Iirc he added an announcement that he'd be moving to lemmy before the shutdown.
Maybe something like the sponsorblock addon could help
Would actually be kinda cool if the prevalence of chatgpt forced everyone to write in a more varied and interesting style to dodge the accusations :)
God, remember MSNBC the night Bernie Sanders won the Nevada primaries?
Man I miss old matt taibbi so much. What happened to him 😭
My issue with that theory is if it's true, why didn't Putin invade while Trump was in power? I think Putin rightly considers Trump a loose cannon who may well have escalated in response. While Biden is predictably afraid of escalation and has been eager to pump the brakes on military aid whenever possible, against congress's wishes.
I hate to be a Russian whataboutist but the American record of antiwar protest isn't stellar either. Imo the closer comparison is Vietnam, that was the last one where we were forced to draft people. And it did result in significant protests from multiple groups (incomparable to Iraq imo. What exactly did the Iraq protests 2 years in accomplish, again?)
The vietnam protests were actively suppressed by intelligence services and ultimately followed in the 80s by a wave of reactionary public sentiment that set the tone for republican politics even to this day (and we can all see how well that's going).
Back then we didn't live in a police state with modern surveillance tech. It's surprisingly difficult to organize a revolution when the medium of most social communication is readable by the gov without a warrant.
On the other hand I'm still amazed that those (yes I know they weren't ever a revolution) Jan 6 clowns got as far as they did, considering they the relative capabilities of US and Russian domestic surveillance. Like that sort of thing has to have been organized on Facebook and telegram right?
Being called a "great person" imo should take a history of fighting for equality and dignity for everyone, and for most of his long career Biden has been doing the opposite of that.
I think they mean the hardware volume down button, not the one to reject the call
