Yes, muscovites just made friends, that’s not imperialism. Sakha just wanted to give it’s oil and minerals to Moscow. Yakutia just wanted desperately to learn Russian. It’s not imperialism if there are no boats involved!
Estonia? Now their GDP per capita is not 20% higher, it’s 200% higher than Russia. Yes, triple as high. Obviously Russia was robbing them blind, and holding them back. Same as most other republics and Warsaw pact nations. GDP explosions after ditching the red parasite.
Ukraine had borders just fine when Soviets invaded them. If not for the war they lost against Poland in 1920 they would have kept invading and repressing nations. Belorussian language is almost extinct nowadays after all the russification. Same for Ukrainian in Eastern Ukraine.
French killed 1 million Algerians? Rookie numbers, they should have learned from the holodomor.
- Comment on Personalized Political Spectrum 3 weeks ago:
Yes, holodomor is western propaganda.

Anti imperialism? How did they become the largest country on earth?
Respect of minorities? Tell that to the tens of thousands of people executed in forests. Or starved to death. Because of their identity.
Industrial development? Yes, current Russia having an economy the size of Italy is a testament to that.
Plenty of countries have free education and Healthcare.

With the slight clarification that communists will redifine oppressors at their will, making them effectively the same in practice.

You doubt there will be people that’s will? Have you heard of scientologists? Have you heard of flat earthers? Antivaxxers? All of them basing their core ideals on stuff explicitly marked as bogus.

I mean, if you make a paper public you can say it was published. It’s no longer 1440, you don’t need a publisher with a printing press to publish something.
- Comment on how things become science 4 weeks ago:
It’s streets ahead.

My first thought as well. Artificial intelligence is not better or worse than human stupidity. At least I haven’t seen any LLM trying to convince me the earth is flat (yet).

- Comment on Me watching someone on Lemmy getting cooked for having the same opinion as me: 1 month ago:
I’m not saying the YouTube tos are sacred, I am just saying that YouTube premium is good value for money and the right solution for a platform that is sustainable and profitable for creators (and Google). If they don’t have a way of me saving a video that I want to archive myself, I will find another way of downloading it. If yt-dlp gets blocked I’ll use OBS. But it’s not practical for everyday use, and not on the potpourri of devices we use in the family.
I’ll repeat, even if YouTube was perfect (which is impossible, no platform is) it would make sense to diversify. Streaming, merch, donations, whatever. You never know what can happen tomorrow. Since YouTube is created an operated by humans, they fuck up, so much more reason. Hard not to fuck up from time to time given their scale and complexity. Could they do a better job? Certainly, but as a i said, they are 95% there.
And I don’t see a reason why a creator that I watch 20 minutes a month shouldn’t get their fair share of the payment, why would I limit myself to the top 5? Or one that I watch 10 minutes once in my life, but solves a problem or a question that I had a that moment.
All for the price of half a trip to the movies, maybe one third. It’s a no brainer to me.

Yes, Youtube makes mistakes, has bugs and the moderation is not perfect. But it gets you 95% there, which would take years and literal millions to do yourself. The only premium feature I care about is the ads. For downloading things long term I use yt-dlp.
Of course creators want to diversify, even if YouTube was perfect they don’t want to be dependent on one revenue stream.
About payments: Square charges 30c fixed fee per payment (+%). PayPal charges 49c. Stripe 30c. Ayden 37c. Klarna 30c. Please enlighten me how flat fees are not a thing.

Google provides tooling, hosting, bandwidth, processing, security, metrics, payment processing, support, filtering, legal protection, captioning, apps for every platform imaginable, etc. Hardly a parasitic intermediary. Plus donating to 50+ creators would be more money in payment fees alone than what I pay for YouTube.

- Comment on Me watching someone on Lemmy getting cooked for having the same opinion as me: 1 month ago:
Adblockers are a pain in the ass for many reasons. Small websites can’t realistically fund themselves with other sources, big players like newspapers end up putting paywalls limit access to quality journalism or selling themselves to billionaires who can run them at a loss in exchange of influence on the reporting. You end up with billionaires controlling all media and no way for small shops to compete with them.
YouTube premium: YouTube ads are fucking annoying, adblocking on TVs is unreliable at best, impossible at worst, I want to support the people who create the content I enjoy and the price for a whole family, for a whole month… is one third of the price of going to the movies once.
- Comment on Me watching someone on Lemmy getting cooked for having the same opinion as me: 1 month ago:
I have been labeled a troll many a time, for:
- arguing against adblockers
- arguing for YouTube premium
- saying the USSR killed a bunch of people (and many other historical facts)
- saying not voting for Kamala carries responsibility for what trump does
- saying that the average voter prefers moderate democrats
- condemning treatment of Uygurs
