One can be anti-facist without being part of the antifas, yes. I don’t know from where you are but antifa is a specific subculture here, and in many places in Europe at least.

Without being a specific organization, antifa is still a specific culture with symbols, medias and codes forming a specific identity claimed and felt by people. One can be anti-fascist without being antifa.

Dear US frogs, the water is boiling. If you have the possibility to either leave or organize armed resistance, you should do it fast. Your window of opportunity is about to close.

Cue Fortunate Son

It depends if you’re only talking about multi-player or including solo too. I see no harm in customizing one’s experience with cheats in single player.

Yes and no. If you want to play China you can play as the various chinese incarnations from beginning to end.

It only works with China for some mysterious reason though.

Well, I’m glad to learn it’s on a steady decline then :)

Check out Dmytro Yarosh, Pravy Sektor or the Azov Brigade for example. They have far more reach than “1% on elections”.

Historicaly the nazis were very popular in Ukraine because they fought against the soviets which, as you can guess, weren’t much liked by most of the population. They were seen as heroes and liberators by a lot of people. That doesn’t make it right, but it makes sense. History has a tendency to be grey like that.

Well, those groups were obviously among the first to fight against the Russians in eastern Ukraine after Maïdan. They were very active in the Maïdan revolution too.

It’s a valid thing to point out that integrating neo-nazi or nazi-adjacent people like that in the government and war machine is problematic. That doesn’t invalidate Ukraine’s legitimacy or give credit to Russia’s stupid claims. But denying those facts only fuels the russian propaganda machine.

You know, we can acknowledge the errors of Ukraine without removing their rights to live as a free country.

Ukraine had a big problem with far right, and it was full of corruption. I don’t know to which extent it is still true, but that doesn’t mean we should let Russia annex or ethnically cleanse them.

Personally no, sadly, but I’ll DM you maybe we can find way.

Excuse-me I was trying some lighthearted irony, but yeah the situation is shitty for you guys. I’m watching from the sidelines (them being another country) so I can only imagine the stress you feel.

Honestly at this point and seeing how the protests that are organized are insufficient and/or ineffective I’d advise to leave that mess before it’s too late, but not everybody can uproot themselves.

I hope things get better. And if you need specific help to try to emigrate to Europe you can reach out to me if you want.

You will just have to buy for more money through a company that imported it in bulk I guess, it’s not the end of the world, just another big beautiful Trump price inflation.

Oh yeah excuse-me for some reason I didn’t registered you needed advanced parts.

Sorry for you. You might be able to make it yourself with a 3d printer?

The kid was trying to find a solution to reach out to someone, he said that he wanted to leave the rope out in the open so that his parents can find out. ChatGPT told him to not do it and that it’s better if they find him after the fact

Oh my God this is crazy… “Thanks for being real with me”, “hide it from others”, he even gives better reasons for the kid to kill himself than the ones the kid articulated himself and helps him make better knot

There is even a sequence where the two fuckers try to force him to say that “if he dies on stream, it won’t be their fault” but the fault of his “shitty health situation”. He flat out refused.

They perfectly knew they were in the process of killing him.

From what I understood the two fuckers will probably get a 25 to 30 years of jail sentence, and some of the people who donated money to them to encourage them in the torture also risk prison time. Which I fucking hope they get.

Someone took upon himself to save all the worst clips and try to raise the alarm, they have more than 300 hours of stream capture with evidence of torture and other wrongdoings.

If I understood properly the guy was a kinda homeless person that the two fuckers “hosted” in their house in exchange for participating (being tortured) in their streams. He was disabled or mentally challenged too, and there was another victim of theirs that was handicapped in the flat too.

The alarm has been raised for at least 8 months but neither the police nor the national agencies nor the minister contacted either did or decided to do anything. Every time the police came the victims were saying that all was good and they gave their consent to anything, but on stream they were often asking to call the cops, an ambulance or trying to leave and the two fuckers barred them the exit and threatened to beat them or throw them back to the streets. So they were basically held hostage.

The whole thing is a disgrace. It was the most viewed French language stream on Kick for months, two vulnerable people being tortured on stream and nobody did anything.

I guess that anyone who managed to make the effort to join Lemmy is already on the right track.
