I'm not claiming that it is fake, I don't know. But especially after this Dril tweet (also predicting recent US-presidential events) turning out to be fake, and seeing a slew of other faked prediction social media posts recently from lesser-known people and randos, I have to say am extremely skeptical of this one. Has it been confirmed as real?
In thinking about it, I'm actually slightly more scared of a Biden reelection. The actual policies will be just as horrible as they would be under another Trump admin, just look at the last 4 years for proof. But if Trump wins, all the blue maga libs will be screaming again about how the US is descending into fascism, which is true, they just don't understand the reasons or that it's true with Biden as well. Remember when they were upset about kids in cages on the border? It was because the rude orange man was doing it. When a dem does it, it's polite so it must be ok. Trump made for more room to be critical of US policies, both foreign and domestic, but mostly domestic. I don't think the George Floyd protests would have gone as far under a dem president. I don't think we would have gotten any economic relief for covid under a democrat president (even the measly token amount we did get). And while I don't think Trump will do anything to help end the genocide of Palestinians, it's at least slightly possible his pretense at an isolationist stance will make it harder to send hundreds of billions of dollars to Israel like Biden insists on doing. And again, anything Trump does to perpetuate the genocide, many more libs will (correctly, like a broken clock) see it as a bad thing.
Some might say this borders on accelerationism, but I disagree. There really was a material benefit to Trump being president beyond "things are going to get worse faster" because more people actually gave a shit about what was going on. Specifically, more people that have at least some wealth and power (like PMC turbolibs). As long as Biden is the imperial top dog, all the libs can go back to enjoying brunch, content in the knowledge that the supposed adults in the room are in control. If Biden wins a second term, it also makes it all the more clear that the democrats can literally and openly conduct a genocide and still get rewarded for it. That is more frightening to me than another 4 years of Trump, and I say that as a queer person belonging to a few demographics that Trump and the republicans are keen to target (that the democrats might sometimes give lip service to in order to maintain the facade that they don't also hate us).
I also noticed the firefox add-on LibRedirect which I always used to find very useful, seems to be living up to its name. They removed any redirect options for xitter even though there are still working frontends for it like nitter.poast.org.
Libs I know, after hearing me complain about capitalism, have told me "It's not like we're still living in the times of the Dickens novels. Oliver Twist wasn't a documentary, moron."
I now present them with this headline.
Oh definitely. I'd be eternally grateful to any person who saved my best friend from death, even if it weren't such an excruciating one as burning. Whatever cop saved that dog did an undeniably good thing and I didn't mean the comment as a condemnation of that one. Cops in general are actually capable of doing doing good, actually. It just doesn't change the fundamentally evil role they play in a capitalist society nor the fact that on the whole they're prone to doing despicable things as a result of that position... and the sociopathic feedback loop of that role attracting people who want to do despicable things in the first place.
I was just pointing out that what gets boosted and celebrated on reddit is the copaganda stories. It's the post linked by OP that everyone on reddit should be made aware of, and how common the practice is of cops murdering dogs. Instead, I found it really ironic that literally minutes after seeing this post, the thing I see on reddit's front page with tens of thousands more upvotes is yet another heroic cop story, pretty much the polar opposite of this one.
TIL far left is when you parrot the US State Dept line, shit on AES countries, and use the terms "tankie" and "authoritarianism" unironically.
"Uh sure, I'm not going to question these lies because here is yet another set of lies I already don't question that confirms the first set of lies. Checkmate, commie!" -You
Not to mention the lengths their people have to go to if they want to leave.
Why might they have to go to such lengths? Hmmm...
"Plenty of North Koreans leave and live in China with no problem. The big reason it is so difficult for them to leave in general isn't because they are being held prisoner there by the DPRK government, it's because of restrictions imposed by the US and UN making it impossible for them to live most anywhere else."
"5. North Korean Overseas Workers (OP8): Requires countries to expel all North Korean laborers earning income abroad immediately but no later than 24 months later (end of 2019)."
"Strengthens the ban on providing work authorizations for DPRK nationals by requiring Member States to repatriate all DRPK nationals earning income and all DPRK government safety oversight attachés monitoring DPRK workers abroad within their jurisdiction within 24 months from 22 December 2017."
Meanwhile the DPRK has no official restriction on the people's free movement.
That’s why visitors are heavily monitored and often end up being detained and taken prisoner
People visit there all the fucking time without issue, but you can keep comforting yourself with more lies like that so you don't have to confront reality. You're really proving you have no curiousity and no will to examine your misconceptions. Here's another vid I might have included in my other comment, this one about visiting North Korea. Not that you actually watched or have any intention of watching them, but this one is short and comedic, so maybe even someone with zero interest in intellectual honesty might watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BO83Ig-E8E
Surely the signs of a healthy and stable country.
Yeah, and hellholes like the US have such health and stability that they have the most prisoners in absolute terms and per capita by far where their ethnic minorities are murdered by their militarized police death squads with impunity. And why soldiers from the US are now defecting to North Korea because of the insane racism and oppression they face in the US.
Westerners are the most propagandized people on the planet.
Damn, whatever it is they said, the comment was too spicy even for the modlog. 
I keep coming across problems like this over and over. Federation has some massive issues around not showing content its supposed to. There are hexbear comments, posts, and even users you simply can't see when you're logged into lemmygrad, and vice versa. Try this: When you're logged into hexbear, visit c/literature. Now log out and log into a lemmygrad account and go visit that same community (it will now be lemmygrad.ml/c/literature@hexbear.net ). Notice a difference? Yeah, lemmygrad users will think there have only been 2 posts made to that comm ever. But from hexbear, there are thousands of posts. If you log into a lemmy.ml account and view that community, you'll find 3 posts are visible on hexbear's literature comm, but none of them will be the 2 posts that you could see from lemmygrad. This is just one example. Tons of stuff is missing, and yeah, sometimes its because of banned users or removed comments, but other times there is just no discernible reason for it.
I was just talking to @Catradora_Stalinism@hexbear.net the other day about it a little bit. If you view her hexbear account but you're logged into lemmygrad, it looks like she hasn't posted since 2 months ago. But that's clearly wrong. In fact, if you try to find threads she's started in this very same news mega (and you're logged into lemmygrad) you will never be able to find them. Lemmygrad people can't see her comments here nor can they see the comments of anyone who replied to her.
Nobody seems to realize this is an issue because no one would ever know if they don't log into different instances and try to see the same content. But it's all over the place.
Look ma, another one! Do you all take shifts on duty watching this thread?
This is my only comment in this thread. I clicked on this post because it showed up in my feed, simple as. Everyone who talks about hexbear brigading, piling on, or "taking shifts" doesn't understand how federation works. Hexbear has been a highly active website with a large userbase for years now, so I don't know what you would you expect to happen when a large discussion-based website shows content... the people on that website are going to discuss that content.
meanings can change over time. If it can start being used racially at one point it can surely stop at another.
This is true. But the group of people who get to decide whether or not something is racist is the group that is the target of that racism. White people don't get to decide the n-word is no longer racist. Hetero people don't get to decide the 3-letter f-word isn't homophobic. And no individual gets to decide because it's a cultural issue. Obviously meanings of words change and evolve, but they do so organically, and trying to force a racist term into regular usage and then say "it's not racist anymore because I wasn't intending to use it that way" is itself some really racist shit.
You shoulda been tagged. 
Also, anyone who uses these free treat-dispenser netflix-killer sites, feel free to share any other decent ones you know of.
I have been using https://www.braflix.ru and https://ww4.123moviesfree.net since fmovies was murdered. They both have their issues and using an adblocker is strongly recommended. I had a bunch of others bookmarked, but a lot of them went down shortly before or after fmovies.
Like, there was fboxz.to, but now when you try to access their site, all that's there is some text that says this fucking cringe garbage:
(Emphasis mine.) My god, fuck off with that noise. What were you doing hosting pirated content if that's what you think? Or is that what the copyright pigs put up after seizing the servers, just pretending to still be the people who ran the place?
