Worse yet when they justify harming people in the name of protecting private property.

When they're finished licking boots, it's time to lick the wall.

FYI, that screenshot was from a thread on Lemmy.zip. That said, your point stands and I've seen far worse on .world. The .worlders have a tendency to drive me away from .ML posts too because there tends to be so much chauvinism coming from that instance.

Ultimately, I think it benefitted us, but I think it also drove them to be more like Reddit, which is what they wanted.

Edit: For those who may stumble upon this and think OP was exaggerating about this sort of drivel being directly from Mein Kampf...

Never forget that the rulers of present-day Russia are common blood-stained criminals; that they are the scum of humanity which, favoured by circumstances, overran a great state in a tragic hour, slaughtered out thousands of her leading intelligentsia in wild bloodlust, and now for almost ten years have been carrying on the most cruel and tyrannical regime of all time.

Furthermore, do not forget that these rulers belong to a race which combines, in a rare mixture, bestial cruelty and an inconceivable gift for lying, and which today more than ever is conscious of a mission to impose its bloody oppression on the whole world.

Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

Amazon's working on it. Just gotta get those company towns in place.

These articles are a health hazard. If my eyes roll any harder, they'll end up permanently stuck facing the back of my head.

Socialism is when poor. Socialism is when work free.

"When a capitalist comes in and forces all the local stores to close by purposefully undercutting them and then that capitalist leaves because the people fight back against exploitation, leaving a food desert, it's the peoples' fault for getting uppity! Know your place, peasants! Daddy Bezos is the reason you even have food to begin with!"

Or make it yourself. Ridiculously easy and tastes way better. I recommend trying it with serrano pepper and garlic.

I felt the same way until I started trying to correct errors in my professional field of research and they stubbornly refused to fix the errors despite a wealth of primary literature showing that the current scientific consensus contradicts what was written on Wikipedia.

As useful as it is for science, it has serious issues. I wish I could say I haven't found many similar errors or poor/outright contradictory sourcing over the last decade. They need to seriously examine their own biases and restructure their editing process. Wikipedia is one of my favorite human projects, but that doesn't mean we should ignore its flaws.

I believe that was Stalin and his comically-large spoon.

FR though, read into these famines a bit closer. It sounds like your sources may have passed over some of the context surrounding these famines.

Revisionism!

Everyone knows these days drones drop the bombs, not soldiers.

Give the soldier an Xbox controller and some medals.

Who was it that stopped Pol Pot again? And who was it who supported Pol Pot even after his party was removed from power?

If you want to use history as a "gotcha," then at least get it right. Go read a book and think critically for the first fucking time in your life.

Their ass.
