- YSK Lemmy.World is fundraising for a Zionist media lobby
Recently Lemmy.World admins have heavily started pushing an MBFC bot in their bigger subs despite it being deeply unpopular with the users.
However rating propaganda was not enough for the mods as they are now actively fundraising for MBFC as well.
Evidence MBFC is ran by a Zionist:
The bias towards any pro-israel lobby website on MBFC is astoundingly obvious. Take for example UNWatch. UNwatch is still pushing the UNRWA is Hamas propaganda despite it being fully debunked by every country.
Surely a website like this spreading blatant propagands would have a poor MBFC. rating. Let's check it out!
MBFC knows that UNWatch is an israeli lobby but just doesn't think that's very important for their credibility rating
For sites criticizing israel it works the other way around.
They do not have to fail any fact checks, just being designated as a 'hate group' by an israeli lobby is enough for MBFC to become a questionable source.
This is known to the lemmy.world admins and mods
Over the course of the last 9 months I have pointed out multiple times in public and private messages that MBFC is an incredibly bad source of ratings. Multiple other users have also made summaries for the .World mods and admins over the last week (and before that).
The admins have willingly ignored this criticism and now added a donation link to the MBFC bot knowing full well what MBFC stands for. Lemmy.World is directly endorsing the Zionist media lobby.
- YSK About Notable Scientists Who Were Socialists, Communists, and Anarchists
Many well-known scientists throughout history have been socialists, communists, or anarchists. These scientists believed in forming a society where resources are more equitably distributed, often involving common ownership of the means of production. Here are some examples:
- Albert Einstein: Einstein was an anti-bureaucrat socialist and anti-Stalinist communist who supported a number of political causes, including socialism, nuclear disarmament, and civil rights.
- Lev Landau: Landau was an ardent communist who contributed to the construction of socialism in the USSR.
- Stephen Hawking: Hawking was a physicist who was led to socialism by the nature of his work.
- H.G. Wells: Wells was an ardent utopian and socialist who studied zoology.
- Robert Owen: Owen was an early socialist pioneer who advocated for a form of utopian socialism and co-operative communities.
- Karl Marx: Marx was the foremost socialist intellectual who wrote Das Capital and co-authored The Communist Manifesto.
- George Orwell: Orwell was an English author who was a leading advocate of democratic socialism.
People should know about these scientists because their political beliefs influenced their scientific work and vice versa. The intersection of science and politics is an important topic that can help us understand how scientific discoveries and innovations are shaped by social, economic, and political factors. Learning about these scientists can help us appreciate the diversity of perspectives and ideas that have contributed to scientific progress throughout history.
