They aren’t disputing the information presented. Simply the context of associating it with an image of stalin. Sort of sane washing him. It’s definitely bad that the United States does this. But it’s also definitely bad that it keeps getting reposted in this sort of context as a propaganda tool.
Two things can be bad. Why couldn’t meme just ask what country does this? Then end with “the United states”. I’d argue it would be just as impactful. Without having to downplay the horrors of another group.
Eldritch@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•4 killed, 14 hurt in Chicago mass shooting: 'Absolute chaos'English226·7 days agoReading comprehension. Do you have it. It was an allusion to groups in power that use terror. Just because no one is claiming responsibility. Doesn’t mean it’s not terror.
Through it seems in this case it was likely a grudge.
Eldritch@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•4 killed, 14 hurt in Chicago mass shooting: 'Absolute chaos'English1220·7 days agoIsraelis blowing up another hospital? Must be a day ending in the letter Y. They don’t leave a Manifesto every time they commit an act of Terror. For some groups their agenda is so out in the open they don’t feel the need.
Eldritch@lemmy.worldto Linux@programming.dev•openSUSE Tumbleweed Monthly Update - June 2025English5·7 days agoRecently switched a system from arch to tumbleweed. After another required manual update intervention. So far I quite like it. And if as claimed is stable enough to not have me having to troubleshoot updates. I will likely be switching several more. It’s not quite as on the bleeding edge as arch. But it still has plasma 6.4 and blender 4.4 etc which are the big things for me.
Lol no worries I honestly forgot the spin-off even existed. I was always much more of an IT Crowd person myself. Saw a decent meme someone posted a while back relating to the three main characters of the show with regards to autistic social masking.
100%. It’s sort of like an owner’s manual for your life lol. It really can help you understand your impulses and frustrations. And even overcome them sometimes. It’s not possible all the time. But just knowing can make all the difference.
Sort of, yes. Basically don’t be a Sheldon. If you are capable of taking care of yourself or self-diagnosing. You are also capable of understanding and mitigating your behavior and triggers. As well as knowing when to apologize to neuro normies.
Going back to the reference to the show. Nearly all of the main characters on there could be seen as being on the Spectrum somewhere. Sheldon’s utter lack of self-awareness and treatment of others was a setup for jokes etc. It was infantalizing. That sort of thing in real life would stress even the best of friends. Neurodivergent or otherwise.
Diagnosis is about understanding. Understanding is the treatment. And understanding goes both ways. It’s a bridge between us and neuro normies.
If you identify with any of the things on the list. It’s definitely not at all wrong to do some mild self diagnosis. The thing to remember, is that diagnosis official or otherwise does not excuse behavior. But it can help you to understand it and overcome it. And there’s no downside in that.

They’re blown up any credibility that they may have had left. Turn themselves into a punchline for profits as capitalists are wont.

It’s not an island, the people being sent there will not be criminals, and the people sending them there are fascists.
Eldritch@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•If communism is on the far left and socialism is left, what is center, center-left, and center-right?English4·9 days agoPolitics isn’t a 1 dimensional spectrum. Even 2 dimensions can still be inadequate. Though it is a much better fit. Suficed to say the X axis is generally going to be economic orientation. And the Y axis social orientation. Economic being socialist to capitalist. Social being authoritarian to libertarian. But even then, going to far along social spectrum one direction makes the distinction of capitalism or socialism moot. Authoritarians will use whatever gives them power. They aren’t specifically FOR either. The further you go towards libertarianism however, the less and less feasible something like capitalism gets.

Eldritch@lemmy.worldto MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•.ml world "news" continuing to be an excellent source of journalism and definitely NOT contributing to the spread of Putin talking points!/sEnglish20·9 days agoTo the people that accept russian propaganda, truth is irrelevant. If you waste time giving them proof of the basic truths the willfully reject. You have only wasted your own time and done exactly what they wanted. In this way they can keep thousands of foolish well-meaning people from simply dismissing their accusations as deserved.

What business is it of anyone’s to prove Ukraine isn’t Nazi. When no one had proven it is.

Israel is a relevant group employing terror. They generally don’t claim responsibility. Not advertising responsibility doesn’t stop something from being terrorist. Nowhere was it stated they were responsible.
