Is it true that a lot of the army sympathizes with Hezbollah despite not being a part of their real base?

No it's not, also there is at least one Brazilian Lemmy instance, stop crying in my mentions because someone made Facebook and Twitter follow laws which ALREADY APPLIED TO EVERYONE ELSE. Replying to me will not bring your wife back or whatever this is.

Yes, the person hosting a website has to abide by the laws of countries they want to avoid being blocked in. This is common sense unless you're Mark Zuckerberg. No human rights for zillionaires, sorry chuddy

No it's not! I hope you can see that uninhibited unlawful access by multinational media & telecom companies is exactly what leads to the establishment of comprador figures like Bolsonaro, who dislike Telesur's politics.

I'm actually glad you've raised this, as it helps me develop my thoughts on social libertarian left tech activism & its limitations. One of its dubious accomplishments is watering down the wrongs done by the US & allied governments with pop social science into generic anti-authoritarian rhetoric, and opposing actions by neo-colonized countries which limit foreign soft power + capital

I'm the one spinning fairy tales?? You're telling me that these companies aren't already blocking people in accordance with their own policies shaped by those very organizations? I just think there is a misunderstanding here, because Bolsonaro would never do anything like this but you're reframing it as a win for him.

I sure hope nobody thinks of Brazil as a magic kingdom where only good things happening. For the govt there to actually grow a backbone and limit the influence of the orgs that are encouraging their petit boug to be little pro-US Evangelical nightmare beings would ve fantastic. The dominance of US tech & media is very very bad and other countries need actual sovereignty (like enforcing their laws on multinational companies and not legalizing their activities - at a bare minimum, as relying on them at all is a result of being deliberately underdeveloped)

These companies are very entwined with US state power it's imperialism and the privatization of the state that is an issue not third world sovereignty itself

Wasn't there a post in here about the suspect being connected to the police dept in some way? I can't find it now. Bit reminiscent of the portapiques shooter in

Don't worry about that!! I'm nice!!! Not trying to engage in Mind Warfare or whatever.

Kerala is definitely of interest to the instances with more communists. I'm pleased there are interesting Indian Marxist-Leninist writers getting wider distribution lately

This was posted 25min ago, not sure. I can't follow much at work 😮‍💨

Yeah it's got something to do with that & development being split between Dendrite and Synapse. I don't even really care to know since having to dig up the flaws with it then getting argued with by proponents who don't like to talk about them makes me annoyed. Many Rust developers have a whole cyberpunk ideology that results in their justifications being peppered with political stuff that sounds straight out of Arab Spring-stan anarchist twitter circa 2016. It's 2025 and those guys have successfully turned Syria into ISIS land. Yet they won't stop crying - but, I digress! I do not trust any nonprofit dependent on the world's largest concentrations of finance capital.

Synapse is the backend for Matrix and last I heard, people had been waiting a long time for an update, then it was announced the fixes were going to be on a premium version.

The larger issue is that Matrix (and Matterhorn and some others) development has been funded by NED technology initiatives, and is supported by big clients such as NATO and Reddit (or at least Reddit is using Matrix as a backend for their chats now). So they expect the public to keep their client system healthy while customizing software for the military intelligence arm of the imperialist countries. Meaning our interface will suck. Being reliant on these kinds of things is a long-term weakness.

What they think about Ukraine and Israel operating as US proxies under far-right governments?
