Yeah I couldn’t think of a person responsible for more deaths than him untill you brought up George Bush. You made a fair point and I changed my mind. What’s racist about that? I don’t get where this hostility is coming from.

Few days ago someone said reddit is mostly bots and when I said I went and checked the profiles of 10 different top commentors from the most popular subs and said that none of them seemed like bots to me I was then essentially told that they mimic real humans so well that it’s impossible to tell.

So in other words it’s not actually mostly bots but this is just a narrative the people hating on reddit want to believe in. If it was actually mostly bots it would be easy to verify by opening 3 random profiles. Atleast one of those should be a bot.

SD card reader is nice to have if you fuck around with cameras and microphones.

Yeah, props to Apple for bringing back the card reader and HDMI. When I bought my early 2015 MBP I specifically went with the older model because these ports were removed on the newer one which also came with the shitty butterfly keyboard as well which they’ve also since discontinued.

Or does it only count in your book when the people dying “look like us”?

No that totally counts. Why do you need to imply I have some racist agenda here?

And your proof of this is… what?

The war in Ukraine has so far caused around 300k deaths. I can’t think of a person alive who’d be responsible for more deaths than that.

Stalin is dead

There is little reason to talk shit of Putin as he is so hated, just as no reason to discuss water being wet.

Wouldn’t the same be true about Elon and Trump though, especially when talking about Lemmy.

To be fair. In my experience I see much more hate directed towards Trump and Elon here in Finland too. Putin is rarely the subject of discussion among my friends.

Wouldn’t it also be correct to say that on Lemmy, Trump and Elon are also almost universally hated too? That’s why it’s so confusing that I mostly see it directed at them when I feel like it should be more towards Putin.

On a second though, the amount of tankies here probably explain this to a some extent.

Israel caused more death and suffering than Russia

Irrelevant and not true.

As of 5 November 2024, over 45,000 people (43,391 Palestinian[1] and 1,706 Israeli)[19] have been reported killed in the Israel–Hamas war

Russia’s military casualties, the officials said, are approaching 300,000. The number includes as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injured troops. The Russian numbers dwarf the Ukrainian figures, which the officials put at close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded.

And that doesn’t even include civilians.

I follow plenty of news communities as well as Ukraine and NoCredibleDefence communities but I still rarely see comments like that. Not never but it seems way disproportionate compared to what I see of these right-wing political figures.
