Cripple. History Major. Irritable and in constant pain. Vaguely Left-Wing.

  • TIL "This machine kills fascists" is a message that American musician Woody Guthrie placed on his guitar in the mid-1940s, starting in 1943.

    Jump

  • Woody, a socialist, supported the Leninist revolutions. Only to watch their natural evolution. Stalin helping Hitler invade Poland. As well as exterminating ethnic polish in their own borders. Exterminating their own people etc. And all the atrocities of other individual vanguard parties.

    I mean, he WAS a Stalinist and supported the joint Soviet-Nazi invasion of Poland.

  • Meme.

  • Why does everyone have beef with lemmy.ml

    The admins and mods cultivate a community of genocide denial and authoritarian apologism, which many users on the instance then buy into.

    Why don’t you just block the instance

    Instance blocking only blocks communities, not users, who still show up whenever there's a Chinese genocide to deny or a Russian atrocity to "WHATABOUT", or a non-Western aligned dictator to "BOTHSIDES".

    My current favorite is Taliban-simping.

  • US does all three, because our foreign policy is about as consistent as our presidents.

  • Yeah, very organic and reasonable growth into a gigantic and incomprehensible beast. Fascinating, but, kind of wish I didn't have to live through it.

  • Now you sound like him. But his was an advocacy based less on "Let's get it over with" and more "I've had a brick on the pedal for years and I've been waiting to find a good cliff to drive off of"

  • A left-leaning friend of mine who was big into economics and business (as it was, well, his business) once described our current financial system as having organically and piecemeal emerged bit by bit into a rat's nest of tangled protocols. And that now it's ended up as a Gordian knot strangling us to death, but that cutting will kill us.

  • Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again'

  • Well, the parts ruled by Mexico and Canada, at least.

  • Bernie Sanders: We Need More Working-Class Candidates to Challenge Both Parties

    Jump

  • The senator says in this exclusive interview that challengers to status quo politics can run in Democratic primaries or as independents.

    Terminally online leftists: "BERNIE IS SAYING NEVER VOTE FOR OR COOPERATE WITH THE DEMS LIKE WE'VE BEEN SAYING, VINDICATION"

    Bernie's right, naturally. Change comes from the bottom up, from people volunteering to make a difference.

  • They're just here to cosplay as revolutionaries. They don't give a fuck about the people who actually suffer under these regimes.

  • Trump’s Mass Deportation Plan Can’t Happen If US Military Members Resist It

    Jump

  • I mean, it doesn't matter what Trump says initially. Like how the Muslim-ban definitely wasn't a Muslim-ban once it was challenged. The lawyers will shift the argument while Trump continues using the rhetoric.

  • Trump’s Mass Deportation Plan Can’t Happen If US Military Members Resist It

    Jump

  • More likely is that they'll go through a lawyer to be worded in such a way as suggests ambiguity of legality insofar as the responsibility of the US military to follow the orders is concerned.

  • After Trump's win, Black women are rethinking their role as America's reliable political organizers

    Jump

  • I'm only saying that being demoralized by this whole shitshow is an entirely reasonable reaction, especially from minority groups.

  • After Trump's win, Black women are rethinking their role as America's reliable political organizers

    Jump

  • Yes, abandoning minorities is definitely what I suggested, good going, top-tier literacy. /s

  • Trump’s Mass Deportation Plan Can’t Happen If US Military Members Resist It

    Jump

  • My argument here is that the US military is absolutely going to cooperate.

  • So I would add DNC messaging and campaign strategy to your list of four things above.

    No, the DNC fucked up bad, but their failure still proves point number 1 - if the DNC being fuckups is enough for a voter to vote for or allow fascism, they don't give a fuck about minorities.
