And remember piracy isn’t even theft, no matter how much they try to frame it as such 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

yes <3

We are all rats on this blessed day

The comic is about the news reframing bad stuff said about trans people to not obviously be about us, and my comment is pointing out that I don’t often see this but rather see news gleefully fuel the anti-trans fire.

Edit: in fact your linked article is a great example. it specifically uses transphobic dogwhistles and uses languages that creates sympathy for the transphobes yelling about people minding their own business.

Edit 2.0: It occurs to me that you maybe thought I didn’t think there was much transphobia being pushed by the news these days, but by “this” I mean what the comic is saying and not what I am saying.

I dunno, most news sites seem pretty good at spreading anti trans propaganda on their own, usually quoting transphobes verbatim and even using their language when not quoting them.

Edit: Perhaps this was more correct some years ago

Yeah… :/ Name a more iconic combo than centrism and nazi apologia

I’m sorry but there are plenty of tankies on lemmy. I don’t frequent .world much, and I assume there aren’t a lot there, but more leftist parts of lemmy unfortunately have a very real problem with tankies.

Yeah that’s fine, I meant whitewashing as in denying that lemmy has a tankie problem. I don’t claim you are a tankie or anything like that.

This community does not allow tankies, platforming tankies, or whitewashing tankies. Lemmy has an actual tankie problem given that the actual devs are tankies and their servers are filled with tankies.

The comments in that post were filled with a lot of defense of authoritarianism and as such it was removed because I am very very tired of tankies who absolutely love worming their way into leftist spaces and talk about how all states are auth and about leftist unity while denying genocides, imperialism, defending oppressing workers rights, and other human rights abuses. Can they please stop posting here. The banner literally says fuck tankies.

Edit: Which is to say I removed it because it was clearly not correct as evidenced by the comments in that post. I could have replied or something but there were a lot of comments to deal with.

It’s literally led by a billionaire businessman that markets with make czechia great again hats.

The party’s ideological character is contested by political scientists, though it is widely considered to be populist in nature. After being formed predominantly as an anti-corruption vehicle, the party has at different times been considered centrist, liberal, conservative, right-wing, social democratic[17] or centre-left[18] by different commentators, leading to a further characterisation as a syncretic or catch-all party. Since the 2024 European Parliament election, the party has positioned itself to the right, co-founding Patriots for Europe, a group in the European Parliament that is made up of Eurosceptic parties that primarily adhere to national conservatism and right-wing populism.

From wikipedia.

The czech wikipedia mentions donations from big companies and vague promises. They are for cutting taxes which is a common right wing populist thing. They also do seem to be in favor of investing in infrastructure and such, at least in 2017, but my understanding is they have moved more to the right.

He’s also pro trump which makes him automatically right wing in my eyes.

While in the past the movement has publicly presented as liberal, during recent years[23] it has intensified the national-conservative direction, which also consists in the fact that some of the more liberal members of the movement have gradually abandoned, or also in the fact that the ANO movement has become a member of a European faction composed mainly of conservative parties.[ 24][25][26][27] While in the past the movement supported the adoption of the euro, correspondence, same-sex marriage, ratification of the Istanbul Convention or the Green Deal for Europe, recent years have been rather negative about the topics mentioned.[29][30][31][32] The former European Commissioner Věra Jourová,[33] the Emeritus Mayor of Brno Petr Vokřál[34] and the Emeritus Moravian-Silesian Governor Ivo Vondrák represented the Liberal Wing.[33] 35] Among the more liberal members of the movement are MP Robert Králíček, the Minister of Justice Emeritus Helena Válková, the MP Jana Pastuchová and the mayor of Zlín Jiří Korec,[36] rather conservative positions are held by the MP Aleš Juchelka,[37] MEP Milan Brázdil, the Minister Emeritus of Finance Alena Schillerová[38] and the MP Patrik Nacher. 39]

ANO is a right wing populist party

I was so stoked to see HoMM but then it had to be AI :(

That’s not true

?? I am saying that the people who believe in equality also mean equity and justice. Other people who have been conditioned to hate equality misinterpreting it as only being the first image is the thing that annoys me.

I hate the original so much :P

No one who wants equality means that they blindly want to treat people as if they are cardboard copies of each other

Please. Yes ofc the dems are to blame. They suck. And ofc they will lead to fascism down the line. Let’s just not make things worse than they have to in the moment.

One post implied voting blue was voting for fascism, implying you shouldn’t for the dems in the US. My point is that this is shortsighted and harmful. People should vote for the dems unless a third party is a viable alternative, they should also build up third parties to make them viable options, and they should also join political orgs and unionize, and do direct action.

Ofc more than voting is needed, but the republicans are causing more harm than the dems would have by miles and contributing to more voter apathy is not the answer.

Phrased like that it sounds super sinister 👀
or maybe just dramatic?

He did in an earlier post posted shortly before this one, and the title seems to reinforce this. The image itself doesn’t.

What I’m saying is that not voting is foolish, not that voting is the only thing that should be done. In fact I’m saying that other things should be done. We clearly agree, I just think it is harmful to spread anti voting rhetoric because while it can’t fix things it is still a meaningful thing that can be done with immediate consequences for many.
