I think it’s pretty credible if both sides are saying it and Duda did indeed say it.

The Kyiv Independent: ‘If someone doesn’t like it, we’ll close it’ — Poland’s Duda calls out Ukraine, allies over attitudes toward key military aid hub

get over yourself tankies - neoliberalism won!

Okay, Fukuyama, let’s get you back to Reddit.

Some instances defederated from lemvotes.org, which is why it doesn’t work on them. I’d like to know why lemmy.world hasn’t done it.

When you come across vote manipulation, I think the thing to do is report them to the mods/admins and let them handle it.

TBF, there were also the Jewish Zionist collaborators who sold out the “Mauschel” Jews in exchange for passage to Palestine, and whose grandchildren are committing genocide there right now.

Probably most admins prefer not to facilitate petty lemming drama threads like this one.

It hasn’t been true for some time now and is generally found to be credible and fairly unbiased

And I have a bridge to sell you. It’s as much a CIA cut-out as it ever was.

And MBFC

MBFC is shite. Of course it’s going to give RT a worse rating than RFE: It’s run by an American physical therapist as his side gig.

A lot of Radio Free Asia literally is fake news. Most of their “sources” are anonymous/unnamed. They’re just, “trust me bro.” They make stuff up all the time, especially about North Korea, because they know no one’s going to fact-check them.

That must have happened with an alt account, because it wasn’t this one:

If I were a dead US civil rights leader and the military named a ship after me, I’d be rolling in my gave over the perversion & debasement of what I’d stood for.

The monomyth problem is global.

What is the “monomyth problem”?

Russia freaked out and thought the Arab Spring was active measures by the Pentagon, it wasn’t.

Links or it didn’t happen.

You’ve gotten banned from four instances already for misogyny. I wonder how long before your own instance bans you.

As a German defence company, we feel a special responsibility to contribute to the culture of remembrance and commemoration in the context of the Second World War. We have thoroughly examined and documented our role and our transgressions during the Nazi era.

Oh no, not VoA, RFE, and RFA! Where am I going to get my US imperialist talking points from now, CNN?

VOA specifically has been active since the 1940s, where it broadcast stories into Germany that were meant to counter Nazi propaganda.

No mention of the decades anti-Communist propaganda, huh? Pepperidge Farm remembers when Mother Jones was actually leftist.

Liberalism and fascism have more in common than you think, which is why socialists often say, “scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.”

I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
