He says that because the creators are tankies and so were the first communities built around them like .ml administrated by the creators. Last year's Redditors migration after the API change moved the political center more towards social democracy and the people center towards .world.

I'm part of these people, I think most of them are social democrat and don't have any illusion about supposedly socialist countries.
Yes, they are a minority since .world became the biggest player, but they are still very visible if you mention those subjects and countries, they are going to pop up.

I agree, but I believe they don't like being called like that and they think they are defending socialism.

No, he's not. He's talking about supposedly-socialist people in the USA who idealize vaguely socialism related countries like Russia or China, and think they would have a better life in these countries.

Boustrophedon is a style of writing in which alternate lines of writing are reversed, with letters also written in reverse, mirror-style.  The original term comes from Ancient Greek: "like the ox turns [while plowing]". It is mostly seen in ancient manuscripts and other inscriptions. It was a common way of writing on stone in Ancient Greece. A fun variation is the reverse boustrophedon: the text in alternate lines is rotated 180 degrees rather than mirrored. The reader begins at the bottom left-hand corner of a tablet, reads a line from left to right, then rotates the tablet 180 degrees to continue on the next line from left to right again. When reading one line, the lines above and below it appear upside down.  I heard about it on a podcast about the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island. They use used the reverse boustrophedon style for their system of glyphs called Rongorongo, which remains undeciphered.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rongorongo

Is there still something communist in their economy? Are the people working 9 am to 9 pm 6 days a week, owning their means of production?

I'm not from .world and also complain about it sometimes. In my opinion, it's a legitimate reason that makes Lemmy less attractive, as a consequence, you have to set up blockers to keep your sanity which is a hassle for the average user.

Her argument is that "Parliamentary assistants do not work for the Parliament. They are political assistants to elected officials, political by definition", so basically she says they can do whatever they want with the EU Parliament money if it is the decision of an elected person, which is clearly not the rules for this fund and she knows it.
To make it juicer, they found records of her party members explicitly estimating that they should not do that because it is embezzlement.
For context, this comes from a time when her party wanted Frexit similarly to the Brexit party in the UK, which the same irrational arguments. So misusing EU money was completely aligned with their idea to damage the relation. Turns out, Frexit was very unpopular even within right wing French people, so they pivoted to some kind of small EU now.

>When the snow leopard sprang into action, Donglin assumed it was in pursuit of a marmot, not seeing, at first, the Pallas’s cat that ‘blended in so well with the rocks’. The little cat fled, but its short legs were no match for the muscular snow leopard, its long, thick tail helping it balance as it ran down the slope. In less than a minute, the snow leopard had its prey in its jaws, and proceeded to carry it back to its den. > >Both species are very well camouflaged and extremely hard to spot. While large birds of prey and wolves are known to hunt Pallas’s cats, it’s rare to see them hunted by snow leopards. > >Donglin understood the young leopard’s need to hunt but was heartbroken at the loss of the Pallas’s cat. She explains, ‘the cat had three two-month-old kittens, not yet independent, hidden in an empty marmot’s burrow nearby’. > >After discussions with the guide and forest rangers, Donglin obtained permission from the local government for road-killed pikas to be left near the den. Three weeks later, the kittens were hunting by themselves, and not long after, two of them were seen with their aunt and its litter of five. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/wpy/gallery/2023-race-for-life

Nous avons développé des méthodes pour analyser les dynamiques sociales et de débats, ainsi que les manipulations d’opinions. > >Permettant de passer en accéléré ces dynamiques sociales, il est possible de caractériser un processus d’affaiblissement puis d’inversion du front républicain à l’approche des législatives de 2024 et d’identifier les stratégies de subversion qui l’ont favorisé. Ces stratégies de basse intensité, pilotées ou influencées pour la plupart par le Kremlin, se déploient sur des échelles de temps trop longues pour que les acteurs du débat en aient conscience. Elles visent à déstructurer la société française de manière systémique pour provoquer une transition vers une société fermée ou une démocratie illibérale. > >Dans un contexte de reconfiguration brutale de l’espace politique suite à la dissolution de l’Assemblée nationale, les efforts du Kremlin sont sur le point de payer. Cette étude identifie une convergence d’intérêts entre le régime de Poutine et l’extrême-droite française. Elle explicite certaines mesures actives mises en place par le Kremlin depuis au moins 2016 pour déstabiliser la société française et montre comment certaines d’entre-elles entrent en synergie ces jours-ci pour faire tomber voire s’inverser le front républicain. Ceci est la dernière étape avant la prise de contrôle de la France par des personnalités politiques moins hostiles au régime de Poutine. > >Dans ce dispositif, les communautés politiques préoccupées par le conflit israélo-palestinien et la montée de l’antisémitisme ou de l’islamophobie sont instrumentalisées afin de compromettre tout barrage contre une extrême-droite banalisée au second tour des législatives.

Appât facile pour Lemmy ! Plus sérieusement, je trouve l'idée intéressante de dire que LFI n'est pas d'extrême gauche quand on compare au NPA ou au programme de Mitterrand. Mais j'ai l'impression qu'on peut appliquer le même raisonnement pour dire que le RN n'est pas aussi extrême que son origine, je ne suis pas convaincu par les arguments de l'article. > Selon la définition de Jean-Etienne Dubois, dans son ouvrage l’Extrême droite française, les partis d'« extrême droite » sont « les organisations qui contestent le système politique républicain et démocratique (anti-électoralisme, antiparlementarisme, aspirations autoritaires, etc.) et/ou le caractère universel des valeurs républicaines de liberté et d’égalité (antisémitisme, racisme, xénophobie, etc.) ». Qu'est-ce qui dans les programmes du RN de ces dernières années match avec cette définition de l'extrême droite ? > Ainsi, « l’origine [du Front national, devenu Rassemblement national], son noyau de militants et les références idéologiques diverses qui s’y côtoient inscrivent indubitablement l’histoire de ce parti dans la filiation de l’extrême droite française ». Il y a des origines puantes dans à peu près tous les partis (ex : Mitterrand et Vichy, communistes et Staline, les partis gaulliste et la décolonisation, etc.), est-ce qu'on peut essentialiser un groupe politique à son origine pour toujours ? Est-ce que les nouveaux votants que le RN a gagnés aux élections de ces dernières années sont des racistes anti-démocrates ? Ou est-ce qu'ils sont simplement séduits par le savant mélange de populisme de droite (anti-immigration) et de gauche (anti-élite) que le RN cuisine depuis le début de son entreprise de dédiabolisation ?

> I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything. There are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask "Why are we here?" I might think about it a little bit, and if I can't figure it out then I go on to something else. But I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose - which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell.

oce@ jlai.luI try to contribute to things getting better, sometimes through polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with your comment ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let's discuss to refine the arguments that make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.
