I just straight won't engage with video-only news.

Weirdly, I know for a fact I've upvoted a number of posts today, but my search on this ONLY shows my downvotes?

I definitely down vote more than I upvote, though. It's habitual to think "that is fucked up and really shouldn't be here," but a lot less habitual to hit an up on every mildly neutral to positive comment that, tbh, deserves it. It's eye opening to have all my downvotes laid out in front of me. Though still weird that the ups I know for certain exist aren't showing.

Of COURSE the Canada section is overwhelmingly Alberta.

God fucking dammit. I hope this is fake, but I'm afraid it is not.

As an aside, please tell me you passed forum access to law enforcement.

It isn't about what they are. It's about what's good for her. I can't recommend the article enough, tbh. It's behind a subscription wall, which I can't ever recommend anyone bypass using popular websites, but I am sure you can get the article none the less.

But regardless, that's kind of aside the point, isn't it? Disagree or not, I still feel this qualified as news.

It doesn't.

I fundamentally disagree. See the piece published by The (British) Times written by Eva Kor after she publicly forgave Oskar Gröning at his trial for his actions in Auschwitz, titled "Why forgiveness is the best revenge of all." A first hand account of such events is infinitely more newsworthy than the majority of slop published. But it isn't news because it is, ultimately, an opinion piece on why she believes she is right to forgive him?

Context and nuance matters.

Depends on the article. That could absolutely be a headline for an opinion piece, or a professional interview, etc. Because of the context here, I'm suspicious that the "not news" argument is a dishonest one.

Saw a great article that was critical of the Uyghur labour camps and their relevance to China's dominance in cheap tech just silently disappear from [email protected] the other day. I don't know how to find the modlogs, and I've been wondering about that ever since. I expect that kind of shit from the fascist triumvirate instances but I found myself wondering who has their thumb in the .world pie.

Nah man, "parents rights" advocates. Because it is your right to give suffering to life you create.

0% homelessness in China btw.

Which is like the US declaring homelessness a federal crime, imprisoning everyone who lives on the streets, and calling homelessness a solved problem.

This. The "leftists" arguing for accelerationism are welcome to go to any of the fascist countries they love so much. They don't need to keep trying to force America down the same path.

Last I checked, Authoritarian rule under a single leader screaming about the importance of "merit" isn't found on the left of the spectrum.

I'd challenge the word "illegal" in the Republican strategy, but I'm with the spirit of your post.
