I think this community shouldn't use the Juche calendar anymore, because the DPRK and KWP have ceased use of it as of the 1st of January 2025 in all official media. So it's not really honoring Korea anymore.
I think its mostly a joke.
That’s what I’ve deduced at this point.
I mean it can’t be that serious considering the community logo is Xi with laser eyes lmaooo
Will we still be able to practice Juche necromancy?
You're going to ban me from a community because some shithead white dude desperate to go to bat for rich white dudes unironically called the organisation that publishes SEAFOOD WATCH and pioneered FORCIBLY BREEDING JELLYFISH a fucking animal sanctuary?
Tell me you're a reactionary without telling me.
You were given a 1-day temp ban in that specific community (now for the whole instance) for acting in bad faith and abruptly insulting another user (instance rule 3). Please use this time to calm down.
That's a ridiculous argument to make on an instance that frequently calls for death to various reactionaries. Your position on this fundamentally comes down to your own reactionary position on non-human animals, in seeing thinking, feeling, independent beings as the same as or little better than objects. Eiren's anger was fully justified at someone who was advocating for a concentration camp.
Would you ban someone who insulted a reactionary that said, for example, that Native American reservations were a good thing and that the schools native children were sent to were a 'charity' that helped them by giving them an education? I'm sure you wouldn't ban someone for insulting a reactionary like that. You'd rather ban the reactionary. You'd understand why someone was angry at a reactionary who said that. That you take the opposite approach here is no fault of Eiren's, but rather your reactionary beliefs.
If you think that that's an unfair thing to say, or that it's ridiculous to compare humans and non-human animals, once again this attitude just stems from your own reactionary position. Humans are animals, there's no reason not to compare them. Non-human animals are capable of feeling emotions like fear, pain, suffering, stress and also joy, happiness, bonds etc. They don't want to die. They don't want to be caged. They don't want to be raped. They don't want their children ripped away from them shortly after they're born. These are all object scientific facts. There is no reason not to consider non-human animals to be people and to treat them with the dignity that that entails.

Translation of the message:
Leaving Reddit and X because this past week has been chaotic and I felt that I couldn't take it anymore, is the world going absolutely fucking mad? Yankee Stadium (FTY btw) honoring a hateful, homophobic, piece of crap; the NFL too! James Hetfield vows to take care of this dude's kids for the rest of their life, what the fuck? Reddit and X are filled with misinformation, calls to punish the left, non-sensical arguments constantly being thrown as facts. For a few days, I could not make sense of things!
I use Reddit for mostly non-political stuff, but last week was chaotic. My use of X has been sporadic because I know it's a shithole, but even the accounts I follow for science and stuff like that were posting or reposting a heavy dose of insanity. Things make more sense in here <3
whats up with celebrities trying to take care of his kids? the dude was richer than them lmao, i know Hetfield is MAGA but also saw that David Ortiz vowed to do the same? BRO THE PEOPLE FROM YOUR COUNTRY NEED IT MORE THAN HIS KIDS
Those two shitholes of a social media must go what most people don’t realize is that most of the content on twitter and Reddit are just bots that side of the internet is dead
For a better world, we will win.
Let's gooooo!

Ah I wish that I could buy and show a billboard like this in my country:
If anyone's looking to pick up a new book this is your sign to read Dark Days in Ghana by Kwame Nkrumah
Weekly Palestine demo in my city today and our party invited Chris Smalls from the Amazon union struggle and the Freedom Flotilla as he was at our festival this weekend. Pretty dope.
Also, fall weather is upon us and that's totally my jam
This is my 100th comment on Lemmy. Figured it's only fitting to have it here in the General.
Thanks to everyone in the community, I've been learning a lot here <3
Stealing some inspiration from Oppo, here's a picture of a mighty-fine critter.
