  • “X bans 8000 users who oppose the government”

    Lemmy users: “Fuck elmo, fascist Nazi”

    “Indian government forces X to ban 8000 users who oppose the government at threat of banning X in India”

    Lemmy users: “Fuck elmo, fascist Nazi”

    “X challenges Indian government in court over order to ban 8000 users who oppose the government”

    Lemmy users: “Fuck elmo, fascist Nazi”

    It would be funny if it wasn’t so obvious how politically captured Lemmy is already.



  • Who decides the owners main purpose for the land you peanut?

    If you ask Putin if Russia is a democracy and if he was democratically elected, he will say yes. Would you believe him?

    Considering you lefties all refuse to believe a single thing the current US government says, and imagine dozens of ways that what they’re saying is actually wrong and will be used to set up death camps, it’s astounding just how readily you believe literally everything the South African government says.

    Oh apart from the “kill all the white men!” song they love singing - you don’t believe them when they say that.

    Lol



  • The country, whose leaders all gleefully sing and chant “kill all the white man!”, courts say that it’s not happening? Oh, well then they must be right. Just like how Kim Jong Un shot a 50 under par on a par 60. Just like how Russia is a democracy. They say it so it’s true.

    Doesn’t matter that the government approved laws where they can literally just steal white peoples land/property with no compensation and no recourse. Nah, irrelevant because the government said that they’re not actually going to do it - they just passed the laws so they can as a prank, and the white people that have had their properties and land stolen since are just taking the prank the wrong way. All the white farmers and their families being murdered and having their farms stolen are just being bad sports. It’s not happening, the government said it themselves!

    I have a friend who came here to my country 6 months or so ago from SA. He’s white. His best friends family were all murdered in a home invasion. Police didn’t care. His uncle was murdered on his farm and his farm was taken to government to black people. Police didn’t care, government just took the property.

    I’ll tell him it didn’t happen, I’m sure that will make his uncle and best friend and his family jump out of a door and yell surprise! He’ll be so relieved!










  • Higher education needs to move with the times. Just like the old reason of “you won’t always have a calculator with you” for not allowing a calculator in an exam is outdated, writing essays and reports as assessment is outdated.

    The entire system should be built around preparing people for the real world, giving them the knowledge and the skillset to succeed in their chosen field. Determining this by how many formulas, definitions, rules etc they can remember in a test environment does not do that. Asking them to write an essay or a report in their own time doesn’t do that, nor does saying they can’t use all the tools available to do so.
