I remember watching a video like this but it was on Reddit and it was top post. It was also happening in Moscow, not the USA.

"The country of freedom" accuses the other country of their censorship in media, but then it starts doing the same things.

Freedom my ass I say

Thankfully it seems like no one said this yet, so just inb4:

She was not stupid, nor useless or played into their hand. Be inspired and take example. Being arrested for a little bit is not that big of a price to pay for resisting tyranny.

More importantly, without blindly believing it will automatically come true, at least put the scenario where you win into your heads. Going to prison for what's right can actually be liberating, if you think about it. And people can be taken out of prison too, together with all those that were imprisoned for getting or giving an abortion, those that immigrated "illegally" but spent decades contributing to the US's society and economy, those that only had a bunch of weed on them, etc. Maybe even the whole "for-profit prison" concept may finally come to an end. Imagine that!

Hi, mod here.

In the future, please avoid sharing links from news aggregators. Sharing from the original source helps community health by providing transparency, and allows others to avoid reposting the same article.

Reporting Team Watches Women Kidnapped In Broad Daylight, Openly Wonders why Nobody Trusts Journalists

[–] ksigley@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This is a really stupid take. The reporters had nothing to do with the arrest.

[–] Potatar@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They stopped her there (obstruction of the road, the given reason). They were the reason her voice was heard in that second and not later, and lead to the arrest (the real reason).

If this had happened in Venezuela in last couple of days the media would be loosing it's shit. The image of that arrest would be immortalized and treated like the Saigon pistol execution.

Immediately following the attack, bombing and kidnapping of Maduro, journalists were rounded up around the country.

Our media isn't making a stink about it because they are complicit in the manufacturing of a narrative here and you can't have people in Venezuela contradicting that narrative.

Fuck you Yahoo

Fuck every US tech company while you're at it

Once this is over, and one day it will, we can't forget this, we can't forget what IS tech companies did under trump

Which, I'm sure, means that people will forget in about 5 minutes and then they return to the cool US napy tech

Or possibly losing your job, healthcare insurance, going bankrupt, etc.

Presuming it was autocorrect, but it should be RAP, record of arrests & prosecutions.

How Russia-esque

[–] DeICEAmerica@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago

Getting REAL close to my home fascist pig fucks. I am very please that my State is both concealed and open carry. This shit WILL NOT STOP until they start getting pushed back, HARD. I have been hearing chatter in the streets in regards to 'while you are in the streets kidnapping us, who is watching your house'?

The only way we're gonna fight back is when the government takes away something like Netflix or McDonald's.

WW3 will have USA, Russia, China fighting on the same side.

And they are fighting who exactly? World wars became world wars because the world's superpowers were fighting each other.

I really don't think this is correct. The US and China are at odds geopolitically, they have conflicting interests. Why would they join forces?
