Technology@lemmy.ml•BiliBili - Popular chinese video streaming site - going global creating competition to youtube
23·27 days agoFinding an unbiased take on China’s treatment of the Ughyurs is neigh impossible. However, reading Chinese law involving the state’s legal definition of extremism does not inspire much confidence.

(7) Wearing, or compelling others to wear, burqas with face coverings, or to bear symbols of extremification
Did the French infiltrate the Chinese government? A lot of the attitudes towards Ughyurs really is reminiscent of the Western attitudes towards the Natives in the Americas. The Europeans saw themselves as culturally superior and civilized, so they took it upon themselves to “educate” the indigenous. Do you believe that there exists any peoples that are truly above some sort of exceptionalism, or is this false pride just a part of human nature?
Granted, even the video linked and its evidence were from five years ago. Lots might have changed since then.
It was the recommended instance back when the reddit exodus happened.
It was because of the exodus, that ‘.world’ became the recommended instance. We had to keep the redditors in containment.

Palestine@lemmy.ml•‘Israeli’ soldiers near Gaza border report activity “just like October 7”
5·1 month agoBecause ‘israel’ isn’t real.
This might sound harmless but the site mods have actually spent several years claiming that democratic party Zionists are leftists, & painting anyone who disagrees with them as a chud. They still maintain that burning the Israeli flag is vaguely antisemitic.
Would anyone from Hexbear like to chime in and tell me whether this is true? Do you or the Hexbear mods actually believe that burning the flag of the nation state founded & perpetuated by rapists, murderers, and thieves is vaguely racist against Jews?

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Edward Snowden interview: 'Smartphones can be taken over' by GCHQ using activation programs
1·1 month agoThat makes sense. It definitely takes a certain kind of privilege to be able to live with and afford such a blissfully ignorant stance.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Edward Snowden interview: 'Smartphones can be taken over' by GCHQ using activation programs
1·2 months agoI see that now. Maybe my bar for decency is too low because as non-ideal ignorance may be, at least they admitted it and just focused on Israeli spyware.
Had it stopped there, I would have said the other initial responses were a tad unnecessarily harsh, but then the OP commenter dropped some real shitter takes.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Edward Snowden interview: 'Smartphones can be taken over' by GCHQ using activation programs
0·2 months agoI am not the original commenter. This comment asking “why” was before the OP commenter “both-sides” the genocide with “muh khamas”.
At the time, OP commenter was just talking about Israeli spyware using BDS as a source while also letting us know they are uninformed about the genocide and thus don’t have a stance. My understanding was that this was to deflect any criticism or accusations from Zionists for being biased.
While it is not ideal, there are a million reasons why someone may be ignorant on a conflict, atrocity, phenomenon, etc. It could be willfull ignorance, it could be that their environment does everything possible to keep them ignorant; regardless, until I know the reason, I cannot judge them.
What matters to me more is how they act with said ignorance. In this case, they initially said they are very poorly informed aka “I don’t know”. Instead of talking about what they don’t know (genocide, settler-colonial conflict, Zionism, etc), they only spoke about what they do know (Israeli spyware).
I think this is fine, especially since those who know they are ignorant and refuse to speak on what they don’t know are generally open to learn or have any misconceptions corrected. I also have very low expectations of Amerikkkans from the land of the burger, home of the fries.
This all is to say, this is why I was asking “why”. My mind was focused on the spyware, and I was wondering why another commenter didn’t like it. Was the information inaccurate?
Since then, a lot of other commenters responded–I now understand why they take issue with the OP comment, though I believed the initial responses were unnecessarily harsh. However, the OP commenter, despite knowing full well their ignorance, dropped the “muh khamas” shitter nuke, so…

World News@lemmy.ml•How children in West Bank are being killed by Israel ‘without accountability’
7·3 months agoMohammad died in hospital, one of 235 Palestinian children and teenagers killed by Israeli forces on the West Bank – plus another five killed by settlers themselves – since 7 October 2023. That date marked the start of the Gaza war, triggered by a Hamas attack on southern Israel which killed about 1,200 Israelis (of which about 800 were civilians and 38 were children).
I love how every liberal zionist outlet keeps emphasizing this and spewing the same exact bullshit, line for line.
Just state since October 7th. Majority of civilians killed were casualties of Israel’s Hannibal Doctrine. Also, the gall to call this “The Gaza War”, when Zionists have been attacking all of Palestine the moment they’ve arrived during Mandate. If not through rape, murder, and theft, then by demolitions, kidnappings, and settlements. Nonstop oppression since day 0.

World News@lemmy.ml•Colombian President Petro Accuses Israel of Election Interference, Demands Full Recount
1·3 months agoI remember reading that the initial election had a much larger gap at 600k with Ivan Cepeda leading. That gap being narrower in the run-off at 200k with Abelardo de la Espriella in the lead is very suspicious.

Palestine@lemmy.ml•Pregnant and imprisoned: Palestinian women face harsh conditions in Israeli jails
1·3 months agoIsrael says Karaja is being held on suspicion of incitement based on social media posts, a vague charge frequently used against Palestinian women prisoners. She remains in detention pending trial.
Arrested over social media posts. Shitraelis are really fearful everything. . . as they should be. May they never no peace.
Finally. . . some good news for once!

3·3 months agoThat may be true, but you yourself do not. Our race, class, and background explain how we came to be, but they do not define us; our choices do. You chose to be against oppression and injustice even if it meant sacrificing many comforts. Keep your chin up.

World News@lemmy.ml•A Gaza father recounts how Israeli soldiers killed his three-year-old son in his arms and mocked him
2·3 months agoI was sort of hinting at that. There were a few examples of that in the quiz listed, but it seems that website is down.





















That is just killings against communists. That is not equal to killings under capitalist states.
Injustices such as the Ludlow would not fall under the former as the victims were not communists. They were workers seeking better wages and conditions under a capitalist system.
