A real autism! He/him bisexual man that might be a demiboy but probably not. I like media. Extraordinarily DILF.
I was pretty good at maps in highschool but I forgot a lot of it and never got good at Africa. I have no trouble with the 50 states but I’m american so that tracks. I’m also decent at South America (central america is beyond me though), most of Europe, and Asia.
Can’t find anything about funding right now, and I’m tired. But I do know they routinely publish articles inconsistent with the values of their namesake.
But I need to go to bed. Ive been doing this all day.
Non-profit does not mean its not run by capitalist interest
While the Sandler Foundation provided ProPublica with significant financial support, it also has received funding from the Knight Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Pew Charitable Trusts, Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation, and the Atlantic Philanthropies.

“The west” as a whole does not have a right to defend itself. “The west” is not a nation. Considering it one has white supremacist vibes, I’m sure from your other posts that you don’t intend them, but the implications are there.
You have been lied to about Yugoslavia. In fact, the bombing of Yugoslavia would have been one of the atrocities I brought up, considering the 500 civilian deaths and 6000 civilian wounded that resulted from it. At the very least, while there may have been a genocide going on there, NATO’s goals were not to stop it. It was an excuse to enforce further western hegemony over the region. I Unfortunately I am not prepared with sources on that issue so I hope someone else in this thread will come through with some for you. I always forget to bookmark sources even though I know I’ll need them later. You’ll just hopefully trust me that I have read stuff about this before. I just forgot to save it.
Lastly, its stated goals mean nothing to me when they supported the invasion of Afghanistan (as just one example). Was that a defensive war?
free press
A press thats 100% controlled by the capitalist class and expresses their interests cannot reasonably be described as free.
I really don’t understand how someone can come the conclusion that NATO is a good thing? :/ They’ve carried out some absolutely awful military operations that have taken many lives. They are not, in any way, a “defensive alliance” and have never acted like one. Like, the bare minimum that I ask is “Russia and NATO are both bad” (and thats not even wrong, its just said in bad faith sometimes). But outright saying NATO is good? :/
I wonder why a website that has been taken over by corporations (it was pretty much always corporate, but I agree its gotten worse) would aggressively silence communists, I also wonder if they would perhaps promote certain narratives about the enemies of the west. I also wonder why someone who is anti-corporate would support that.
Believe it or not, I really want our communities to get along because Hexbear is aggressively pro-trans.
Damn, I really had faith you were well intentioned. I’m disappointed.
Honestly I don’t even know why you’re here if you’re so happy with Reddit’s moderation policies.
Ah damn, I misplaced my faith.
I think you should be more judicious about who you’re dunking on tbh. This person seems well intentioned enough.
ETA: I take this back.

They said elsewhere that they’re autistic. The need to be exact and truthful when people generalize something like a community is something i identify with. Its why I dont really love the stormfront joke myself, just go along with it for community peace. This person to me is clearly well intentioned and is an example of the dunk impulse going too far because I think they’re trying to do right.
ETA: Actually I got them mixed up with another user they never said they were autistic. But I still think they are well intentioned.
Can I ask whats being made meaningless here? I hope you don’t mean “war criminal”. Because drone bombing a wedding is definitely a war crime.
Maybe you mean Contra’s joke though idk lol
/r/196’s thing is its a “rule” that you have to post something whenever you visit the sub. And most people post “rule” when they do so.
This comm is just reusing the tic.
I used to think it was funny just because it WAS absurd that Hannity (it was Hannity right?) made a big deal out of Obama ordering “fancy mustard” and therefor being unAmerican. I thought it was a good commentary on conservative media’s weird tics. But once I noticed that libs were using it (and tan suit jokes) just as much to absolve Obama of having “real controversies” and not just making fun of Fox News, it lost its edge for me.
ETA: Also its really corny of Contra to engage in such an overused joke, beyond how lib she’s being its also just really gauche.
This is really alien to me because I’m american and I’ve been able to point out Germany on a map since I was like, 10? Its a very distinctive shape and position on the map. Idk, maybe its just my brain.
