Can’t wait till EUV comes out, they say it’s due for a 2025 release

The United Nations is designed to be an open forum for nations to peacefully resolve issues. The body to handle things like this would be the Security Council, which has five permanent members: France, Britain, Russia, China, and the United States, along with a number of randomly selected members.

In this case, the United States is blocking the UN’s ability to hold Israel responsible. It’s just the United States. The protection of the United States in the international community is the only thing allowing Israel to continue its genocide.

Who?

It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment.

If the Democrats wanted me to vote for their candidate they should have picked one that didn’t suck balls

Proteins don’t necessarily just mean meats etc. Most vegetables and grains have protein in them that is contributing towards your daily requirements.

Zelensky offers to give up something he’s about to lose anyways in order to gain something that isn’t going to happen.

Those probably aren’t hairs you’ve eaten; long hairs tend to just fall into your shirt/pants and are worked up into your butt as you walk around for the day.

The difference between such a machine and a worker is that the worker has the power to withhold their labor and a machine (or animal) does not. An animal will never show solidarity with the workers’ movement.

I’m not saying that animal rights are bad. I’m generally in favor of them. But they have nothing to do with Marxism. In fact, I would call any call to have solidarity with a group incapable of or unwilling to have solidarity with the general workers’ movement to be a form of Ultra-Leftism.

And I’d appreciate people not over-extending this analogy. Some workers are queer, or immigrants, or disabled. Most are female or colored. These are all people who have the agency and incentive to show solidarity with the Socialist movement. Animals have neither agency nor incentive.

That’s not to say that there is no Marxist justification for working with or even making concessions to Vegans. They make up a significant part of the general left-wing movement and animal rights are a bargaining chip that may be used to gain their support when it is strategically necessary. And, again, I am in favor of some animal rights - I just recognize that that is coming from the moral side of my brain and not the scientific side.

Animal rights are not defensible as a Marxist point of view. The basis of Marxism is working people and others marginalized under Capitalism joining in solidarity and using their collective power to overturn Capitalism and establish a dictatorship of the working class.

While animals are marginalized under Capitalism, they can neither engage in solidarity nor do they have any power to express in a collective movement.

You may believe that exploitation is animals is immoral, but Marxism is not a moralistic ideology, and there is no direct Marxist justification for animal rights.

If you trained a machine to feel pain when mistreated, desire freedom, and fear death; but it would still perform its function for whoever exploits it, Worker or Capitalist; there would be no Scientific Marxist justification for workers to cease exploitation of the machine.

The only important thing, really, is that the instance you choose doesn’t defederate with other instances for political reasons (except being literal Nazi instances). I find that lemm.ee users have a good mix of political expression ranging from Marxists to Moderate Conservatives. An account there, on lemmy.zip, or lemmy.ml is probably your best bet.

I’m happy with it. I’ve gotten a few temporary suspensions for saying things that I still believe I had a right to say - but that’s the thing, they’re temporary suspensions for a reason. You sit through them, seethe a little bit, and champ at the bit for the opportunity to say the same thing again but angrier.

The only instances Lemmygrad defederates with are porn and fascist instances, which I think is fine - I’m not anti-porn, but you just make a second account for that stuff.

The only things that I think the Lemmygrad admins have a hard time adjudicating are “Internet Leftist” boutique issues - stuff that is rarely taken seriously by actual people in the real world but weirdos on the Internet think are very important.

Unbiased source for this?

Agreed but that fourth picture has to be AI slop

Depends what’s in season. Where I live: crabapples, blackberries, Japanese Silverberries. There’s probably a ton more, but these are the things I feel comfortable eating whenever I find them at a park etc

Settlers are legitimate targets

Don’t worry, you’re still serving an important role in the economy!

As part of the “reserve army of labor”, by your very existence you drive down the wages of other workers in your field, based on the threat that they could be replaced with you.

Are you sure you’re on the right side of history when your side includes Germany, Italy, and Japan, and you’re up against Russia and China?

Perhaps it isn’t the developing third-world country with improving quality of life every year that is the fascist, but rather the same people who have always been the fascists.

I wish being a Communist in the USA made me a billionaire
