BRICS will probably accelerate when Trump comes to power and fucks up US foreign policy even more lol

It’s not, but anglosphere media will keep trying to portray it so lol

The projection is crazy, China isn’t Europe lmao

It’s also one of israel’s primary trading partners, despite its pro-Palestinian rhetoric.

Turkey halted its trade with israel in May of this year. Only due to internal pressure most likely — and far too late — but better than nothing, and it is another sign that the country is looking more and more towards the rising east than the declining west even under Erdogan.

India and China’s got as much variety as their population it seems. “Other” brands having a higher market share in China than the most used brand is interesting.

Also those colors suck.

Love how hard this article tries to portray this as a bad thing lmao

The US is so close to becoming full-on fascist that people there are starting to associate liberals of all people with the left

No communist, anarchist, or anyone lefty in general would ban a piracy community — short of getting in legal trouble or something, which is not what happened here.

Probably just using Texas_Hangover’s lack of logic against them

Nah I wouldn’t want Lemmy to attract anti-piracy bootlickers (specially considering why we left Reddit for Lemmy in the first place). This being the largest community is a good filter imo.

While he does seem to genuinely care about Russia — it was under his presidency that alot of the mass capitalist privatizations after the USSR’s overthrow were undone and life in Russia started to catch back up to what it was, though it remained capitalist — he’s still a liberal. I imagine that’s probably because of a mix of wanting to increase his chances of victory even a bit more, and because there’s no genuine leftist opposition in Russia right now that would actually improve it (all his genuine oppositions have been far-right so far).

All of whom are genocidal zionazis who can never go against the US gov’s imperialist interests.

The only US president who tried to do something half-decent, JFK, for wanting to abolish the CIA and giving an anti-imperialist speech titled “Imperialism: the Enemy of Freedom” to seemingly curtail the US’s invasions in foreign countries, made himself an enemy of both the political parties, and was thus assassinated by the CIA.

Political systems in the imperial core, specially in the US, only exist to protect capital and imperialism, while giving a thin veneer of “democracy”.

Btw, Putin has an approval rating of over 75% in Russia. Russia is much more of an actual liberal “democracy” than the US, where Trump won despite getting less votes.

An inevitable escalation in the war that started in 2014 with the US-backed fascist coup in Ukraine that goes against the interests and wishes of Eastern Ukrainians

and the subsequent killings of ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine, like Donbas, DPR, and LPR, by the coup gov for resisting.

I don’t support the invasion per se. In fact, its goal of suppressing fascism in western Ukraine seems to have kinda backfired from this after all, with the Ukraine gov using this as an excuse to suppress the left.

But the point is, what else could’ve they done? They’ve already tried to join NATO multiple times from even before the USSR’s overthrow and have been denied (since it’s an imperialist org whose entire purpose is to suppress socialism globally, and particularly Russia) and they already had the Minsk agreements which the US sidelined through the coup. Not doing something about it would lead to the continued killing of ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine, and NATO getting even closer to Russia since the post-2014 US puppet gov doesn’t abide by the Minsk agreements.

More accurate to say I support Russia’s role in geopolitics — as any working class person should — because their interests are broadly aligned with the Global South’s in ending the dictatorship that the US — and the Imperial core in general — has had on the rest of the world for the past century (it was mainly the UK before; it’s been the US since WW2).

While much of the economic and social progress the USSR had made has been undone with its overthrow and forced privatization and capitalism, Russia’s foreign interests have surprisingly remained in favour of the Global South (though unfortunately not as much; they stopped directly funding Vietnam, DPRK, and Palestinian resistance groups since it’s not profitable for capitalists). They’ve consistently supported Syria and Venezuela’s sovereignty against the US for example, and are a core part of BRICS.

unless you are on the side of the enemies of the US

You mean enemies of the US’s ruling class of capitalists, who are the working class’s allies.

“Your enemies are not our enemies.” - Nelson Mandela (who, btw, was on the US terrorist list until 2013 and is/was an enemy of the US. Was Nelson Mandela your enemy?)

It is always morally correct to pirate nintendo products.

Or anything by megacorps in general really

All instances should have the donation links at the top of the sidebar tbh, and an infographic or something to show how far along they are to paying for monthly server costs.

Assuming this isn’t a bit they would most definitely try and probably succeed in taking down any platform that poses a real threat to Capital^TM

But I doubt lemmy will get that massive anytime soon as cool as that would be lol

Well right now a user can already just message the admins about any problematic mod and let them decide so…

If lemmy.ml goes down, it will be a major annoyance as we migrate domains

I recommend lemmy.su for obvious reasons if that ever happens lol
