Eh, not necessarily, this more of a serious political instance than a casual one (though it gets mememy), but if it means something, Dessalines, one of the main founders of Lemmy, probably intended this political activity in this pro-FOSS fediverse…

Be warned, though, if you’re not cool with the political stance of anti-western dominance, this may not be the place for you:

Lemmy’s origin story

Reddit closed its source code years ago, and the reddit redesign has become a bloated anti-privacy mess.

Its become absorbed into that silicon valley surveillance-capitalist machine that commidifies users to sell ads and paid flairs, and propagandizes pro-US interests above all. Software technology being one of the last monopoly exports the US has, it would be naive to think that one of the top 5 most popular social media sites, where so many people around the world get their news, would be anything other than a mouthpiece for the interests of those same US coastal tech firms.

Never thought we would get historical materialism from a lemm.ee user, but thanks a lot actually for the clarification! 😀

I mean, what are you expecting in the western world, anyways?

Now relating to this, economic policy of the U.S, and to an extent, the West, influences thus heavily the migrant policy they have here…

Historically, they’ve taken cheap migrant labor, if not intelligentsia and some comprador bourgeoisie into their country, then during the Cold War, anti-communist reactionary diaspora, before synthesizing these policies so that they get the best of both worlds: a modern non-western Global South diaspora that are now likely pro-west if not anti-government to their own ethnic country, pro-liberalism, and ironically enough, probably pro-ancien regime…

That, and pro-western propaganda keeps seeping in around

It’s a mixed hodge podge, and I guess one international Indian student of a working class background who directly hails from Kerela is different from an ethnic Indian whose parents were at least British collab-intelligentsia, if not comprador bourgeoisie in Kenya…

I suggest you ask SadArtemis, tankiedesantski, et other users who are of Chinese origins about their thoughts?

Aren’t you confusing Catsro with Meow Zedong and Coney Chatlin?

I know that, for sure, I’ve had one of his videos, but other than that… how does Makan know him personally and what’s the beef?

What happened to this BayArea415 you talk about?

And what’s his deal with Dessalines?

I’m confused… why is Saudi Arabia’s flag here?

The straights are not okay…

To the cuck pit they must go…

Yeah, I’m not good at Tagalog, but hey it’s something…

Maligayang kaarawan, CMD. Joe!

Habang mabuhay sayo…

Indeed good riddance…

That’s how we should make our presence heard

Didn’t watch the video

Egh, didn’t mind… but anyways I think you bring some good points who really needs yk the Gaokao and how China is dealing with it, outside a capitalist framework…

I’m actually wondering: have you, yourself, taken it before? Or any other cousins who’ve taken it

Btw, any other Chinese users here in Lemmygrad and Hexbear, maybe even lemmy.ml, familiar with it?

You’re telling me they owned Wyoming, Kansas and Oklahoma?

@Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net

Let her go, let her tarry… I mean come on, she’s showing her ass at this moment…

On the other hand, take notes, but if she gets prosecuted for treason, you can always give evidence…

I mean, what would Orwell do?

I mean, if she’s shown her ass around here publicly, you don’t need to tip 'er off to others that she’s a special kind of person… just take notes…

Aww… Ty as well
