm wary of the whole security state so I have a hard time reconciling the contradiction of needing to make money under capitalism and also my political views, cause making money doing what I'm doing requires some degree of visibility. Are there any extra steps I should take to ensure that I'm not "too visible" so to speak? I don't think it's avoidable at all and the solution is probably to somewhat hide my power level.

    I need to leave reddit for good

    It's a liberal cesspool full of people who refuse to listen when you speak. I explained how the SMO in Russia was justified going all the way back to fucking WWII and Stepan Bandera to Russia not wanting Ukraine in NATO and some dickhead told me to "tOuCH gRaSS". Didn't even address any of my points, just that "dEnAziFIcaTioN iSnT a gOoD rEasOn, iT's aS bAd aS wMDs".

    Fucking moron. I hate that fucking place so fucking much.
