  • I think it’s an extension of people only conceiving these things within capitalism (although they might call it techno feudalism or some shit), I remember the phrase “if you aren’t paying for something you’re the product” and thinking that so many people don’t realize we already have things that fall outside of that like so much of the FOSS ecosystem including Linux. It doesn’t help that this kind of messaging is so amplified by liberals on social media who refuse to see the real cause behind our current issues with AI and instead focusing on idealism.






  • So many redditors will become lemmurs

    More seriously the biggest problem with lemmy adoption is that it has less content (even if the quality is better), I don’t think every niche has enough people who’ll bother to set up equivalent communities here and of course there’s a learning curve too, but with some organization they could make the switch



  • I looked at the stuff shared in the article, which showcases people previously shot or otherwise hurt, which isn’t the same thing as a video showcasing the government shooting into a crowd or prosecuting peaceful protestors. The narrative you’re promoting isn’t corroborated by the evidence you’re sharing. The only thing I can verify with that is that people indeed got hurt, which even the Iranian government acknowledges.

    The organizations that “independently verified” these claims are western backed NGOs, regardless of the intentions of those working there they serve their donors, who have itched to plunder Iran for decades.


  • Amnesty lied in the past to support US imperialism, for example they claimed Gaddafi used mass rape as a tool for control (which was false), they also claimed that the Iraqi army disconnected over a hundred newborns from a hospital in Kuwait (which was also false), look at what happened to Iraq and Libya because of this kind of bullshit.

    Iran is far from perfect but you don’t see this hyperfixation on other countries that are demonstrably worse even though they don’t face massive economic sanctions (like Saudi Arabia and other GCC). And again, the US and its allies don’t care about the genocide of Muslims, but we’re supposed to believe they care about Iranians? And about Iranian women? The people who opened the war by killing over a hundred schoolgirls? Is that the freedom you envision?

    Again, if you’re gonna side with imperialist narratives we want evidence. Evidence like footage. Show me the footage of at least a dozen peaceful protestors in iran being killed by their evil government, because I haven’t found any of that. On the other hand I’ve seen footage of rioters (who weren’t peaceful at all) murdering civilians and setting mosques on fire. And again, I don’t particularly like the Iranian government, but my feelings about that don’t matter at all here, we’re talking about a country resisting an imperial war of aggression after surviving decades of imperialist economic warfare. Do you not know that western economic sanctions kill over half a million people wolrdwide every year? If not this war, is that what you support? Or how do you suggest we go about helping Iranians?
