Cripple. History Major. Irritable and in constant pain. Vaguely Left-Wing.

  • What you described, gradual change , is the literal definition of a conservative. So that means you’re a conservative.

    "Harm reduction is conservatism" is where we're at.

    Fuck's sake.

  • After Trump won, there’s nothing left to do except let him show everybody why it was a bad idea.

    "Let the fascist burn down society unopposed" is not exactly a fucking recipe for anything except empowering fascism.

    People don't touch the hot stove and learn their fucking lesson. People touch the hot stove and blame the liberals for burning them.

    There is no effective opposition plan to fascism that involves ceding uncontested control to fascists

  • Golly gee, if only some group had noted that we needed all hands on deck to prevent the fascists from being installed into power and destroying democracy before all this came down.

    Luckily, many brave souls took it upon themselves to campaign that voting Dem was unconscionable under any circumstances. Thanks, guys!

    Any number of murdered minorities is worth Teaching the DNC A Lesson(tm), after all.

  • Mossadegh, Arbenz, Goulart.

    There are only a handful of additional modern examples that fulfill the criteria of democratically elected AND successfully overthrown.

  • The regime silently removed parts of the US Constitution like the writ of habaes corpus from the official website

  • Nah, I'm 30. It's just a relief to be on a community where the majority of the commenters aren't literal children.

  • Probably less about skill, per se, and more about interest. But the (still very low) barrier to entry probably does weed out a few kids.

  • Thank you! And don't feel bad! I've had decades to make coping mechanisms, insurance that covers mental healthcare (for now, at least), and a very supportive family. It sucks to slog through, but these depressive episodes are only temporary. I'll survive.

    I hope I continue to entertain in the months and years to come! 🙏

  • Many of us still follow the situation closely, three years into the war.

  • Would deffo help

    Jump

  • Yes, but also I'm depressed too.

    Still, it would be nice to focus on my own mental health without having to juggle awareness of a dozen new atrocities every fucking month. Like, one or two per month was my mental limit.

  • What meals do you cook when very low on money?

    Jump

  • Ramen. Spaghetti (sauce optional). Rice. Oatmeal.

  • Ha ha this could never have any relevance to the modern day, we LEARN from history, after all, right guys, gals, and enby pals?

    Jump

  • As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

  • What community would you like to see more active on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Subbed. I used to love Men's Lib on Reddit.

  • Explanation: The Nazis were, formally, the National Socialist German Workers' Party. Some people take this to mean that the Nazis were, in some meaningful way, 'left' or socialist.

    The truth is that they were neither. The name was made to appeal to the working-class by feigning interest in workers' issues, but the Nazis drew overwhelmingly from, and addressed the pet issues of, the disaffected middle class. While there were less capitalist-friendly factions in the party (notably, the working-class SA and the Strasserists), they were not what we would recognize as left-wing, instead representing a distinctly reactionary take on opposition to capitalism more in-line with Catholic conservatives expressing resentment of the bourgeoisie in the 19th century.

    Those less-capitalist-friendly factions were suppressed in favor of Hitler's alliance with land magnates and capitalists in 1934, and so became moot in any case.
