  • i’m still convinced that .world was either a psyop or became a captured instance to ensure that as few defecting redditors join any of the pro-leftist instances as possible.

    it’s the only thing that explains why it was so heavily promoted on so many subreddits instead of lemmy.ml when it had nothing to offer at the beginning of the reddit protests and why there was a coordinated effort to defederat the leftist core instances throughout the lemmyverse.

    now piefed is getting that same treatment from reddit and they literally used the same pics as before, but edited out .world in favor of piefed

    it did a lot of harm before the party leaders learned how to control it and it led to occupy wall street style protests in the late 80’s which included the tiannamen square protest.

    that event forced the party to devise ways to neuter the harmful aspects of capitalism that were taking root in the country because of deng’s reforms and it’s been a continuous try/fail effort ever since.








  • same here; except i’m not a marxist (yet) and i’ve traded in my labor aristocracy slave status for a non-profit driven workplace that comes with union protections.

    watching my union get their collective ass handed to them by starbucks; and others; makes it’s clear that union protection doesn’t mean much, but it’s the best i think i can get in this country.

    americans’ collective disregard for thier government admitting to such extreme evils is a comedy enough and of the divine kind.

    i’m not religious, but i sometimes with i were true so that those evil people committing those acts and then lying about it would meet their comeuppance.
