Only 31% of Americans say they have confidence that the press reports news fairly and accurately

For the third consecutive year, the number of Americans who claim to completely distrust the media remained higher than those who trust it. The new poll, however, demonstrated a slight drop, with 36% of respondents expressing complete distrust versus 39% in 2023.

A large gap remains between Republicans and Democrats, with only 12% of the former expressing trust in media reporting against 54% of the latter. However, the partisan gap has actually been narrowing in the last couple of years. According to data aggregated by Gallup, in 2022, for instance, some 70% of Democrats expressed confidence in the media.

We must continue our efforts to educate the masses, increasing numbers of Democrats are becoming aware of the propaganda because of the water carrying for the zionist genocide of the Palestinian people.

This one was supposed to come out tomorrow because I already published an essay Sunday, but I must have messed up somewhere. Anyway since we're talking about Korea a lot with the hostilities ramping up around the DMZ I think it's very timely that you get to read this piece ASAP!

Proxitok makes it possible to view Tiktok links in a privacy-respecting client.

For example, take this video: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZIJW68vcC/
We can redirect it to a Proxitok instance (from this list, for example), and we get this: https://proxitok.pabloferreiro.es/redirect/search?term=https://vm.tiktok.com/ZIJW68vcC/&type=url

The necessary code for this bot action would be:

[[reply]]
regex = '((?:https://)?(?:vm|www)\.tiktok\.com/[\w\d?@&=%/-]*)'
msg = '''
#(len(matches) == 1 ? "A Tiktok link was" : "Tiktok links were") detected in your #(type). Here are links to the same #(len(matches) == 1 ? "video" : "videos") on Proxitok, which is a Tiktok frontend that protects your privacy:

#for(i, match in matches):
#if(len(matches) > 1):Link #(i+1):#!if

E: Wasn't really sure where to post this so I defaulted to here 😅
Also I haven't tested it, but I checked it on regex101 and it's correct

Yesterday I made two posts regarding the Belgian municipality elections. They mainly focussed on Antwerp, my city, and the result that we got there (20.2% of the votes).

I felt a little disappointed yesterday because of weeks of talks of possibly becoming the biggest party but after a good night's sleep I feel really proud of managing such a grow and becoming the second largest party.

As a true Antwerpenaar I also need to remind myself of other places in Belgium existing (Belgians will understand this joke) and today the rest of the results are known. I want to highlight some of the other noteworthy results we managed to get.

In Antwerp we also have, as the only municipality in Belgium, elections in our city's district. Last elections we manage to get a really good position in Borgerhout and we even got to govern the past few years together with the socdems. As a reward for the things we achieved, we are now the BIGGEST party in the district. In the district of Hoboken we also managed to become the second biggest party.

In Brussels and its' municipalities we also get really good scores. We keep growing in Molenbeek, Jette, Saint-Gilles, Forest, Anderlecht, Ixelles, Brussels City and Schaarbeek. In Molenbeek, Saint-Gilles and Forest we even managed to get over 20% of the votes. We are able to govern there if other parties want to.

In Wallonia we also keep growing in the big cities of Namur, Charleroi and Liège. In the cities of Herstal and Seraing we even manage to get 30% and 26% of the votes. In places like Saint-Nicolas and La Louvière we also get 20% and 19,2%.

In the city of Moeskroen we got over 20% of the votes, which is noteworthy not only because of the score, but also because it was the first time ever competing in the municipalities there.

All in all we keep growing at a really great pace. We have chances to govern in several municipalities and district. My opinions on electoral politics aside we can be really proud of the results we got. It will give us chances to keep growing and the show what we are capable of.

Let me know in the comments below (Please don't make me pay for Twitter that one was a joke)

Next article to come out is probably the one about Korea since it's very close to being finished. After that I'll have 35 drafts left.

It truly and overwhelmingly is something a white boy Maoist could've written. Many of their other articles are also heavy, heavy stinkers. Often dogmatic even, with this one reeking of chauvinism.

Here's an example:

"W przypadku zwycięstwa Hamasu mamy skrajnie reakcyjny, teokratyczny kalifat zbudowany na zasadzie średniowiecznego szariatu, w którym prawa kobiet porównywalne są z prawami zwierząt domowych."

"In the case of a Hamas victory, we have a reactionary, theocratic califate built on the rules of medieval sharia, where the rights of women are comparable to the rights of livestock"

I don't feel like translating the rest of this "both sides baaaaad!!!" nonsense, not to mention the idealistic bullshit sprinkled within. Use deepl if you want to bear this cognito hazard any further.

Nonetheless, "the institute" has been a major source of disappointment for me. They don't give me good hopes, seeing as many of their older articles praised "chairman" Gonzalo, to only recently have them purged.

Call me a sectarian but when someone calls themselves a Maoist near me I get sceptical, thanks to all the bad shit I've read that they wrote. Even outside of the stuff published by "the institute". They remind me of "Orthodox Marxists" and "Left Communists", an intellectual sect worthy of little attention.

Please don't take this question the wrong way, I am just trying to learn and get the opinions of more people on this subject. I find it interesting.

It's fake, but it's fun.

It touches on India, China, and Palestine. And I think it is well worth a read.

I usually don't post sectarianism. I feel kinda bad, but this is funny.
