Makan@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmygrad.ml•Obama Russiagate scandal exposed: new declassified US intelligence documents reveal fabrication of Russia interference narrativeEnglish8·5 days agoI think the aims of putting Obama on trial are stupid and even counter-productive to actual justice and will just enhance Trump’s power.
That being said…
It could actually make the Democrats fight and certain sectors of the Republicans infight instead of just kowtowing to Trump all day.
On another note, Obama should be tried primarily for war crimes, but that’s not what this is about.
Makan@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmygrad.ml•Obama Russiagate scandal exposed: new declassified US intelligence documents reveal fabrication of Russia interference narrativeEnglish2·5 days agoI… actually doubt it.
While I agree about the Democrats being in denial, this would probably cause a real split.

They said that after the fact, after they that they “hacked” the election machines, or “hacked” something.
It was vague enough to be misleading, to some degree, but they were acting like it was actual infrastructure; the whole media ran with it.
“Influencing” an election isn’t a crime in this day and age.

Makan@lemmygrad.mlto Comradeship // Freechat@lemmygrad.ml•I need help teaching kids!English1·19 days agoDamn, this is a lot to read. You’re based in Hungary, right?
Also, as a fellow Autistic, I suggest being careful with how you air your opinions and maybe let the kids decide while presenting them the facts of the matter.
Don’t try to browbeat them into the correct opinions or truth; you want to not traumatize anyone accidentally. Definitely clamp down on bullying.
When I was a kid, I was called racist epithets and bullied a lot.

Makan@lemmygrad.mlto Comradeship // Freechat@lemmygrad.ml•I got banned from Hexbear (in my opinion!) unreasonably, cannot appeal the ban or anything because my account is based in LemmygradEnglish1·3 months agoThey have dunk culture when it comes to people a lot and you barely have time to respond; my own comments were one or two sentences long sometimes because 1) I was going through a crisis IRL and didn’t always have the time to respond effectively; and 2) they… sometimes made long points but didn’t always have much substance to them; it was basically “CPUSA is revisionist.” “I don’t think anyone in CPUSA is revisionist or believes in such” and then “You’re not giving me any reasons to believe that they aren’t revisionst” and I’m thinking to myself “What the fuck am I supposed to be RESPONDING to?” (Not everyone did this, and some replies were more thoughtful or well-put, and gave me more to work with, but other people just wasted time, looking back, especially during an IRL crisis, and the “he said, she said” fiasco didn’t help), and 3) the replies or comments were sometimes very rude and would spawn off into something else when I tried to call them out on their ad hominems, sometimes, I would mention one point… before someone jumped in and spawned that one sentence into something different, and usually it was rude and didn’t have anything to do with the original point. For example, someone blamed my problems on me being Autistic and justified it with saying “I’m Autistic as well” and I’m thinking to myself “Then you know that in the Autistic community, we say 'If you’ve met an Autistic person, you’ve met an Autistic person.” I do want to add that they were NOT doing it in good faith and were very rude about it too. It’s very rude to just mention that and in such a curt fashion, no matter who you are.
There were a lot of people that, for example, were anti-Autistic or had poor behavior toward Autistic people, such as that mother who made her 3 year old son go to ABA and justified it and… wasn’t reprimanded, especially not banned. She seemed to be quite abusive, but eh, nobody did a thing.
Overall, I could’ve handled things better, but honestly, me mentioning something like “I like CPUSA” before it spawned off into a whole argument while I was dealing with abuse and trauma IRL was really uncalled for.
I’m glad that I was banned, I guess, looking back.
Yeah, same, but to be fair, even I could be wrong; it was so long ago.
