  • If you're talking about easily available running shoes, there are still select New Balances that are union made in the US (as of a couple of years ago).

    If you're looking for just sneakers, there are a ton made in Europe you can get shipped to north america! I have Vegas at the moment

  • I did mean itch.io, but that's alright - the ambiguity was my fault and I'm not completely set on itch.io.

  • Millions Turn Out for October 18 ‘No Kings’ Protests Across U.S.

  • Ok, unlike the other commenter, you are engaging and this is a fair point. I don't know enough about the Nepal and South Korea case to assess how fast it took: Yes, it looked like a week to international observers who aren't reading the Nepal Daily or whatever, but I'd want to here from people on the ground about how much or how little lead up and organization there was leading up to the tipping points.

    But that's not disagreeing with you - just saying I genuinely don't know if you're right or not, but I do appreciate the comparisons.

  • 100% agree with the above!

  • I'm a bit confused on how quickly you expect political change to happen...do you think the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of No Kings can be assessed a week on? Imagine you were in Birmingham during the bus boycott - after a week you'd be out there saying "look! We did this and nothing happened!"

    I don't love everything about no kings, the tactics, and the messaging. But give it a second, dude!

  • New York Gov. Kathy Hochul backs NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani

    Jump

  • I don't think so. Its just not necessary. Especially in a city like New York, there will just be a Capital Strike to make sure Mamdani fails at everything he tries. Then they'll blame socialism.

  • Is Lemmy Becoming a Hub for Conspiracy Theorists?

    Jump

  • I don't have a plan or agenda. I think it raises interesting issues about the Fediverse - there is a kind of selection effect in who joins the Fediverse, which I think in some ways can be good (e.g. access to political opinions that aren't taken seriously elsewhere), but I also think as a community we should be wary of its potential downsides. I wasn't calling for censorship of conspiracy theories. It annoys me that they are proliferating, but I wouldn't call for their censorship. But if the situation got super bad (and it is far from super bad at the moment!), I'd probably seek somewhere else to discuss stuff online.

  • Hey @geneva_convenience Always love your posts! Just wanted to say that J Post is a far-right tabloid rag. So just suggesting that you try to find other sources for stuff like this in the future (not denying the truth of this story though).
