You must be pretty uneducated to think that USA did not mess with Europe economy, politics, society etc etc.
I mean for fuck sake, USA was both funding and directing terrorist attacks all over the Europe up until 1990s
(Years of Lead, Operation Gladio...)
Oh I'm well aware, but seems like a lot of Europeans are not.
Tell me when America didn't mess with all countries politics, tell me, I'm waiting.
For a brief moment on September 10th, 2001, the CIA took a relaxing spa day.
It been interesting to see white people in Canada afraid of being colonized while vehemently downplaying the Indigenous people's grievances as "why can't they just accept the culture they've been given?" So close to self awareness but will never get there.
Seriously, when Indigenous groups pushed back on Carney's "elbows up" nation building projects, I saw so many comments from internet geniuses along the lines of "they're trying to treat this like their inter-tribal relations where they demand soverignty and veto power on anything that goes on in their territory at any point in the process, unfortunately that's not how Western investment and development work." Yeah, it really is fucking unfortunate that we're still denying them their culture and ways of doing things.
That's too funny, it would be more hilarious and real if you put like 100 faces there in the bottom.
Canada: Nope, not the first, but it's been a while.
The difference is that we used to stand behind the bully egging him on.
It so terrible, America ruined everything. Before America everyone lived in peace and treated each other respectfully. No wars, no violence, just Western Europe chillin together trying to get to know the middle east on a more personal and religious level 🙄.
typical lemmy.world shit take
I'm beginning to think that the whole reason lemmy.world exists is to remind us why we left reddit
i'm still convinced that .world was either a psyop or became a captured instance to ensure that as few defecting redditors join any of the pro-leftist instances as possible.
it's the only thing that explains why it was so heavily promoted on so many subreddits instead of lemmy.ml when it had nothing to offer at the beginning of the reddit protests and why there was a coordinated effort to defederat the leftist core instances throughout the lemmyverse.
now piefed is getting that same treatment from reddit and they literally used the same pics as before, but edited out .world in favor of piefed
yeah the direct reddit tie in with world and piefed definitely feels sketch af
i used to wonder if this made me a conspiracy theorist; but the whole tiktok situation combined w watching the cartel humiliate sheinbaum on social media as they retaliate for the us empire's directed assassination of el mencho has convinced me that they're not above using all social media platforms to maintain their grip on the narrative.
and they're really good at it too; they must have learned a lot from the tiktok/4chan/reddit man-o-spheres.
yeah, and also stuff like this that's been going on forever https://hrnews1.substack.com/p/feminist-icon-gloria-steinem-was
There was a concerted effort by some to recruit of reddit to the fediverse. They have an "anti-tankie" bias and so directed users to instances accordingly. They're currently recruiting off reddit to piefed as well.
It wasn't a psyop as much as people that liked lemmy and wanted it to grow taking action and the government propaganda brainworms steering it in a more pro-US direction.
💯
Same with piefed. Bringing so much of the worst parts of reddit to the fediverse
and unapologetically so too
Pointing it out to others causes them to go
well it can show trolls so I like it even if it is a social credit score
https://lemmy.world/comment/22335038
sure the dev designed and implemented it that way but they aren't the one downvoting...
incidentally, a good dive into the sketchy stuff the dev baked into piefed https://lemmy.ml/post/42049895/23496934
Yeah but according to the dev only they can explain it and anyone saying otherwise is wrong...
lmao
i avoided using blocklists on any social media platform that i been using since 1996 and piefed is the first time i used it.
Only surprised don't have pj blocked. Had to do that and the lw flat earth mod
says a .ml user
(obviously not all .ml users are bad, many sign up without realizing that .ml has a bad reputation, but .ml is pro-tankie and the admins are tankies)
you are correct, .world is too reddit-like
Are you trying to say communists control Reddit? Lemmy was made by communists, of course communists are going to be here.
Are you trying to say communists control Reddit?
no
Then why are you saying it's hypocritical for a Lemmy.ml user to say that Lemmy.world reminds us of Reddit? It's pretty normal that us communists would leave Reddit for Lemmy.
aww dronie is mad
I guess we shouldn't be angry that we got our countries coup'd, bombed, invaded and sanction by the US, they're poor smol beans, can't be held accountable for genociding hundreds of millions
🤡

What goes around…
What, concretely, has america actually done to Europe and Canada though? It mostly just seems like trump saying dumb shit that insults their honor. I guess he's done some tarrifs but that's nothing compared to the bombings, regime change, extractivism, sanctions etc. that the rest of the world gets.
It's more like the rest of the world is on the gallows while Europe and Canada are in the pillory yelling about their new found solidarity.
Blow up energy pipelines, have them sanction russia. Just do everything to cut them off the only other nation that can compete with yankeeland in the energy business for europes demand. As a result we are more isolated and dependent on yankeeland oil.
Except this time America's leader is allied with those other countries.
What do you mean? Are you saying Trump is allied with the global south?
If by "Global South" you mean Russia and North Korea, then sure.
"The incredible evil of the US is ok because the world wasn't a utopia previously."
Lol wat? Europe got hard fucked by The US straight up reneging on military alliance TWICE!
The second time they spent 3 years being like "hey that Hitler guy has some good points, you know..."
Fucks sake
