The Serbians actually won gold not the Koreans

No I’m talking about the event Dikeç participated in specifically

I believe the Serbs did indeed have the cool gear, not as cool as the Koreans though from the photos I’ve seen

This one confuses me, what’s the basis for this being a slur? It’s based in ideology, not race (given that it was invented by cubans for use on other cubans) or sexuality.

That would make Tankie a slur too, wouldn’t it?

The thing I love about lemmy is instead of neoliberals and weird racists silencing Leftists like reddit, it’s Leftists and Social democrats constantly at each other’s throats.

The latter is much more amusing

I hate to break it to you, but most of Egypt’s volleyball team plays in shorts and a t-shirt (talking about regular volleyball here)

The “all islamic countries are iran/Saudi arabia” is INCREDIBLY racist and really needs to fucking stop. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE educate yourself

Which means Egypt is in the clear.

LOOK AT THE EGYPTIAN FENCER FOR FUCK’S SAKE WHY ARE PEOPLE SO FUCKING IGNORANT?

The delta has lots of rail, and since the distances aren’t that long and Egypt doesn’t really have money to spare I guess using the normal rail there is fine.

Yeah, on reddit, if you’re not the mainstream reddit opinion you have to hide in an echo chamber, if you are the mainstream, then most of the platform is one giant echo chamber.

It doesn’t help that they’re all exceptionally rude and confrontational

As an Egyptian, I’ve had to constantly talk back against multiple people with the usual “all middle eastern countries are iran” bullshit, I thought I’d escaped it when I left reddit, but nope, apparently in Egypt Hijab is forced by law, I just didn’t know Egyptian law and needed a European redditor lemming(?) to give us all a white-savioresque lecture on it.

Many people don’t know this (surprisingly), but reddit is racist as fuck, like one of the most racist platforms I’ve ever been on, it’s really well cloaked racism (usually, r/Europe and r/Worldnews are openly racist) , but it’s everywhere, and OH GOD the white Savior Complex so many redditors have is infuriating.

But hey, at least on lemmy I can correct it, on reddit I’d be swarmed by westerners who think they know more about my country than I, a person living there, do, and will proceed to tell me I’m very wrong.

They push this so far, I’ve had them lecture me, someone FROM GIZA, on the “correct” position of the pyramids.

I’m not familiar with how voting works in America but like…

Can you vote? I mean it thinks you’re not a person, can non-people vote?
