They literally DID. The fact you don’t know about it shows why they also do their publicity stunts.
Yeah, media bias fact check, totally not based on some guys political opinions…
Hate-spewing riots?
Didn’t know just stop oil was doing that, last I checked they put cornstarch on Stonehenge which washed off a day later.
Ad hominem/personal insults, the perfect argument winner.
What, “coward”?
🙄
Get over yourself you jumped up twat. I don’t have to provide you with evidence for anything. I understand how the fediverse works.
Someone sounds upset.
If you make a claim in an attempt to discredit a whole platform of people, don’t be surprised when someone asks you to provide evidence.
There are plenty of fucked up little scrotes on here with weird as fuck fetishes and I dont care to see it in my feed
Fun fact: you can add certain communities to your feed and only view those. So either you’re not using your own feed, or you’ve added those communities to it.
I already block entire instances, communities and anyone who posts fucking weird porn cartoons or political american shit or any other shit I think is retarded. I dont give a shit whatever sordid shit turns you on. I dont need to know about it. Its not all on one instance, or one user and I’m forever filtering it out…
Sounds like a problem with the instance you picked then. I do not have this issue, and you clearly haven’t heard of an NSFW toggle. That or it doesn’t work.
Nobody cares if you don’t care about other things on the internet. It does not belong to you, you don’t get to go on an angry tirade when there are things you don’t like, and you definitely don’t get to use it to try and slander people who are completely unrelated to it. Learn to properly curate your feed and move on.
there’s the evidence
You’ve made a claim. A claim is not evidence.
Have you seen
No, I have not. Not from my instance, lemmy.world (which is the instance we’re talking on) or any others that end up in my feed or even the “All” feed.
Have you tried blocking the one single instance that’s probably coming from?
Or even just using your feed?
And I hate to break it to you, but one community on the fediverse is not indicative of “this crowd being heavy” with anyone. If that were the case, all social media, and real life, would be.
The mod team is absolutely aware of the criticisms - they’re censoring them.
I just got a comment deleted just for telling OP to engage with the criticism instead of hiding away with people who agree with them.
I wonder if they were former Reddit power mods?
Removed by mod
Oh so strength doesn’t decrease when testosterone lowers and estrogen increases, and vice-versa?
This crowd is heavy with animal fuckers
You got any evidence to back up that ridiculous claim? Because it seems that you’re just trying to slander people who disagree with you.
Laws don’t make a democracy authoritarian either
How do you think former democracies turn, like the Weimar Republic turned into Nazi Germany?
It started with legislation.
Also, this country already has deeply authoritarian aspects, such as GCHQs immunity to the public and their tapping of the internet backbone and storage of the data with no accountability. If that’s not authoritarian, I don’t know what is.
Also, remember that NotMyKing protestors in London (ORGANISED PROTEST) were arrested en-masse for NO reason, only to be released when the event was over. But yeah, we’re “not authoritarian”.
They have just as much freedom to protest as everyone else has
Little and declining every day? What, are you only okay with it if they’re standing with signs in a corner where they can be conveniently ignored?
If they think they can break the law without punishment, they are simply wrong and stupid.
Oh yeah, I forgot, only lobbying fossil fuel companies get that privilege. Destroy the environment and become immune from repercussions. Score!
The law is being changed to slowly ban effective protest, does that mean it’s okay to crush protest? No! To say it is just because the laws were passed in a democracy (by either stupid or malicious politicians) doesn’t make it just, or any less authoritarian.
Also consider that the FPTP election system is deeply undemocratic to begin with, where a party with about 30% of votes can gain a majority despite the majority actually voting against them.
Another one for the graveyard!
Then being locked up for a year for being chained to said lamp post?
“They annoy me, so they should be locked up!”
Clown. People like you are why this country is barreling into authoritarianism. Even under Labour.
Usually in a situation where people are being used as shields the reaction is not to indiscriminately murder all the people then say “we did it! the hostage-taker is dead!”.
Where’s lemmy.ml, telling us all that China is actually the peak of liberty?
I’m sorry but when the Quran makes it out that the sun and moon both orbit Earth when that is very clearly false I can’t take it seriously.
Copying from a comment I made on Reddit:
The Quran is considered the unchanging word of Allah passed down to Muhammed by Gabriel. But then what does it mean when the Quran is demonstrably wrong? Well, it means Islam falls apart as the “word of Allah” is disproven.
For example, I’m going to note a verse from the Quran which reveals the Quran’s model of the solar system:
“It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit.” (Quran 36:40)
I’ve picked this verse because typically when the Quran conflicts with well-known, proven, modern fact and science, the defense from Muslims is that it’s metaphorical in some way (how convenient). But here not even the metaphorical interpretation makes sense, so its a good verse to solidly disprove.
First, the literal interpretation:
The idea of “overtaking” and the sun and moon’s inability to do so requires the two objects (in this case, the sun and moon) to be moving along roughly the same path/direction (or in the case of celestial objects, the same orbit), else the sentence makes no sense. Following this, this means that according to the Quran, the sun and moon follow the same orbit, an orbit around Earth (i.e. an Earth-centred solar system). This isn’t true, and is easily proven nowadays.
The metaphorical interpretation:
If we take “overtaking” to mean appearing to cross over in the sky and not literal overtaking, well, that’s still wrong. Because exactly that happens during a solar eclipse. The moon appears to overtake the sun in the sky, crossing over it and eclipsing it in the process. So the metaphorical interpretation is also incorrect.
As we can see, no matter which way we decide to interpret this verse, literal or metaphorical, it’s wrong. The “word of Allah” is wrong, and Islam crumbles.
The part where it’s action targeting the oil companies? You know, like you were suggesting they do?
