An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

Simultaneously on the Fediverse:
you are a bad human for working for an arms manufacturer
support Ukraine against Russian aggression by sending them arms
Pick a lane already!
People really don't like it when I do.
Consistency is for squares, apparently. Incoherent Manichean worldviews are all the rage.
I love pirating people's work but draw the line at using a computer to combine pirated works.
I don't if it's my personal consumption. I draw the line at trying to pass it off as mine and/or selling it.
Those aren't mutually exclusive. Ukraine is mostly using drones that aren't built by the MIC, which is why Trump just refused their help in protecting The US Military against Shahed drones. If he doesn't pour money into MIC contracts that daddy Putler approved, then he won't make the deal. The entire point is to isolate and cripple the US enough that we don't use our insane stockpile of guns when he declares dictatorship.
Fucking what.
Not built by the US MIC. They're mostly self produced from what I understand
Ukraine uses a ton of non-natively produced drones.
Ukraine uses American drones and has never been hesitant about requesting more American MIC equipment.
Trump's refusal to accept Ukrainian help has nothing to do with any greater master plan, anymore than shitting his diaper over the Strait of Hormuz being closed despite that being the #1 concern in the case of war with Iran was part of a greater master plan.
Ukraine's drone industry is absolutely a part of the MIC.
Related to 4, Americans are not the only country involved in the MIC.
