Read up about the Paypal Mafia and all of its lovely racist, white-supremicist, nazi-loving roots.

Not banned, I just like Communism, FOSS, and decentralization.

Everything Thiel does makes sense when you learn he literally went to a nazi school in a white supremacist town in Africa.

I’m very in favor of personal freedom

And what "freedoms" do you enjoy in the USA / The West (yes I realize you said you're from Africa)? The freedom to choose between two capitalist/fascist warmongers every 2-4 years in your elections? The freedom to have the police state protect private property over humans? The freedom to wage wars on the global south? The freedom to fund and aid in genocide? The freedom to be overworked and underpaid while billionaires extract every ounce of wealth from countries and workforces? The freedom to go into lifelong debt for basic human rights (housing, health, education)?

The majority of Chinese actually believe that China is more free than the United States ... this is more important than whatever a Western-funded "Freedom Index" claims.

decreasing wealth inequality

The CPC (not CCP) lifted 800 million people from abject poverty and have effectively eliminated extreme poverty in the country. China also has higher home ownership rates than the US, higher effective literacy rate, lower infant mortality, lower rates of suicide and gun violence, lower obesity, ... While billionaires exist in China, they do not (and cannot) control/influence government, and corporations do not extract wealth from key industries.

That's why I came to Lemmy. Sure open source and decentralized and all that too. But somebody on reddit described Lemmy as "Leftist Reddit" and I said count me in!

This is literally what Grant Park at the north end in Chicago looked like until they built millennium Park

All my data scientists coworkers who look at the map data that is supplied to these self-driving companies also say the same thing. Our Stanford PhD Data Scientist drives a 20 year old Toyota 😆

You can use Brave search without using Brave. It's also, to my knowledge, the only major search engine that doesn't use google or microsoft.

I don't pay for plex so I don't really care, at this point in time.

Ubisoft's first North American union, located at their Halifax, Nova Scotia studio, was certified on December 18th, 2025. Now, not even a full 30 days later, Ubisoft Halifax is closing.

Having played Alwa's Legacy first, I did not expect this ending! Great game, although I like the sequel better ☺️
