I can’t get browsing by hashtags to work on pixelfed itself. Only shows like 3 results.

I can’t wait for libs to latch on to the term shadow banking and render it meaningless

Anne Pettifor is a bit of a lib but she has some good writing on it. She named her substack something forgettable like System Change tho so i always scroll past her rss feed

Ah… their hairlines…

What exactly do you have against Ibrahim Traore lolz

Lol disregard my last comment about the Google News trick they made it worse. FFS

There needs to be a move to model more like Invidious where there is a database. Youtube’s got a helluva lot more to index and it’s managed. The account tokens thing was a bit unserious.

In the meantime if you need rss, try this:

https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=site:twitter.com/benjaminnorton

just swap out the name.

you have to paste the URL into an archive website lolz unless u want to login. very cumbersome & no retweets. i like having a retweet free RSS tho, no overlaps

also there are mastodon mirrors of twitter accounts and stuff that can be done

anyways, the site SUCKS. this should have been something to hold us over while people come to their senses and leave

You’ll hear about it thru the grapevine. I’m not talking about it on reddit sorry

People wouldn’t have to flock anywhere if things were more connected ;_;

Mostly, but I don’t want Twitter to take further measures!

This is just democrat Qanon

The Nth of which is asking me about Ukraine.

Here is where we will likely have serious disagreements lol

I understand the prevailing view is that Putin is trying to steal the Donbas, but from the perspective of the people there, he has actually been incredibly reluctant to do anything about them getting tortured and bombed. The Maidan coup has been forensically deconstructed even using facts from the case within Ukraine there was a false flag shooting by the far right Bandera linked organization that has involvement with US intelligence services going back to WWII to put it in broad strokes. Even the far right Polish parties are averse to them over them massacring Polish people with the Nazis. I digress. Lindsay Graham and Amy Klobuchar and John McCain put it better than I can lol this is search banned on Youtube iirc so ur welcome 😎😎

Putin’s motivation was to come to his fucking senses after everyone in the regions later to become LPR and DPR (especially the communists) fought a civil war (much of the army defected after the Maidan coup)

Good book but he has dumb statements about the NKVD that don’t even get backed up, but the stuff about the Banderites does more,

Oh I understand what you mean. Fox and MSNBC being on in the gym are what’s driving my anger, not these misunderstandings. I wouldn’t be interested in clarifying things with people like this if I were like rage posting

Sorry, do I know you? Do you need to imagine everyone online that you have a disagreement with as being hopping mad? Do you go around fantasizing about people online to feel better about yourself?

Defense not so much. I try to be a realist

Apologies in advance for long post sometimes I write because it is cathartic 😁

I have no love for the man but you must understand this language you use reflects demonization of a foreign leader, and that’s coming from propagandists who even told us he might die of cancer last year? Sweden and Finland are reaching the apex of this Russia hysteria. It has done no good to Latvia or Lithuania or Estonia, economic devastation is occuring due to this far right vs neoliberal capitalist pendulum swinging.

I want Putin and his allies to lose power to the growing communist movement in Russia (KPRF). The naivete he admitted to related to the west was seen by other less greedy people long ago. He only has the advantage of being more interested in resource sovereignty of Russia rather than international corporatiobs controlling the country’s resources, which is legitimately worse it creates a horrific conflict of interest where people use unsafe extraction methods and dehumanize their workers etcetera, like Exxon and Chevron and co in Latin America. This is why Putin is preferable to post-Soviet leaders to me lol.

Also can you imagine our leaders doing adversaries foreign interviews like Putin or Lukashenko or Maduro? (In order of ascending affection from me lol, Lukashenko is meh, Maduro is flat out good.)

Putin has been happy to bring oligarchs to heel over the sanctions thing but he won’t depose them because he is dumb and a greedy capitalist at heart. To use broad strokes.

My only point is you find a decidedly different opinion of Putin in global south countries, the locus of malice around him is a product of us trying to displace problems at home. Russia is moving more towards a domestic development policy like China and they already have foreign aid that is quite robust considering they are comparatively a smaller country. Their GDP was = to Texas in 2017 this is mainly because of the inflated value of our shit (there is a stat called purchasing power parity that GDP can be adjusted with to fix this)

While I think there is a lot of deception going on with the whole Carlson thing it’s not like he just got blackmailed to do it, since he’s gone off into the NewsMax and direct streaming crowd like my old landlord, who think aliens are coming and shit, he can fence sit between completely insane QAnon people and those who think we should refocus our aggression on China away from Russia lol (won’t work btw, even with their military eating a much smaller amt of their production, as shown by the crisis in the Red Sea with Ansarallah taking or missile striking ships bound for Israel and now all US and UK vessels, resupply of anti aircraft missiles at sea massively limits how we can function in the age of rocketry. Anti ship missiles are extremely powerful and getting better constantly)

Shhhh let them think it died 🤫

Oh I enjoy being verbose. It’s not like, an upsetting thing. I get online to post. Metanarrativizing is almost no energy to me lol

Reddit attracts a demographic that is very particular. You wouldn’t be surprised to encounter Japanese people on Misskey, and I’m not surprised that you are looking for Russian infiltrators or you know, crazy gop people who latch on to points about BIDEN’S FAILED WAR and the military being homosexualized 🤬😡🤬

👀 I guess

That link is the piracy site in question, if you sort communities by local it will give you a better idea of where they’re at.

Also just discovered the Voyager app lets you enter in a mulireddit and it will give you the communities who migrated, I haven’t used reddit much for years so it’s actually cool rediscovering stuff on Lemmy
