World News@lemmy.ml•The West discovers Zelensky is not really a good guy
1·2 months agoIndeed, a fact-checking site is the most reliable thing in the world. A fact-checking site would never lie to you or have a bias of their own…would they?

0·2 months agoRussian state propaganda is of course so much less reliable than Statesian corporate propaganda
They have to win elections and they have to fight from within.
Wait everyone! Don’t you see? If we join the Nazis we can change them from within!

News@lemmy.world•Controversial ‘ICE List’ features photos and names of 100 immigration agents
5·3 months agoBoth really. Aaron Swartz was not so conservative but Steve Huffman struck me as a libertarian bro long ago, and so absent Swartz the site began down a horrendous path that ramped up with the banning of leftist spaces like /r/chapotraphouse.
Also relevant on Steve Huffman:
The [Anti-Defamation League] said on Monday it’s opened the Center for Technology and Society, complete with an advisory board stacked with notable names like Reddit CEO Steve Huffman, Facebook Vice President of Product Guy Rosen, and Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe.

4·3 months agowith the intent to obstruct a criminal investigation or immigration operation.
Intent is often one of the hardest things to prove in court cases anyway, often requiring additional sources of information to assess state of mind (mens rhea). At least, in a society where law matters. That said, if we assume US law matters at all (which you should never assume considering its historical actions), the stated goal of the site is for future prosecutions, as you’ve said and I agree.

2·3 months agoIndeed it is, but fear not, for it’s only because they’re very bad powerful people defending a very bad evil society. Oh, perhaps some fear is warranted then…

11·3 months agoOh my, is that Senator Elissa Slotkin, “former” CIA Agent, from this famously disastrous interview? Well I’m sure a “former” CIA Agent would know a thing or two about compiling dossiers on American Citizens.

News@lemmy.world•Controversial ‘ICE List’ features photos and names of 100 immigration agents
19·3 months agoSo there actually is a federal (felony) law against that, but not against sharing their names: 18 U.S. Code § 119. This is the most a website could legally get away with, at least for US Citizens. It may not apply to Ice List’s designer (Edit: Who is Irish and living in the Netherlands, which I believe is part of 14 Eyes), but I am not a lawyer.

No one will be in this fake economy Statesians are living in now
Honestly thought that was what it was supposed to be before it got corrected.
Wait a sec though young Stalin was hot too.





I know the US doesn’t allow internal studying of gun violence statistics because reasons but I feel like we can start making some disturbing extrapolations based on the extremely disturbingly high number of people who’ve survived MULTIPLE school shootings at this point.
