The firebombing of Tokyo and Dresden are two things you won't hear much about either, those are some real atrocities.

The USA government defeats a country through warfare and then forces them to accept "universal goods" like equal rights and democracy against their will. I wonder how many people would call that "cultural imperialism" unless they supported those themselves.

This is definitely the case from what I know. You can thank the Allies for making their workplaces more "diverse" and enshrining equal rights into their constitution. When men see that society is no longer working for their benefit and instead at their expense, they would check out of society and not engage with it.

Largely accurate. However it's missing the key racial element which makes everything else fall into place. Many of the "global elite" genuinely do not think they are the same as the rest of the regular citizens. They intermarry and view the general population as a threat to them, which is true.

When people realize that their government has been hijacked by a foreign power they would rebel, like has happened in the past. Instead for 60 years we have been bombarded with "anti-racist" training to make people ignore or otherwise be unable to see the truth when it comes to people acting out of racial interest at the expense of everybody else.

Democracy means "Control by people who can influence the masses the most" basically meaning the media and education systems. It's very easy to convince people if you have all "authorities" pointing in the same direction, and saying anybody who looks the other way is a horrible person.

There's a reason the USA was founded as a constitutional republic. They didn't write the constitution with a democracy in mind, that just came afterwards.

Whenever any single instance grows big enough it will get compromised in the exact same way "big tech" has. They will pressure smaller instances into falling in line or else they will have no reach.

What you are saying is basically to "hope the problem goes away on its own" which it never will. You need to get to the root of the issue of why things get compromised in the first place, and that's something you can't run away from forever.

Maybe not, but what about traceable dye or some other kind of verification? It doesn't need to be a chip specifically. And there's no guarantee that they won't put things in later once people are "used to it" with regular injections.

Yes Mastodon is one instance, but it's the biggest one of their "twitter alternatives" which means it basically has monopoly power in the same way that twitter actually does. I'm using it as an example that what happened that made twitter and reddit bad is exactly the same thing happening to federated projects as well.

With the code of conduct on things like Mastodon I do not think you could consider that a good source. They have rules like:

No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, casteism

No discrimination against gender and sexual minorities, or advocation thereof

No spreading disinformation or conspiracy theories that undermine public health

No conduct promoting the ideology of National Socialism

They are functionally identical to places like Twitter and Reddit in terms of the quality of the people running it. I do use Element/Matrix though since it has encryption. We have a KiA backup room there just in case.

You can see that many "branches" have their content suspended from interacting with Mastodon for things like harassment and hate speech. This is why it is not reliable. If the people moderating things are compromised then anywhere good just gets quarantined away, same as Reddit. Dot Win has reliable admins (for now) so it works well as a public site. It does not solve the issues that people have been having with social media at all.

It seems the admins have been pushing more on censorship again. They really should just be directing people here instead.

Yeah there have been federal documents released which show their posts on sites like that. I believe they were also trying to get people to download images, either because it provides some kind of tracking or just to see how well they spread from different sources.

This. I've heard people are trying to use bots to automatically do this as well, with certain keywords triggering them but I have not seen any definitive proof of that.

4chan was organic discussion before maybe 2014 but since then it's been astroturfed just as much if not more than Reddit has.

The fact that their images kept all the metadata too. That could have been an oversight, but I'm done attributing things just to incompetence.

This is a bit old posted on June 12, 2020, but thanks for bringing it up.

We believe in a world where everyone is treated equally.

Meaning: We will be treating whites (and sometimes asians) worse than everybody else.

Because racism is a centuries-long systematic problem, the solution must also be long term. Today we are announcing our BIPOC Equality Commitment. This Commitment is a holistic long term response to racism that is so deeply embedded in our nation’s history.

If you do not like a nation's history then leave. There's the whole continent of Africa if you want to help black people.

Look for one that uses uses crypto as well if you can. Even if you're not using the cryptocurrency in payments it means that they're not as entrenched into the banking system.

It's pretty crazy how many people will retweet something like a 17 year old with xe/xir in their profile thinking they have some good mature political opinion. I've made it a habit to check if somebody has signs like that before liking or interacting with stuff.

I suggest reading this news article that Churchill published in a paper in Feb 1920 called "Zionism versus Bolshevism"

And also remember that the Soviet Union was the first country to introduce "hate speech" laws and punish anti-semitism by death.

They should have a count for hospitalizations as well. That's far more important than just getting a positive test.

No from gofundme donations she received 20k, but I don't imagine a guy getting all teary eyed on camera would get equivalent results.

That girl who put glue in her hair ended up getting a lot of attention and a huge payout from it, so of course other people are going to try and hop right on that train too.

I suggest watching Higurashi. The original series first not the new one.
