I migrated instances yesterday for this exact reason, lemmy.ml is a bit better than some others like world but it still gets pretty bad

Praxis = Practice They sound alike and almost mean the same thing so that’s how I remember it

specifically, putting socialist theory into practice by doing real-world stuff to advance it

The amount of crabs on this post briefly turned my phone into a slideshow

Accounting for weight, does it otherwise last as long as lithium-ion batteries?

I think the New Zealand thing has to do with nuclear war more than climate change, since they’re far from the theoretically worst affected areas from fallout

I listened to the Deprogram episode with Lady Izdihar last night (she’s a muslim who specializes in USSR history) and she talked a little about her history as a worker for a Democratic candidate. Apparently the team she was with wanted to celebrate winning a lawsuit against an anti-Muslim Trump policy by… going to a bar.

Is there anywhere I can read more about the Wikipedia thing? Preferably more recently since the other article I can remember from Reuters is from 2007 lmao

Here’s the link to the 2007 for future reference. Most of the results that show up on Google are from Wikipedia itself (like this one) which comes with its own problems.

The biggest point to note, however, is that Wikipedia relies on third-party sources to back up their claims, and being a primarily english-speaking, west-hosted service, a lot of these sources will be sometimes biased and sometimes from authors who straight up make shit up. I found this Reddit post on r/communism from ~2yrs ago of a user who scrutinized the sources on its page for Another View of Stalin by Ludo Martens and found many anti-communist authors present.

“My mother grew up in the Soviet Union … So I’m very conscious of what, what it can mean to make knowledge free, to make information free”

I want that to mean free information helps propel humanity forward but I feel like, with this being hosted on CBS, its meant to imply it can help bring these countries down and under capitalist control
