Russia is very capitalist; like how exactly are they communist at all??

you're really not going to accept that systematic racism (gentrification, the War on Drugs, racial profiling, job discrimination, etc.) exists unless there's like literally a law that says "you should be racist" in big colorful letters, are you?

I'm honestly in disbelief that people like you, who think that racism was completely solved in the 60s when King did the famous speech, still exist

it is 100% a dominance thing

fucking bunch of high schoolers these governments are

why do you think that the US in particular has the responsibility to directly get involved?

[–] sangle_of_flame@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

it's not that; it's that it's the US doing it for a country halfway across the world, as if we're actually going there to help instead of taking advantage of the situation because Russia's involved

if we do go there, it's not gonna be for aid

you might be surprised by how many people don't understand this tho

[–] sangle_of_flame@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

you're moving the goalposts

someone criticizing the US government isn't an attack on US citizens; like it's kind of weird how we identify so hard with the country itself such that the country being criticized feels like a fundamental personal attack

this is a weird take; aren't police literally the arbiters of said systemically racist policies and laws?

like isn't that their colloquial job definition?

that's not the point; the point is to not have a single group dominate the site and to make it easier to avoid bad actors (bigots + fascists, because there's a lot of that online) by just blocking the instance they live on

the "one single account" thing is a bonus, but definitely not the main reason for federation
