I wish I loved anything as much as the writer loves quotation marks. So the "anti-imperialists" oppose the "Western world", namely the "US", due to "Marcyist" "Campism". Wow, you really wouldn't want to write this sentence without those scare quotes!

Incredible. The future. I will pay 10 billion dollars to replace my company with this picture.

I didn't know they had a foundation. Turns out they're even renting a unit (probably just a mailbox) in a nice, modern office complex. Somehow, it nevertheless reminds me of those photos of the Something Awful offices...

"We don't know who the leader is, it's like this anonymous Brazilian," Dorsey said.

That anonymous Brazilian is Giovanni Torres Parra, a developer who has also built at least two webpages devoted to disseminating the work of the far-right conspiracy theorist Olavo de Carvalho. Before he died in 2022 after contracting COVID-19, de Carvalho — known as Olavo — praised Brazil's military dictatorship, claimed that Pepsi-Cola was flavored with stem cells of aborted fetuses, preached that tolerance for homosexuality was "incompatible" with democracy, and had an office in Virginia decorated with portraits of Confederate generals.

I've just seen an unsourced statistic online that a third of the people arrested for antisemitism in Germany as of late are Jewish. Obviously, I can't find anything on this in the media or on Google, though I regularly hear of individual cases. Does anyone have a real source on this or is it just a rumor?

you can go to some abortion rights rallies and never hear anyone talk about the oppression of women, instead insisting on woke lingo like “people with a uterus,” because in the postmodernist conception the most crucial aspect is the changing of language to be more woke.

They're extremely upset about "postmodernism", "identity politics", "canceling" and "woke", but they insist they're for trans people in one sentence somewhere, so surely all their complaining about pronouns and verbal inclusion of trans people is in good faith. Anyway, being really vulgar about sex work is always a good indicator of where someone's real allegiances lie.

I think right-wing propaganda, like TV shows watched by children that tell the viewer climate change isn't real, trans people are monsters and it's okay to use homophobic slurs, is much more heavily responsible for the rise of Trump, actually

22 year old woman from germany - not even Israeli.

Wrong! According to Spiegel, she never lived in Germany, her mother was a convert to Judaism who immigrated to Israel and her father was Israeli. Besides, I don't see how it even helps your argument to point out that some of the colonizers are of German nationality. Historically speaking, that's never a good thing.

The mod over there trying to rein in the misgendering has multiple downvotes. Who put all this transphobia in my anticommunism?

Aside from the big liberal instances, we're federated with some small ones that I don't mind seeing, like Star Trek.website or the Life is Strange-themed instance. I hope we can keep those at least.
