The west lies, but North Korea literally is a horrible place rife with famine and suffering.
the state department has admitted to make this shit up; do yourself a favor instead of looking like another maga and educate yourself of what your hegemony has already publicly admitted (decades ago) to doing.
the epsteins control bitcoin; this is going to bite them in the ass.
the genz slang combined with ml slang like this makes for plenty of provocative statements. lol
me, every single time i go to a social event because my therapist says it’s good for me. lol
thanks goodness we fucked all those poor people. lol
“BoTh ThInGs”
did you mean “both sides”?
in case you’re not already aware: american liberals use “both sides” as a talking point to prevent discussion of how democrats also engage in the same bullshit that the republicans do.
Which browser and adlocker are you using?
I’m not seeing this at on Firefox w ublock origin
for whom? lol
the tankies during the abolishment era?
i came here to say this and marvel at how people could forget such a horrifying movie. lol
in the future, this is how kirk and epstein will be remembered in american history books and all the angry libs on the fediverse are working hard to make it happen. lol
The CPC follows Marxism-Leninism Xi Jinping Thought, which carries forward Mao Zedong Thought but rejects “Maoism,” as an example.
maoists aren’t marxists?
these god damned evil tankies are forcing people to learn and IT MUST BE STOPPED!!! lol
it’s worse when everything is manual because they don’t “trust scripts” due to them not fully understanding what automation means.
i have lemmy to thank for ending my doomscrolling and reminding me that i’m not alone—and more than just theoretically so.
I live in Oakland, California, and here I feel the longing for radical change in the air. I’m sorry that you don’t. Where do you live? Do you have a local political community?
the last time i felt hopeful was when i lived near san francisco. oakland was the place i would go to regain my sanity for almost 15 years. over the last 27 years – both before and after living in the bay area – i’ve lived in and around new york, phoenix, austin, chicago, newark, and las vegas. that experience has taught me that there are bubbles of sanity so disconnected from the overwhelming majority of this country that reconciliation seems unlikely.
my family cements that sense of irreconcilability. my parents, aunts, uncles, siblings, cousins, and i had to pay coyotes to smuggle us across the border. we did our best to thrive without legal status in this country that wanted us gone. that situation became a crucible that forced a liberal/leftist collectivist mindset – necessary for survival – but that mindset is now being completely wiped away. our children, who never had our experiences, either embrace maga’s “rugged individualism” or simply think the rest of us are “overreacting” to trump. and all of us who have coupled with white americans are likewise brainwormed now.
it’s only the younger generations who grew up in the bubbles who stay true to their heritage. they are both a tiny minority and significantly poorer than their suburban/rural cousins. it breaks my heart to watch my siblings eschew their deeply held beliefs just to keep access to their grandchildren – and especially so for my father, who drilled those beliefs into my head as a child. it makes me partly glad that my mother didn’t live long enough to do the same.
moving from city to city over the decades has taught me that my experience is extremely common and indicative of the undeniable conservative trend this country has been undergoing since the '70s. lemmy has done a lot to convince me to try reaching back out to socialist groups again. i’m hoping they’ve stopped being as feckless as they used to be.
Even if the Dems are bad, they are not fascists (for now). Pray they don’t become fascists.
Graham Platner literally has a white power tattoo on his chest and has been a paid mercenary for the imperialist projects in Iraq/Afghanistan.
He’s also considered to be the most progressive Democrat in Maine’s election this year.
the epstein files shows in plain back-and-white print that the system is captured by a ruling class of people who exist above the law to such a degree that they can flaunt their activities to the world in unencrypted messages; calling it merely imperfect is an dramatic understatement.
there’s plenty of people decrying the descent of critical thinking and media literacy skills and there seems to be a body of work supporting it.
neither are arenas that i know much about; but it’s hard to deny it’s trend by either reviewing that body or work or trying to understand why trump still enjoys 36% support of americans despite all he’s done.
why do you suppose that this is downvoted?
