thanks for the help haha. i thought it was pretty clear i meant if russia was going to force doctors without borders into having some borders we could think of them as being the thing i said. i’m still taking that hiatus thuough. i hated this lol

lmao what? no i definitely am not trying to upset folks. i don’t even actually know how “doctors without borders have an incredibly important mission to humanity, and a shared goal of reducing suffering” is upsetting. in fact, despite the fact that i should know better, this thread has gotten me really upset because resisting collonialism is so important and what doctors without borders is so important, and now i’m finding out that the perception is that i just want to upset people?

i really mean this: i feel really disoriented, misunderstood, and hurt. i think i’m gonna go on a hiatus for a while because if this is what lemmy is gonna do to my mental space i don’t want it in my life

I got 4 upvotes and 23 downvotes. I’m pretty sure it’s pretty clear y’all have the prevailing worldview. Furthermore, I just… Don’t know what it is? I just know you think I’m vapid, and I don’t really know where I’m supposed to start digging into making myself better because I’ve received literally zero constructive feedback. Just a bunch of “Look at what a vapid idiot! Haha!”

how is providing medical aid to people being tortured in our global system of suffering not

1. anti-colonial
2. the very most important thing anyone could be doing?

like i have criticisms about how they tend to attract white knight savior types, but russia making their operations harder is pretty clearly evil. i’m open to changing my stance that what they do is important, but i can’t do that if all i get is downvotes and called vapid

doctors without assisting colonialism

once something is determined woke by the grift, it can only be the focus as long as it is the right level of popular for anyone to listen to the scam. something to beloved or obscure won’t achieve the desired outrage

Ding ding ding. Its possible to pass off dark patterns as jokes and jokes to become dark patterns when the joke isn’t funny anymore

why do honest communicstion when yould instead make people feel guilty and coerce them into coming back

The location of the target sends Russia and hopefully some of the Russian populace two messages:

1. Ukraine has the technical capability to hit Moscow
2. Ukraine chooses their targets based on tactical strategic value, not based on instilling terror

BRICS is more about resisting european hegemony to establish a new hegemony than anything. As a unit, sometimes they’ll say something real as hell, but generally speaking 90% of what they do is the same evil backstabbing shit we always talk about the US doing to influence global economics and sustain power. When BRICS is taken into consideration with the G-7 what we actually see is a two party system of global torture that more than anything wants to maintain the basic status quo, they just want to shift slightly who’s on top

India the I

South Africa the S

Fair enough. I wasn’t including the unionization efforts because I thought that was after Andre’s time, but it was a couple years before his retirement

Hulk Hogan was close personal friends with someone that raped Andre the Giant’s best friend. Also keyfabe got Andre needing to say the thing because that’s how the business works. But also its easier to make your keyfabe hatred of someone believable when you actually factually hate that person. Which in this case Andre the Giant did

Look at this sexy woman. Look at this cool refreshing air conditioner she’s next to. Isn’t she sexy? Isn’t it nice stepping in from the heat to stand next to an air conditioner? So anyway. Associate coca cola with all the feelings you’re feeling

For sure. That one I can at least… Understand or appreciate that it is related to how hard it is to host potentially illegal content in the jurisdiction the instance is hosted in. But the way the MB/FC situation has been handled is… Embarrassing. Like there’s no way to defend it other than “you yourselves are biased and you want to dictate the kind of bias that is acceptable”

It speaks to a lack of media literacy by the moderation administration of the instance

Swiso is also good. I don’t remember the URL right now

My god this bot is problematic… Really makes me lose all respect for the .world ecosystem of mods and admins that they’ve heard the feedback and refused to do anything without even considering the possibility of just not having this bot at all. All feedback is replied to with basically “you must implement a bot for us in order for us to take you seriously”

Slant.co used to be similarly useful before its company shut it down to focus on Vetted.ai… Less useful though since almost every outgoing link was an affiliate or ad link. Alternativeto.net has been kinda the best option since the late 00s

That’s why Zelensky must, under no circumstances, go into any kind of specifics with Trump. Just make it about how great and cool it will make Trump look

“You give me big go booms. I go boom the bad guys you hate. Major winning happens. You take all credit. ‘Very smart and brave of Trump to give Ukraine all those go booms.’ Everyone says so”
