Al Jazeera, Telasur, and CBC for the most part, though no where is perfect and all have their blindspots/weaker areas. Plus a bunch of assorted other sources on a lesser basis (BBC, guardian, independent, fox if I want a peek into frothingfash brain) and hexbear news megas of course

Oh it gets worse, they've tried to open it up to those suffering from mental illness/depression and I believe they're planning on re-introducing it in 2024.

As someone who struggles with depression, this is terrifying. Just the thought of seeking out help from a medical professional and their response being "have you considered killing yourself?" really discourages me from having an open, honest conversation with my healthcare provider.

That graph reminds me that CBC News was publishing a similar graph showing Palestinian and Israeli deaths, except they stopped publishing the Israeli graph when they had to repeatedly increase the scale and the Israeli bar graph grew smaller and smaller in comparison

Oh that's easy, just hit alt f4 while you have the instance open! Hope this helps!

There's no such thing as consentual work under capitalism, let alone consentual sex work. You can't consent to something if it's under duress, and capitalism comes with the inherent threat of starvation, homelessness, and all the hardships that come from not having the means to pay for food, housing, healthcare, etc.

This does not mean it shouldn't be decriminalized (for the actual sex workers, pimps/pimping should obviously be illegal, and I think johns should probably see some penalties) since making it illegal to practice sex work just makes it all thw more dangerous for those who are forced to do such work.

In the future under socialism I don't see it being nearly as widespread as it is now. I just have a hard time seeing many people making the decision to undertake such work if they aren't under the stress of having to purchase food, make rent, pay for healthcare/schooling/childcare/etc

You forget that paper is from the mid-80s. I don't understand why people think they just stopped replacing birds. The authors of that paper based it all on declassified documents that were almost 30 years old even then! If anything the government just got better at hiding what they were doing, mark my words in another couple decades it'll come out that it's not only the pigeons and starlings that have been replaced but also robins, seagulls, and a variety songbirds!

This is clearly just a limited hangout so they can say "look at how crude our taxidermy robots are! This totally proves birds are real!"

The government wants you to believe they aren't capable of creating the omnipresent surveillance network that are so-called "birds". We've been under this surveillance since the early 60s when the government avian extermination program was in full swing. Why else do you think they were so gung-ho about DDT? It helped provide smokescreen for the avian replacement system experiment. Wake up, Birds Aren't Real

Well yea, it's only propaganda when the people I don't like do it. Just because what I believe and what I question lines up perfectly with us-foreign-policy doesn't mean anything!

Putin has the potential to something very funny and intervene by only air striking the nafo zionist brigade

I hope they are exactly as successful as the reddit-logo battalions in ukraine. Hopefully they haven't learned any lessons regarding opsec and geolocation data
