I wonder if Poole has done any interesting interviews on the intersection of 4chan and the modern fascist propaganda machine it bred.

Permabanned here - my crime was to evade ban (inadvertently, with 2nd account commenting in r/Conservatives), say Russian orcs should be killed, and that Reddit was (partially) owned by the CCP and operating in the interest.

Idgaf what anyone thinks about me saying that Russian culture is shit and the world will not know peace until that culture is defeated in war, because it’s fucking true.

I haven’t been able to find active non-political or geographically relevant communities on Lemmy, and not sure how to.

Excellent set of resources - ty for posting them

Did you see the vid where he thinks Spain is the S in BRICS?!

Wat

Wait - so this is the CCP directly censoring a whole worldview from its citizens.

But I was told on several lemmy threads that the CCP lets their users consume any content, and all the censorship is American propaganda to make the great leader look bad.

Why is it a different product then? Does it allow the same content? Same algorithm?

Or is it different, and not an actual carbo copy?

I think this is spot on for many

Added to my Libby queue - I love our public library system

“Competition is for losers” lecture by Peter Thiel at Stanford lays out very clearly that none of these mfers actually wants competition once they dominate an industry.
