Mmmm bird flu
I don’t disagree it should have been phrased more accurately. The truest version is always the best, OP should probably add an edit to add that he wasn’t sentenced he was charged with crimes that would result in that, however, The point of this post was not the legal distinction between charged and convicted
I think the detail you’re arguing about is about as impactful as what color shirt someone was wearing in an otherwise true account of history.
I’m not endorsing misinforming people, thank you for correcting that bit of information, its does not change the essence of why this information is being shared or the conclusion it brings us to.
Law is not science, it’s politics. This is a political distinction, not a matter of the laws of reality
Their comment wasn’t a dissertation, i didn’t expect extreme precision, I’m defending the spirit in which I believe that comment was posted, because I agree with it, simple as
Looks likely he would have been convicted, especially considering the whole suicide thing??
Basically the same thing, calling it misinformation implies its creating a perception of the incident that is unwarranted, where I would disagree that the distinction has any merit
After googling it it seems he was charged and those were the estimate of years if convicted so
What about this is misinformation?
Exclusively based on vibes and lies/media presentation. It’s just manufactured concensus, we teach 9 year Olds that it’s freedom VS authoritarian capitalism VS communism
It’s just bullshit, capitalist countries are authoritarian as fuck
Matter likes the shape that gives the property of metals to elements more than it likes other shapes, probably something like that
This comment was calling out the person I replied to for being ableist, thanks for removing it because I was slightly rude about standing up for myself

Tedx is a service you pay to come and pretend you have words worth saying, like how you pay Guinness world records to come and hand you a fancy plaque
What the fuck
the middle men
Describing normal working artists this way is weird as fuck, you have such a warped conception of reality
THAT isn’t bad. But you are incredibly naive if you think that’s where this will stay in this hell world of ours, if you think it will simply be a nice tool to allow greater access to creative expression
Wait you think this is a good thing?
You think it’s a good thing that people will be even more unable to express themselves in our capitalist hell scape?
You REALLY don’t see how this will bring on yet more horrors?
The @lemmy.liberals in the comments here being flabbergasted that straight white men in positions of power are privileged and embarrassing is very funny
Keep it up dorks
Edit:
To the salty folks out there mad about people not stooping down and being your personal elementary school teacher to teach you basic lessons about the world we live in, and our friends from lemmy.world who are assuredly reading through posts like this one from defederated instances (hi!)
A word about what it is to be civil in conversation and Why Those Tankies Are So Mean (not a tankie but w/e):
I will definitely admit that I was very annoyed and could have been nicer about a lot what I went about saying throughout my posts in this thread. Here’s the thing, ‘being nicer about it’ is a personal decision not a moral necessity, and not even necessarily beneficial at all. The “it” we’re being “nicer” about is often something horrifying, like when people got upset at Aaron Bushnell for his self immolation, people who were more upset about THAT than they are about what’s happening to innocent bystanders in Palestine. These are not positions that should be met with civility. No one is required to put up with someone’s bullshit just for the purpose of helping them learn and grow. Its good to do in the few times when that is possible…
but here?
on the internet? On a not-reddit forum website in a science memes community? Its 1/10000 chance where that’s possible.
We all know why you would feel attacked by seeing the mention of his white maleness and the implication that had anything to do with it. No unbiased person would see that and think “this is prejudice based on skin color!” or pretend they can see no connection between the guy in the tweet’s old male whiteness and THE TWEET, A perfect encapsulation of the absurdity our nightmare culture which enshrines and systematically enforces the power of ignorant old white men. Its not a statement that all white people are bad, its not a statement that all old people are bad, its not a statement that all men are bad.
It’s a recognition of the systemic rot inflicted on the scientific community by our current culture shaped by patriarchy, capitalism, and imperialism.
Add to that how sick I and many of us are of the constant bullshit, the harmful attitudes beliefs and inevitable whining and whinging when the least criticism lands near the fancy of the loser we run across on some post. We’re leftists, but also most of us are either trans or queer or poc or neurodivergent etc etc or any combination thereof. We have been around for years just on lemmy, and years before. And over those years, have grown to recognize civility bullshit for what it always was. And recognize what it means when we see stuff like this post, where people are upset about criticism of privileged behavior that demonstrates an injustice inherent to our current system. So we see that bullshit, and we come down on it. To see that an not react harshly against it is no different than contributing to it yourself, to let it fester and grow, to let something horrible and unjust become simply ‘normal’.
To hear incorrect views without rebutting them and instead to take them calmly as if nothing had happened is unacceptable.
That’s why many people in this thread reacted negatively to the comments we did. Clear enough?
This is why I usually just say shut up, loser. It’s way fucking easier, and taking the effort like this is never worth it, not on here, not with the .world et all crowd.
So shut up, losers.
Im imagining any russian person who sees this comment just smiling smugly
untrue, politics affects the shape of everything, if we don’t ‘make it political’ we let whatever political lean already is there continue. thats not apolitical, thats apathy
that said thanks for the post, good to know!
People thought the same thing about written language, that it would ruin everyone’s memory cause they could just write things down and wouldn’t have to go through the honorable effort of rembering everything
Although, to be fair, they didn’t have capitalism then so our similar worries might be more well founded lol
