An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

It means I started to type "you're an ardent __________" something or other, then I got distracted or fell asleepWhat does that mean?
It was in jestI'm socially very, very right and economically a borderline communist. I really hate it. I'm too left for most right wingers and too right wing for most left wingers. What complicates this even further is that I'm a monarchist and do support Austrofascism. I'm just a disgusting chimera of political believes.
I didn't understand anything yo wrote, could you please explain it?
In what sense? Are you a Nazi as in far-right, antisemetic NSDAP national socialist or a person that believes in a combination of nationalism and socialism?

I've nevr heard of Sandinista?! WillFar left. Faaar left, as in, I've gone further left than the Dems, the Libertarians, and the Green Party.
I think I may be a Sandinista; I keep meaning to check their website.
Fair warning: This post is probably going to turn into a flame war in short order. Recently I asked people what their trusted news sources were, and in no time the thread had devolved into an absolutely nauseating shitshow of fringe-right conspiracy theory, proud Trump voters, and recommendations for "news" websites that were nothing more than undisguised outlets for supporting racism, misogyny, and xenophobia.
I was disturbed enough after looking at one of the recommendations for what at least one person considered a legitimate news source, that I asked a mod to take the entire thread down.
To be fair, Al Jazeera and Telesur were safe recommendations. By your comment, TMBS on YT would be a good one too.Far left. Faaar left, as in, I've gone further left than the Dems, the Libertarians, and the Green Party.

That's so funny, because economically I'm more right leaning, and socially I'm completely far-left.Economically leftist, socially conservative, coming from a far-left leaning (not communist, but not far off), liberal home.
Holy shit, you weren't lying! As far as you can get, literally.
I honestly believe such a party is unlikely to form in the US, much of Europe, and/or most of Asia. The African continent is repressed by neo-colonial powers, the newest being China. All that's left is Latin America but the 3 most prominent countries: Brazil, Cuba, and Venezuela are either entangled with US sanctions, embargos, CIA shenanigans, or have a fascist in office that essentially wants to commit collective suicide.I am waiting for a rationalist party to show up and overhaul the broken political systems we have. One that does not ignore reality in favour of ideological narrative. That wants costed policies that have some accountability built into them. One that treats oppositional debates like a debate club and demands sources are cited and questions are actually answered! That views the opposition as not an enemy but a counterpoint.That people that boo and jeer are thrown out because it is not a pantomime. Same for if they sleep, show up drunk or coked out their mind, they get a warning and then fired. (This is what happens in every other job I can think of! not politics though just apologise and it is all fine.) A party that pushes to get rid of ridiculous biases that skew results regardless of what side you are on. Gerrymandering, and first past the post need to go, there are more sensible systems out there. As does lobbying with financial incentive. Until all that happens it does not matter what your political leaning is. As your vote has little mathematical merit and the structures in place cause you to gain the opposite of what you voted for, even if your elected party won. Till then it all feels like pointless bread and circuses and the illusion of meaningful choice for us plebs.
And the politicians are happier too, so it's a win win situation3. The less you care about politics, the happier you will be
