It’s not just deforestation, especially in Orangutan habitats that are endangered. They are also rife with forced labor, ie slave labor. They lure desperate foreigners with promises of good jobs, baiting and switching them with a life of slavery doing hard, very hard labor, including kids. The families can sometimes bail them out by paying several thousand dollars, a lot of money to these impoverished bangladeshis and Indians and the like.

Many of the desparate migrants that can speak english well are now sold to chinese gangs to run romance scams from slave compounds, a 40 billion dollar a year industry just in S. Asia they figure now, pig butchering and the like.

Need to find one without any palm oil, boycott palm oil.

Also where is the wintergreen?

While I don’t know what that means, I did read that when using whatsapp in a bloc where the government has control of the telecommunications, they can see who is messaging who by seeing someone sent and someone received a message at the exact same time. Probably is the same for other encrypted messaging apps. Reported in The Intercept.

I was saying a lot of questionable luigi mangione related things after that happened, I couched it all, never came right out saying anything, but that might have caught up with me. That was several accounts ago but they can tell it’s you still I hear tell even though I use temporary email to sign up.

I can fairly certainly confirm that influnece agents are active on lemmy. Including plenty of US government connected ones ginning up support for the Iran war. Especially on the larger .world accounts it appears.

I’m glad they violated my account for a non violation and denied my appeal in the first week of opening a new account then. They aren’t trying to make their moderation believable, I’m persona non grata for whatever reasons, to appease the administration I presume.

Fuck them, glad I stayed off. I kind of need the help on some stuff though, there just aren’t enough people or communities on here yet.

I’m against shirts myself. But in the north that only hold for like three months.

Yes, let’s wear a shirt advertising the substance killing 80k people a year, many in fake pressed pills that used to be safe 10 years back.

Febrile huh? I have no idea wtf you are talking about. But the Satanic Panic started in CA in the 80s, along with a push to disempower judges for prosecutors, as prosecutors for both parties were seized by the aristocracy. They, along with a psychiatrist quack, took allegations of child rape from a crazy person, grabbed these little kids, like 6 years old or something, and browbeat them for days, weeks telling them they know they were abused, you are suprressing it, until they could get them to accuse their parents (some refused.)

It’s a long story, but the practice was exported nationwide, and hundreds of false convictions for baby rape were had, which they expanded to include devil worship. All bad faith. They would do a raid and bring news cameras and props with them. Set up dildos and bdsm gear, satanic and torture stuff, then bring the news cameras in like they found it that way. Prosecutors’ allegations would also just not be possible, claiming big satanic abuse parties in little houses that couldn’t fit them, etc.

The cases fell apart in the 90s, with the kids denouncing the police and their false allegations. Even then prosecutors fought to keep them in prison. Some in the original places they started, bakersfield, the heart of darkness in the central valley, misfiling cases so do gooder lawyers couldn’t challenge their convictions. Bakersfield is notorious for framing people for murder too by the way.

While I am skeptical about these kind of allegations due to the satanic panic in the US in the 80s and 90s, with epstein it looks like it was all projection. It’s always projection, all of it.

But what bears repeating, and acknowledging, is: ‘Social media platforms and search engines appeared to remove or downrank posts, leading to speculation about deliberate censorship’ as some people will take an article not being findable on search engines for it’s lack of existence or lack of credibility.

What fucking world do they live in that google is the arbiter of knowledge and truth?
