The Pyramids of Egypt were not constructed with slave labor. Archaeological evidence shows that the laborers were a combination of skilled workers and poor farmers working in the off-season with the participants paid in high-quality food and tax exemptions. The idea that slaves were used originated with Herodotus, and the idea that they were Israelites arose centuries after the pyramids were constructed.

Time to watch it spread!

The people voting for Trump lack self-awareness, empathy, and critical thinking, but they are still humans.

Not really terminology, but I would recommend trying to engage in good faith when discussing more complex issues on Lemmy. Keep your eyes peeled for trolls who are not open minded and block them once they show they’re unreceptive to civil discussion. Since the userbase is rather small, it works extremely well and makes your experience so much better.

Most likely the 3 people in their think tank who know fully well what the end goal of the MAGA movement is.

To clarify, this is not an undermining or comparison of both conflicts. This is more so to provide an alongside image to hold news stations accountable for what they determine as “crossing a line”.

Ah, a troll gotcha. Nowhere did I say China was good. That is just a bad faith take. I was hoping you were actually trying to learn. Don’t bother responding, you are blocked.

Censorship, what does that have to do with the current conversation of the United States attempts at censorship of the Pro-Palestine narrative?

My friend, do you think China does not benefit from the destabilization caused by putting the USA’s blatant support of the ongoing genocide in Gaza on display for all the world to see? Does China have USA’s best interest at heart, no. Is this platform allowing the continued growth of Pro-Palestine support, yes.

The opposite, actually. I do agree that the “ban unless sold” situation with tiktok stems from lack of control over the narrative due to the crackdowns we are seeing on college protests.

As long as the right people are held accountable for that damage. The mainstream media does not have a good track record of reporting on the side of striking workers.

Don’t look up.

Video games, tbh. Absolutely love it when a new, good FPS drops.

Same people he has been fooling for years. The fanatical MAGA believers and everyone on the right who subscribes to the whole, “If it doesn’t fit my narrative, it is fake news.”

I agree civics is immensely important, but I think we might have bigger issues in our education system.

A surprise, but a welcome one. At least at face value, the position is much better than the stance of the current and potential leaders of the US.

Affiliated with the Democratic party for those wondering.

This does not mean I endorse any right wing views, we just need to stay accountable for all politicians and be critical of corruption anywhere.
