How many users does IG have that are registered as under 18?
I’m 25 now, but I still always say I was born in the 80s out of habit…
It’s a good step, but it won’t fix things.

I used to find it utterly hilarious before I switched to Lemmy, how redditorshated twitterx and twitterx users, then would praise reddit and the reddit community lmfao.
My handshake brings all the boys to the yard.
So just accept your place in a broken system, got it. Just go support more increasingly right wing fascist policies and give up on any hope for Democracy.*
Pure strawman.
Pretty sure voting for a write in candidate/third party is, by definition, participating in the system.
You just accept the system is broken and undemocratic and believe others should accept this as well and give up.
You are more devoted to “order” than to justice; you prefer a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; you constantly say “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; you paternalistically believe you can set the timetable on progress and constantly advise the progressive to to wait for a “more convenient season”.
You are the “white moderate” MLK warned of, as is the vast majority of the party, though not for long, as the party increasingly seeks the support of the right to avoid allowing any policy victory for the left.
You are increasingly the Republican party of Cheney, as demonstrated by, not only his support for the party, but by the party and Kamala herself touting the endorsement, rather than ignoring it/distancing themselves.
Alaska has a Republican Governor along with a Republican Majority in the house and Senate, they have no restrictions on abortion.
Does this mean the Republican party is pro-choice or that by voting Republican we can secure abortion rights? The answer is no.
Alaska, a red state, is reportedly trying to remove their rank choice voting. This isn’t a “Dems” problem, it’s a two party problem.
This is a counter to the Democratic party supporters you see everywhere who always get irrationally upset at third party voters, not about Republicans.
The point is, if the Democratic party never plan to address it, then how will it ever get done through voting Dem? The same goes for all the other issues people claim we should ignore in the name of “vote blue no matter who”, including their genocide.
Oh no, the Hitler particles have crossed the human toaster barrier.
He was similarly just an online personality (YouTuber, funny commentary)just like Drew Gooden, until recently it was revealed he hooked up with a minor, knowing they were a minor (like 9 years ago or so)
It’s funny because a couple months ago someone would have left a similar comment as you about him being included, but now he belongs with those other “evil” people.
Yeah, they’re so untrustworthy because MBFC says so …
Analysis / Bias
Headlines and articles use moderately loaded language like this: NFL Freezes Policy Barring Players From Kneeling During Anthem. This particular story is republished from the conspiracy website ZeroHedge. Typically, Mint Press sources their information, but sometimes it is from Mixed factual or conspiracy websites. In general, story selection moderately favors the left, such as this Trump Administration Opens Door for Corporate Attack on Vulnerable Wildlife.
Okay? Neither of those articles are untrustworthy or wrong…
Mint Press News primarily focuses on stories about the middle east, Iran, Syria, and Israel. Most stories are negative when covering Israel, such as this CHRIS HEDGES: ISRAEL AND THE RISE OF JEWISH FASCISM.
Almost like Israel is a genocidal apartheid state and most coverage of them should be negative, that’s not bias. It just shows MBFCs bias…
Politically, Mint Press News aligns with the far-left and frequently reports negatively on establishment Democrats like this WHO IS BIDEN WORKING FOR? ON ISRAEL VISIT, “ZIONIST” BIDEN WHITEWASHES ISRAEL’S CRIMES and conservative such as this EMBOLDENED BY TRUMP AND NETANYAHU, JEWISH SETTLER TERRORISM IS SPIKING. Finally, according to the Rutgers University Network Contagion Research Institute, Mint Press “promotes anti-Jewish conspiracy theories.”
Almost like Israel is a genocidal apartheid state and most coverage of them and “establishment Democrats” and “conservative” who defend/support them will be “biased” against them, unless you agree with said genocidal apartheid…

Failed Fact Checks
Millions of Muslims protested against the Islamic State in November 2016, but a “media blackout” prevented people from hearing about the event. – Mostly False
Let’s see how “false” this is and how ruined their credibility should be because of it…
Although the original article was published under a misleading clickbait title, it was at least based on a real event: millions of Shia Muslims did embark on a pilgrimage in November 2016 to visit the shrine of Imam Hussein in Karbala, Iraq. This pilgrimate is an annual undertaking for Arbaeen, which marks the end of forty days of mourning of the martyrdom of Hussein:
The pilgrimage was reported (as it is every year) by multiple mainstream news outlets. While it is a religious event and not specifically a political one, some news outlets reported that the annual pilgrimage has taken on a defiant tone as attacks from the Islamic State have plagued the area
So it was millions of people gathering in a defiant tone against the Islamic state…it’s just false because “some news outlets” reported it as such so there was no “media blackout”…
No single source or site is perfect. MBFC is just as biased and shouldn’t be used to dismiss an entire source of information because they say they are biased.
NOTE: This is less a defense of mintpres news (they do get a little crazy) and more a statement against the use of MBFC and similar as a crutch.
The fact Cody Ko fits 💀
Pedantic return: it has 3 screens with 2 connecting hinges, it is therefore trifold.

Yep, you’re right that she wouldn’t win and you would be propping up Trump
Actually I’d be propping up Kamala by not voting for Trump.
Considering the vast majority who are protesting against him are doing it for reasons other than seeing Palestinians as people deserving of equal rights. Yes, for most of them.
They’re all colonizers, they’re just arguing over the best way to colonize. The enemy of my enemy is a useful ally, not a friend.
Por que no los dos?
If you read them simultaneously perhaps you would get 100% and avoid the zeno
If you can’t explain your points without using antisemitic dogwhistles I don’t know what to tell you, man.
I never said otherwise, man.
There’s literally tons of ways to describe the same thing without turning to antisemitic dogwhistles.
Sure, but those ways aren’t common and rooted in the community they belong to/are referencing, and its not necessarily anti-semitic just because it is associated with a Hebrew word, just like it wouldn’t be anti-german to call it “UnterSlop”.
If you can’t think of them, and need to reach for the word that’s clearly rooted in racism, maybe that says something about you.
I never said these people or the culture they dwell in were the pinnacle of humanity we should all aspire to be like. Just that instantly dismissing them and all they say as anti-semitic 1) isn’t necessarily true and 2) doesn’t help, just further isolates them and isolation is a recruitment grounds for real and dangerous anti-semitic/racist/fascist communities.
Look at this from an outside perspective.
Hypothetically, he isn’t anti-semitic, what is the result of your words? Are they constructive and intended to help them grow and learn not to repeat the incident or are they dismissive and self serving, to make yourself feel better/superior? What’s the best/worst outcome in this scenario?
Okay
Hypothetically, he is anti-semitic, will your words change that? Was he about to recruit others to the anti-semitic cause until you chimed in? In this case, what is helped?
Do they have bombs in them?
