Most do realise this. Most are oriented this way.

I do know most people are aware of this tactic. But I feel I also encounter people who are similar to ultras in the sense that they defy everyone, be it the US, China, Russia or whatever, but end up inadvertently (I think) focusing their attacks on opponents of the US, be they communists or not.

I think I know a lib when I see one. I am referring to people who say "Fuck the CCP, fuck the US" and truly believe in what they are saying, and then end up online attacking mostly the former out of some gullible principle.

Maybe you're right and the people I'm describing don't exist, or are so few in number as to be irrelevant. But a lib makes more sense to me than these people.

I usually "hang out" (lurk) more on hexbear than on my home instance, but the folks at lemmy.eco.br are usually cool as well

Also the logic behind "communism no iphone"

Someone pointed that out in the thread, then followed it up that the tanks were coming back from the supposed actual massacre

That's more or less what I meant. I'm not so sure about what you said of requiring attestation for general secretary, mostly because of what the curriculum for that would be and who would be in charge of defining said curriculum. Admittedly, though, I haven't given this topic much thought

Gonna say something controversial, but I don't think judges should be elected. At least, they shouldn't only be elected.

What I mean is, being a judge (at least in the current state of things) is something that requires a lot of technical knowledge, and this should be attested through some kind of examination, at the very least. I think the same of many other kinds of government officials, as well. What I think could work is submitting to elections those approved in specific examination. Ideally, we'd also be able to remove from office any judge through vote, at any time. And, of course, there should be no room for high ranking politicians handpicking people for office, as well, as it happens where I live, in some cases.

I express this opinion as someone who has worked closely to the judicial system. Of course, I'm open to changing my mind if someone wants to express their opinion.

This goes hard

Is invidious generally serving you well as of recently? Or do you have to fish for a working instance? I ask because Piped has not worked for some weeks now, and I absolutely refuse to use YouTube's own frontend.

Feel free to ignore me in case you feel I'm derailing the thread too much

In any case, thanks for the playlist, as a Linux semi-beginner, it is sure to help me some

Unrelated, but have you been able to use piped recently?

[–] Emanuel 2 points 3 months ago

Oh yeah, I'd forgot
