EU is going fascist only slightly slower than the US and has been funding an actual genocide almost as hard. They will not be the world’s hope.

Alt-right people are getting banned on Red Note from what I’ve heard.

“Stop spewing more Chinese propaganda.”

Proceeds to spew US propaganda lol.

You might as well be. You’re probably in one of our vassal countries if you’re still falling for US propaganda.

The Chinese aren’t the ones firing people for posting pro Palestinian things on social media or attacking protestors on college campuses or protecting white supremacists in Oregon or Washington. That’s our agencies, our cops.

This is what Israel is trying to do with Palestine, too lol.

And they should make Mastadon accounts or instances instead, especially if they’re affiliated with the government.

It’s insane to me that public utilities and officials use a private, third-party thing like X for official communications when they could be controlling their own servers.

Not native historians lol

It’s like RFK trying to ban medical commercials. I agree with him under this one circumstance, but for entirely different reasons lol.

Way too late for that lol

Lol ya, but that’s been done on purpose. They’ve been underfunding public institutions, including education, for decades, and trying to privatize it. They have been making university seem like it’s only purpose is as a job-training center instead of also opening your mind and improving critical thinking while making it more expensive. They’ve been spewing propaganda at us the whole time through billionaire-funded news and media while slowly undercutting public broadcasting. It’s all been pretty successful apparently.

What, no? Well, as much as you’re saying that Palestinians deserve to be victims of a genocide to protect LGBTQ people. Brown people are already being genocided btw.

You might have me mistaken for someone else. I went out of my way to get people to vote for her but also knew she was doomed if she kept up her current path because I recognized what happened in 2016 and so kept criticizing her for supporting the genocide. I tried to set up a freaking vote exchange thread to swap votes with people in swing states even and got criticized by people here for even trying. I was trying harder than most people here because I recognized the danger and the patterns, instead of burying my head in the sand. I felt like freaking Cassandra lol.

If they’re telling people not to vote for someone because they’re doing something they can by all accounts stop doing, then it’s still on the candidate.

You forgot to mention that the current captain is shooting one POC person a day while it heads into an iceberg.

And the first choice for new captain is the current first mate who by all accounts will not change course, and keeps promising to uphold the shoot a POC person a day policy. And you’re acting surprised they’re not getting popular support from that group.

Nah man, fascism is already here. If you, me, and the rest of the Democrats were willing to tolerate a genocide to keep a system enabling a genocide, then it can’t be denied. We weren’t delaying fascism, we just weren’t the current target of it and because of that, you couldn’t see it. We’re all fucked but it’s because of these exact attitudes that allowed dehumanization to be accepted.

“She could have at least called for a ceasefire,” Khan said. (Harris repeatedly called for a ceasefire during her campaign, including during her Democratic convention speech.)

Ah, it’s just like being on Lemmy!

Oh great, this point again. They changed the meaning of the word ceasefire they were using. They tried to coopt the term into a meaningless one, while Muslims meant a ceasefire with actual effort and teeth behind it, meaning some sort of leverage, not the meaningless one of the Biden administration.

Keep in mind that Biden is still President and they completely ignored the letter they sent before about Israel having thirty days to change their human rights violations. So they clearly don’t give a shit even though they don’t even have to worry about reelection anymore so we can’t blame that.

Ah, yes, humanity is the first and foremost thing to be respected, which is why LGBT Americans have been served to fascists on a silver platter as a protest vote. Peak humanity.

You can’t feign outrage about people served on a platter when you did that exact same thing to people undergoing an active genocide. “First they came for the Palestinians, and I ignored them, because they’re not white.” Is that how the poem goes? You were willing to sacrifice an entire ethnic group so you can feel comfortable. Too many Americans were. Now we’re all going to suffer together, and frankly, we’re going to deserve it.

Oh good point.

What’s the equivalent for the movie and TV streaming?

I’ve been looking for a mutual aid organization to join and looking into what it takes to get a gun in my state. Bleak, I know lol
