Apart from some political communities I like, Science Memes is nice. !science_memes@mander.xyz.
I would have liked !physics@mander.xyz if it was more active :(, I hope it gains traction later.

Communists aren't evil. That stinks of red scare propaganda. Though apparently she did vote for the Ukrainian invasion, which sucks. And no, that doesn't devalue the achievements of the Soviet Space program. It does count.
There's a twitter thread. An account named 'Anonymous France' has posted this link : https://www.mediafire.com/file/9prdor8m7a1z9f6/Leaked+Data+of+corrupt+officials.rar/file . Cannot verify the veracity of this information, but there was a r/worldnews thread saying that's its mostly worthless. This news site is known for peddling fake news, so it might be a whole lot of nonsense.
The first 'female-only crew' in space is technically Valentina Tereshkova (she went alone). Not these women.
.ml is the only place they actually get downvoted, which is sad because it's filled with annoying 'Dengists'.
I think he personally admires Netanyahu far more, considering how much his party tactics copy Israel but yeah, birds of a feather.
India is kissing Trump's arse, unfortunately. They are considering removing tariffs even more than they did before the announcement. Though there's a UK-India deal floating around as well, and talks with the EU. This might just be anti-China opportunism, though. Apple and Samsung announced that they're moving their factories to India because of the tariffs.

Thank you. You've solved a mystery that bugged me since forever lol. Yay, I am not crazy. I legit thought there was something wrong with my eyesight all these years, or that they were just weird floaters. Thank you so much, friend. Relate hard to the sound stuff as well, it's nice to know it happens to other people al well.
Non violence is easy to ignore. First it starts with, 'Don't destroy public property.' Then, it's, 'Don't block roads.' You get a handful of liberals acting in good faith against a system that always acts on bad faith unless forced to change otherwise. After that, it is, 'Don't cause traffic jams.' All these rules sound fair but they're designed to keep protests harmless, useless and easily ignored while normalizing such rules so that people are more repulsed by individual violence than state injustice. If you follow the rules, you accomplish nothing because tyrants don't listen to others; if you don't, you are a terrorist. Liberals concerned with the optics of protest thus take away the very thing that can save them as the definition of peaceful gets narrower and narrower.
Violence is legitimate for legitimate ends. Power concedes nothing without a struggle.
Turns out the Interpol red alert was for reasons wholly unrelated to the Section 295A case.. He is accused of swindling 15 lakhs from a fellow rationalist. Helsinki Times did some very shoddy journalism, I'll remove the post immediately.
That was what I found so surprising. I've heard Poland is religious; their abortion laws seem to be terrible, but are they really as bad as, say, Erdogan's Turkey? Or parts of America? Hopefully this is just a procedural detention and they don't actually deport him or something because there's a very good chance he'll be jailed or murdered if some crazy northern minister gets hold of him. His surname sounds southern, though, so hopefully he'll be safe.
There are more slaves today than there were during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade (not counting indentured servitude, which was abolished only in 1917~1920 by the country that prides itself on ending the slave trade. Not counting serfdom either). Kevin Bales wrote a book on it - 'Disposable Peoples.' Salty libs downvoting the comic would benefit from some reading. Read 'Cobalt Red' by S. Kara while you're at it too.
Liberals are so efficient when cracking down on communists, purging them with ruthless efficiency from both the public sphere and the government then why do they go soft on fascists who abuse free speech with some silly milquetoast excuse? It's so obvious.
