Funny thing about American southern accents is that “stock” and “stalk” sound the same.

I was in the south once and someone asked me to stalk the printer. It took me a second to realize she wanted me to PC LOAD LETTER.

Liberals often think that if someone has different opinions from them, then they must be a conservative, because they have no idea that socialists exist.

Sometimes liberals think that socialists are the leftmost liberals, but we’re not liberals at all: we want nothing short of the abolition of private ownership of the means of production.

Anti-orientalism would closer to the mark, or more generally, anti-racist/chauvanist.

Usually when people say that they mean what Bernie Sanders means when he says socialism, which is liberalism with a social safety net.

Americans have forgotten what socialism actually means, because socialists & socialist thought were purged during the Red Scare and McCarthyism and the Cold War in general. Most Europeans I think still retain the original meaning of the word.

Those are the kinds of beliefs that false consciousness tends to produce.

Capitalism makes the 99% subservient to the 1%, and socialists want to end that. I’ll tell you what the right’s racism & jingoism is: it’s wealthy people convincing non-wealthy white people to blame nonwhite people & foreigners for their problems, instead of correctly blaming the wealthy ruling elite themselves.

I’m pretty sure it’s you who’s never explored outside their ideological bubble, because I was a bog-standard American liberal for over 40 years, until I actually read a book or listened to a point of view outside of that bubble.

I don’t know what removed is a substitute for or why they didn’t just use the original word: there are no algorithms here to circumvent.

@davel@lemmy.ml avatar

I think it’s safe to assume that you think of yourself as a conservative, a centrist, or a “liberal”, and all of those are liberalism:

Liberalism is an idealist ideology that promotes free market principles, individualism, and fundamental rights

Now you know why we use the word liberal with a seemingly broad brush: we are using its original meaning, as people in continental Europe generally still do.

I don’t know what removed is euphemizing, or why you’d euphemize it on a platform that has no algorithms to circumvent.

Atlantic Council » Collective Security in a Federated World (PDF)

Many discussions about social media governance and trust and safety are focused on a small number of centralized, corporate-owned platforms that currently dominate the social media landscape: Meta’s Facebook and Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, and a handful of others. The emergence and growth in popularity of federated social media services, like Mastodon and Bluesky, introduces new opportunities, but also significant new risks and complications. This annex offers an assessment of the trust and safety (T&S) capabilities of federated platforms—with a particular focus on their ability to address collective security risks like coordinated manipulation and disinformation.

Which is some bullshit, because Russiagate was long-ago debunked, as well as the actual efficacy of Cambridge Analytica (it largely wasn’t). But thanks to Rachel Maddow’s daily conspiracy theorizing over the span of years, most liberals still believe that foreign State propaganda is going to Manchurian Candidate the populace and steal their democracy. Which makes them rather accepting of the idea that the government should decide what is mis/dis/malinformation. In other words they’ve been primed to accept censorship.

  • Then they came for the Hexbears, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist
  • Then they came for the lemmy.mls, and I did not speak out because I was not a security nerd
  • Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me

The US has blocked every opportunity for a negotiated peace, thereby causing tens of thousands of needless deaths, with nothing to show for it. The National Interest: How Will the Ukraine War End?

In the early weeks of the war, peace was still possible before the unimaginable loss of life, the devastation of infrastructure, and the loss of land in Ukraine. That peace was possible three times: in talks in Belarus, in talks mediated by then-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennet, and, most promisingly, in talks in Istanbul. In all three, the war could have been ended on terms that satisfied Ukraine. In all three, Ukraine was willing to renounce membership in NATO. And, in all three, the United States blocked the negotiations.
