I know how to add a picture

GIFs are no different. It’s a very size-intensive format, though, and Lemmy will reject files over a certain size.

David Lynch isn’t for the literarily ignorant.

Primitive communism[^1], meaning pre-primitive accumulation, pre-capitalism, and pre-industrial revolution, is a vastly different mode of production from post-capitalist, post-industrial revolution socialism or communism.

[^1]: inb4 the inevitable bad-faith reading of primitive in this context: also called previous accumulation, original accumulation

It was intended to be so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_realism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lynch

He is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers in the history of cinema, with his films often characterized by a distinctive surrealist sensibility that gave rise to the adjective "Lynchian". He is often credited with bringing surrealism and experimentalism to mainstream media in the late 20th century.

It’s past time to get a solid legal framework.

Perhaps the suit over Max Blumenthal’s recent experience will set some precedence. ADC sues DHS Secretary Mullin over illegal CBP seizure of Max Blumenthal’s devices

Edit to add: Perhaps not: DHS has returned his devices, probably because they did’t want this to go to court, probably because they know their legal position is weak.

I doubt you’re actually old, because that’s not how it usually works.

The US’ usual propaganda tricks—which worked so well for so many decades—has collapsed in the face of a live streaming Palestinian genocide. People aren’t buying the bullshit anymore. They’re not buying what imperial shills like Masih Alinejad are selling.


Edit to add: War on Gaza: How pro-Israel Iranian Americans are silencing Palestine supporters

The pro-Israel segments of the Iranian-American community include prominent activists such as Masih Alinejad, who said in 2021 that she would “love to visit Israel”. Since the 7 October attacks, she has called on Washington to designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terror group for Tehran’s support of Hamas.

However, several activists who spoke to Middle East Eye said that these individuals are just a small minority of the larger Iranian-American community.

They say the reason that it appears that most Iranians in the diaspora are pro-Israel is because most of the ones who do support Palestine are afraid to speak up.

"The vocal presence of Iranian Zionists online and at rallies might create a misleading perception. In reality, many Iranians are afraid to speak out and do not align with this viewpoint," said one Iranian activist who spoke to [Middle East Eye] on condition of anonymity.

"The loudness on social media doesn't accurately represent the broader sentiment."
