- Comment on Nepal decides to ban TikTok 1 year ago:
I would have thought this was common knowledge. I suspect these redditors just don’t put any effort into recall or thinking in general.
- Comment on Nepal decides to ban TikTok 1 year ago:
No you dimwit. I read the papers. Normal people do do that. Dimwit.
- Comment on Nepal decides to ban TikTok 1 year ago:
Will they ban Facebook which facilitated a genocide?
- Comment on YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers 1 year ago:
Could Nebula work as a Patreon-competitor. Patreon as a company is totally fucked iirc - the investors are treating the company like a piggy bank, which is a shame because it is easily a profitable and viable company.
- Comment on YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers 1 year ago:
Friendlyjordies (main and podacast), Hello Future Me, Louis Rossman, Tom Nicholas, Abroad in Japan, Crunchycat, James Tullos, stephen tries, sidemen, rachel and jun, jun’s kitchen, healthygamergg are a bunch off my watch later list.

What innovation! Digital shrinkflation! Otherwise known as a scam.
- Comment on Avatars cannot be uploaded no matter how small 1 year ago:
I’m not an admin though, one of them can tell you what exactly they’re doing atm, tbh, I don’t know what their plans are either.
- Comment on Avatars cannot be uploaded no matter how small 1 year ago:
I think they’ve been disabled temporarily because of the child abuse material that got spammed - thankfully, I never saw that stuff, but the mods and admins had to…
- Comment on Witch-hunting in 17th-century Scotland was so well paid that it attracted some blatant fakers – Susan Morrison 1 year ago:
You’ll notice they use the phrase ‘blatant fakers’, not just fakers.
@pelletbucket@lemm.ee , yes.

- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
Also just wrong, since both Jewish Zionists and Nazis were inspired by European colonialism. (Important to note there are Christian Zionists out there, and the original British Upper Class Christian Zionists basically just wanted the Jews out of Europe).
- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
Well, I wasn’t criticising you personally. I was adding some important, interesting and peculiar context.
Don’t you find it wierd that Israelis were more interested in weakening a disciplined left secular party and inviting corrupt terrorists to power instead? I mean obviously, if Palestine ever were to be free, the business class don’t want them to be left secular nor independant.
Personally I don’t think Hamas should be compared to fascists, the term obscures the unique problems in the Middle East between different factions, who fall in and out of favour with the chief meddler in the region (US). But it doesn’t really matter.
- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
Land is what’s at stake, when people are removed from their land or displaced, that constitutes genocide, keeping them under a seperate set of law while favouring Jews is apartheid (literally worse than South Africa, because the whites actually needed low wage workers while Israelis just carry on killing).
All of that comes under settler-colonialism, but certainly nationalism is part of the domestic agenda.
- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
Yeah, that’s why Mossad funded them. If they were Islamist, they’d be easier to control like the Saudis and friends.
- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
I’ll add that this conflict is not a religious conflict. Religion adds some heat but it is fundamentally about settler colonialism, theft of land, racism and apartheid.
Arafat, their previous leader was literally a Christian, not Muslim. And Hamas, an Islamist organisation was literally funded by the Mossad against the PLO (Arafat’s organisation). What Israel faced is literally their own fault - it’s blowback like how the US got 911ed by the Saudis they funded.
- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
You can message the mods. Sunaurus is a sound guy.
- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
Interesting question.
Would you mind stating your personal political bias if you have one in regard to tis conversation?
- Comment on Hamas, federation and legality 1 year ago:
They even put the Palestinians in ghettos. Wonder what that harks back to?

- Comment on The truth about Canada 1 year ago:
Are you denying that Canada is a colonial project?
- Comment on The truth about Canada 1 year ago:
I’m describing the ‘highlights’ in the book you illiterate. What’s difficult to understand?
Canada is a state, its not possible to hate-crime Canada you twat.
- Comment on The truth about Canada 1 year ago:
Hitler’s American model describes Hitler’s dreams to match the power of the colonial powers of the day, Britain and France. But his inspiration came from the colonies themselves. In this book the American legal realist systems with regard to race is explored, rather than canadian systems, but clearly Canada is not very different in that regard.
Some highlights:
- The Nazis found that the one-drop rule was too harsh - (only because mixed Jews were somewhat white-passing whereas mixed Black people couldn’t pass and remained legally Black).
- Manifest Destiny inspired Lebensraum (probably Canada and Australia too).
- Nazi Race Law/Blood laws and second class citizenship laws for Jews were inspired by similar laws in the US.

On the topic of unmarked graves, a good essay: lemm.ee/post/10348169 - aeon.co/…/we-must-not-forget-what-happened-to-the…
And the standing ovation and subsequent apologism for an SS volunteer not withstanding.
- Comment on How the fall of the Roman empire paved the road to modernity | Aeon Essays 1 year ago:
Try going there several times and it should work. I think it may be that the first time anybody connects from another instance to a ‘foreign’ community, it takes time. Given your instance is smaller, newer and literature focused it just means you might be the first person from the instance entering the sub.
This may be the case for many other communities you try and access, so keep an eye out for this.
I’ve just managed to access by spamming it over a minute or two.
- Comment on How the fall of the Roman empire paved the road to modernity | Aeon Essays 1 year ago:
That’s a shame (and wierd). I’m pretty sure I’ve spoken to the guy who made the literature.cafe instance on either lemm.ee or dot world. I’ll see what’s happened.
