The beam of light could also be "5 mao per comment."

Imagine, you are the reason that your own country's worth went down 75% in 8 years and you are like... "I can fix this... I need more time"

8 years? Phhht. Liz Truss wants you to hold her lettuce.

That reference will follow her until her grave I hope.

Weird, I could've sworn it was the embargos that caused that.

Fuck authoritarianism. I don’t care if you’re on the left or right. If your ideology is authoritarian I won’t suppoet you.

It's only "imperialism" if it comes from a western country, otherwise it's sparkling authoritarianism.

Funny. I encountered exact the same thing a few hours ago in post where somebody called South Korea occupied.

Of course I was first downvoted and then banned after I was pointing out some things. They really don’t like the word „tankie“ on Lemmy.ml…

I don’t mind being banned, I wear it as a badge of honour. But they are cowards and hypocrites, which is rather sad.

The mods and admins are truly fragile cowards, it is remarkable. Being banned from .ml is badge of honor which they hand out like candy.

Look into East Germany right now. People who experienced a pseudosocialist dictatorship, where Putin was stationed as a KGB officer, will now lick Putin's boots. Apparently they want to be controlled by Moscow again.

It's pathetic.

Yes, and sad. Eastern Germany is really beautiful, it could be such a nice part of the country.

Maybe something failed to deliver for the people there that made them lose faith in Western institutions?

Some quality of life factors that didn't appear in the metrics we track? An overall shift in role or relevance?

If you're not connecting with an audience, there's more to fixing it than berating said audience and acting surprised when they're not interested in what you're pushing.

Ignorance is bliss, it apparently is due in part to how western news is not filtered, or at least is filtered differently ðan in ð soviet days, and is as a result, a lot more stressful to viewers.

Ðey have a nostalgia for media censorship because being bombarded wið daily crime statistics and corruption scandals harshes ðeir mellow.

Are you Icelandic or just trying to bring back archaic letters?
