NED also uses the global assemblies of the World Movement for Democracy to grant the Democracy Courage Tributes. Since the Eighth Global Assembly in 2015, names related to China has begun to appear on the list of recipients. Anti-China organizations and individuals seeking independence for Tibet or Hong Kong or related to the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM) have successively received the Tributes. For example, an Eighth Assembly (2015) recipient is Nathan Law, a “Hong Kong independence” separatist; a Ninth Assembly (2018) recipient is Jin Bianling, wife of the so-called “human rights lawyer” Jiang Tianyong; and among the Tenth Assembly (2021) recipients are Hong Kong Watch, a British anti-China organization seeking to disrupt Hong Kong, Students for a Free Tibet, a “Tibet independence” organization, and Campaign for Uyghurs, an ETIM-related group.

I don’t know what sort of reputation (if any) the Pew Research Center has amongst leftists, and I have mixed feelings about it myself.

I mean, on one hand it’s an American think tank based in Washington D.C. (obvious red flag)

…but the other hand, Pew Research Center = PRC (☭🇨🇳BASED🇨🇳☭)

Shitty jokes aside, this article is relevant and worth reading, imho. Seems to be written pretty objectively and is surprisingly devoid of any obvious imperialist bullshit, as far as I can tell.

The fact that he’s got a paint tray and a paint tray liner, both filled up with paint, sitting side by side is so goddamn funny to me.

Share everywhere!

I stand in solidarity with our fallen reddit comrades 🙏

These are the coalitions that shuts down pirate websites and fining businesses that doesn't have a license to broadcast their media that mostly cost in higher prices. The main examples of these are Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE), Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT), Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA), BREIN, Kakao P.CoK and even the Motion Picture Association (MPA) and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

As a socialist, how we can win against them? My idea is to make a lot of copylefted media that are licensed under CC licensed or MIT/Apache/GPL for software so we can weaken them.

Is there a backup of the Reddit sub wiki?

I only found this, and much of it is outdated and/or incomplete: https://archive.ph/https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDeprogram/wiki/*

He was found dead with his wife, they both killed themselves in fear of what the Red Army would do to them. Political violence in Germany has become intolerable and even if we may not agree with what Goebbels has said, he didnt deserve to die, the man had 6 kids who now dont have a father.

I denounce all political violence and if the Red Army hadnt shot so many Nazis (for simply disagreeing with them politically!) then people like Goebbels would have to live in fear.

We must continue Goebbels wishes and continue to participate in civilized debate and discussion!

western leftists will never have my respect.

Hello r/TheDeprogram friends!

I was one of the mods of our beloved community, and it's truly lovely to see you all here! 🙂

First things first, I want to thank our friends here at Lemmygrad (along with Hexbear.net and Lemmy.ml) for being so great and providing us with such an amazing place to reconnect. Thanks to them and their efforts at ProleWiki, we can still view our old Wiki here and our old Study Guide here. Of course, Lemmygrad also has plenty of other reading suggestions!

If you're new to Lemmy, you can find great resources on which app to use and how to browse Lemmy in general right here.

The ban itself is frustrating. The other mods and I did our best to create a nice community for everyone, and we tried hard to avoid a repeat of r/genzdong. However, we didn't expect the Reddit team to ban us immediately like that, without any warning or communication. I guess it shows how based we were as a community lol.

As of now, the other mods and I are waiting to hear about possible updates from the Reddit team regarding our appeals (which can be submitted here), but I would say to operate under the assumption that the ban could be permanent.

I have a lot more that I could say, of course, but I want to close with a more personal message: you all have been splendid! ❤️

I personally loved seeing you shitpost just as much as I enjoyed seeing you offer informative and educational answers in the sub. As someone who joined Lemmygrad after r/GenZedong was quarantined, it truly gave me hope to see so many new comrades (and some old ones with their alt accounts too haha) join us at r/TheDeprogram every day. It really helped remind me that regardless of how many subreddits and communities get shut down for being too inconvenient to the people on top, they cannot stop people from being curious, looking for answers, and creating their own communities in any way they can.

I will see you all around!
