Redtea is giving you the kind of deep questioning we do here to understand your first question. It's not a question for you to answer. It's the reasoning behind us questioning Wikipedia editors. And a really great job at that. He was really thoughtful, I don't think I'd be able to go to the same level of detail.

The log will likely show that whoever came up with these questions was overruled, and for drawing lines and editorial choices, they went with a prominent Russia flag on one side, against a "neutral" link that may or may not contain NATO countries in it. See, these choices are not neutral. These choices follow the same choices regarding international politics as the big media conglomerates sponsored by the US financial system. How likely is that a coincidence?

I can agree with you that the updated list is better. But the summary still leans one way. At least it gives people some chance to go deeper, now. Still, most people won't, so it's fair to expect most people will just think Russia vs Ukraine. With some suppliers around them. 'Probably "terrorists" and "dictators" (also terminology used by the same finance-system financed media) behind Russia, since we're good guys and they're bad guys, duh.'

NATO involvement, in supplying Ukraine with weapons and intel, I suppose?

It's probably fair to say that Zelenski isn't actually calling the shots for Ukraine, for example? In which case, what is the actual actual sovereign entity involved in the conflict, on Ukraine's side?

Thanks for biting. :)

One more from one of my favourite news podcast. Not outspokenly communist, but based as fuck. And sprinkled with fun editing. ;)

I wasn't aware of the controversy, but I'm not surprised it's yet another mess caused by the existence of the British empire.

If they're Brazilian, we have a few comrades doing really great comms on youtube: Jones Manoel, Ian Neves, João Carvalho, Humberto Matos, to name a few.

This is a 2h30 long lecture for web on the topic. With almos 600k views.

https://youtu.be/JwDDPwGT7UQ?t=3m33s Or this, in 20 minutes, hot from today.

Theres also the podcast xadrez verbal. Two historians discussing international politics weekly, adding a lot of historical context to current event. Not revolutionary, but it brought me much closer to the lemmygrad line. Their coverage after Oct 7 was almost 8 hours long. https://youtu.be/gDaChPREsd8?t=13m54s

Uhm. Maybe they don't need that much, but if conversation open up, there's a few sources there. All of them really great at explaining the historical context around everything.

We also have c/Brazil, here... For later. Best of luck!

Your work is beautiful, comrades.

The AI generated videos are too real! It's all fake! /s

That's how I know it's not satire. Nothing in his argument is tied into anything.

When I left reddit for lemmy I noticed that any instance blocking lemmygrad would become a shitshow very quick.

I regret nothing.

They never report casualties. Unless someone leaks irrefutable evidence. And even then. Not always.

My read is that:

• dialectical relates to the tension between opposites. Pick "anything", there's something else in conflict with it, causing it to be, or not to be. This contrasts with a frictionless immutable analysis, where there's no interaction between the "anything" you're analysing and it's surrounding context.

• historical means that this analysis is applied to historical aspects of society.

• materialism means that any support on the analysis must be originate in material reality, with as much context as possible. In contrast with idealism, which is kind of moral judgement on what things look like, or should be.

Am I too far off?

Boa!

You guys ever plan to occupy Instagram/tiktok space?

For short term help you can probably- try to reach out to https://hexbear.net/c/mutual_aid or https://lemmygrad.ml/c/mutual_aid@hexbear.net. It's the same I'm not sure how to link.

It could buy you some time. I'm sorry I can't do much more.

Hey, welcome! I hope you find hope and support around here. :)

From each according to their skill, to each according to their needs!

We will get there. In the meantime we look for a way to survive and contribute to he cause I guess?

In the short term, are you looking for problem solving and advice, or just a safe space to vent?

They apparently have accidentally the whole thing.

That was entertaining, thank you.

I'm there, too. Side by side with eco-Marxism. D:

More people would be able to innovate on said "non IP". Multiple lines could be developed by multiple independent teams, extending the non ip however they see fit. By encouraging competition, the better content would thrive.

It lowers the barrier of entry, enforcing competition and lowering distribution cost. And without the ludicrous profit margins and legal overhead from big conglomerates, it would be cheaper for the consumers, and more of the fees could be distributed to the actual people working on the creation.

This is prettyranty, sorry if it's not too clearly articulated.

Come join us on lemmygrad!
