Sometimes you hear very progressive news about Kenya and you think it is why one of the few stable and progressive African countries. But then on the one hand, you hear something like this.

“Traditional values”, “sanctity of marriage”, and “Christian values” were already eroded before the large acceptance of lgbt from 2010s onwards.

You’re reading too much into it. Colour ink was still expensive back then up until the late '80s to '00s. Which is why coloured photos were uncommon before, especially in the 1960s.

And before anyone suggests it, professional historians strongly discourage colouring black and white photos. This could give false impression of what the actual colour of some objects, or the subject itself in the photo.

I just Googled by the way of your claim, it turns out that the narrative is indeed hamfisted: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/20/fact-check-most-civil-rights-era-images-werent-made-color/3210472001/

Our ruling: Partly false

We rate this claim as partly false because it excludes context essential to understanding the difference in use between black-and-white and color photographs taken during that time period.

Although there is documented evidence of photo suppression during the civil rights movement, experts said the use of black-and-white over color photography was not part of it.

The post is misinformed and overlooks the fact that color photography was rare in the 1960’s due to its higher price, photojournalists’ need for quick turn-around, the sentiment of black-and-white photography being the “true” way of documentation and the challenges surrounding accurately depicting people of color with color film.

There have been couple of non-Western countries with politicians who are not part of local majority group. There is a white Australian who is like a governor or mayor in Papua New Guinea. Peru infamously had a dictator of Japanese-ancestry. So you get these kinds of things. If a white person wants to become an MP in India, go for it.

Maybe because I grew up multicultural, so I rarely find any strange names, well, strange.

Yup. Hillary is too corrupt. Had Biden ran instead, he would have won back then when he wasn’t senile.

On the one hand, others pointed out that it could also be an acquired trait from watching streamers censoring themselves to prevent de-monitisation. Though I admit that I’m a millennial who grew up in a very profane Internet environment and people didn’t take things too seriously, unlike today. So there could be generational differences going on.

We getting old, fam!

Also I hate this trend of censoring fucking profanity.

No offense, but it’s cos of Americans.

You may be right. We just saw how Russia performed in the war in Ukraine despite the prior years of flexing lol. It’s not impossible to believe that the North Korean military is the same.

Lemmy has the least shills and bots

Because it’s not popular yet. Wait until it becomes so and the inevitable enshittification happens.

A free trip for defection for North Koreans!

Let me tell you, Western women put make up much lighter than East Asian women.

Depends on what you mean by “winning”. Some up votes are agree that the comment makes the most sense; while others are because of hive mind mentality.

Honestly, if I want dopamine hit from social media or forums, I prefer to get replies. I like discussions and see other people’s opinions.

I keep saying this to conservatives: what do they think will happen if there is oversaturation of “useful” jobs? They do not want an educated population, they want a dumbed down and compliant one who are unquestionably obedient.

Norway about to get richer again!

I don’t get what vatniks and Russian trolls are trying to do. Yes, Ukraine is at war and conscription is enforced. So what? What do they expect from a country invaded unprovoked and in a total war as a result?

I think what trolls are trying to do is not trying to demoralise the opponents, but reinforce the propaganda back home in Russia. Russian propaganda is already telling the Russians that they are winning and Ukraine is losing, even though Russia have lost way more soldiers than Ukrainians did in terms of ratio. Yes, Ukraine has fewer people so they are running out of soldiers and recruiting older folks; but Russia has lost plenty more but don’t want to tap the huge but politically-sensitive Russian urban population who will not appreciate being drafted.

Not just that, Kremlin recruits people from poorer regions who desperately needs money so there is still plenty support. https://russiapost.info/regions/majority
