  • Again, have you tried?

    Every fuckin day, bud. It has quite literally never happened without it.

    Yes, quite sure

    Those are billion-dollar psyop campaigns run by the largest and most well-funded intelligence agencies in the world.

  • We need rate limiting for user comments, Jesus christ

  • Why not?

    Because capital will never cede power without a threat of violence (implicit or otherwise).

    China and Russia [...] did it all for PENNIES

  • Step 1: Engender class consciousness in the american working class <--- You are here

    Step 2: Organize

    Step 3: Demonstrate

    Step 4: Continue escalating until the capital class is forced to negotiate

    Notice that 'vote' does not appear on this list.

  • It's not a voter problem, it's a capitalism problem.

    In a capitalist democracy, it's capital that sets the rules for governance, not the other way around. You can have a social democracy, but you can't undo capital in a capitalist democracy by voting.

  • The one that they keep spending billions of dollars every year to influence

    Which is why voting cannot overcome capital. I'm not saying voting is pointless, only that voting has been made to be incapable of undoing the power that has accumulated under capital.

    The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house.

  • I'm suggesting we abolish the capital class.

  • There is no electoral system that can overcome a sufficiently organized and motivated capital class.

  • I'd start watching the MCU again if there was a she-shrimp superhero with pistol-shrimp powers

  • We cannot vote our way out of this

    Idk how many times the democrats need to prove this, but the DNC exists to protect capital interests against socialist policies and candidates.

    This isn't a problem with FPTP systems, its a problem of class conflict, and our whole fucking system was built with it in mind. Democrats will sooner partner with fascists to arrest progressive opposition than allow them to pull the country to the left of them.

  • Leadership will pick the least objectionable neolib to promote the shit out of, and they'll end up gambling - again - that voters care more about sticking it to Trump than achieving real relief from our capitalistic hellscape.

    Newsom's only redeeming qualoty is his ability to get under Trump's skin. Literally everything else is focus-group tested neo-liberalism.

    Early to be predicting anything but dems are fucked if Newsom is gonna be their guy.

  • Someone should compile a list of currently produced car makes and models that are free to modify and repair without software locks on them

    I imagine it's a pretty short list.

  • Banned from world@lemmy.world for calling out a Russian troll

  • Like I said, its not about having evidence or not. It's a disingenuous way of harassing someone for having an opinion you disagree with.

    If the opinion is a rule-breaking one, then report it. If it isn't, find a more constructive way to deal with your disagreement.

  • Accusing a user of being a paid troll account is against the rules in most instances, even if you somehow have strong evidence for it.

    It's an unfalsifiable claim and is frequently used as a way to harass another user over a disagreement.

    YDI.

  • Lmao, liberals deluding themselves thinking authoritarianism just pops into existence out of happenstance

  • Nah, I can just see past the noise of nationalism to what systemic conditions gave rise to it. Thinking we can return to liberal democracy without seizing some portion of our means of production away from private ownership is nothing more than naivete.

    But keep winging about the horrors of socialism.

  • You could be, yea. But its not at all because you refuse to use particular labels, but because you seem all too comfortable running cover for people who fit them.

  • A euphemism and an understatement of fact is pretty illuminating on your views of the world's most famous mass murderer.

  • You didnt criticize him at all, you said you didnt like 'what he did with concentration camps'.

    You have stronger criticism for feminists, and that says quite a bit about your politics.
