  • Disruptive protest, no matter how annoying, is valid and should be protected under law. When the government moves to ban protest and dissent, they've crossed the line into authoritarianism.

    The right to protest is a fundamental of democracy, and we should not accept any erosion of the fundamentals of democracy.







  • As others have said, it's a war of attrition. There's no end in sight. As it stands, we can only speculate on who is winning. Russia have so far failed to make any significant gains, and Ukraine have so far failed to push the Russians out.

    It's a bit like the stalemates of trench warfare in WW1. Something will have to give eventually.

    As you may or may not be aware, Sweden is not a state in the United States of America. Sweden is a country in northern Europe. Unless you figured it out by now, US law does not apply here. For your information, no Swedish law is being violated.

    Please be assured that any further contact with us, regardless of medium, will result in

    a) a suit being filed for harassment

    b) a formal complaint lodged with the bar of your legal counsel, for sending frivolous legal threats.

    It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are ....... morons, and that you should please go sodomize yourself with retractable batons.

    Please also note that your e-mail and letter will be published in full on http://www.thepiratebay.org/

    Go fuck yourself.

    Polite as usual,

    Feel like I've heard the Lamborghini Urus casually mentioned in about a dozen UK hip-hop tracks over the past 6 months..


  • They are hardline Marxist-Leninists, something that is very rare in the western world even amongst those who identify as leftist or socialist. If their views make you uncomfortable, then you're not a ML, which is okay.

    Left-wing politics is a very broad spectrum, and a lot of Lemmy users lean towards the more moderate end which brings them into conflict with the more radical communities that are Lemmygrad and Hexbear.

    That's all there is to it.
