  • Workers mobilize against Trump’s moves to privatize postal service

  • I don’t get this rhetoric. Americans started the largest civil rights protests in human history against police brutality in 2020 with the George Floyd protests. And, it included the destruction of a police station in Minnesota.

  • Yea, I suppose it is about perspective. I started using Facebook in 2009 when I was in high school. For me, it was the same deal— finding friends, hangouts, parties, etc. and it noticeably went downhill as it became more corporate and flooded with boomers who brought a toxic culture to it, imo.

  • Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind?

    Jump

  • There is an argument to be made that fleeing anytime fascists threaten your democracy can maybe done once in a lifetime. If you happen to flee the American fascist regime to another country that collapse into fascism soon after, do you flee again? Do you finally stay and fight?

    People should make these decisions for themselves and their families.

  • Now that's an interesting question

  • Yes, let all the empires fall. By default, boycotting goods made by slave labor/colonization would apply to TEMU, Apple, etc.

  • I suppose the ability to rent or lease property is much easier for digital nomads than the locals. I think the definition is mostly about people who have the ability to just kind of go anywhere as their income isn’t tied to the local economy.

    But, I don’t know. Read this article and maybe it’ll make more sense:

  • Colonialism is also about displacing native/local culture which is what a lot of these digital nomads are doing. One example I’ve seen are the digital nomads trying to stop locals from walking on the public beaches in front of their properties.

  • To be fair, Facebook 2010 was peak and nowhere near the toxic environment it is today.

    I feel there’s an intuitive suspicion when it comes to DNA Ancestry companies.

  • The rise of the digital nomad is just soft colonialism with tech bros.

  • Fuck yes. Doesn’t matter if you’re a German tourist in Mexico, an American tourist in Japan, or a Chinese tourist at an American buffet— respect the local etiquette if you are going to travel.

  • It’s not whataboutism when my entire ideology is anti-nationalism. You don’t get it, do you? I want all of the Western imperialist nations to collapse, including the European ones.

    Your rhetoric is weak and outdated, still viewing the world through borders. You think Musk gives a fuck about borders? Grow up.

  • We are not all the same

    Jump

  • Right. But, I’m an American who strives to boycott goods produced by slave labor and/or colonization by my own government because I believe class solidarity transcends borders.

    The BuyEuropean movement is largely nationalistic and uninterested in class solidarity. Don’t get me wrong, I think the entire world should be boycotting American goods. Let the empire collapse, please.

    But, boycotting American goods while still exploiting the Global South for centuries is not a flex.

  • We are not all the same

    Jump

  • Does this mean Europeans will also boycott goods that they steal from the 17 countries they still have colonized?

    No? Oh.

  • Most swasticar drivers just stared straight ahead looking embarrassed.

    Hell yea. There was probably a point in time where many heads turned to admire their Swasticars and they took some kind of pride in that. All gone now.

    The funniest (to me) reactions were the drivers with their mouths agape and eyes wide in utter astonishment, like they had absolutely no clue what was going on. How out of touch with current events can a person be?

    This would explain the Tesla sells that are somehow still occurring.

  • Barack Obama joins Bluesky

    Jump

  • This is what I find interesting about the framing of blame.

    It was “Obama’s fault” for cheekily responding to Trump’s racist Birther Movement that he was from Africa, with a clip from Lion King?

    This is the racist undertone that a lot of people pick up on when they blame Obama for ‘2025 Hitler’. You forget there were effigies of Obama being lynched outside the White House. Republicans initiated a specific anti-Obama obstructionism policy during his administration. All of this uncooperative behavior was because he was black. Claiming Obama didn’t do enough to appeal to the fascists who weren’t going to work with him on policy anyway is giving a pass to fascists.
