  • You're right I conflated your opinions with those I have argued with the past on ML and for that I apologize.

    However, If you think this ends when America dies that's wishful thinking, the oligarchy is as comfortable in Russia, India or Brazil as it is in America and they seem to be shifting as they see the writing on the wall.

  • Means to an end, got it. So be it, If things end up as bad as you seem to predict I hope you can rebuild something from the smoldering ashes. I'll still try my hand at organized resistance.

  • That's a charitable take but when people say they support Donald Trump because he "threatens US hegemony" while not acknowledging:

    • the very real suffering of innocent civilians
    • the threat he poses to Canada and Greenland
    • they are a nuclear super power
    • the normalizing influence this has had on far right policy and indeed advanced it in much of the world

    It makes it ring very hollow. Because if your goal was to replace it with technofuedalism we're on track.

  • Nah, in this thread no less that 4 users on ML basically said wipe America out, despite millions protesting, despite the systemic issues like vote suppression and first pass the post that allowed them to win you put all of the sins on the general public which is problematic at best.

    I'm not saying that America is good, under its current leadership it is absolutely a destabilizing force in the world. But to pass those sins onto the general public is troublesome.

    I want you to imagine if people said the same thing about Russia or China or Israel. Do you understand how many innocent people would die for the actions of their government? There would be no nation left because no nation is without guilt.

  • I think they're just hoping because if y'all do it for free it gets a little sad.

  • He is a Russian Asset though, I would place most of his actions on the heritage foundation but they've been warning for years before he took office that he has Russian strings.

    Sure it's not the reason he does everything but he has big enough lips to kiss many asses.

  • What's the argument here? Is it that America has always been that? YES, WE KNOW, WE WANT THAT TO CHANGE.

  • It's their gameplan for everything, defund it until it's a limping husk of what it should be and make a case for why it can't work.

  • This is the real issue, if I have to read another story like Guardaworld making Alligator Alcatraz I'm going to cut a bitch.

  • never boo someone for being late to a party, just hand them a beer

  • f-f-f-f-f-ucking BASED, Every word she said was like it came out of my own mouth, I love the little bastard

  • Yes

    Jump
  • As a white man, I agree

  • From what I've heard it's got a worse Nazi problem than Twitter

  • Bazzite is a good option.

  • Yeah don't get me wrong Biden wasn't my favorite but the ICE funding he put in place was for expansion on accommodations to prisoners so they could be treated humanely while in custody.

    In regards to Gaza, not going to defend him, he was all talk no action. Israel's actions were a travesty from the start.

    However it has only expanded under Trump. If one could compare the magnitude of travesties such as this it has only accelerated under Trump.

  • I'd agree with that, they've been running right if center for a long time and their intentional stifling of real progressives have been a large reason for voter apathy. I am happy that AOC and Mamdani show that real change is possible but I won't hold my breath that the party will change their tune any time soon.

  • I'll give you that Dems are great at shooting themselves in the foot but in recent elections Russian propaganda has had a real effect and it would be dangerous to pretend otherwise. That being said I think Mamdani has shown the real progressives win. So let's hope this gets through but I won't hold my breath. Look forward to another four years of them trying to win over 'middle America'

  • No of course not, meant only to imply that it does not rest solely with him

  • This is the first take I'm 100% on board with.
