I do not owe kindness to those who oppress others. I will assume good faith and intelligence until proven otherwise.

Kill all Zionists, from the river to the sea. That includes you if you're offended by this.

I love being hated by Hexbear because I know they don't go outside. Being outside their basement is all I need to be safe from them.

  • Yep, it would need to be decarbed (a process that a child can't do unless they explicitly look it up) and then ate with a fat to bind it for the liver.

    Otherwise they're chewing up a plant that tastes kinda bad.

  • The American democratic republic has died. It was 236 years old.

  • Only recently has everyone above the 18 had the ability to vote, excluding those who are slaves as per the 13th amendment. For most of American history, women couldn't vote. Black people weren't considered people. We kicked out anyone Chinese. We locked away Japanese Americans because they were ethnically Japanese.

    America was maybe a democracy for 56 years, since the Voting Rights Act of 1968. That's a stretch at best, as the country never healed for being an Apartheid for 200 years.

  • Aside from this being a little fucking melodramatic and defeatist, the thing that really bothers me is the implicit assumption that if only we’d all just vote blue no matter who we wouldn’t have this problem, like the Democratic Party hasn’t been kowtowing to and enabling those same oligarchs to undermine our democracy. I

    Reminder that Clinton pushed for Trump to be the nominee as she thought she would win easier with him. Trump is a non-zero amount of Clinton's fault.

    Don’t get me wrong, boom tomorrow is definitely better than boom today, but it’s important to not forget that there was never not going to be a boom.

    Playing hot potato with a bomb, passing it along between various administrations and congressional members, and none of them were going to get hurt. It was always going to explode with the victims being the 99%.

  • Even if they had the time frame that Republicans had with drafting and promoting Project 2025, they could have had their own. They knew it existed, only Trump pretended it never existed and was a hoax.

    If the DNC had its own Project 2025, something like "Project End Fascism" it could have worked. Instead we got "Maybe 100K for new home owners. Not gonna go after the corporations buying every home."

  • So many people will say "this is a gross oversimplification, they do lots of progressive things" while ignoring the world around them.

    The fact we had to invent a political term for them is enough to tell me that we need to abandon this fascist supporting party.

  • Democrats Need to Make Republicans Fear the Consequences of Attempting a Dictatorship

    Jump

  • Maybe someday we'll have politicians face consequences for their actions, but it's not gonna happen.

    Trump was found guilty of several crimes and still got to run for office. Dozens of senators are doing on obvious insider trading and don't get a tap on the wrist.

  • I had an interaction with one of their mods and it was very disappointing to see them so confidently on the side of silencing voices speaking up about genocide.

    Was it JeffW or JordanLund? Both of those dudes can't help defend genocide. Especially JL, he openly hates Black Lives Matter.

    Sometimes I get the feeling lemmy.world is run by a bunch of centrists who’s hobby it is to undermine leftism because they are afraid of leftwing beliefs exactly the way pathetic conservatives are, and it makes it hard to take the entire community seriously.

    And they call us the Russian Psyop/bot. I've had so many people say things like "I'm a leftist, but [defending the most conservative positions possible]." At least .ml is honest in their intentions.

    Some of the prominent very active low effort posters like Pugjesus have absolutely trash views when you actually get into a conversation about their beliefs.

    And he's so fucking smug! He will defend his trash opinions, say he's the smartest one in the room, and then act like he's the victim when he says something like "I don't think you should ally with these people when ICE comes knocking" or "I don't have to respect the pronouns of people I don't like."

    Lemmy.world is a majority of my blocklist. I like a handful of users from it. But the mods and admins have cultivated a inverted MAGA mentalitt around themselves. Anytime you critize their favorite thing, you'll be banned and blocked. And then they claim it's evil when .ml does the exact same thing.

  • Kevin McCarthy Says AOC Could Crush Old Guard Dems and ‘Become the Leader of the Democratic Party’

    Jump

  • AOC makes Trump and his shit-lickers afraid. Pelosi and Schumer don't spark any fear.

    And the DNC keeps the ones who he can rally around the flag to blame for anything bad. Because no one really likes Pelosi and Schumer. People like AOC.

    Remember when calling them weird was working, making them cower and the media loved it? And then they just... Stopped because how dare anyone be rude to fascists.

  • Where was the outrage when AIPAC dropped money bombs on progressive primaries to silence opposition against Israel and the Genocide of Palestinians?

    Well when people called it out, Reddit and Lemmy said anyone who saw this was:

    • Antisemitic for not wanting murder
    • A Tankie/Russian Bot
    • Somehow wanting Trump to win by having better candidate to win against Trump
    • Sore losers who didn't like a "fair" election like Trump
    • A Bernie bro who hates $THING

    If you look at the lemmy.world modlog, so many people calling out this were removed and banned, and then the userbase acted dumbfounded when the legitimate users were "quiet" after being banned, so it verified their bias of "everyone who disagrees with what my favorite political tells me is a bot/troll".

  • Might as well make a bet if the sun will rise tomorrow.

    If they fought against fascists like they do to progressives, Trump wouldn't have had any chance at even the nomination in 2016.

  • Well if the DNC doesn't want to win and get Trump out, they don't have to run a candidate. If they want to split the vote from an engaged voter base wanting something new to kick out the fascist, that's on them.

  • "We can't run a woman, America doesn't want one as president!"

    "Here's AOC having some of the biggest rallies in recorded American history, showing people are wanting to follow her lead."

    "...Well she's also brown, so clearly no one wants to follow her for that too."

    I wonder why they don't want AOC to run as a popular front runner, but have Harris have a second chance at losing again...
