THIS is why people have a problem with “tankies.”

Budapest, 1956.

And these “coins” are actually tokens. Not only are they not backed by any real assets (venture capital, real estate, etc), the damn things don’t even exist in reality!

Meanwhile, back in reality:

The venture was co-ordinated by CIC Digital LLC - an affiliate of the Trump Organization - which has previously sold Trump-branded shoes and fragrances.

Meme coins are used to build popularity for a viral internet trend or movement, but they lack intrinsic value and are extremely volatile investments.

Just because you SAY something is “worth hundreds of billions” does not mean it is actually WORTH hundreds of billions.

TikTok is owned by ByteDance, which is owned by the CCP. Why make it easy for foreign governments to spread agit-prop in your country If you don’t have to?

Passing eagle: “Hey! Do you guys need a ride?”

This. Also, whatever is going on in China and Russia is NOT “communism.” Those are oligarchies, where a small number of billionaires use the news media to keep the lower and middle classes fighting with each other, while the rich keep running off with all the f*cking money.

Bethesda finally upgrades from its Creation Engine.

“Well, that only took 20 f*cking years!”

The rumors that Zuckerberg smuggled several tons of heroin out of Afghanistan are completely untrue.

It was actually meth.

TikTok is owned by ByteDance, which is a front for the Chinese Communist Party. It’s being used by the CCP to spread agit-prop and self-destructive crap.

Other countries use their “social media platforms” the same way, but that’s no reason to make it easy for other governments to destabilize your society.

There’s currently about 600 lemmy instances, in many different countries, and those countries each have different laws regarding the protection of speech. Some of it is also just power-tripping mods or left-wing / right-wing censorship.

If this is happening to a community you like, you can always switch to the same community in a different instance. Eventually, the “official” community will have the most subscribers and the community with the censorship problems will wither and die.

I guess that meme was a great success.

It’s like these people got trolled by 4chan and believed every single word they said.

Just because the Nazis called themselves the “national socialist party” did NOT make them communists. They called themselves that to attract naive revolutionary idiots who thought the government would help them. But they were always fascists.

North Korea calls itself “The People’s Democratic Republic of North Korea” even though is not the People’s, not Democratic, and definitely not a Republic. It’s a marketing gimmick by the government to pretend that it’s something it isn’t.

Well that makes TWO things I won’t be getting.

She died of a broken script . . .

“Triggered?”

No. Because I don’t care what dumb people think.
