    I just banned like 6 of them, dead or no-content accounts.

    Liberals using bot accounts to try to manipulate public opinion (as they do on reddit and the rest of the western internet), is gonna be one of the bigger problems in the fediverse for the foreseeable future, so we have to stay ahead of it.

    At this point they’re just targeting specific ppl like @[email protected], but they’ll eventually start doing it en masse.














  • The US has the highest prison population in the world, both per capita and by total numbers, along with a draconian legal system that locks people up for decades for minor crimes. They also literally do have immigrant prison camps currently holding ~30k people, many of whom have committed no crimes except for “not having papers”.

    The US absolutely does dissappear many people.







  • There’s a lot of marxist debate over this, but the general view is best shown by this phrase:

    “When the Spanish came to the americas, they demanded the peoples to become christians. When the English came, they wiped them out.”

    Even the Spanish Queen Isabella in the 1500s after Columbus’s voyages demanded that the indigenous peoples be considered subjects with full rights. The Spanish never tried to systematically wipe out the indigenous in the same way the english did.

    And by the time of Bolivar, a big chunk of Latin Americans were, although christian, supportive of indigenous resistance, and slave rebellions like in haiti. At the same time presidents in the US were decrying the haitian revolution and carrying out the largest scale genocide of our time.
