When things seem free, you’re not the customer.

Discord can

Well that’s pretty obvious.

and sometimes does monitor your chats.

Probably, although why would they? More likely they’ll just data mine everything an sell it on for AI learning program to nom nom on.

People call this enlightened centrism, with ridicule for some fuck-ass reason.

It sure does.

Seems like a case of reverting to training in a stressful situation.

I guess this part of the reactions to this video illustrates the confusion that people have about how it feels to be in that situation. I’m confused that people are unable to imagine it how chaotic the situation might be. We have the benefit of knowing how it unfolded, but what the police officers knew is what they were briefed on that morning (most probably threats against the embassy) and the exact situation they are in.

Yeah, it’s not a lot percentually: that coral reef is estimated to be roughly 4600 square kilometers (though I found another source saying it to be over 26000).

But then again, the Amazon Forest is 6,7 million square kilometers, so if you look at just the numbers, it doesn’t seem like much if 10 000 square kilometers is lost every year.

I get that real actual nazis are horrible and need to be put down, but I feel like you’re exaggerating both the severity of Navalny’s political positions and downplaying Verkhovsky’s position by quite a bit.

This dude believes it: https://www.rightsinrussia.org/aleksandr-verkhovsky/

Or is he a nazi as well?

Fair enough. I apologize for the fucked up thing I said which was to note that people with gender info in their usernames tend to have opinions that are deeply wrong to me in ways unrelated to gender identity.

Edit: Oh nice, you’re just gonna edit your comment after claiming that every person with pronouns in their name has shitty opinions. If you’re gonna be a transphobic dick at least say it with your whole chest.

You think it’s a bad thing that I recognized I said something shitty and edited it away?

I don’t understand what you think is redeemable about this man, all nazis deserve death.

Perhaps this will answer your question:

Beginning in the late 2000s, Navalny used racial slurs when describing ethnic Georgians, called for the deportation of Muslim migrant workers and delivered speeches at Russian Marches, annual rallies of far-right nationalists, white supremacists and neo-Nazis.

“It was a long time ago,” Alexander Verkhovsky, head of the Moscow-based Sova hate crimes monitor, told Al Jazeera in 2021, describing Navalny as “a different man now”.

Do you think that that history makes his more recent, significant anti-corruption, anti-putin work in Russia void, and that these things cannot be discussed separately? Is the good/evil juxtaposition absolute in the real world?

If that makes them stay inside their borders, I’m all for it. Would it?

What was Navalny’s alleged crime and what is Assange’s alleged crime?

That would imply that Ukraine and USA should be asking for negotiations.

Concerning Uyghurs: https://news.cgtn.com/news/2019-12-05/Fighting-terrorism-in-Xinjiang-MaNLLDtnfq/index.html – it seems to be a fact acknowledged by also China that quite many Uyghurs committed terrorist acts – thousands of attacks according to above article. That’s not in dispute, or would you disagree?

It would seem to me that Israel and China should have a lot of common ground in dealing with islamistic terrorism, but geopolitics is preventing them from co-operating.

Well, You absolutely can, since it actually saves you time. Otherwise you’d go and listen to Fox News slop as well

Not trusting Fox News is pretty fucking easy tbh :) Wikipedia is not quite as trivial, I feel.
