Just your average friendly neighbourhood radical.

  • The US isn't a Democracy. It's a Capitalist Oligarchy. You know. Like Russia.

    Jump

  • Do you have any clue what living in an actually undemocratic country is like?

    Of course not. I grew up in a fascist state (Apartheid-South Africa) that was most definitely classified as "democratic" by the very same western "democracies" that are now also classifying Israel as "democratic."

    So no... what would I know about it?

    The mere fact you’re able to protest should not be taken for granted.

    They only allow you to protest until the protesting threatens the status quo. Then you'll see all these (supposedly) "democratic" states act no differently than the ones without all the liberal pretensions.

  • USA is a flawed democracy.

    Lol! You need to actually have democracy in order for it to be "flawed," genius.

  • The US kills opposition leaders everywhere else.

  • Horrific

  • It’s also culture, some people truly think they’re responsibly as parents end at 18.

    That's not culture. That's ideology.

  • Horrific

    Jump

  • Yeah, I don’t like calling what all people should get a ‘privilege’.

    If all people don't get it it becomes a privilege. And one can make the argument that our society is actually run on privilege, and definitely not on the idea of rights.

  • Horrific

    Jump

  • Privilege is what we actually have (or don't have) instead of actually having "rights" or "freedoms."

  • Police Illegally Sell Restricted Weapons; Supplying Crime

  • "If I'm guilty of this, every cop in the nation's going to jail,"

    I guess those anarchists were onto something when they said all violence flows from the state.

    Funny how that turned out.,

  • Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?

  • Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?

    Nope. Killing a billionaire parasite doesn't make one a murderer - it merely makes one a credit to the human race.

    P.S. this topic is highly controversial

    Not really.

  • Why did communism always turn into a kind of dictatorship?

    Jump

  • Because there was never anything communist about these states in any way whatsoever.

    Communism is a state (as in a social, political and economic condition, not a government). None of these states ever reached this condition, and, therefore, was never communist. And, one could argue, that their development literally went the opposite way to what could be called communist with a straight face. As the anarchist Bakunin famously said, "the people's boot is still a boot."

    This is why the Maoist-types call this shit "democratic centralism," which is essentially just double-speak for "what the party says goes."

    This does not make the idea of communism invalid - but it's still as perfectly vague as ever, unfortunately.

  • I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas?

    Jump

  • Scratch a fascist and a liberal bleeds.

  • Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are?

    Jump

  • Why do you need to imply I have some racist agenda here?

    This you?

    Putin has singlehandedly caused more death and suffering than anyone else.

  • I'd suggest NOT giving him more liberalism, since that has already demonstrated the predictable outcome.

  • Locked

    Probably the easiest boycott you could do, let's do it Lemmy!

  • Where the fuck do you libs get your misinformation from?

    That's not where the term comes from.

  • Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are?

    Jump

  • The (so-called) "War On Terror" unleashed by George Bush has caused about 900,000 dead. That is just the death DIRECTLY caused by warfare and not the far, far greater number of people dead through indirect causes such as starvation and disease as a result.

    Or does it only count in your book when the people dying "look like us"?

  • Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are?

    Jump

  • Putin is a scumbag, but he still has a long way to go to even beat George Bush Jnr, and he doesn't even scratch the paint on Henry Kissinger's record levels of crimes perpetrated against humanity.

  • Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are?

    Jump

  • Putin has singlehandedly caused more death and suffering than anyone else.

    And your proof of this is... what?

    I almost never see the kind of hateful, nasty, and mean comments directed at him

    Because Putin is not a product of the US. Trump is, and, to a large extent, so is Musk.

  • Handguns are there because you lack the upper body strength to fight off an attacker.

    That's not what firearms are. They are killing tools. Plain and simple. Not "self-defence" tools. Killing tools. The US military does not provide it's personel with firearms to "self-defend" themselves from rape.

    4B stops no rapist.

    How does a handgun stop a woman from marrying a rapist or ending up in a relationship with one?

    Your understanding of the term "self-defence" isn't based on reality.

  • Th 4B movement isn't a political statement. At this point, it's simply self-defense.

  • Practically/virtually no one believes the phrase “your body, my choice.”

    It is "practically/virtually" the ideology of pro-rape right-wingers everywhere. Why the fuck do you think they spent so much effort to crush abortion rights?
