Lemmy.ml tankie censorship problem

I feel like we need to talk about Lemmy's massive tankie censorship problem. A lot of popular lemmy communities are hosted on lemmy.ml. It's been well known for a while that the admins/mods of that instance have, let's say, rather extremist and onesided political views. In short, they're what's colloquially referred to as...

I mean... the Soviet Union was illegally dissolved and as far as I remember, the people didn't want the dissolution to happen. A lot of tomfooleries happened after that and many former soviet countries did lose protections for their least economically safe population.

This is not a defense of the Soviet Union, but dealing with the first statement you wrote.

It's not revisionist what do you mean? It's a very normal fact that is literally even easy to wiki.

Wintex ,

So when faced with facts you just turn away.
I mean, I'll even concede that some of the member states didn't hold elections and therefore, we have no statistics on them. Not every facet of your enemy can be unreasonably demonized. Not every element of Soviet life was as bad as you think, and it's totally fair to say that the lower socioeconomic class was harmed by the dissolution.

In the aftermath of the dissolution oligarchs did dismantle a lot of the social security nets that existed and concentrated a lot of wealth.

I can just as easily shit on how Norwegian social security has been harmed by for-profit initiatives on the back of 8 years of Høyre and Frp rule.

Teacher who resigned after her OnlyFans page was discovered says new employer fired her for violating social media policy ( www.kbtx.com )

Had to supplement her $42,000 per year teacher salary with OF and made nearly $1 million in six months (almost 50 times as her salary) before the school caught wind of it and forced her to resign. Got a new job out of education and was fired five days later when they discovered news articles about her....

Trump is disqualified from Illinois ballot, judge rules ( www.reuters.com )

An Illinois state judge on Wednesday barred Donald Trump from appearing on the Illinois' Republican presidential primary ballot because of his role in the attack at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but she delayed her ruling from taking effect in light of an expected appeal by the former U.S president.

If they are voting in the primary, I doubt they will skip the general election. It's more than likely a reminder to the administration that their voter base is not happy with the current decision making. If they are protesting stuff like this, they are most likely D voters anyway (over 90 % of D voters are pro-ceasefire vs 53? % for the R voterbase.

Yeah, like the sad case with the teachers a few years back. Confirmed my personal view that Rødt and maybe SV are the only parties I'd like to vote. AP really betrayed LO and the teacher's unions in general.
