    I hope this won’t get me problems here, but today I got banned from the genzedong discord because I shared a sexist meme. I guess it’s understandable.

    This server really meant a lot to me, it’s the only place beside Lemmy were I can be with people who I feel are like me. If someone here is an admin on the discord I hope that you could give me a chance to sort this out. Even if I’m not to post anything anymore, I just want to have something to stay in touch with the world.

    Edit: The main problem is that I don’t actually have any mod’s discord tag, so I’m unable to contact them by myself. I would be very thankful if anyone could link me with one of them.

    The media over here were simping for more war talk and nuclear talk by Putin in his speech today. They sound defeated today when it turned out to not be the case lmaoo. The West is just jerking to the idea of nuclear warfare

      I was only half-listening to his speech, but what was the nuclear war talk? I only remember him mentioning Ukranian government declaring to want nukes (which AFAIK is true insofar as Zelensky mentioned it in February)

        There wasn’t nuclear talk. But the western media were creaming about their experts last week who were sure Putin was going to send a message today in which he announced new troop movements and had strong nuclear war talk. He didn’t and now the so called experts are saving face by jumping through as many hoops as they can find.

    Lech Wałęsa update: apparently my lib history teacher went to see him give a talk. The way I understood it was he was advocating essentially the balkanization of Russia by turning it into a sort of European Union where the large and unified country of Russia gets broken up into a bunch of pieces in a loose union. Not that the libs haven’t been begging for this for ages but it was surreal hearing it so close to home, I guess.

      Funny thing is, this also used to be the talking point of jingoists here in Russia - that them evil gayropeans wish for nothing but to break our beloved Motherland into tiny pieces like their own countries, so they could control them better.

      It is disturbing to learn that those types might be right. But I guess it’s a broken clock moment.

    Reddit quarantined us again. We need to put a banner inviting to Lemmygrad on the home if we can get out this time.

      r/GenZedong has been quarantined for a while now. We’ve been directing users here. We’re making some design updates to the sub to improve automation, and I’ll be getting more Lemmy stuff back up in the next few days

        Do you as a mod think they’re gonna just axe the sub soon? Honestly I prefer it over here, haven’t used reddit for a few weeks now and it’s great. I really wish we could get at least like 20-30% of our community here.

    I’m getting really sick of Libs constantly bringing up Trump every time a valid criticism of the current Dems in office gets brought up. I never realized it before, but American politics are so dependent on having a devil figure for people rally around or be afraid of. If it’s not Trump, it’s Putin and then back to Trump.

    Disclaimer: Not Pro-Trump, just an observation.

      Historia Civilis is pretty neat too, tho. His video of the assassination of Julius Caesar even recommends Parenti. Although he falls for the very same thing Parenti critices in the book, but still, a mostly harmless channel.

    Man is there anyone more exhausting to discuss with than lawyers/law students? They have to relate every god damn point back to law. A moral question? But the law says. An economic question? But the law says. Something regarding to sports? But the law says. They’re a walking is-ought fallacy.

    Yes, laws touch every aspect of our lives - doesn’t mean I’m going to base my understanding of the world on what is law and besides you can think about topics divorced from their legal background. We don’t have to discuss antitrust laws to say Elon Musk is a piece of shit ffs.

      Laws are there to protect the wealthy as well. Just because it’s law doesn’t mean you are right about every single thing.

      I had some law people in my ex’s family and they were seen as some holy peak of moralism for some reason. Some of them defended huge companies. Moral my ass.

      I share your frustration.
