Did you know that Norway, Sweden, and Denmark all have laws against hate speech, harassment, and discriminatory expressions targeting protected groups. For instance, Norwegian law prohibits public statements that threaten or insult someone, or promote hatred based on factors like ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. At the same time they consistently top indices like the Reporters Without Borders' World Press Freedom index. I'm not saying that your comment is threatening or anything, but it doesn't seem very important to me to protect the right of someone to use a crude derogatory like "tankie" (a word with parallels to terms like "pinko" and "judeo Bolshevik").

Up to interpretation of course, but I'd say yes. Black dress, the handkerchief to the face and her posture point in that direction.

How are you so sure? How do you see beyond western and Chinese propaganda and get to a semblance of truth? Genuine question.

Why can't browsers treat torrents as just another protocol for downloads, so that if you haven't got a default set for torrent out magnet mimetypes, it just downloads it in the included download manager?

So many years I've heard Americans complain, rightly so, about the duopoly farming your insecurities for profits. Each cycle the duopoly gets worse and worse. Again we're at a point where it seems they can't stoop any lower, and again most seemingly progressive Americans suddenly become incredibly pragmatist, excusing genocide, destruction of the environment, war in Europe, cold war 2.0, because "the alternative is worse". Fuck that from the rest of the world that has to live under your megalomanic geriatric child killing leaders. You need to find a solution, and voting for the lesser evil just ain't it, because it is already so incredible destructive and outright barbarian. Make a third way, engage Trump voters on their home turf, make a revolution, I don't care, just leave us the fuck alone. Thank you.

Fuck bottoming for Biden and Trump. If you vote Biden, you're enabling genocide. Kind regards, rest of the world.

Gnomes, you say? There goes my night.

Doesn't the lack a pejorative for someone who follows western propaganda somewhat speak to the propagandistic aspect of this term as well as the whole "tankie" fad?

Are all circles in physical reality actually cylinders, only some are very short?

I have it open all the time, exactly for this reason. 15 years and going.
