  • Yeah, lowering taxes for the rich and increasing taxes for the rich are really just two sides of the same coin! Privatisation? Nationalization? Potato potahto! Dumbest shit I've heard all night, and I listen to myself when I talk.

  • We're talking about democrats here. They're a firmly right wing party.

  • You misunderstand their incentives. They're beholden to the billionaires, not to you.

  • He could lose 99% of it and come out completely unscathed. He lives in a reality separate from ours. The only thing he'll feel is a bullet through the head. Here's hoping!

  • What makes you say this? All the statistics I saw (not that many, but enough to get a vibe) were pretty poor, and that's from before he went mask-off capital owner.

  • They're called the apartheid defense league for a reason

  • A community of adherents of a political ideology which is fringe and marginal, and at the same time responsible for Trump's victory. Very dangerous individuals.

  • So basically taking a page from the US playbook?

  • We have some evidence for number 1 already. When he was campaigning, his messaging was progressive, and he actually referred to himself as a progressive plenty of times. Then, when Israel started the genocide, he became the hawkiest of hawks and claimed that he never said he was a progressive. The guy is a prime example of a career politician.

  • Thank you for your detailed reply! It also helps explain the cynicism in the other two replies a bit.

  • What's agile?

  • "I'm gonna stop using GNU/Linux because I don't like Richard Stallman"

    It's valid to dislike the devs (I disagree, I've found them nothing but courteous, and have read their posts with interest), but it's ridiculous to exclude their software from this list.

  • Are you purposefully playing the perfect rube? Exploited immigrants are not the bad guy here, the owning class is.

  • You can add Libya to the list. Slave trade has been booming there since Gaddafi was forcibly ousted.

  • EDIT: lot of downvotes, no replies. I know I talk a lot about gaza in this comment, but that's just because that's something I know about. I'm way less informed about the Ukraine conflict. Ultimately this comment is just asking for what you believe and why you believe it, read the final sentence first.

    I kind of tapped out on paying attention to this conflict, I'm already losing enough sleep over the genocide in Gaza.

    With the conflict in Gaza, my opinion is that a ceasefire would be best, followed by an abolition of the apartheid state by means similar to how the one in SA was abolished (forced by global divestment like that enforced by 1986 US anti-apartheid act, etc). On a moral level, this solution feels unsatisfying. So much land has been stolen from the Palestinians, and part of me wants them to fight and win it all back, so advocating for a peaceful resolution hurts. But I also know that realistically, continuing to pursue armed conflict will only result in more Palestinian deaths, and more loss of territory, so I reluctantly join protests in favor of a ceasefire.

    I realize that the conflicts are different. Russia is much more powerful than Israel, the Palestinian ethnic cleansing has been going on for decades, etc. So I don't know what to feel about the Ukraine conflict. The pro-peace POV I've already heard. Ceasefire, concede Crimea to Russia, Ukraine becomes non-NATO zone, and the killing stops. For the pro-war people in the Ukraine conflict, what are you hoping for, and what facts make you feel this hope is realistic?

  • It's always good to hear what the experts have to say on these matters.
