The BBC has rightfully criticised russian state owned media in the past for doing similar things but now its doing the same

 

The original scene goes as follows

Sam: It's just... sometimes the world can be a scary place. It's hard to know who's dangerous or not.

Nightshade: Hmm, that's true, though dissapointing.

Sam: Hey, it's ok. I know I'm safe when I'm with my friends or other non-binary people.

Nightshade: Non-binary?

Sam: People who aren't female or male. Oh I'm sorry, I shouldn't have assumed.

Nightshade: I always felt my pronouns felt right, but what a wonderful word for a wonderful experience.

the one on BBC iplayer goes like this:

Sam: It's just... sometimes the world can be a scary place. It's hard to know who's dangerous or not.

Nightshade: Hmm, that's true, though dissapointing.

Sam: Hey, it's ok. I know I'm safe when I'm with my friends.

[second of awkward silence as the audio was removed but nothing was added back in and then it cuts to the next scene]

to fellow brits you can see the edited scene here, 10:15 seconds in: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0g9f9cn/transformers-earthspark-series-1-17-home-part-1?seriesId=unsliced

They're basically reassuring her that they're still transphobic enough for her to support after she went against them to endorse the Communist Party of Britain because one of their candidates put out a really transphobic statement for their election (but then CPB disavowed their member's statement in a really limp waisted way to try and maintain the facade that they're still the social centrists in between the former party RFB and CPGB-ML so she took back her endorsement)

They're making fun of how Brexit was pushed on a platform of getting rid of overstrict EU regulations and bureaucracy (as well as a lot of overt racism) but it turned out a load of it was just homegrown British bureaucracy that had nothing to do with the EU but UKIP voters kept complaining that anything they didn't like about Britain was the fault of the EU anyway

What's the point in memes where it's putting something that's just uncontroversially true and not really that complex of an idea next to a twink wojack

Edit: just read the comments smh. My bad OP you're entirely in the right for this, apparently the basic idea that the dominant ideology reproduces itself is too complicated for people to get, also someone calling you a tankie for this lol

In future I'd advise using the term cis woman instead of biological woman because biological woman has a history of being used as a transphobic term by TERFs to delegitimise trans people, especially in the UK.

just to clarify i want evidence of this specific admin function being misused, i and everyone else already knows that the lemmy.ml mods are trigger happy with their bans, but you’re claiming that they’re misusing the anti-CSAM feature to remove comments from the modlog that they actually removed for criticising china to cover their tracks which i havent seen anyone else accuse them of

Key sections from the article:

The Joe Biden administration will work with Congress on possible sanctions against the International Criminal Court after its prosecutor announced it was seeking arrest warrants for senior Israeli and Hamas officials, US secretary of state Antony Blinken said on Tuesday.

[…]

Blinken’s openness to bipartisan co-operation over the ICC is a sign of the level of anger in Washington over its request for arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and defence minister Yoav Gallant.

[…]

The sanctions could be similar to those imposed by the Trump administration on the ICC’s then chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda and the court’s head of jurisdiction Phakiso Mochochoko for their investigation into alleged US war crimes in Afghanistan. The sanctions froze their American assets and banned their travel to the US. The Biden administration has not yet indicated what kind of sanctions it would support.

[…]

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham praised Schumer’s response to the ICC warrant application and urged him “to follow strong words with strong deeds”.

“It is imperative that the Senate, in a bipartisan way, comes up with crippling sanctions against the ICC — not only to support Israel but to deter any future action against American personnel,” Graham said.

In an interview with MSNBC on Tuesday, Netanyahu said his response to the ICC’s announcement was “no different from what President Biden said, this is outrageous and many people across the political spectrum in the United States . . . have called it exactly that”.

“It’s a rogue prosecutor who’s out to demonise the one and only Jewish state,” he added.

accidentally posted this in world news before bcs i forgot about the no internal US news rule by accident

Congressman Adam Smith says ‘totalitarian’ protesters are ‘trying to silence anyone who dares to disagree with them’

Protesters calling for Israel to cease fire in its war with Hamas who have disrupted US public events and infrastructure are practicing “leftwing fascism” or “leftwing totalitarianism”, a senior US House Democrat said, adding that such protesters are “challenging representative democracy” and should be arrested.

“Intimidation is the tactic,” said Adam Smith of Washington state, the ranking Democrat on the House armed services committee. “Intimidation and an effort to silence opposition … I don’t know if there’s such a thing as leftwing fascism. If you want to just call it leftwing totalitarianism, then that’s what it is. It is a direct challenge to representative democracy now.”
