The 1% have 30.3% of the wealth. The next 9% have 36.6%. The next 40% have 30.6%. The bottom 50% have 2.5%.

I'd rather trust a human to translate sensitive political documents. The website has an English section, but it doesn't look like this entry has been translated. At least, I couldnt find it after searching for "palestine" or "gaza" on the English page and looking for something dated 2024-05-31.

You won't see this, but... the Lemmy devs are Marxists, not right-wingers. Lemmygrad is definitely Marxist (Leninist). Lemmy.ml is left-wingers of all types.

The companies hawking e-cars have much larger advertising accounts with NYT than those hawking e-bikes.

Ditto. /c/hail_corporate is deleted now. I squatted /c/socialistra during the reddit migration wave -- the original subreddit was never officially a project of the Socialist Rifle Association and had been the source of some grief for the org (and I didn't want to see the same thing happen on Lemmy) -- but I'll leave it to admins to decide its fate.

IIRC, some of these "MAGA communists" were originally contributing to ProleWiki before ProleWiki booted out the patsocs.

It’s better medicine for a ton of things than most pharmaceutical drugs

That's a bold claim commonly made by hucksters of all sorts. It has its documented medical uses, but as others have mentioned, it's no panacea.

The ending was supposed to be even better: the capitalists were all supposed to start bidding against each other for "someone" to build them a house on the new planet, until they realized that there was no one left to build one. Labour is the source of all value and so on and so on...

Correct.

But approximately 40 minutes ago a massive explosion was detected at the Russians' Baikonur launch complex.

US President Joe Biden has called Chinese President Xi Jinping a dictator at a fundraiser in California.

His remarks come a day after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met Mr Xi for talks in Beijing, which were aimed at easing tensions between the two superpowers.

Mr Xi said some progress had been made in Beijing, while Mr Blinken indicated both sides were open to more talks.

China is yet to respond to Mr Biden's comments.

President Biden, at the fundraiser on Tuesday night local time, also said Mr Xi was embarrassed over the recent tensions around a Chinese spy balloon that had been blown off course over the US.

"The reason why Xi Jinping got very upset, in terms of when I shot that balloon down with two box cars full of spy equipment in it, was he didn't know it was there," Mr Biden said.

"That's a great embarrassment for dictators. When they didn't know what happened."

Mr Blinken's visit to Beijing - the first by a top US diplomat in almost five years - restarted high-level communications between the two countries. Both Mr Biden and Mr Xi hailed it as a welcome development. But Mr Blinken made clear that major differences remain between the two countries.

Washington and Beijing have long locked horns over an array of issues including trade, human rights, and Taiwan.

But relations have especially deteriorated in the past year. With the US election looming and tensions with China emerging as a political issue, some Republican senators have attacked the Biden administration for being "soft" on China.

OCR/caption below. It's a post from a sopuli.xyz user saying that Lemmygrad is the worst Lemmy instance of them all, even ones carrying far-right terrorism, NSFL gore, and CSAM.


same, I'm on Sopuli and their Blocklist is pretty short but has the worst ones.

they are really, really bad and some are straight up illegal in some countries.

Mostly far-right ones, straight up terrorism (seriously there are people with RAF and other terrorist organization's logos on their profile pics there), nsfl gore videos (like people dying and being tortured type of stuff), and nsfw ones full of underage anime girls in suggestive poses...

lemmygrad is probably the worst one out of all of them, just because of it's [sic] size (tankie terrorist group)

Ah yes. There's far-right terrorism, NSFL gore, CSAM, but it's the commies that are "the worst one out of all of them."

Haven't been to the range in a while. My trigger discipline has definitely decayed. Still not terrible though.
