  • Steve Bannon Slams ‘Toddler’ Elon Musk After Tesla Owner Tells Critics To ‘F**k Yourself In the Face’ As MAGA Civil War Rages On

  • Should Maga be more racist or more classist? That's the question.

  • Got it. I edited for clarity.

  • I'm thinking more of the "commanding heights of the economy", rather than small time professionals. So, I'm talking Amazon, Google, Walmart, that stuff.

  • Lol, fixed

  • I'm a fan of UB I+S. Universal basic income AND universal basic services. Plus hight high taxes for the rich. And workplace democracy. And a massive shift of the economy to the nonprofit sector: if what your company multimillion corporation is providing is a utility, you can't have making a profit be your fiduciary responsibility.

    Basically, fuck capitalism, I want socialism.

  • London teen jailed for one year in Dubai after 'holiday romance' with 17-year-old girl

    Jump

  • I wonder if there is a law in the UK that would allow the parents of the boy to sue the mother of the girl for snitching. Like, she weaponized the laws of another country that criminalize behaviours that are legal in the UK, for things that happened between UK citizens abroad. That sounds like something UK legislators might have the power and incentive to legislate, right?

    Also, I would not fault the girl if she hated her horrible mother for the rest of her life.

  • Mike Johnson aiming to ax 75 percent of federal agencies

  • I have no idea what that means.

  • As an outsider looking in, I am wondering whether this might mean that the Republican party has a vision for a weaker federal government, such that the states would have more, well, rights. I.e., if the federal government gets very scaled down, is that at the same time emptying up the regulatory space for individual states to go in all sorts of different directions, or does it come with some kind of libertarian straightjacket?

    The majority of the US population lives in wealthy blue states. If the regressive rural states can't stomach the kind of extensive welfare state that makes sense in more urbanized places, fine. Like a "two speed Europe", they can choose to stay behind, so long as California, Massachusetts, NY etc get the freedom to experiment with social democratic policies.

    Edit: this kind of more decoupled federalism also exists eg in Canada. Quebec gets to pretend it's France while Alberta gets to pretend it's Texas.

  • ‘People feel drained’: anti-Trump Americans face temptation to tune out

    Jump

  • The very very low bar that everyone should have for the Democrats right now is to expect them to be furiously working to win the House and the Senate in the next midterm election. Like balls to the wall, all out. Anything less is completely acquiescing to trumpism.

    You want more? They should be strategizing how to flip state legislatures. They should be working on lower levers of government from the bottom up, to fight gerrymandering and electoral shenanigans.

    And these are just the normie political stuff. I'm not even going to get into the grassroots organizing, movement building, leadership development, labour organizing etc.

    Franklin did tell you, from the very start: "a republic if you can keep it". Do you want to keep it?

    My two Canadian cents, take it or leave it.

  • None of the feminists I've ever personally met do this. Are you sure you're not just rageposting right wing propaganda?

    Asserting that "women are just humans too" is literally feminism.

  • Walmart just leveled with Americans: China won’t be paying for Trump’s tariffs, in all likelihood you will

  • I honestly don't understand what this comment is trying to say. Lemmy is embracing something? Walmart is lying? Compared to Trump?
