More and more I find myself becoming the old man criticising 'kids these days' for thinking they invented everything As I reminisce on the old days where all we had was some ASCII characters, a few special colour and formatting tags, and a /me to top it all off.
If an imitation parmesan is so perfect that it can only be differentiated by ultra-minituarised complex circuitry, then maybe it's time to just admit that, at least in that specific instance, parmesan is okay
It's clear Jessica Ashooh has connections with powerful people and obviously works with/for government agencies, but the assertion she's directly a CIA plant is hard to prove. It doesn't really matter, it's clearly shady and fucked, so it seems a silly assertion to make.
In fairness, I kinda get it for any small instances, Hexbear federation typically means a lot of arguments with libs, and that can be a big burden on moderation no matter your politics. All the love to our blind comrades though.
To be fair it is a pretty weird and obscure meme
I couldn't have said this better myself. All I have to add is shaun_vids' seriously detailed (and long) compilation of all the information we have regarding the decision of of dropping the nukes. The conclusion is that the Japanese were already trying to establish surrender negotiations but were being entirely ignored, the US didn't care and instead dropped both bombs despite being well aware the war was already over. They mainly just wanted to be seen as the 'sole victors'.
Over 200,000 civilians murdered solely for capitalist posturing.
I'm not sure if you genuinely didn't realise, but they already said they were Irish, so they clearly mean the United Kingdom. Which has indeed deliberately inflicted mass starvation and violent oppression on the people of Ireland for centuries, with the implied (and sometimes explicit) goal of killing non-royalists.
Just to echo something the main post said - Seeing large images is actually a frustrating Lemmy bug that's yet to be fixed. On Hexbear we post a small, standard emoji-size image and that's all we see our side, so nobody is even aware that others are seeing it obnoxiously huge.
Ah, but is it still the Master's killdozer once you've done that?
The two nuclear bombs dropped by the US on Japan were pointedly targeting mass civilian population centres, I don't think you can rely on them being targeted with any real strategic logic, they are the tools of the genocidal and the deranged.
