Would be great if some of them ended up in the Russian Gulag

Julian Assange is a bootlicker and Kremlin stooge who sold us out to the American and Russian billionaires. The Mueller Report proved he was explicitly trying to get Treason Trump elected and working with Putin to push disinformation to that end.
Curious, coming from a LW account
Why are you curious. On a decentralized platform, It matters where you post TO, not where you post FROM. Anybody can easily switch to posting from another platform.
Thanks for the list!
I’ve heard bad things about hexbear and beehaw. But I looked at these other two.
!politics@sh.itjust.works – unfortunately too many dumb restrictions.
Rule: Title must match the article headline <-- definitely a deal killer because often journalists use dumb headlines or leave the most important things out of the headline.
Rule Recent (Past 30 Days) <-- also a deal killer. Relevant is more important the recent. They are not the same things. “Recent” is only an imperfect proxy for “relevant”.
usa@midwest.social – We have a winner!
Rule: Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech. <-- perfect
I would also welcome suggestions for “news” groups outside of lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. usnews@lemy.lol is okay so far but I’m always looking for possible alternatives.
It doesn’t matter where your account is. If someone kills your account you can quickly switch to another lemmy instance and resub to all your communities.
I have had content nuked first from news@lemmy.world and then from politics@lemmy.world and as a result I rarely use them to submit content. I specifically went to politics@lemmy.ml because politics@lemmy.world was censoring my content.
Or are you just saying its too big?
It’s too big. And it has dumb restrictions like no video content. But also, I had a very popular posting just completely nuked by the mod of politics@lemmy.world and the entire advanced discussion was suddenly lost, forcing me to recreate the discussion on politics@lemmy.ml. Ever since I’ve been posting content to lemmy.ml instead of lemmy.world. Mainly important things missing from politics@lemmy.world or that they took down.
But aside from all that, we absolutely need redundancy on lemmy for major stuff like news and politics. Mods will abuse their power because they all want to “control the experience” instead of just do the basics. I’ve also had content nuked for no reason on news@lemmy.world also and as a result I mostly use usnews@lemy.lol instead although I’m open for alternate news site suggestions too.
You just make an announcement on the community, or on !newcommunities@lemmy.world if you are splitting from a power tripping mod.
How does this work? Are you just talking about starting a new group on the same server?
We need large “sibling” instances rather than monoliths like .world, which is to say nothing of the politics of the instance.
Absolutely 1000%
This also highlights the destructiveness of toxic moderation. There is plenty of it here too
I can’t believe that lemmy mods/admins still think they have the luxury of making bone headed moves in a decentralized network. I am determined to get around this and it is the entire reason I am on a decentralized system. We vote with our feet and in the long term it will all work out. I am looking for suggestions for a politics group that is not lemmy.world and not lemmy.ml.
Geez even with decentralization we still have people making bone headed decisions. What is the best/strongest politics group that is not lemmy.ml nor lemmy.world?
Geez I can’t believe a major group was nuked just like that. I never noticed anything about it being unmoderated but thank you for providing the explanation.
the Iranian exiles that fled after the overthrow of the Shah, tend to be part of the old ruling class that had disempowered.
And the people stuck behind are the people who don’t view the regime as legitimate in this article.
Let’s look at your 3 criteria one by one:
or internal support
The regime is definitely illegitimate in eyes of the people, as proven by the fact that most people stayed away from the sham election where their only choices was between archconservatives and reactionaries.
the context of international relations,
The US has had no diplomatic relations with Iran since 1979 and does not recognize that regime as legitimate.
and control.
Yes they do control people. With torture and murder. But torture and murder is not really viewed as a legitimate way for countries to control their population.
The Supreme Dictator regime is in most ways worse than the Shah. The Shah didn’t make women wear ridiculous clothes and arrest people for making dancing videos about being happy.
He failed to legitimize the government that has been ruling the country since 1979…?
The monarchy system of the Shah lasted 2500 years. Not sure what the point it.
You don’t have to support theocracy to recognize the absurdity of claiming that a government that’s been in charge for 50 years, and is recognized around the world, is somehow illegitimate.
It is illegitimate as a democracy and government that represents its own people. People are protesting the fakeness of the election by not voting.
So like Poland was the worst country in Europe to live in at the start of WW2. Not because Poland was bad but because Germany and Russia were bad and would both soon be just as bad to live in as Poland.
Nobody’s average soldier age is 45. Has nothing to do NK being rock bottom in country rankings. And the younger you are in NK, the more you are probably screwed.
Considering that North Korea is literally the worse country in the world to live it, this is super likely to be an attractive offer.
The Neo-Nazis are in Russia working with NK.
The Axis of Evil
Treason Trump - War Criminal Putin - Caligula Jong Un - Comrade Xi
What can “the west” really do to prevent or stop troops from NK being sent to the Ukraine front?
Drop leaflets on them inviting them to surrender and upgrade their lives to South Korean national.
And if you don’t like Kursk there are free accommodations at the Gulags.
