@BlanK0, in the future please refrain from making non-Linux posts to c/linux, so that we mods & admins don’t have to field complaints. Thanks.

It is not, as you said, that you’re dissenting from the standard narrative, at least not to me. It is threadsitting and making rather rude comments.

You may or may not have noticed that lemmy.world mods/admins have removed some of your comments already: lemmy.ml/u/CableMonster That is often a precursor to them banning you from the !News community or even the entire lemmy.world instance.

As an aside, most Lemmy instances consist predominantly of imperial core liberals, and lemmy.world is no exception. It’s a tough crowd over there in terms of this proxy war.

Maybe you don’t know how to take a hint and want your account to be temporarily banned.

@CableMonster, I’m an admin on lemmy.ml, and we’re getting complaints of you trolling this post. After dozens of comments, maybe you’ve had your say and it’s time to stop threadsitting on the conversation. I approved your account request this week, please don’t make me regret it.

Yup, it’s very not trivial.

Jamie Zawinski (JWZ) agreed enough to boost Carlos’ post and has been documenting his own email pains for decades.

This is a distinction with little difference, which is convenient for them, because they can say well ackchyually we’re not stopping you from self-hosting nerd when in practical terms they are.

Remember when Congress used to pretend that their authorization was needed? They hardly bother to go through the motions anymore.

Don’t worry, the military-industrial complex wants to control it, too. Atlantic Council: Collective Security in a Federated World (PDF)

You’re right, they had no uprising. The US wanted a client state in the region, so in the reconstruction it installed a bourgeois democracy that was and is subservient to it. We still have dozens of military bases there, despite the complaints & protests of Japanese residents.
