“no double standards” when in front of the UN, but we just gotta keep fiending for our petrochemicals at home, huh? (Or in this case, our dealer’s supply chain…)

The company […] received early financial backing from Andreessen Horowitz

I swear to God reality reads like crappy fanfiction; the same group of creeps have been funding “Evil (INC.)” projects for several decades now and there’s still no limitations placed on their dealings.

Hind’s Hall is about Palestine, though from what I recall it’s just as much about the students in the USA protesting for Palestine as it is directly about palestinians.

Unless you’re joking, I’m disappointed you read “dismantle the thought patterns that the Nazis exploited” and respond with “thought police”.

Why learn about minorities when you don’t feel like one yourself?

I agree, it’s terrifying. I interpret it as our collective chickens coming home to roost after almost 100 years of celebrating victory over the Nazis without doing the work to dismantle the thought patterns they exploited.

I’m not in my forties yet, but out of my twenties, and I can relate. I made a single spur-of-the-moment shitpost that got double digit upvotes on Lemmy; rode that high for almost two full weeks.

In case you aren’t being sarcastic; 2030 is the release date they gave during blizzcon.

After the country-wide quarantine was lifted here in France, I hoped for a moment that we would capitalize on the remote-work experience to push as much employment as possible out of the cities and suburbs and into rural communities, but that never materialized.

I don’t think it’s necessary to empty rural villages, but there definitely needs to be a concerted effort to revitalize these parts instead of letting what amount to market forces drain them of their capacity to sustain life and communities.

The currently-employed “more efficient” farming methods are also only possible by continuing to centralize more and more land under single owners and by heavy use of fertilizers and mono-culture; there’s no telling how long they will remain effective and in the meanwhile we’re starting to recreate the landed gentry/ serfs class divide…

Grounds in paper filter, dunk in water, then suck on it like it’s a used teabag. Bonus points if you have a cup of water nearby to re-moisten the grounds every so often.

doot doot Thank mr skeltal!

a widely cited psychologist took to YouTube to raise the alarm

This truly is the stupidest timeline

Unsure if this is already your point or not, but, my question is: at what level of automation does it cease to be “selectively raiding the mainstream” and turn into “importing/copying the mainstream wholesale”?

lol

lmao, even

If anyone is interested in a more thorough and recent write-up of why many of us call DHH fash, this gnome blog post is pretty good: https://blogs.gnome.org/alatiera/2025/11/06/dhh-and-omarchy-midlife-crisis/

They’re not exactly mainstream, either; I stated the mainstream press is billionaire owned.

As for the insults, they don’t come from nowhere; Mediapart has been wishy-washy on upholding their own journalistic rigour when it comes to reporting on LFI precisely when much of the media landscape is actively hostile towards them. For example, the media observatory ACRIMED has written about it last year as part of a broader article on this hostility: https://www.acrimed.org/Ce-que-nous-dit-l-acharnement-mediatique-contre

In that same link:

C’est la première fois que le mouvement de Jean-Luc Mélenchon, qui se définit comme de gauche radicale, est classé à l’extrême gauche depuis sa création en 2016. Au même titre que Lutte ouvrière (LO) ou le Nouveau parti anticapitaliste (NPA). La France insoumise, même si elle porte un programme de rupture avec le capitalisme et entretient des liens avec des partis d’extrême gauche, était jusqu’à présent classée à gauche, à l’instar du Parti communiste (PC), comme l’avait confirmé une décision du Conseil d’Etat en 2024.

In 2024, they were declared simply “to the left”. In 2026, the interior ministry decided to reclassify them. So, we’re both technically right. Not to mention, the interior ministry is headed by a dude who has called Marine Le Pen “soft” in the past and is vociferously anti-left. my bad, the dude in question is now heading the ministry of justice.

Anyways the justification given by the actual head of the ministry of the interior had almost nothing to do with the concrete politics of Mélenchon nor his party/movement and almost everything to do with their member’s unwillingness to essentially play nice with the current government:

Chez la France insoumise, il y a un refus de la discussion parlementaire, des appels systématiques à la censure, on refuse d’aller voir le gouvernement pour des réunions de travail. Comme ministre de l’Intérieur, je tiens compte de la réalité des situations.

And for what it’s worth, some of the others who are classified far-left (and actually call themselves far-left) think that LFI is not far left enough to warrant the label:

La porte-parole du parti d’extrême gauche Lutte ouvrière (LO), Nathalie Arthaud, a estimé vendredi que son orientation politique était “incompatible” avec celle de La France insoumise, qui vient d’être classée comme un parti d’“extrême gauche” par le ministère de l’Intérieur pour les prochaines municipales. “A Lutte Ouvrière, on ne voudrait pour rien au monde être mélangés avec la gauche. LFI s’indigne de ne pas l’être”, a écrit sur X la triple candidate à la présidentielle du parti trotskiste. “Et en effet, cela recouvre deux options politiques incompatibles. Celle de LFI, gérer le capitalisme. La nôtre, le renverser”, a ajouté celle qui reproche régulièrement à La France insoumise d’avoir une orientation trop réformiste à ses yeux.

The French government (specifically the conseil d’État) has stated that neither Mélenchon nor his party La France Insoumise (France Unbowed) are far-left. Their stated goals for governing are comparable to Mitterand or FDR - social democrats.

It’s this kind of framing by press that maintains the kind of hostility towards the press that OP has noted in a sibling comment.

Those are some … choice excerpts. They don’t describe the level of bashing and aggrieved hostility he has received from the mainstream press for the past ten years (which has coincidentally been billionaire-owned for most of this time period), nor how his campaign promises are aligned with Bernie sanders and zorahn mamdani and light-years away from trump.

Temperament-wise, he is definitely not a sanders or mamdani, that’s for sure. More of a firebrand than the lying conman that Trump is, in my opinion.

When one of the lead devs of the Lemmy backend names their online presence after the enactor/leader of said alleged genocide, it’s bound to come up at some point.

I would frankly in retrospect have been happy to replace her with AI. At least we would be dealing with someone programmed to be honest.

This intended burn is such a self-own it’s not even funny any more. The sycophantic word-predictor is not programmed to be “honest”, it doesn’t even have intent in the first place!
