Maybe you could write a feature request on the Lemmy Repository for the ability to use other instance's emotes.

Fantastic video! Do keep in mind however, that Thunderf00t is a very socially and economically conservative person of which you should watch with caution. I mostly keep to watching his Elon dunk videos and his pseudo-scientific-Kickstarter de-legitimizing videos.

Had anyone else noticed a sharp uptick in military recruitment ads as of the past few days?

China's take on the Japanese government's handling of the situation, largely due to some of the isotopes they haven't filtered out. Particularly the strontium, iodine, and carbon variants. These have leaked into said wastewater due to the meltdown in several of Fukushima's reactors.

Didn't capitalism start 300-400 years ago? If I remember correctly, capitalism was born of the imperial nations of Europe (primarily Great Britain, France, and Spain), as private capital, now unrestricted from the guilds as under feudalism, expanded for increased control of their respective markets.

The United States, started only slightly after the major imperial powers of its day. In addition, it's geography blessed it with weak neighbors to the north and south, and fish to the east and west, allowing it to develop almost entirely unhindered from the risk of war destroying it's means of production. Furthermore, property rights were enshrined in its very constitution from start due to its status as one of the world's first a bourgeois democracies (widely believed to be the ideal circumstances for the development of capitalism). As such, the United States had one of the most mature capitalist economies in the world by this point. Even at this point it's form of capitalism is probably more mature than many capitalist nations in the third world are currently.

In all likelihood, the course of capitalism in the United States was reversed somewhat by a combination of anti-monopolistic legislation, an end to its pre-worldwar isolationist policies, and the introduction of new markets in the world economy due to need for many nations to rebuild after World War Two. As such, I think it reasonable to call this a consequence of a 1940s late stage capitalist economy.

Please note: The United States did not start out spanning the entire continent, but rather got their though roughly a century of brutal westward expansion and genocide. I apologize for my omission of this information.

To get around the paywall, the Bypass Paywall extension (Firefox and Chrome) works great!

Seconded from a (probably far worse) programmer.

You weren't an ML, but made some excellent communist content none the less. Hope they're alright.
EDIT: Upon looking around, I found their Patreon. It appears she's taking a brake from and or retiring from YouTube due to mental health complications.

Under the name @Academicproletarian he sent me this message:

Hey, comrade! I see you are an editor on ProleWiki, that's super great!

Let's get down to brass-tacks. I'm the Chief Commissar of the Internal Security Group of ProleWiki. I myself have banned millions of people from our great echo-chamber.

I've just been ordered personally by our great founder Forte to improve our page on Stalinism. It turns out that Stalinism, or more fully, Marxism—Leninism—Stalinism (MLS) really does exist as an ideology.

As such, he wants us to rewrite our incorrect page on Stalinism to indicate that it really does exist. He also told me to use this excellently-written writing on MLS as a reference. This writing was made by a genius pioneer of Wisconsinite Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist theory. Thus it is a VERY good source.

Thank you!

It seems that they're going after ProleWiki again, (in this case attempting to have the "Stalinism" page "corrected."

What side of the editor war do you lie? vi, Emacs, or maybe something newer like neovim, nano, or VS-Codium?

Just showing off my desktop. For those curious, I use the XFCE desktop, and ULauncher tied to the windows key. I'm also experimenting with animated wallpapers using hidimari.

As it turns out, the other day I was looking through recent edits on ProleWiki, and I found, under the social-media section of the ProleWiki page, I found a Youtube link.

Revisionist rats! I did nothing but good for your project, yet you banned me for my ideology in haste! I gave you many chances to unban me, I could have made thousands of edits, yet you rejected me. Now… you have forced me to go THERMONUCLEAR!

KYIV, UKRAINE—In a desperate plea for aid in the continued effort to expel his nation’s Russian occupiers, sources reported Friday that President Volodymyr Zelensky had called upon the United States to send a totally psycho marine to assist in Ukraine’s war effort. “You know, one of those expertly trained, one-man-army guys who carries an arsenal on his back and has killed so many people in combat he’s now cold, unfeeling, and completely insane—you gotta have at least one of those to spare, right?” said Zelensky, specifying that the ideal candidate would be a wild-eyed shirtless muscleman who functioned as a completely self-sufficient killing machine and could take out hundreds, if not thousands, of enemies all by himself. “In order to get the upper hand against Russia, we’re going to need your most batshit, balls-to-the-wall ex-special-forces guy. He’ll have a crazy name like Razor or Bloodhound or something, and he’ll always be blacking out and waking up covered in blood with a whole village dead around him. If he has a personal score to settle with the Russians, that’s great, but the most important thing is that he just kills and kills and kills and kills—sometimes using a cherished hunting knife that belonged to a fallen comrade, even though a gun would be faster. Honestly, he can kill a few Ukrainians too, if he wants, just so long as he gets the job done.” At press time, the U.S. Marine Corps had reportedly agreed to send “the craziest motherfucker” it had, just as soon as he had applied his face paint, donned a necklace of severed human ears, and stopped in for chest wax.

User messaged me with a link to Wisconsom's website with some sort of plan regarding some sort of plan to overthrow ProleWiki.
The exact text is as such:

From ComradeW

Greetings, comrade.

I see you’re an editor on ProleWiki, that is great! I am interested in ProleWiki myself.

I found this interesting source of history for ProleWiki, and I also heard of this newly-formed group of ProleWiki editors looking to improve the project. Maybe this could help you become a better editor. Do you think it is accurate?

Thanks you.

I remember watching a video from The Young Hegelian Youtube channel some time back regarding how the United States inspired Nazi Germany, but it seems to have been removed or privated sense then.

As such, I'm wondering if anyone kept a backup of the video, or knows of a mirror I can find it on?
