A lot less annoying then endlessly filtering content by community and user

    So far I find it to be nonsense. Call the US a terrorist nation for couping democratically elected leader in favour of dictators for over a hundred years, get downvoted and banned by amerophiles. Call China or Russia terrorist nations for literal genocide, wars and international strongman bullying, get downvoted and banned by tankies.

    Can’t say retard because that’s a slur but idiot is fine despite it meaning the absolutely same thing, also calling someone slow but in french is also fine.

    People are so hardcore pro privacy would literally rather see child rapists go free and child porn platforms stay online, than to have to tolerate the police scan outgoing connections for a specific IP for three days.

    Lemmy feels more and more like extremist echo chambers without any actual discourse or exchange.

        Yeah CIA likes to overthrow foreign governments, some democratically elected, and destabilize nations. They say they don’t do it anymore but who knows. It’s pretty public knowledge.

        Edit: I live in America and it’s like that thing where you can talk shit about your own family.

          I meant the “for over a hundred years” part specifically, I bolded it but it’s not as noticeable as it should be.

            oh yeah for sure. Dude they orchestrated a coup and took over Hawaii in the like 1800s.

            Plus I think there was fuckery in Latin America even back then.

              The Monroe Doctrine has been a guiding principle of American geopolitics since its conceptualization in 1823, whether or not America has had the power to necessarily enforce it.

              The goal is clear, the Western Hemisphere is America’s property to do with as it pleases and interference will not be tolerated.

              Just the history of Haiti alone and the Banana Wars in general proves the point for at least 100 years.

      This does not make sense. If police suspect a crime and have valid reasons for surveillance, nobody would have an issue with it warrant was obtained.

      Privacy crowd is pretty clear, we are not here to enable crime. But we will not tolerate police state for a fake feeling of “security”

      Can you provide some context what you are actually trying to say here?
