Careful with that quote, it's by Kevin Alfred Strom a Neo-Nazi from an 1993 essay in the national Vanguard, a white nationalist publication and it refers to the antisemitic trope of world Judaism.

I'm not criticizing you, just want to contextualize it because it could be misconstrued to be a antisemitic dog-whistle, especially in the context of the linked article.

It's an axiomatic truism. It's logic is self contained.

Well, that just means he has experience ruling over people, and not allowing them to criticize him.

That means it's valid.

If the fediverse can focus on integrating content from from other fediverse sources extremely organically, the fediverse will win. I shouldn't have to leave Lemmy to watch this video.

Did you have to leave on .world? I didn't have to on my instance, but I don't know exactly how all that works.

In this case I'd say it's especially good for the sake of loops rather than lemmy. Loops is quite a small platform, and looking at it now, this post has 23 likes and 2 comments. But two posts I've seen on lemmy, totaling ~800 upvotes and ~45 comments.

Seems like pulling that info into loops would make it all feel much more lively, though I'm sure this isn't insight to the already busy loops creator!

You need to leave? I could just watch it on the timeline. Using jerboa, I guess it depends on client.

Are there some federated video sites? Most of the video results in duckduckgo are hosted by the tech giants, would be cool if there was some alternatives

PeerTube is the biggest player for fediverse video as far as I know. There is also Loops, which is where this video is hosted.

She knows exactly what she is doing. She probably wouldn't even get into any trouble if she had let the guy go on for a bit since it is just a random, live interview. Doesn't matter, though, as boot-fellating, spittle-licking toadies will instantly and hungrily provide cover for the owner class. There will always be a critical mass of just about every demographic (even those you would not expect it from) who will be willing to sell out for that payday. If she doesn't try to silence or steamroll any even remotely anti-greed rhetoric she might be passed over for that next promotion.

A misunderstanding on your part I thinks. I believe they are saying it was inappropriate to attempt to sanitize reality so they could release a "feel good puff piece".

You and I are in agreement; the user I responded to seemed to be implying otherwise.

Edit: I think it’s a bit strong to say it’s “a literal white supremacist talking point.” Your average boomer is going to mistakenly associate it with Voltaire. I think folks that are some level below terminally online have seen one of the many pieces pointing out its origin. Away from the author, it could stand on its own merits which is why “kids with cancer” is a funny response to it. In the US, at least, I haven’t seen a lot of discussion from the white supremacists who run the government on this quote which further makes me question if it’s a literal talking point. Perhaps you are aware of groups that are actively pushing it? If not, it’s a bit more reasonable to say what the first response in this thread said. Be careful.
