I made a post on antiwork yesterday about all the additional comments underneath the top comments that just don’t exist when you go to expand them. Made a screen grab video of it. In one case it said there were 48 comments but you open them and nothing then you scroll to the end it said 458 comments and there were like maybe 40-50 it’s ridiculous what a corporate bootlicking shithole reddit now obviously is. At least it was better hidden before.
Too late. You’ve taken a ride on the intellectual equivalent of the lolita express.
Dee dee would approve
Ephebophilia, ephie for short🤣💀😵💫
But Reddit sent a mass message to moderators telling them how they were expected to moderate any content praising the extra judicial murder of brian Thompson or calling for more political violence against the bourgeoisie…… and now reddit is sending people the same automated response about how liking banned content is against their policy and can lead tk further punitive action against ones account. Basically threatening moderators with banning of the communities they moderate if they did not follow their censorship memorandum. Even before this last summer my account was permanently IP banned for a comment on a post about israel/palestine that essentially said international law states an occupied indigenous population has the right to defend itself by any means necessary including violent resistance. And i was definitely not the first to experience such censorship.
Lmao. Balfour was a puppey for lord rothschild. The balfour declaration pretty much stated they intended to give palestine to the zionists way before 1948.
Theodore herzl went to Rothschild and asked for 15 million pounds (over 2 billion in today’s money) to buy Palestine from the ottomans but rothschild refused because why would they pay for it when he already owned the British empire through financial dominance. So he pressured the british to take it from the ottomans and then clandestinely funded all these Zionist terrorist groups to make it prohibitively expensive for the British to maintain their occupation and subsequently hasten the transfer of the land to the Zionists
Not all people of the jewish faith are Zionists. Many Palestinian jews were slaughtered by Zionists during their terrorism spree before 1948. And there was no such thing as islamic extremism before the 1960’s so zionism created modern islamic extremist terrorism.
You just seem to choose to believe that history books are factual and unbiased when this is far from the truth. Remember ghislane maxwell’s father who was a Mossad asset was involved in the publishing of school textbooks and maxwell herself was even a moderator on many reddit groups pertaining to world events and current news.
And today mossad is funding massive social media troll farms to sway public perception and manipulate the narrative when it suits them. Zionism is evil and to say the rothschild family has not been directly involved with zionism since the late 19th century is just ignorant of reality. The Rothschild family has a long history of funding and arming both sides of military conflicts to profit regardless who wins or loses. They definitely have the wealth to use PR to manipulate their public image to their advantage. The whole “anyone who talks bad about the Rothschild family is an antisemitic nazi” is such clever redirecting propaganda. How can someone who is an anti fascist leftist critical of israel Be anti semitic? There are many jewish people who are also critical of israel. Israel is definitely a fascist regime committing genocide and ethnic cleansing and the history of who funded and empowered those responsible for israel’s current crimes against humanity is important to dissect snd investigate regardless who it makes angry. hasbarah is a real tactic used by zionists to attack their critics and the whole “anyone who says this and this or this about israel and or the Rothschild family” is just hasbarah misdirection.
US “journalism” since the Reagan and bush sr. administrations both vetoed attempts to legislate the fairness in media doctrine have become blatant capitalist propaganda. Of course the west is going to condemn any rebel group that aims to re appropriate resources stolen from the people by repressive oligarchs like the saudi’s and other nations complicit in the western exploitation of looted third world resources for pennies on the dollar in the name of maximizing corporate profits. Im pretty sure the british said some nasty things after the boston tea party too. Rebels are always looked at as terrorists to those in power who commit war crimes with impunity. Those with the money who own the media dictate the narrative.
I just peruse to see the news but i was ip banned for posting comments critical of israel and supportive of Palestinian resistance about a year ago. Hopefully lemmy gets to s point where reddit becomes irrelevant but it is still in its infancy at the moment.

You may believe this is the case but it really is not. Look at the uss liberty incident. The us allowed Israel to attack a us naval vessel with impunity. Our entire political system in the us is owned and controlled by transnational multi billion dollar military and prison industry profiteers. they don’t have any allegiance to the population of the usa besides their own class who all seem to vehemently support the same cause of the zionist ethno state of israel and the perpetuation of an obvious genocide against the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine. This all goes back to the rothschild family, the balfour declaration Theodore Herzl and the several Zionist terrorist paramilitary Groups that waged terror across the levant from the earliest moments of the 20th century until 1948 when the British occupation of palestine ended and the british empire gave control of Palestine to zionist leaders who then condemned the terrorists groups who carried out violent bombings, attacks assassinations and instigated riots that were responsible for the deaths of several thousand Palestinian jews, Christians Muslims as well as American expats, British citizens and British troops stationed in Palestine. But despite condemning these criminals the ranks of their terrorist groups (hagannah, irgun, palmach and lehi) were welcomed into the newly formed govenrment as well as the IDF and mossad and many of the current zionist politicians in the likud party and other Zionist political factions have direct familial ties to members of these terrorist groups. These wealthy individuals who had the power connections and means to form these paramilitary organizations still have family members directly involved in central banking institutions such as the IMF world bank wall street and other connected institutions. These are people who consider themselves far beyond reproach and above governments. The rothschild family has spent a lot on PR to cleverly deflect any criticism of their wealth and how they use it as anti semitism but the Zionist movement would not be what it is today without the blood money of this central banking family of genocidal war mongers
And right now we are seeing s large surge of users transitioning away from reddit to lemmy as a result of this censorship
Because zionist central bankers own our politicians through Aipac snd CUFI donations. The houthi are waging against the zionist state of israel to free the Palestinian people under oppressive occupation and genocide funded by our tax dollars
Their power trains. Engines are very important and when you cut costs in manufacturing it lowers the quality and the standards of quality on crucial parts of the engine. Hyundai had a class action lawsuit that involved about a dozen different vehicle models over a 15 year period where due to a casting flaw in the engine block it was common for the engines to consume/burn oil even with exceptional maintenance and proper oil change intervals of 3000 miles and this resulted in the crank case being starved of oil and when the crankshaft doesnt have enough oil to build pressure and send it through the valleys built into the block and cylinder head and drip back down through the calves and adequately lubricate all those running parts then the rod bearings which are thin slivers of metal between the crank shaft and the connecting rods which connect to the piston they end up getting small pieces of metal between them which scratches these bearings and loosens them and creates a very loud knocking sound that will now be permanent even if you were to too new oil into the engine immediately once it starts knocking from the bottom end the engine is cooked. Go to any junk yard and you will hyundais that were effected by this issue (that hyundai literally attempted to sweep under the rug hoping it would go away without doing anything to resolve the issue because it would have been to expensive to redesign these engines techs were being instructed by hyundai to tell owners of their vehicles that burning 2 or 3 quarts of oil every 1000 miles was “within specifications” it was pretty damn absurd) in greater numbers than any other engine subvarients of other manufacturers. It gave hyundai/kia/genesis a really bad name in the automotive industry for years and that mistrust and dislike of Hyundai as a brand still persists today.
Granted electric cars are an entirely different animal i would still much rather spend my money on a brand that has shown a commitment to producing a quality product that lasts. One thing toyota does right is they assume people will neglect to maintain their vehicles so they over engineer their vehicles so that they will last longer under extreme operating conditions than they should. This is why it is so common to see toyotas from the 90’s and early 00’s still on the road today. Even if a toyota has some oil consumption issues As long as you keep toping the oil off it won’t be an issue. And when i say oil consumption issues i mean on a 30+ year old engine with 200-300 or more miles on it maybe burning one quart every 2000/3000 miles but no more than one quart per 1000 miles. Anything beyond 1 quart per 1000 miles is ridiculous and usually a symptom of a bad oil leak or sludged piston rings and means you need an engine rebuild or you can try an engine flush. (bG fluids engine restorstion flush kit is $350 for the kit but it works and is quite amazing from what i have seem) there are cheaper enfine flush products. One thing you can do is just mix 20% marvel mystery oil into each oil change untill you notice a reduction in oil consumption but with tbe hyundai thing this wouldn’t fix the underlying issue which was caused by a poorly manufactured engine block.
Id rather have a 15-20 year old toyota with 100k miles on the odometer than a brand new Hyundai.
Bro i was born and raised to be an evangelical nut job so you don’t have to project your qualms with white Christian nationalism on me.
Those with capital who are in control of our political system are first and foremost fascists. They don’t care about christianity so much as it serves them as a tool to manipulate those dumb enough to buy into it. The whole perpetuating industrialized genocide to make a profit selling military ordinance and keep humanity under the boot of endless militarism is more dangerous than religion. Intertwining the two is a recipe for disaster but the main danger here are the war mongering billionaires not whatever imaginary friend they use to peddle bigoted hate and idiocy onto the masses
Hyundai makes awful products. Look at the major lawsuits they had due to engine manufacturing defects that caused oil deprivation and rod knock(when the crank case/ engine block is too low on oil the bearing sleeves in between the crank shaft and connecting rods that attach to the pistons end up wearing excessively from running dry making the connection loose so the engine will make a loud knocking noise that means it is FUBAR and needs a new engine or a rebuild) across like a dozen different model / engine subvarients over a 12 year period. They are cheaply made. South Korea is a western proxy state their corporate culture is to maximize profits on the backs of consumers and cur costs wherever possible.
Buy a toyota or honda if you want a reliable quality vehicle. Maybe a volvo or a vw product but only if you know how to maintain cars yourself otherwise youll be paying a lot for maintenance on german cars, but toyotas are made to keep running even if you neglext maintenance and are super reliable if routine maintenance is kept up.
Repeat after me …. The democratic party is funded by the same wall street military and prison industry profiteers that fund the republican party and they are fundamentally opposed to shifting policy to the left and adopting economic democracy to any extent in their platform to the point they would rather ensure a right wing candidate wins by sabotagingrg any popular pro workers rights candidate rather than nominate anyone left of their platform which makes american western neo liberal democracy a defacto class dictatorship!
And lets hope they do not forget that warm clothes are completely unnecessary, the freezing temperatures are a radical leftist liberal hoax!!! The truth is Antarctica is a desert and deserts are warm!!! So dress in cool summer clothing, a pair of shorts, t shirt, flip flops and underwear is all those two will need! America needs them there to truly become great again. And if that isn’t convincing enough, remember that Austrian painter you both are so very fond of had quite an avid curiosity concerning Antarctica!!
Capitalism and fascism
Price of gold just hit $3140 why does that matter? Because gold is the true measure lf inflation. The inflation statistics used by walstreet and the FED come from the world bank and IMF. These numbers are based on consumer price index which is an inadequate measure of inflation because it does not account for the devaluation of a currency due to the increase in circulating currency supply and leveraged debt. Also Cpi Has been manipulated several times in the last few decades to keep inflation numbers skewed.
The reality here is that capitalist empires in decline always lie about the true measure of inflation to prevent civil unrest and the fomenting of a revolution by the working class.
But anyway: for the first 173 years of the us dollar as a standardized currency the price of gold only fluctuated 95% from $18 to $35 but in the 54 years since nixon withdrew from the bretton woods agreement ending the gold standard(the convertibility of the us dollar into gold at any bank) the price of gold has increased 8900% from $35 to $3140 this is directly proportional to the increase in the national debt in the same amount of time. From $400 billion to $36 trillion or 9000%
Even when fdr first passed the fair labor standards act setting minimum wage at 25¢/ hr that was more than the highest minimum wage currently for corporate fast food workers in California of $20/hr. As 25 cents an hour in 1938 produced 14.9 ounces of gold which would be $22/hr today or $45,160 (From 1938 to 1968 federal minimum wage was increased 7 times. On average from 1938 till today federal minimum has been increased 22 times on average once every 4 years with most adjustments happening within a year of the previous one. But today the federal minimum wage has not been adjusted in 17 years. The longest period it has gone unadjusted in 87 years.)
For about 4 decades a minimum wage worker could support a family of four with enough left over to save for their retirement (if they were not part of the approximately 50% of people with a pension) their children’s higher education and a modest family vacation once a year. During this point in history the median house price was $7200 but a home could be bought in most states for $4k-5k or even less for a fixer upper (my geandfather bought a house they were going to burn down in 1955 for $2700 about an hour outside Boston in the metropolitan providence area of new England and today it is worth $600,000) in 1950 minimum wage was raised to 75¢/hr which is 45 ounces of gold a year or $141,000 / $68/hr today. in 1956 it was again raised to $1/hr or 60 ounces of gold a year or $188,000/ $90/hr and in 1968 it was raised a final time before the end of the gold standard to $1.60 an hour this was 95 ounces of gold a year and today would be $300,000 or $147/hr it would take both adults working 2 jobs at 80 hours a week with overtime at a base pay of $30/hr to reach the same quality of life/ buying power
The reality is wall street took over our government, enacting the business plot they had attempted during the FDR administration(if you dont know about this coup led by prescott bush and the other robber barron wall street legacy families look it up) and they used their wealth and influence to eradicate the progress made by labor and civil rights advocates in the 30’s 40’s 50’s and 60’s primarily by intentionally devaluing the us dollar to lower the cost of wages for all the jobs they couldn’t outsource to the third world in the next step of their plan to siphon more wealth from the working class and poor. They had Reagan re legalize stock buybacks again and implement trans national trade agreements that sent a majority of the good manufacturing jobs and the jobs supporting them to the third world to cut lanor costs by 90-95%+
Now rent for a 2 bedroom in most metropolitan cities close to shipping ports is $3000/month (rent for 2 bedroom apartments has always been about an ounce of gold on averagein areas such as hartford ct, plymouth ma, providence ri, burlington VT, many parts of NY outside the city and new jersey. By the end of this administration gold spot price for an ounce will be $4500 last time he was in office saw rhe largest price increase under any administration from $1200 to $2050 or 71% so brace yourselves.
The reason financial institutions don’t tell us this as I mentioned above is to prevent civil unrest and revolution. If more people understood this as i do they would immediately stop participating as a wage slave in a system that doesn’t afford a quality of life worth working or living for. Minimum wage has decreased in value by 86-95% meanwhile executive pay has ballooned from 30-60 Times the median worker wage back 54-84 years ago to 1000-5000(3333%-8333%) times that same metric today with the highest paid executive earning an hourly wage of $72,000 or about $800/hr back before 1971.
The reality is that it cost more to purchase and maintain an enslaved person for their average 30 year lifespan during chattel slavery than minimum wage workers anywhere in the United States are currently compensated
