I guess what I'm getting at is that, just like with any race or nation or ethnicity or religious affiliation, Jewish capitalists have different interests compared to average Jews. To then act like the support of Jewish capitalists for the State of Israel is the result of them being Jews who happen to be capitalists, rather than them being capitalists who happen to be Jews, is incredibly... presumptuous, for lack of a better word? It's an analysis that treats the existence of the State of Israel as beneficial for average Jews, and treats Jewish capitalists as having the best interests of Jews as a whole at heart.
I dunno, that's how I see it, at least.
Yes, I am aware of how antisemitic attitudes replicate themselves in society, I just think it's gross to read and that North Korea as a socialist state should know better.
"Now in the U.S. Jews [...] control almost all fabrics of society"
Was this from KCNA or KKKCNA Jaysus what the fuck is this antisemitic nonsense
Do people outside Hexbear know what "bazinga brained" means? I kinda don't think they do.
"...also every 39 minutes they stab your balls"

As someone who has never seen the Boondocks but is very curious about it, where would we recommend one to watch it?
There are two YouTube channels I like about American Indian / Native American history. One is called Indigenous History Now (Invidious mirror) and the other is called Ancient Americas (Invidious mirror). Both of these focus on more long-form content.
I feel like there's no age where dressing up and knocking on doors becomes inappropriate. It's fun, it can increase social cohesion in a community, there's no reason for adults not to be a little silly, yadda yadda. Already now it's perfectly acceptable for an adult attending trick-or-treating children to dress up as well, but I think adults alone or in adult groups should be allowed to dress up as well.
But then there's the "asking for candy" part... Now I don't think there's any age where people should stop eating candy, either — but when you have the ability to easily buy (or even make) your own candy, then maybe it'd be a better idea to start giving out your candy to the houses you knock on, if you still want to go out in costume.
I dunno, just a thought. I wouldn't tell your sister to stop, though. We're all a little weird at the end of the day.
I'm from Norway and I immediately thought, "Well, Toten, maybe?" — though I personally hadn't heard any incest jokes about that place.
So I looked up "Norges Alabama", and the first result was a song by that title, about Toten, whose first line and refrain translates as, "I'm going out to ride, ride my cousin".
...So I guess I've heard incest jokes about Toten now.
On NewPipe I've added framatube.org, kolektiva.media, urbanists.video, mla.moe, makertube.net, peertube.1312.media
Adolf Hitler? Socialist.
Franklin Roosevelt? Socialist.
Joseph Stalin? Dare I say, he was a downright pinko!
The entirety of WWII was just leftist infighting over Trotskyist revisionism. Just a big ol' non-binary fuss over intercontinental ballistic tweets. Wake up, sheeple!
Votes for "keep" far outnumber votes for "delete". The discussion is mainly about whether to keep the article as-is or to rename it to something like "Yaroslav Hunka affair", which would include a biography.
Of all the things you can criticize Wikipedia for, this honestly just isn't one of them.
Can I recommend you a browser extension called Media Bias Fact Check? You can get it on Firefox and Chrome and probably other Chromium browsers too. On Chrome it's a featured extension while on Firefox it hasn't been audited by Mozilla's security team yet.
In any case, with MBFC installed, when you go to a website that it's rated, it will display a little icon in your toolbar showing that publication's bias or sometimes other info (such as "pro-science", "satire", "pseudoscience & conspiracy"). CounterPunch is rated as having a "left" bias. So evidently, CounterPunch is a major enough publication to be rated by MBFC, and not just some "random blog". MBFC provides this detailed report.
TL;DR: CounterPunch is a highly credible source, though it is also controversial for several reasons. CounterPunch has never failed a fact check, but has sometimes failed to provide hyperlinked sources and indicate opinion, and has a clear left-wing bias in story choice and language use. It is a 501c3 non-profit which generates revenue through book sales, donations, grants, and advertising.
When you encounter an unfamiliar news source online, it can also be a good idea to see if it's notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. The Wikipedia article might provide more useful information about the publication as well.
CounterPunch indeed is notable enough to have an English-language Wikipedia article. This article is thoroughly sourced, frequently edited, and has existed since December 21st, 2003 — making "CounterPunch" one of the first 500,000 articles to be published on Wikipedia, when Wikipedia was just under three years old... I feel like that says something about how notable CounterPunch is.

Of course, Wikipedia should only be blindly trusted to the same extent as memes shared by random people. Make sure to check the references, sources, and external links.
My friend, you're on the fediverse and saying that a single website would be the best way to achieve this. I think that decentralization such as federation or peer-to-peer would be a much better way to achieve a pirate's utopia, because the decentralized approach guarantees that even if one part falls, the whole will remain.
That aside, if I can talk about "What other features would make the ideal file sharing site?" — for a pirate video streaming site in particular, my number one feature would easily be community-contributed subtitles. In the list of subtitle tracks, each track would have two checkboxes, one for text and the other for TTS (this would be used for audio description and makeshift voice-over dubs). For rarer languages without reliable TTS, users would be encouraged to submit voice recordings, which might be anonymized with AI to sound like the TTS voice.
Subtitling would be done with a danmaku-esque system, so that people can choose to contribute just a few pieces here and there and wait for other contributors or continue later, rather than just one person needing to subtitle everything. Users might be able to rate subtitle tracks based on quality and completeness, too. A system of upvotes and downvotes on individual subtitles, as well as both manual and automated moderation, would prevent abuse.
What I'll never be able to understand is why people seem to think that stuff like this is going to convince anybody to change their views on... well, anything, really.
All of this stuff is stuff that we've heard repeated ad nauseam in school, in educational video cassette children's cartoons, in political commentary on TV and in print editorials, in public speeches by government officials, in conversations with people we know, and so forth. Belief in the separation of powers and checks-and-balances being effective as implemented in a liberal democracy, is such an ingrained part of mainstream understanding of politics literally since early childhood, that anyone who believes to the contrary must necessarily already be familiar with the arguments for it, and have rejected them.
This is a question I've been wondering for a while, but no matter how much I search, I just can't find any relevant results. I'm hoping that the people of this community can provide some resources about this topic, or if nothing else some interesting conjecture or discussion.
The sort of specific inspiration behind this question was thinking about how autistic people are a source of very innovative language use, and are often more likely to acquire and never unlearn "wrong" forms of words or grammar. A handful of linguistic traits that I've seen pathologized in autistic people where I live are more or less accepted in the speech of some other speech communities around the world. So, given some people's beliefs on the role of autistic people in prehistory, could a historical speech community looking to adopt distinctive speech patterns, turn to its neurodiverse population for inspiration?
But I'm also curious about disabilities or disorders aside from autism. How have things like deafness/hearing impairment, blindness/visual impairment, facial paralysis or motor issues, dyslexia, intellectual disability, limb loss, and so forth, affected spoken language, written language, and signed language, as used by language communities as a whole? With regard to sign language, I've heard that the high rate of blindness among the Deaf community of Honduras' Bay Islands resulted in the development of a tactile form of the local village sign. I'm sure that given the rate of disability prior to modern medicine, probably especially among venerated elders, that some amount of language development in the world must have been motivated by accessibility in the same way as BISL — or at the very least caused by inaccessibility, i.e. mishearings or mispronunciations due to disability getting passed on to abled acquaintances.
So yeah. Even though most of the world has for a pretty long time now been pretty ableist, and this is reflected in many languages' vocabularies, I'm still wondering if there are any linguistic clues that our abled ancestors did in fact try to take good care of their disabled brethren. This is what the archaeological record seems to show, so how about the linguistic record?
