  • Sheltered Reddit liberals finding out in real time that they're not in a pro-west echo chamber is fucking hilarious.

    I dont see Active sort for comments. Anyway, active is just whatever is getting the most activity right now good or bad

  • How's the imminent Niger war spoken of in your country?
  • Abraman Abraman Now 100%

    I read an article in the Seattle Times about the Niger coup a few days ago. Talks about how they're hostile to France (ostensibly presented as a bad thing, no mention of French misadventures in West Africa) and pro Russia (scary! bad!)

    Some talk about how it will affect the fight against islamic insurgents as well with the absence of French troops, they talked about how attacks from insurgents increased after the coups in Mali and Burkina Faso but in typical western journalism fashion left the reader to draw their own conclusions on that

  • More hilarity over lemmy.ml, I gotta say libs do add a lot of entertainment value to the site

    i prefer not to waste my time on speculation from biased sources.

    fair question, but I’m sorry that I may disappoint you in saying that I doubt any news source is (or even could be) completely unbiased. major newswire sources do try by only reporting raw facts, but even they let bias slip in when editors choose which facts to report.

    So what you're saying, Brooklyn Man, and expect me to believe, is that you have no beliefs and dont listen to anyone. what a moron

    The idea is that, by living in the west, your "neutral position" is probably already being swayed one way without your knowledge.

  • The International Community™ (therefore The World®) unanimously rejects Argentina's claim over the Islas Malvinas

    I'm confused why the Commonwealth, African union, and Arab league get their own colors

    A lot of the "human rights abuses" you hear about in US enemy countries are either blown completely out of proportion, fabricated entirely, or caused by the US directly via sanctions, etc. When it actually happens it's extremely regrettable, of course, but you can't believe everything you read on the internet. The US is very good at lying, as I hope you know by now

    So if a country draws a red line and responds with war when it's crossed (Russia) they are Adolf Hitler himself reincarnated back from the dead, but if a country draws a red line and does not respond with war when it's crossed (China) they're feeble cowards. MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MINDS!!!

    This is my pinned tweet, as you can see it has 51 replies and NONE of them are visible. I have no idea why. There was one time as well where I noticed a tweet I made had 16 private replies, so I called that number out in a reply to the tweet wondering where all the replies came from and WATCHED THE INVISIBLE REPLIES TICK UP ONE AT A TIME just a few minutes later, so I am fairly certain this is like an actual person and not some robot or whatever. I would feel like I was going crazy if all of my friends couldn't see the number as well. Sorry I just had to rant about this, like WHY is this happening

    Neither of the devs have commented in months and no updates in the github for a while either. Has it been abandoned?
