Why isn't BBC listed as "British propaganda?" Same with many other western propaganda outlets. It seems like when leftists do it, it's propaganda, but when the west does it it's mostly fine for Rimu.

Bro my "left" leaning dev blocking all enemies of USA. If we put on a map only the highlight ones are permitted:

international-community-1international-community-2

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago

I'm assuming Rimu meant the left wing of fascism, not in general lol

[–] NotMushroomForDebate@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wouldn't expect a reply to this comment, lol.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep, Rimu blocked me from Piefed.social and Blahaj.zone followed (along with feddit.org), so there's no chance I can get a reply because neither the comrade I replied to nor Rimu can see my comments, lol.

[–] NotMushroomForDebate@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is genuinely so funny. As is typical, most of the well-sourced comments you make never receive anything rigorous in return, and they can't even claim trolling/harassing/AI/bot or anything because your comments are always cool-headed and respectful.

So I guess the best retort is to just completely hide your comments from their users? Lest they become curious and actually consider reading a book or an article?

PJ had Rimu block me because I called him out from a Lemmy.ml thread and explained why modern historiography doesn't point to the 1930s famine in Ukraine and the surrounding areas being a "genocide." They banned me for "genocide denial" as a consequence, which presumably they would also ban those opposing the idea of "white genocide" in South Africa if they were being honest.

The best part of it was it happened after their piefed pr person swore up and down rimu didn't interact or believe anything on mwog.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago

Yep, lmao. Rimu is plenty honest, I'll say that.

Why is the intercept on there??

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Who knows? Only Rimu. Maybe because they blew up the Paper of Record’s disinformation piece that manufactured consent for genocide.


Edit to add (and mentioned recently):
Disputing genocide accusations that the imperial core flings on its enemies, though, that’s his β€œred line.”

I love how it's basically a list of all the mainstream non western outlets.

[–] redrumBot@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Before starting work on PieFed I spent 3? years studying right wing disinformation - qanon, antivax, all that and that blocklist is an output from that. Every site on that list was reviewed personally. - Rimu

🀦🏽

[–] Edie@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

That seems to be about the other list. The noqanon one.

[–] redrumBot@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not sure. The post was about this list and the warning about a supposed Marxist-Leninist web. How an antifascist list has been created is unrelated, then, the logical conclusion is that was created at the same time or that was a bad faith and manipulative answer.
